I was playing this morning and the texture of the track disappeared.

They could have picked some original soundtracks instead of ripping off Burnout Revenge & TDU though.

whats your gamertag kev?

I started with the nissan silvia (well 200 sx) and it been good so far, putting slicks on makes a massive difference. won a few nice cars but nothing great yet, think I'll be putting a lot of time into this game!

No, you get some logos and various shapes and letters, I used them to make up the RCM livery

I went for a Saab 9-3 in Blue, this game is realistic as its a poo handling, torque steering hippo on a waterbed drive just like my real one !

Wasnt into it last night as I have been away for a couple of days, will give it another go today.

Loving it so far, although I've now modded my Mini till it just either understeers off the road or lights up the inside tyre through corners (wanted to avoid going into Group A with it so haven't fitted a LSD).

Go to the Vinyl shapes bit, then press the right trigger a few times, and you'll get some lettering.

I take it all back. I'm enjoying it a lot!

Think I do need a wheel after all

Analogue stick isn't analogue enough!!!!

Is there no way to join specific matches or friends? I.e. how would we all get onto the same race?

On impulse I bought a copy of the standard edition in Sainsbury's earlier tonight as I hadn't realised it'd just come out. Working my way through the lowest stages in a blue Golf GTi Mk5. So far, so good - like the graphics and I'm looking forward to modding

Unfortunately, 'er indoors is watching Joseph, so I won't be able to continue until later on today.

A mate of mine picked the standard edition up from PC World for £29.99 today. Had a voucher in the paper, but you can go online and reserve a copy for collection for the same price.
