Downloaded the Demo and played a bit.

The game feels good much like DIRT. I don't like the sound at all maybe because the volume wasn't that high. The idea I got is that it sounds like a signal generator from the 70's instead of a BMW of 2008..

I played the demo and its pretty good. A little different in terms of control compared to forza. It will take a bit of getting used to. It looks very similar in the menu system to Dirt which is a good thing.
Ill probably get it at launch.

Had a go but feels a tad bit unfamiliar jumping from Forza to this but it certainly has a few things going for it .. one notable thing is the in car view which is missing from certain games such as Forza and so on but not a revelation I.e. noting new.

Has anyone else beat the world record and submitted a time yet?
I got a 1:17:41 but im sure there are ones a lot better than that
It would be cool to win the beemer though.
Also reading the terms and conditions it did'nt mention ireland as part of the participating countries.

I tried a few laps with the controller but couldn't manage less than 1:19.4 so your time is quite good

I might take out the old steering wheel again and try it on this. I have a feeling that I will be better with the controller though like in Forza.

Yes, I beat it in a short session and probably could knock a few seconds of it ..if I give up my life lol. The best times are in the mid to high 1:14 last time I looked when I entered my code.

Well if its any addition to you the best players on Forza use the steering wheel so there must be some method in the madness.

Ill give it a go anyway and see what happens.

I played a few online races last night and at the start it really is like a destruction derby. Its good craic though and all in good fun. Its really difficult to make it through the first and second corners. After that though its really good racing.
