This was a bad purchase! The idea was good and there was a lot of hype about it, but the game lacks a lot. Cars 2, if there is one, should fix a lot of the issues, let me explain. When you start the game you have to make choices. There is no information about what effects your choices will have. You have to choose a race class, but there is no information about what types of car(s) would be in that class. Once you start class, you are stuck with that class (as opposed to Forza Motorsport where you can change cars and races at will). To do multiple "classes" you have to be different "drivers." The game "claims" that for each race, you can do practice runs and a qualifying run to determine your starting position (without this you start last). Great, because these tracks are new. However, for the thirds race set, the game started with the race and me last place. There was no practice and no qualifying lap. I tried exiting many times and every time I did not get those options. I could find no way to do anything but start the actual race in last place. The "encouragement" from "friends" via these caned "e-mails" was dorky. In summary, when actually racing, the physics seems good, the graphics are good, and it was okay fun (but not very satisfying), however all the necessary peripherals between starting the game and the actual race is absolutely horrible! It is so bad, that after two race sets and the game failing to perform as stated on the third, I took it back at a loss of $30+. The actually racing is okay, so if version 2 can fix all the other quirks, it could be a reasonable game. Don't waste your money! Spend $20 more and get Forza Motorsport 6!
