Do they still drive around on rails and smash into you as if you're not there? The last Gran Turismo game I played was gt3.

Pretty much yes

Quote from Boris Lozac :

...There's nothing like good online race...

Theoretically that's right, but in practice you don't find proper racers. Maybe in iRacing thanks to their points and penalty systems, but the game itself sucks.

Quote from sinbad :

...for whatever reason...

It actually depends on the reason. If the problem is how people play, there is not much they can do...

I'm not against multiplayer, and I hope the game comes with a proper code and online system, but I lost hope in peoples attitude online long time ago, not only in racing sims but any kind of game.

Quote from sinbad :

...AI is there for when there is no online racing available, or worth bothering with...

Don't be so sure, I personally play alone 85% of the times, 10% against AI and 5% online. In generally I don't like people's attitude when gaming, is hard ro find a proper racer, so I rather play against the AI. I know we' re a minority though, but we can't be ignored.

Quote from tristancliffe :

It looks so... Generic and dull.

Totally agree, just like most kit cars.
If you want to do it properly, get the package of the car in a 3D software. The first thing you should think is the concept, that will give you a direction and will make your car different from the others. Then start working proportions of the car, which is the key of every design and forget about details. At the same time, think about what kind of surface treatment you want for your car. Once you have this, 50% of the job is done, you can then start to think about details (headlights shape and stuff like that).
Is very important to not go with the first idea that you sketch, try as many different options as you can and always ask for people (who understand about automotive design if possible) about their opinion.
I don't know what resources you have to build this car, but don't think is an easy job. People usually think that designers job is just to sketch some cool images and the job is done, but it couldn't be more different than that.
One thing you should know: There are not beautiful or ugly cars, that's subjetive and no one cares if you like a car or not, but there are good and bad designs, which is not subjetive. I can like a car that I don't consider good looking as long as it's been designed properly. I might sound difficult to understand, but believe me, it is like that.

Put petrol in my car today, at £1.40 /L it's quite a investment

Tell me about it (€2.076 / L)

My favourite comments that I have found on different sites:

Quote :

It's not meant to be 'beautiful'. It's supposed to look savage, brutal. To have a rear wing large enough for a jet plane to land on, masses of sharp edges that could slice steel and to look heroically hedonistic. It's a huge middle finger. I love it.

Quote :

IT'S A LAMBORGHINI. Oh my God. They don't want it to be simple, they don't want it to keep you somewhat unnoticed. They want everyone to see you say holy shit he's rich as hell.

McLaren - We've improved our aerodynamics to make the world's best supercar
Ferrari - We've used our F1 experience to give the F70 KERS and other electronic assistance
Porsche - We've made the perfect balance between internal combustion and electric motors
Lamborghini - We've put fins & shit on there - and it looks awesome!
The Lamborghini Veneno - "Because **** you, that's why"

I am only interested in 3 or 4 cars in that list.... I know there will be a bunch of cars made by modders, however, how are they gonna control that the handling and overall quality is on pair with the default ones?

You guys still have hopes on this game as a sim? For people that are used to play NFS, Burnout, TDU and other random arcadish games, a sim is a game which is a bit more difficult, you have to brake in some corners, the car breaks down, crashing everywhere slows you down and instead of taking a hairpin at 200km/h you can do it at 180. That's what these people call a "sim", and this what it is. For a hardcore simracer this is still an arcadish game. It might be fun, but is not in the same league., so I wouldn't expect anything from the physics.

Quote :

I've tended to drive all sims as if they were a bit more real. I'm slowe....but I get more satisfaction from it. I also don't use unrealistic setups any more, even if I know they're quicker....

This is the way. That's what I've been doing for the beggining of the times, and that's why I don't give a shit about leagues,hotlapping and stuff. I do race and hotlap but I never compare myself with people who play with gamepads, aids on and unrealistic setups, I'm here for the pure satisfaction of driving.

All they need to do is include most of the Japanese cars that I enjoy in GT5 plus the green hell and I will order 3 monitors and a new PC just for this game :bananalla

They all should quite

I will definitely play this sim, looking forwards for it, but graphics are just ok for todays standards, nothing impressive. What amazes me instead is the fact that Italians are being able to make such a nice job, I'm not used to in my everydays life in Italy

Honda Integra Type R DC2
Honda NSX-R
Honda S2000
Mugen RR
Nissan GTR V-Spec
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI TM Edition
Mazda RX7 Spirit R
Suzuki Cappuccino

I don't need more. Fortunately my favorite cars are not overpriced exotics, most of the ones in the list are kinda affordable, is just a matter of time

I don't own it, but I use it everyday. Best FWD I've ever driven

Quote from Timo1992 :

Is there any difference to the Subaru BRZ in weight or handling?

I read in a magazine that the suspension setup is slightly different, the GT86 being more tail happy and drift friendly while the BRZ seems to be more serious and track focused

Quote from The Very End :

Strange that nobody else that us have news about it?...

It's called media, and it's rubbish. Someone wants people in Norway get a bad impression of Sweden so that's what they show on TV, that's it

So a dish of fries with a couple of meatballs...

Quote from Myffe :

Wait wait WHAT there is 24h karting races!?

Yeah it's been an awesome experience, and it won't be the last one we race on

I just arrived from my first real karting race. We made a new team, we're just starting, and we did quite well in the 24h endurance race in Gran Canaria.
We are not professionals, but it might be the beginning

"Andiamo a mangiare!!!"

which in Italian means: Let's go to eat.

Acronis yet again didn't work. Does Drive Clone Pro let me schedule it automatically?

Yes schedule is available

Buy one and download the other ones
I am myself a big fan of the Hitman series. Haven't played it yet, but a friend of mine says is the best game he's played in ages. Of course forget about it if you prefer frenetic action, this is more like a stealth game where you have to use a minimum % of your brain.
