Which racing style do you prefer ? Tbh, I kind of preferred the arcade racing style in previous games. I can't drive very well in newer GTA games, especially in GTA IV. For some reason, I drive better even in driving simulators that in that game. I constantly crash into anything and everything. The fact that they made it a little easier in GTA V is definitely a good thing.
The realistic handling makes it fun to drive the different vehicles because it involves the element of skill to actually drive them properly.
