    Between the two - PC2 and GTS - I opted for PC2 and think I made the better choice, but * me it's near impossible on a pad. Had to change controller settings like * and eventually put steering assist on just to be able to handle a * car faster than 55mph around a corner/bend. But that seems to have me at a disadvantage of being 2 seconds a lap behind everyone else in qualifying, no matter how hard you push.

    Any tips, and no I am not buying a wheel.

    Tip is don't use soft slick tyres they're bugged. Use the hard slicks they're worth about 2-3 seconds a lap

    Will give it a try.


    Also, anyone else think when loading the game "start your engine" and you press "x" they really missed a trick to not have an engine startup noise there.

    If it still feels too twitchy then you can adjust the steering ratio on each car

    Bought Dirt 4 as it's come down in price a bit. * me, what a game. Takes a bit to get used to the handling and the speed, but gradually getting there. Started the career mode once I got competent enough in free play, starting to ramp up the difficulty settings as I get more confident. Still end up spamming the restart more often than I'd like to be.

    Been playing Dirt 4 and F1 2017 on the laptop, quality games and having a lot of fun on Dirt 4, reminds me of the good old days of Colin McRae rally since Dirt Rally was a * nightmare to play.

    A few Project CARS 2 rallycross vids, got to say they did rallycross pretty well, even compared to Dirt Rally.

    Picked up Gran Turismo for £15.99 on the store.

    Anyone here playing it?

    Only managed to play arcade while the thing downloaded last night will get a good blast at it tonight.

    Spent last night getting used to it with manual gears and assists off.

    Actually booted it up for the first time in months last night.

    Good game, for under twenty quid you'll not go too wrong. Theyve added a lot more since launch, which was needed.

    However it still doesn't feel like a full fledged gran turismo game. Almost a glorified prologue.

    Shame that it will likely mean we aren't seeing a proper GT this console, and hopefully when they do return with gt7 it is more in line with single player mode than what this one is - which was always geared towards esports and online.
