I have the same issue with time trial and pit entry.
But the game is so fun to play. Handling is really nice, we can feel the weight of the car and the handling is unique to each car.
Had some good race online, but like every other racing game, there is some dirty drive out there. This clip is the best race I had so far.
Pit strategy is also well done. It's really hard to compute your fuel vs laps remaining while racing. Unlike GTS, you don't have 30 sec before car stop in box and no marker on fuel required to finish.
I won this race by not pitting, half the field stop.

That's it, supercars 1 on Atari ST.
I played online for the first time and experienced that exact same thing on my first race.

Did any one play Bang Bang Racing on PS3/X360 or android its very similar but the physics engine in this game is somthing else I did not expect that you have to put work into it. its not an arcade racer or maybe im just plain ___ at the game

Indeed. And the difference is huge, it feels like you have to tippie toe around certain corners for a couple of laps then you can go without even lifting. Interesting question I guess the comparison could be seen on the time trial leaderboards.

Update coming on the 24th of March. New contact physics, private lobbies, 2 new tracks and one touring car. The choice of touring car is a bit disappointing, could have gone with something instantly recognisable and iconic.

It's very clearly an Audi TCR car though. Like instantly recognizable.

Yep. I did do an exhaustive check of cars over last 30yrs in Europe, Americas, etc. using the 3D model from the game files as reference. Some things are shared between the audi and other touring cars but didn't find a single touring car, other than the audi, with that style of bonnet scoop.

I do agree, to a point. I wasnt sure if it was an Audi or meant to be a Subaru. I dont believe the touring car itself is that recognisable amongst non harcore racing fans like those 90s car. A lot of people who follow only F1 recognise those cars. I could show my mate this Audi and he wouldn't know it was a touring . Long story short I wish they had chose something more iconic lol. lm sure its gonna be great anyway.

Subaru was one of the other closest matches I found too but I'm sure, over time, more variants / eras will be covered. I'm looking forward to maybe an 80s M3 or Sierra Cosworth!

I haven't tied online but it still stutters when I enter the pits in offline races. Annoying that issue is still there but I've been really enjoying this new update. It's been a few weeks since I last played this and it's just been nice to go back to it.

I spent about an hour tonight playing post update. I can't really tell any difference in the handling. I do like the touring car. Thunder Point is a great track. I love that 180 degree sweeping right hand turn. I did notice that right before the finish line is a little hill. I don't think there is any elevation change on any other GP type track. Maybe that is something they will start doing in future tracks.
Speedopolis is a cool tribute to Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Even down to the golf course fairways in the infield and outside the track.

I haven't pitted offline yet but I did try the touring cars and I like it.
The are 2 tracks at least with some slight elevation changes, more like dips rather thana elevation changes. I feel like the physics have definitely changed cant explain how but they immediately felt different, not worse not better. That could maybe be something to do with the grip levels with the rubbering in perhaps. I have found the racing offline to have improved a lot with the new contact physics , put a big smile on my face seeing 6 cars door to door bunched up.I spent about an hour tonight playing post update.

I did a race offline with a pit stop and didn't notice any stuttering.
Is the change in the contact physics where cars maybe don't bounce off each other as much as they did before? I did the Superlights Trophy last night and got myself into trouble a couple of times and had to fight back through the field and it seemed I could go into a corner and rub with the other car instead of bouncing off of it.

Jump back to game this week end to try the new contact physic update and it's a game changer really. The bounce back to the other side of the track is gone, offline and online.
Online, the car behind you seems to more affected by the contact and you can keep going almost unaffected. works really well when the car behind touches the quarter back of your car.
If it's a big divebomb, your car will be affected more but no bounce to the other side of the track and the divebomber will keep his pace and successfully overtake you.
It's still a huge step in the right direction in my opinion and it's enough to bring me back in the online mayhem.

Yes there is a change. You donot bounce off uncontrollably and end up facing the wrong way and race over. It was annoying.
I stopped playing the game because of that ( mates haven't been online for a while) waiting for the update because it was way too hard to win superstar. Its completely sorted now thankfully and I'm working my way through superstar, still not easy but not getting my races totally ruined by contact.

I'm doing something with this game I usually never do and that's trying for trophies except for muscle cars and the rally stuff. I've got Pro Am golds in everything except Modern GP where I've came in 2nd each of the 4 or 5 times I've tried it. There's two things that keep sinking me. First is that last couple of turns on Whistle Valley. I keep pushing to try to keep the speed up for the front stretch and end up crashing. So now I'm behind on points after the first race.
Second is pit stop strategy. With all of the races being 10 laps I've tried pitting at the end of lap 4, end of lap 5, or even trying to go long when the low fuel light comes on and pitting on lap 6. It's rare that I get it right. I've also noticed that if I'm 1st or 2nd and we do pit together, the AI pit crew is faster than mine by just enough to let 2nd pull out ahead of me from the pits or leave their stall quicker than I do. Maybe the crew speed goes up with the difficulty level? Or either they're short filling.
Certain classes I think I might can get Pro gold but that's about as good as I can get.

I think they're all pitting but it's at different times. A little icon pops up next to the name when they pit but trying to notice that AND look at my own fuel level AND try to concentrate on driving gets to be a little too much to keep straight.
