i cant give you an anwser to this
it could be a lot of things
ont he aston thing i can say , its easyer driving-setup whise , but with a bit of effort the other cars can match this.
what i can tell is im over 4years driving sim now on a nearly daily basis ex-gtr2,gp4
since i bought G25 (standard cheap wheels 280°,G25 900°,i use 720° btw)
things really start moving forward.
when Race07 came out i was stunned by the realistic Forcefeedback feeling i had with the car. it just felt right , not so in gtr2
from that moment on i have a computer for just one purpose, racing
what is hard on simulation racing , is getting inside your car, you are easely distracted because its not real. but when i done a race , and it was a good one.
my hard is really pounding , and i got a lot a adrenaline. it is really a relieve for me
for me sim racing is what i can't afford in real life.
or not yet lets say. (lotus elise i wanna buy once, or somthin like that)
i have a short karting history , owned a promotion-trophy 2-stroke kart(komet k55 engine), but never got into competition because of financial problems
(drive a 2-stroke 125cc once in your life IT KICKS ASS)
i always wanted to be a racedriver.
im lucky simracing finaly starting to nearly-match the real thing , next step i-racing??
maybe the next question ,
what about i-racing ? i heard pro-respect-full-race starts every 5-min.
if u go outside the bude on race-evo (non-password)
it really is bowling
to make a long conversation short
be real , think real ,improve yourself in setup knowlege
and have the right gear
hope this helps your quest getting faster
