Was Evo hard the first time?

[Scott Ellis]

Hi folks, just installed gtr evo, looking forward to rubbing bumpers with yas

 

[Martyn Pearson]

Hi, maybe not the ideal place to ask this, but how big is the gtr-e expansion download from Steam? Thanks in advance.

 

[Hayden Walker]

It took me a while to get used to playing a Racing Sim again, but after that it was pretty easy.

 

[Graydon McKee]

Mine was alright. Believe it or not when I bought the game I actually tried to play it on the keyboard. That lasted all of about 5 minutes before I was back in my car headed for the store to get a steering wheel and pedels... after that I was alright.

I participated in one off-line race before I went online for the first time. For the most part it went alright however I had one really tight corner and ended up knocking a few other cars off the track because I didn't judge it right. (I'm really new to racing.) After that I realized that it just wasn't fair for me to go tearing around without figuring out what I'm doing so I'm trying to get the hang of things before I go back online.

 

[Graydon McKee]

I'd say the easiest cars to use are definitely the open wheel racers and then the Radical cars.

Why do you think their easier? I honestly haven't tried them yet because I figured that they would actually be harder and that I'd need to learn to control the car better before trying them out?

 

[Dave Stephenson]

easy to learn, hard to master!

 

[Graydon McKee]

easy to learn, hard to master!

LOL ! Ah yes - now that makes sense.

 

[Piotrek Blaszczak]

It's easy when you playing GTR or GTR2 and so difrend when you playing Rfactor

I seem to be getting on with it well, I sometimes have problems with putting too much power down on the exit of the corner, especially on nurbergring (the large track, without GP circuit). I have noticed as soon as I loose grip, after I recover the next few corners are really poor

On the flip side when I get it just right (on the odd occasion ) it all fits together.

I found it really hard to get used to, spent too much time getting bogged down with settings - both car and controller sensitivity - almost drove myself nuts, and a few others online I think.... then left the game alone for a few weeks because of frustration. When I came back I decided to use the standard simbin setups and try online ones to see what worked for me, that started to get a bit better.. still much room for improvement. My favourite cars in GTR EVO - Caterham, I might not get the fastest laps or win the races but those controllled point n' squeeze power slides are awesome!
Ben about the poor handling after a spin - tyre temps down, gravel/dust on tyres, flat spots - don't know what GTR simulates but it makes sense somehow...

 

[Ben Everard]

Yes I figured as much I just needed an excuse to remove the blaim from my poor driving

 

[Sebastian Huba]

I had Race07 and rFactor before GTR Evo so it was not hard to me but I must say that GT cars are harder to master than WTCC so I spand more time to drive them before I had good lap times

 

[Klyde Parker]

I loved it right from the start. Over GTR2 the FFB was a VAST improvement in car handling capabilities.

 

[Martin Pretorius]

Wasn't that difficult to get into the game, when migrating from GTR2. The cars are a lot more responsive though like Race 07. I quite enjoy it, driving a high powered sportscar on the Ring is quite something with GTR Evo!

 

[Manuel Abel]

gtr evo is easier compared to gtr2.. or maybe its just me cause i cant keep up with the guys on gtr2

 

[Knut Omdal Tveito]

I've played GTRevo for about a week. The last time I played any game was GT4 some years ago. I started a WTCC championship with a fwd car to learn the tracks. I found out I could jump straight to pro settings. Its the first time I had FFB wheel and I think it took a chunk out of the lap times(tried a little bit with pad while waiting for the wheel, but it wasn't any good). The higher degree of realism helps a lot too, letting me get closer to the cars limit.

 

[Phil123]

I found it pretty easy after playing GTR2 a lot. I always have all the aids switched off but have been a little disappointed by how wooden the touring cars feel compared with GTR2's GT1and2 cars. the Cateram's are great fun with superb balance and an involving feel. They felt very much like a Westfield I drove for real a few years ago (as you would hope!).

[Mailson Pereira]

It was a little diferent from GTR 2 but after few laps. I was goin fast.

 

[Yves Sterckx]

My opinion, it was hard for me in the beginning. I used to play more arcade racers. Now, after two months it is going better and better. The arcade race games are banished. I baught a steering wheel two weeks ago and things are going much much better now. I had a lot of problems with the oversteer of RWD cars. Switched to FWD cars, but now only driving RWD again because I know now how to minimize the oversteer. My racing enthousiasm is bigger when driving RWD.
