    I think he meant "why not both Barcelona and Sebring?"

    For all the history of humans disagreeing about things, the one thing that the entire of humanity has ever agreed upon is that the chicane at Barcelona should not exist

    But its true to life for over 10 years. We cant simply eliminate corners we dont like.

    Even though I’ve never driven around Sebring in a sim, it is a good circuit which should be added

    True, but my question is how many will drive the layout in cars which drove around that layout?

    Or the 1994 layout of Spa. It is a real layout, but NOBODY would drive that layout.

    This video shows exactly that. No Sebring or bumpy Sebring, no flat Sebring

    That'd be fun in a Touring car...

    But not as fun as having the original version with the hairpin past the checkpoint at Eau Rouge and another at Stavelot... Which is conveniently modelled already for us ;)

    Road America in AMS2 have some nice 3 bumps in the road, just take that and add all over the track :D.

    You can see it in this video with the stig doing power slides, look for the little shake as the catch comes and the grip returns.

    Sorry to beat the dead horse but youtube has started throwing caterham videos at me now! :p

    This one shows first a lovely example of the kit car shake at slow speeds then a full rev standing start without the insane wiggle. That and the awesome sound :)

    Honestly, in my opinion, for an amateur, there isn't a car that is as much fun or as forgiving as these.

    Personally I've always considered the 620R, the Death Rocket.

    Pcars2 version of Suzuka... :rolleyes:
    I still don't know why they did that.

    They did a fairly good job with Cleveland and I remember a lot of reviewers comparing it to Sebring. For a flat, hard to reference "historical" track, Cleveland feels properly sketchy.

    I suppose if one were used to driving a car that has a lot of advanced electronics in it then driving one would come as a shock, but the height/stiffness of the ride and being sat, essentially, right on top of the driven wheels means that it feels far more manageable than you'd expect. Yeah, you can break grip easily, but you can catch it easily and know exactly what the car is doing because it is raw and rattley... Man and machine as one and all that jazz. :p

    Sakitto sucks, i still dont know why they SMS didnt do it like Reiza, Kansai is very good, just could need a bit more trackside objects. Am i wrong or does it feel like Helicopters etc have been toned down in the game?
