That's what I was doing but I found the base game for 24.99 hard to resist. I got to play a little bit more last night. I thought that with the automatic transmission I wouldn't have to manually put it in gear to get out of neutral. Who knew? Not this guy Any I tried the Aston Martin GT3 at Mosport, then I took the Panoz lmp car I think to Lexington. I thought to myself it seems really easy to drive but then I realized I had all of the aids on Once I get more comfortable I will start turning stuff off. I usually leave the weak ABS and depending on the car low level Traction Control. Enjoying the game so far
