Sounds to me that this "demo" didn't live up to the hype that Sony fans wanted. For all the Forza bashing I've seen on this website I truly hope you Sony fans are right that this does not reflect what GT5 will be like because there will be alot of apologies expected.
But if I remember correctly there was a lot of Forza bashing when the demo came out and the graphics weren't up to Sony fanboy standards. Now that the GT5 sample is out its not a demo. Pretty convenient if you ask me.

I agree with everything you say.

This thread has nothing to do with Forza 3, so please don't try to start flamewars. Reported.

If you want to be able to race easily, not necessarily get the fastest times sub 1.42.00 on a controller i used traction control of 6 for more power,
1) when you are approaching a corner brake to a comfortable speed then turn the car around the corner whilst carrying decent speed and do not accelerate,

when your almost out of the corner you can start accelerating on the throttle gently the more you do this the you sooner you will be able to get on full throttle out of a corner

On A Wheel Controller i suggest on th Logitech G25 switching to Simulation Style as it is 1-1 movement, when i had standard or pro settings the wheel had a lag input/or something that was affecting my handling when i went to simulation settings on the wheel controller i spin out alot less, as my movements are not corrected by the wheel

Hope this Helps
My thoughts on lap times
My Fastest Time is 140.735
A Competitive time is 1.38 and below
An Average Fast Time is 1.44.8
The Fastest time at the moment i saw was 1.36.133

One more thing learn to be patient around corners, until you understand your car,

If you race in manual for a while it will help understand why you spin all the time when you race in Automatic the Computer likes to go to 1st gear in corners, in this gear it is very easy to spin your car,

when you race in manual im sure you will likely stay in 2nd gear in corners,

if you feel that your car is about to lose control immediately switch to 3rd gear, this helps stablize the car, you will lose time, but stay on the track.

I suggest you use manual and go around corners with a gear no higher than 2nd gear to get comfortable with turning immediately switch to third gear to stablize the car untill you actually know what your doing
, Once you learn how to repect the 1st gear the game will become much better for you

To be honest I was a lilttle dissapointed...I mean I guess my hype for the game was way too high...I was like " What? Five years for this?"
I know this was a short demo and of course does not reflect the entire game...but still though... Or maybe it's cause I'm not really used to Racing Sims..

1.42.00 on tuned i suggest you start with the normal car its harder to drive but once you master tuned times will be very quick

Seems like a bad idea releasing GT academy to show the new physic engine as ppl mistaken this as a true demo of GT5 and doesnt seem to have a clue that this is just to show the new driving mechanics of of the game.....=.=

Good ban me again for making an anti sony fanboy comment. This website is a joke. Please moderators ban me for life because I'm done typing opinions here. Anything anti sony gets banned. The Forza threads have nothing to do with GT5 but somehow you fanboys managed to post anti forza pro GT5 comments in EVERY SINGLE ONE. So until I get banned I will be scrolling through every forza thread and reporting every person who types about GT5 in it.

Z spinning in real life just like in GT5 demo.
