Drive down a track and put the brake pedal to the floor. If you are lucky enough NOT hit anything, immediately go check your tire wear by hitting the F5 key. You'll notice that even though you just got on the track, the forced brake lockup and slide has cost you to a good portion of your tire tread. Enhancements Papyrus has incorporated an animated pit crew, which is a nice touch. Other nice touches are coordinated onscreen wheel movement as you move your steering wheel controller in the cockpit view and the ability to get black flagged by merging onto the track incorrectly.
Drivers can also get black flags for losing fluids, reckless driving, and improper passes.
Multiplayer Multiplayer is very easy to configure and is very similar to the multiplayer in N3. You can play via modem connections and IP, and direct connect is also available. There are some bugs still lingering in this sim. After spinning on the track and starting over, I've put my car in 1st gear only to have it show 1st gear, only to have the motor rev like I'm in neutral. Another problem is that even after scraping the wall at Martinsville, I was running much faster speeds than I should after contacting the wall.
