Using 900 deg and loving it, works real nice in the tin tops. I do turn down to 540 for the open wheelers, 
dam..sigh
Tx for the answers guyz Thrustmaster could do some profiler per game :/

Not sure how you enjoy that Rupe unless you just prefer really slow steering. One of the developers, Loore, on the Steam forums even stated that optimal setting is around 300 degrees. At 900 degrees, it feel like the car is turning in a wet concrete. Even the cockpit wheel in game is set to somewhere around 300-360 degrees visually.

Ya its a bit weird. Iam from Germany and havent seen american players in the lobbys.
It's region locked.
You can change your region simply by selecting a different download region inside steam

That's great news about the HDD problem. Let's hppe it stays that way. And I hope you got a good little chunk of change for those events. Once they end, you will get an even bigger payout if you did well. And I think you can go back and try to get better in them (I know I have) and it pays you all over again if you get better and you get more when it ends).
But yea, the nighttime race street party was fun. I found those cars to be very tight given what they were, but not beyond the point of making a power-slide the fastest way to get around. In other words, a slide would not kill you if you could correct it, but it was not the fastest way around. I would imagine cars like that should feel like that. I kept playing that one over and over again thinking I was horrible at it, but I think I finally settled at bronze. Night + track unknown is a real challenge for me but great fun still. Paris impressed me in two way. First, as you pointed out, the place seemed seriously alive. I had never had that level of immersion. GRID2 was like that from what I remember, but the cars were so off kilter that I didn't even notice it. Second, when you combine a great handling can AND that atmosphere, it was like the whole place lit up. DIRT has city circuits, but they just aren't the same...the handling is a bit off. Of course, F1 has city circuits, but they are too clinical and the cars don't allow you to enjoy the atmosphere. That probably makes no sense, but F1 seems 2D plus you are so concentrated on the road and your lines that you could be racing anywhere. It seemed with GRID Autosport and the 3D effect, you could just concentrate n driving and really the battle was your main focus, not your performance, although they were certainly related. And when I turned the wheel the car actually responded, unlike GRID2 and DIRT3. Imagine that. Also, the track was not that difficult, which added to the fun. I imagine though the full run could be quite a challenge. And just think, there are 4-5 other cities to explore. I like city racing again!
I'm not sure about the ghosts. Maybe it just defaults to your quickest friend. In any case, I didn't see his rear end very long.
I'll be here all day. I'm going to catch up on some F1 practice and qualifying then get on GRID. If you are able to get on and want to do something at any point today, just let me know. (I wish we could text each other, but I imagine that would be expensive). I'll try to check this forum often. I didn't make the trip I had planned and will be home resting for a while (gaming!) for reasons I'll explain...
Thursday night I was involved in a pretty bad car crash. An 18 year old kid slammed into my rear while I was stopped at a light at about 40 mph, throwing me into the car in front of me, so I got g-forced going both way -- backward into the seat and forwards when I hit the car in front. It was a pretty violent hit. Myself and one other person ended up in the hospital, but luckily they did not find any broken bones (I thought my leg might be broken and my neck hurt) after a few x-rays and a CAT scan of my neck. Of course, that doesn't mean I'm not going to feel the effects later, and, of course, the worst of the soft tissue pain is happening right about now, but it's not bad enough (especially with the Valium and narcotics they gave me) to keep me off the xbox. I just may be stranded at home for a while. My car would make a great racer now since the exhaust has been modified, the rear shortened, and there is a little bit of toe out on the rear tires. But apparently the rear bumper and seats on my 2013 Ford Fiesta really did their job. I bought the car partially because of the Top Gear guys (I never owned a U.S. made car before). So thank you Englishmen for having a show lie that. lol.
I'll be okay. Gives me a new appreciation for what those racers go through when they crash. Granted they have seat belts, but the bruises alone from those suckers is bad enough. No airbags deployed, thank god, because I think it would have just caused me to submarine more and given me a third knock of whiplash.

Jordan:
First off, great to have you here. Look forward to running with you. Take a look at the league R&R's (http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/autosport-touring-car-championship.88911/0) and let me know if you have any comments.
I'm not sure what you mean by "one week, then one week off"? Is this for any potential schedule was could come up with? Thanks.
Hi Robert, that's crap news buddy and I really hope you are not feeling too sore and that there are no bad after effects. Does that mean you are car less now? You take care of yourself ok pal
In just getting on to try to get done more of my stuff shirted out after my HDD crash, need to get F1 2013 back up and running for a start ready for tomorrow.
I'll post more later, take care and catch ya' soon

If you go to the top of this page and select GRID Autosport Club and Leagues it should take you to our league section. There, click the thread
Autosport Touring Car Championship
As for your shifting schedule, are there any days that you can reliably say you have off? Like Sunday or Saturday? Is the business ever closed? Thanks.

Woot tx m8, trying right away
Thanks for the session tonight @Robert Waddell @Railer Cantrell @Chris Hempsall would have stayed for a few more but that wheel was proving awkward, no idea what it was all about.
Definitely need that patch for the mirrors, very difficult keeping an eye out for those charging AI at times. Fun sessions anyway, just need some more time on this game getting more of a feel for the handling.
Starts were great apart from that one disaster lol but struggled with accuracy of steering which is still a bit of an issue.
Cheers again, car one in the garage and now for the next stage

lol. Yea, we stayed for a while. HRH and I even stayed for about 90 mins. after Chris got off. We racked up some serious cash, but lots of it was spent on paying for car repairs and unlocking tuning upgrades. But I think you got a MINI . See how easy that was! @Chris Hempsall actually got a beast of a car in the class that follows MINI. He's a brave man. The Honda in Class1 Endurance (as opposed to the NISSAN) I just could not tame. But he was looking pretty good in it once he unlocked the diff and the downforce. That thing is like driving an F1 car with no aero. lol.
Towards the end, we really were not making much because we wanted to just do some new tracks. Washington was particularly memorable. And you are right, that Autosport infield circuit is a blast! The street circuits really come alive though. I had to go back to Paris in the challenge, and I improved considerably, and also in the open wheel at Red Bull Ring. But you still barely beat me in two of the events.. I think the only one I got you on was in America driving a Mustang. Figures.

The US one I found extremely odd, just couldn't understand the handling of that car and the gears and brakes are awful. What is it with them?
