Now this is more like it!
I'm quite into the whole Indycar and Nascar thing. Not particularly watching - more playing having played and loved the old Papyrus releases on the PC to death.
Smooth detailed races around mundane tracks (what you'd expect) but it's still graphically pretty rich. Would love to see this on a high end PC at high resolution but I have got the XBox version which actually looks very decent.
Typical EA presentation with licences from people we are unlikely to have heard much of this game actually starts off quite strangely with a night race one on one against another car. I thought I'd actually got the wrong game initially but this bit is pretty much a tutorial to get you use to the handling of the game. I actually though this bit sucked because I got stuck in a corner and the sodding car doesn't have a reverse gear!! Quickly quit that bit and moved onto a quick race. This is where it starts to come into its own. 20+ chunky cars all with pretty much the same spec running aling what seems like a tight track. Nudging, bumping and tailgating my way through the field was really great fun. Tried the obligatory attempt to cause a huge crash but didn't really succeed. May have to drive the wrong way round the track to do that
This one I can see myself starting with career mode on. If onely they would release the Logiech FF Nascar Wheel over here soon I'd be a very happy person.
