its not really that hard, tho i play gran turismo a LOT so i've got some practice under my belt. but knowing ea's BS bugs, they'll screw up the corkscrew so you have no grip/little grip (no matter what you do to your car).

The game looks really good, no doubt about that. I love the detail of the cars and the tracks. Nice high resolution textures, even though the crowd outside the track is not really good... they could improve it, gives another feeling to the race itself. I hope it plays as good as it looks lol. We'll find out soon...

Oh and Laguna Seca is a great track. Too bad isn't featured on GRID, but I remember racing there in ToCA 2 and ToCA 3 and boy, that was one of my favourite tracks. The Corkscrew is world famous. :D

I hope they've made an intro video like this for every track in the race. :)

There were so many side swipes and crashes in the video. Hope their making progress on the damage models for the cars.

In real life you don't either, so that's fine to me.

Easily my favorite track of all time. Loved it in Gran Turismo and it is even more impressive live.

I guess im the only one who hates this track, every game that has this track, I always spin out, drive weird, lose, can NEVER get down that corkscrew clean, and did I tell I always loose?

Great game btw.

Oh, oh my... hate the track? I think the dimensional rift reopened in the Marianas Trench... we're all going to die!!!!!!!!!
I love the corkscrew... its the first thing I saw when I started watching racing. I've never actually realized how much of a elevation change there is until I saw this video, I don't think that Gran Turismo 4 portrayed it in the same way, seemed like half the drop.
