yeah, i figured out how to set the gear ratio's for certain races. basically, i opt for lower output if i'm about to enter into a race with a lot of turns, but with the indianapolis speedway, on the other hand, i opened it up a bit more. it shifts at a higher RPM, but i can kiiiiinda hold my own against those true race cars out there with my ford gt lm race car. brought my position from like 7th to 3rd.
they kinda make you 'grind' a lot, and by grinding i mean, doing races over and over to level up and get more cash - wich is annoying for the higher-level races where you're doing 5 laps.
one of my biggest gripes about this game is the shady AI. i've noticed this and you probably have too, but if you can pass cars near the beginning of the race, you can hold your lead fairly easily, even with sloppy, slowish driving as long as you don't crash. BUT, if you do fall behind for whatever reason, the cars that pass you go into fucking god-mode and they grace every corner and straigh-away with unbelievable precision. and no matter how fast you punch it, and how tight you hit those corners, catching up is damn near futile.
i really enjoy the game, but it's far from perfect.
