The game isn't all about endurance races... is it?

No but that is a big part of it I would say. Big bucks, good cars.

its not repetitive because it takes 12 miles before you see that same turn again. obviously its going around the same track 7 times, but you cant possibly memorize that entire track. you can have a good idea of whats coming up next, but you cant know every turn like the back of your hand....if you do, you are playing way too much.


now take laguna seca....25 laps....i know EXACTLY when to hit the brake, gas, turn, etc. on EVERY turn. theres nothing new, its always the same technique. the only thing you can do is try to brake a little later & gas it a little earlier. i can describe the entire track turn by turn without even playing.

nordeschlaffe feels like driving an open country road & not a race track.

i wouldnt say the endurance races are a big part of the game either. its only 7-8 races. yes its big bucks & nice cars, but its not a huge part of the game. you only have to play through them once to get the rewards & then you can race however many laps you want.

It is pretty easy to memorize turns, etc... However I have played over 40 hours so far since I got the game the day it came out in the U.S.

bullshit you memorize every single turn on nordeschlaffe the same way you memorize the turns on a track like the speedway or laguna seca.

you have a really good idea of the turns, but you cant say....turn 6 is going to be a hard left, turn 7 is a quick right, turn 8 is a slight s curve...


nordeschlaffe is like.... ok, this next area of the track is long & twisty, stay on the gas.....now this area is a little slower & i need to brake on a couple of the turns....now this is the area with the downward s curve coming up....

literally every single real track, i know the layout in my head. mugello starts with a long u turn, into a short s curve, then into a small straight, into another s curve, another straight, slight right, slight left, short straight, u turn, etc....u get the idea
