*lol* I hate the drifting! But I beat 30 or so last night drifting on the first go-round. That was neat. It's also what I have to go home to tonight. *sigh* I think I like the circuit races myself. Or lap elimination. Sprints are nice, but the laps are more forgiving -- no matter how you do at first, you just have to have that last lap perfect. I guess I'm playing on "medium" mode now, it's what it's set on each time I enter a race.
And I'm with you, PT -- PC all the way. 'Course, that's because I haven't a game console, but it still kicks ass on the puter. I've not tried online yet, I'll try that soon. I hear online races are much more l33t, though. I'm nervous. *lol* And rambling.
Do you use keyboard, joystick, steering wheel? My friend has the wheel, but I've found it's much much easier on the keyboard, which is what I use.
