They're upgrading the servers December 1st because it's a bit meh right now.
It will be faster, smoother and able to hold 1million people, rather than the 500,000 it can now.

JasonMurray, the wheel will take a little while to get used to. A few sessions of a good few hours each will see you on top of it though... then you'll find it hard to go back to a controller if you don't have to. The advantage of the precision is evident once you go back from the wheel to a controller - particularly in higher-powered vehicles.
Get onto the missus about it!

Heres my first plans from 3 years ago too (havnt started building yet), but will probably change them to be closer to Katos. Originally specced to be easy made without any bending, with maximum adjustability. We based our measurements on a 2004 wrx seat and steering wheel position lol.

Finally played this at a mates house last night.
Just wow!
The opening video is awesome.
Gameplay is wicked!
Smoke actually looks like smoke :-)

Was having a ball but after 20mins of playing western power spoiled the fun and we got a blackout!

After waiting 2hrs for the juice to come back - I left and now am a junkie and need another hit :-p

But wow! What a game!

Ok my appologies now for my lack of judgement and not realising I am coming into a corner too fast.
