I got it this morning, loaded it up etc.
Chose to go straight into career. Saw that disturbing video of the crash. I only got offered one test Drive at the start but thankfully it was at an easy Brands Hatch course. Well, beat the test drive time by 18 seconds. Started up the race, and oh my God. Every car is faster than me. One little skid and you go down to last place with no chance of getting anywhere near the points. Really annoyed, so spend the entire second race driving around the track in reverse crashing into the cars and making them all boogered. Eventually retire after my car can only go in a straight line at 18 mph. Play through Silverstone, start 3rd so decide to play sensibly. The sun is so bright I can't see the track and within 12 seconds I'm 14th with all the other cars at the other side of the track. Really utterly annoyed so i decide to go on a violent rampage in this race. This results in me being 6th at the end of he first lap with little cars in sight behind or in front of me. At last a point. By the end of the 3rd lap I'm 1st. I finish in this position but realise that the bloody game hadn't told me it was a mandatory pit stop race and I come 14th again. Put everything into the last 2 races and coe 7th then 14th. Finish 13th overall in the championship. Break down and cry.
At this point in time I hate the game.
I just started a new championship thing with Alfa Romeo in an all Alfa season. It's good now as all cars are even yet the top 5 still seem to get miles ahead of everyone else. I'm on the third race of that now, I finished 5th and 6th and it's getting much more enjoyable.
View: Starts rubbish, but picks up later.
Score so far: 6/10 - A bit too tough and frustrating to be truly enjoyable.

Sorry to rub it in Asher mate, but you ain't so hot at this game, are you? :P Practice makes etc...
I was driving fine, the other cars are twice as fast as me.
Anyhow, the Alfa tournie is more fun because all cars are equal.

Admmittedly, they do seem to get much better starts than me, but during the race, they take the corners really slow and don't catch up on the straights, so they can't be any faster.
P.S. If you was driving fine, you would have beaten the time laid down for Brands Hatch by a much bigger margin than that. :P

This game is way too easy for me, not braggin at all!!!
Normally i need to race the track a few times to get to know it. But in toca a can just start on a brand new track, not know what corners are comin up and win the race just buy followin the lead cars till last lap and over takin near end.
Ok it doesn't happen every time but, i won my first ever season!! with no test drives or anything.
Also another bad piont i rasied in Toca - Where's the story.
I havn't seen 1 story clip in 3 seasons.
Glad i bought it from game cos it's probably gonna go back, before 10 days are up.

Well i got it as well (Cheers SR) and i've done four races so far.
I've come 2nd,4th,5th,7th.
In my view this game is just right, not to easy but not too hard.
And Oasismark you say this about every game you play.

Well i don't class myself as an expert gamer or anything like that, i just really want a challange when i play a game, i find myself slowing down for a tussle with other cars if i'm in lead.
I'm just thinking back to one of the best racing games ever that was grand prix in the pc by geoff crammond, you really had to work to win, now on all racing games, just out brake all the cars on the corners.
when a slow corner is coming up, cut down the inside, slam brakes on late, and barge other cars out of way and use them to get round the corner.
You can move up 3 or 4 places. easy!

I think the difficulty is just right, can be tough in some seasons though and test drive in the Subaru is tough, excellent game though, can't wait to play again !
