Played on simulation difficulty

Quite hard in the Porsche race car when you have to use the left bumper button as a clutch

Graphics look pretty damn smooth and sweet, it seams to play a lot more "grown up"

A wider track to play on would have been nice. Not that I'm crap or anything.

Hmm, why do all the cars look like they're made of plastic? It's gone all GT5 and lost some of the (graphical) realism in the process imo.

During the timed lap can you rewind? and if so does you lap time still count?

I haven't got the demo (smegging broadband!) but I would have hoped the answer to your question is 'no, if you use the rewind then your laptime doesn't count' otherwise it'll make a mockery of the hotlap competitions.

I preordered this ages ago, can't wait! The only problem I foresee is that my wife is due to give birth on the 15th October so I may have to limit my game time slightly, at least for the first couple of weeks

Then that is rubbish, unless when the game comes out you can list the top laptimes and filter out the ones that have used the rewind function.

My broadbands back! but when I fired up the 360 it said there was an update available, so I clicked ok and it installed it, reset itself and now it's stuck on the Xbox 360 logo at the beginning!?!

LOL that was my car in the air if I remeber correctly. Got taken out at sunset infield then set a few scorching laps to end up mixing it again at the front of the pack.

found the demo great fun but would like a wider track to feel the handling a bit better. feels almost he same as Forza 2 so that's a good thing.

looking forward to some SN nights on this. Racing with a sensible bunch in the past was great fun.

promise I'll take it easy on you n00bs
