the xbox 360 controller ROXXXXORS! probably the best RM145 i've spent
Lol, I use keyboard, and now want to challenge that M3 grip king.
Some tips that I use when playing this game
- Short on money? replay races where it's easy and collect money there. There is no rush to go to the next race with a shitty car. I replayed the first few races over and over and over so that I had enough money to buy myself a decent car and upgrades.
- Grip racing needs a well balanced car. A fast car might have more top end, but is heavier and will struggle to stop in time. A slower car meanwhile will lose out on the straight. Go for cars that fall in the middle of this category for grip. The pagani Zonda, while does not have the fastest straight line, is nimble in the corners, and have a high exit speed, thus you CAN outdrag a faster car after a slow hairpin.
- For Drag, go for muscle car. Nuff said
- Don't trust the racing line help. Turn it off and learn the track by yourself. You'd be suprise on how fast you can go without it.
- Light car are good for drifting. It can change direction quickly. Also set it up so that it will not have snap oversteer.
One thing that bothers me is that the slipstreaming effect is not well simulated. While in rFactor or GTR2 or Live for Speed, if I have even a sniff of the slipstream of the car ahead, I will be quickly pulled by it, in ProStreet, it seems like it's fully absent. in real life, If you are behind a car that is using NOS, chances are you can match it's speed because the car in front is suffering from wind drag and you are being toed by him.
