SBK X has an optional superimposed riding line like MotoGP 09/10, but its rally-esque corner indicator, which gradually turns red as you put off applying the brakes, is more useful. However, if you ease into it on medium simulation with the AI set to amateur, winning an SBK season in the Career mode is still a steep challenge, albeit one that's more achievable for players who don't have real track-day experience.
