Quote from CSF :

For me what made Kimi pre ditching from F1 fun to watch was the speed he could deliver when everything was to his liking.

I think he and Fernando have both gone the same way, they no longer have the blistering speed of their youth, but have a more consistent approach. I couldn't see either of them repeating Monaco 05 qualifying for instance...

^^ Mmmm v10. Alonso's driving style was great then too. Those cars were better too, much more moving around. DRS with them would be interesting.

It will be very interesting to see how consistent Kimi and consistent Fernando match up next season.

Don't see a year Kimi has had a car anywhere near as fast as the 2005 car relative to the rest of the field, and other then the two seasons that followed 2005 I would say the same about Alonso.

2005 blurs reality because the Mclaren was leaps and bounds faster then everything, more so then any RedBull we have seen but had the worst reliability possible, barely ever started from the front due to constantly changing engines and getting penalties and then retiring many races.

Quote from CSF :

Kimi will finish 4th.

Someone knows how fast cars are going to be next year it seems.

I think the Renault will be the engine to have, they have an excellent track record when engine regs change and were definitely the engine to have in 2006 when they changed to V8s, only to lose out when they froze engines and the rest didn't stop developing.

Of course all speculation. but i think the engine package will be more then 50% on what makes the car next year, so even midfielder teams with the best engine will likely be getting a few podiums.

The detail is soo much more.better on gta 5 then gta 4 its insane, traffic is also much more behaved now.

And the cop chase system ia soo much better and more realistic.

Quote from DeKo :

All I would say is, if you're getting this game on PS3, buy it from the PS Store and download it. The noise of my Blu-Ray drive constantly reading is making me go insane.

Not a good idea, buting from the ps store means you will not be able to play untill the day after the release.

Anyone keen to see some 1997 BTCC full 3 hour season review here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzT_ztF_dR0

Got it from racingforme and took me the whole day to upload to Youtube.

Theoretically, and thankfully, if they do smooth the tram lines out, they will remove that chicane.

Baltimore got canned.

The world must say No to poorly thought of chicanes.

This and the baltimore Chicane to me just come out looking like the 1994 chicane on Eau rouge after everyone went crazy after sennas death, it serves no purpose.

Those sound effects.

much more realistic.

Quote from Specht77 :

the creators of test drive have absolutely nothing to do with the physics of this game, it has the engine and physics of SHIFT 2...


and, one more video about this great game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYsPPuFJYe8

Yes they do, it's their game.

If they use a shitty phyisics engine from another game it's still very much their problem as they had a choice on what engine they would use.

Man if GTA had wheel support, game over.

The main aspect of driving i want changed is just the views you drive from the hood cam would be much better if it stayed still.

Quote from sinbad :

You think the s.a map was only 3km across?

Ruler it up and its around 3 and half which would make true to the claim of 36 square kms.

I think this replicates the truth best: http://i3.minus.com/ibxSxKT9m7OCdE.png

Its the similar scale to what jack posted with the three maps but it puts SA closer to Los santos so you can see the difference better.

Quote from ACCAkut :

nah, thats not scaled right, the maps from RR, SA and IV are way too small. Just compare the sizes of the airport runways. The map is big, but not that big.


edit: the reddit guys corrected the map overlay thingy

http://i.imgur.com/NF7hAZB.jpg

That somehow assumes that all the airports must be the same size.

Liberty cities airport in GTA 4 from my knowledge was much bigger then any airport in San Andreas for example.

Quote from Storm_Cloud :

Kimi will get blown away if he joins Alonso at Ferrari. Falling off boats drunk may be sufficient to make everyone apparently love him, but it doesn't make the car go quicker and if I had to pick a driver that Kimi was most similar to then it would be Nick Heidfeld, albeit Kimi's a smidgen faster.

Nick couldn't even last more then the half a season at same team before being sacked, kimi on the other hand is treated like a god at Lotus.

If Kimi goes to Ferrari, it will answer alot of questions.

I expect Alonso to be better but I think Kimi could keep the score tight between them, unless they got the fastest car its not a good idea for the drivers championship.

Serves them right.

Alot of Drivers in F1 do what alice did(perez especially) and i don't like it, its video game defending without taking account of what can happen if someone is still there.

It was aviodable though but judging from tristan line into the corner it could of easily remianed two wide through there.

That was clearly on purpose.

Quote from Bose321 :

PCars isn't that bad. It's a shame they didn't learn from the physics fail that's called tdu2...

Tdu 2 was a joke on steroids.

Bought this game awhile back off the PS Store, got about 3 races in and quit. The creators of test drive have no idea how to make decent physics.

I wasnt asking for iracing but atleast some feel would of been great.

DTM is just a low Cost GT series with Sprint rounds, WTCC is still far from that.

Hope Hulkenburg gets Massa's seat, it's time for the next generation.
