1am PST, even on a Saturday, makes racing extremely hard... i agree with DeadWolfBones about the start time, better to run a race waking up early, than staying up late imo.
i did it last year... woke up at 3am to run my stint for one of the 24 hr races i believe. i know its neigh on impossible to please everyone... but concentration is a factor to be taken into account. sleep = concentration.
i think the center "channel" still needs a bit of work. it just looks too square and semi out of place... i like the vents behind the cockpit... but on a real car, would they really have any effect? and plus, there is nowhere for that air to go when it enters the vents so its just going to build pressure in there and create a bubble on the back of the car
i would have to agree with whoever said that its a calibration problem. i too have the momo racing wheel / pedal set (wish i had a clutch and a gate shifter... but i dont wanna spend 90 bucks). the screen wheel follows my wheel perfectly, and i have turn compensation at 1 and wheel turn set to 270. make sure that when your in the options screen checking all this stuff, that you turn your wheel lock to lock and make sure that it is calibrated via the wheel position indicator thing down at the bottom of the screen. i've had problems with that before.
