Does anyone else still have a drift-type throttle response, as in upon sudden strong acceleration have the car go into a silent but very obvious sideways moment?
I still have this issue since game launch and it makes corner exits a very unpredictable gamble, sometimes sticking to the road and other times completely losing traction that can't even be corrected by short shifting one, two and sometimes even three gears!!! I can never tell where the edge of grip is with this game. I'm all too often snaking out of corners, and instead of controlling the slides though throttle and steering balancing (that normally results in tank-slapping) I have to back off way more than I'd like and just wait for the car to sort itself out and regain grip again. I ain't racing the track, I'm chasing the car instead. Even adding traction control doesn't fix the issue as the high setting completely kills off acceleration in an overkill manner, and the lower settings still allow extreme wheel-spin / drift mode.
I check RD forums every day in hope of news that a patch has arrived that fixes the handling, but it seems not to be arriving anytime soon if at all.
Codemasters, please address the vague-ass handling model and also improve the sounds so when the tyres are losing traction we can hear it, which will be more evident nowadays than ever before with the quiet engines.
