I played for the first time, last night, for about three hours and it was okay. I don't think I had my setting correct, but got out of that M3 finally. I have to say I couldn't wait to get my SS, so I bought it through the store. I tried my hand at the 'Ring and that was just bad news. I'm just not jiving with the controls that well, but I think it'll help once I get a little more "seat"-time. I can't wait to unlock more cars and other goodies
