A good example of my trouble is that when i 1st got guitar hero 2 for my 360 it was really hard and i couldnt get it but by the 2nd day i kinda got the hang of it and now im playing on hard. But i know these things take some getting used to but i cant help thinkin im just not using the wheel right. I cant realy get the steering down because its allmost too sensitive and using the break pedal is hard because if u floor it u go all over the place and too light sometimes isnt enough. So if anyone has any pointers on how to master the wheel please tell me.

Basicly it just sounds like you dont know how to drive... No offence though.

When playing simulation style racers you have to employ the same techniques you would when racing in real life. Breaking to hard and early will lock your car up and your in for an uncontorlable slide. Tapping the breaks usualy helps to prevent locking up but it also depends on the car. Also if you have turned off ABS and TCS try switching it back on till you get the hang of driving with a wheel.

Forza 2 isnt out in australia till thursday so im keen to give this a propper flogging and to see how driftable the race engine is :)

My advice is to use an AWD (all wheel drive) or FWD car. Using RWD cars like the Mustang takes time to learn so pick something that runs on all 4 wheels. As the guy above said let go of the gas in the corners and don't do anything suddenly... pretend that it's a sexy woman, take your time at each and every corner ;)
