  You say - "Its not realistic, but hey were are racing on a computer."

   And that's exactly what a sim should be aimed at making you forget. A
good sim will make you beleive your actually driving a car if it's good

  Current factors contributing to arcadyness

  1/ Sticky grass

  2/ Computer controlled pits

  3/ ???????Dodgy physics?????????? (seems way too hard to lock brakes
or break traction under power to me)
