Fair enough. But that's the second time I've read experienced motoring journalists say that the handling and feel reflects the real life car. But then I'm sure within each of the physics models there are cars that work well and those that don't (the Elise feels crap in gt5).
For a quick post...
I think what put me off with Forza is the slight arcade feel to the handling. Jumping in an M3 and drifting it with ease is fun, but it's too easy. In my own opinion.
Not the usual silly arguments, an in-depth comparison from people that have driven several of the cars in reality. Interesting read.

General conclusion seems to be that Forza is more fun, and obviously...
Mental. I still think it's mad that you can pass your test, have f**k all experience and drive a quick car. Should be limited to a certain engine size for 12months.
The update is awesome! Has remedied the most annoying fault. Complete a race, having to then go back into the race menu and restart if you wanted to. Now you can just redo the race in te post race menu.
That may be the problem. The planetgt setup just doesn't work for me, best I could manage was 3rd (one of the setups has 7camber!). Default setup, max downforce, high rpm turbo.
Stripping it completely gains you a bit on track, but loses you masses on the road. Perfectly easy to make it good for track (better seats, coilovers etc etc) but retain most of the interior.
That way rather than having a good track car that's horrible to use on the road, you end up with a...
Looks nice. Suspension wise, kw v2's. Adjustable damping (can adjust all four from under the bonnet and boot in under 2mins). Brilliant for road use (supple, rides very well) and great on track. Not cheap mind.
It's ok if it's damp (the tyre noise on dry days trips the H&S jobsworths), and you're not being silly.
There was an M5 I was behind at Bedford, spent every corner sideways. But controlled.
