Crashing still happens in that server, and I think I need a replay or something to report it. Either way its silly to buy an S1 license and then be forced to drive the slowest cars. Not sure what that is all about.
I agree with the guys who are saying "Don't bother selling S1, it only discourages your customers." S2 price is also too high for an online distributed game with very little content. I mean the price is comparable to Gran Turismo, but the game itself clearly is not. Also, I buy Gran Turismo in a box, not through a web site.
I just bought an S1 license. It was a total waste of money. No servers playing except some STCC thing. No interesting cars to drive. Wow, what a waste of money, the demo was more fun I think.
Maybe if I upgrade to S2 I will find more than 2 servers running.
I'm only a demo driver, been going for about a month or so. I've had a lot of racing experience with Gran Turismo. I also understand how a car works pretty well, so I have some setup experience. I use keyboard and mouse at the moment, its not as good as the wheel and pedals I'm sure but I don't have much trouble keeping up.
This is my first ever drift setup for the XR GT Turbo, and I find it very easy going, nice and smooth drifting around the corners. Once you do a couple laps the tires get to a very nice temperature, you'll get some nice smoke for show drifting. I have the car as low as it will go, so you get nice downforce, good traction while your tires are hot on the surface.
Please let me know how it goes for you after you try it.
Edit: Changed the camber a bit, it feels a bit smoother.
