Finished my first season in career, you're lucky getting offered an R1, I've just moved up (cos I won my season) to WSS with a fairly inexperienced team but they've got an R6 so I'm hoping I can win some upgrades for it over the two years of my contract.

Currently on Amateur and Low Simulation but finding things just a touch too easy, as I wrote above I can just go storming past half the pack on some bends, will likely up the ante a bit and see where that gets me. I used to use a weird setup of realism in 08 and 09... still had some of the things like the more powerful brakes on but then would have tire wear and damage and such on. That's one thing I like so much about it, how you can tweak it so it's fun and challenging without being angering.

Also glad the silly challenges and cards are gone, getting some of those was soooo tedious (having to do a race weekend or win a championship with each team) and I think often that was the one achievement people didn't bother trying for.

The R1 was one of the first teams that offered me a contract, had a couple of Ducati teams too. Can't remember my team name but my team mate is Baroni I think.

I've got all sorts of weird settings on - rider health and bike damage, but left tyre wear off - although that will be getting put on very shortly. Try Medium Sim, that'll give you a challenge - I only do well if I get my race spot on - otherwise I'm fighting for points. I probably won't move up to WSS until I've won Superstock - I'm in the mix but had a mare in my last race where I crashed on second to last lap. Possibly a little too far behind to get it - so I'll see if MV give me a ride.

Shame you're on X Box otherwise I'd have a race with you, although I reckon I'm complete pants so you'd probably lap me hahaha. If only more people got it on here, could have a few races with a few people at a time

I'm not great either... I was trying to pass one of the upgrade tests and kept crashing... next thing I knew I crashed so hard I broke the bike and that was it!

Those upgrade tests are a little silly - all you need to do is stay on the track. Even for the speed one. I totally the bike at Assen in the rain during qualifying. Started last but because the AI is so slow in the wet I ended up winning by 5-6 secs. In an earlier race I couldn't finish FP1 because I injured the rider after highsiding it - oops! Did you get the special edition? Foggy's bike turns like a truck!
