UGH!! I hate NASCAR. EA / Firemonkeys sold out to the worst racing on the planet. Now we have NASCAR emblazoned on the splash screen forever reminding us of dinosaur racing. The weakest parts of the game are the oval track and drag racing. I used to be a NASCAR fan until I became sick of the petty crap that they call racing, WWE for the petrol heads.

F1 has penalties for bashing around your opponents to gain an advantage. Going off track by cutting corners to pass should be penalized by giving the position back, easy to implement. Scraping some paint is ok but spinning out your competitors should be penalized! I would like an on-track stop and go for that infraction, just add a red flag until the penaly is served in both cases.

Winning by 3000 yards is boring, passing the lead car in the last chicane is exciting. I have to sit at the start for 30-60 seconds before starting just to make the last couple of laps meaningful by adding some drama.

The future is in the technology of the real world supercars and hypercars, hybrids and electric. At least its only a couple of weeks until Forza Motorsports 6 arrives, it's still tied to Top Gear so it also has its drawbacks but it's not so annoyingly in-your-face.
