This is very odd.

One part of my brain watches as I carefully, carefully drive a car round the same track fifteen times in a row and thinks it’s the most boring thing in the world ever.

Another part of my brain is very happy to carefully, carefully drive a car around the same track fifteen times in a row.

Very strange.

I can now pretty consistently win the race without getting any penalties in the Class C Impreza with the two aids that aren’t ABS turned off. Which is nice, I guess, but it’s not exciting in any way and it doesn’t feel much like driving to me. Okay, so I drive an S40 and the only fast bit of curvy road I ever get to drive down is the A229 between Linton and Staplehurst, but this game doesn’t feel anything like that. It’s either much more sedate (despite the speedometer reading 100 miles per hour) or spinning round and round in gravel.
