I got a second session. Apparently the normal Soltice just lets you adjust
some parameters, otherwise it's still a pathetically slow car. While
watching my friend do an online race, and viewing the "carnage", the
Soltice would be classified as oversteery, based on the definition that
oversteer is when the car goes off track facing backwards (understeer is
when it goes off track facing forwards).

Regardless of the handling issue, it's a gutless, low grip, boring car for me.

The Radical was a fun car, and the only car in the demo that I liked.

I load of pain and money and all you get is a sim little better some of the
rFactor mods but with a whole load of restriction on usage.
