While you intellectual types were waxing philosophical about the Blackwood Guru and all hidden meanings of his eloquent message, the answer to his riddle is really an F1 car!!!
Well... with a render of the BMW - Sauber F1 car now on LFS.net... I think that is a pretty good indication that we will get an F1 car. If not with this patch than maybe in a later one or with S3. Of course, I could be wrong...
All this teasing reminded me of the pre S2 shots, http://www.liveforspeed.net/pa ... s/screenshots/17_3_21.jpg.
I rember there being a big riot back then too People check every other screenshot for clue's etc. I think the dev's just have a cruel sence of revenge for all us complaining and moaning
Big ups to the dev's for getting a bunch of sim geeks all worked up
With the teaser pics of the fogged Blackwood and the BMW F1, I can imagine the Blackwood Forest Guru sitting back on his favorite stump listening to this...
Hell yeah, we should hear the cars from the other side of the track! I could hear Lotus F1 cars on the test track and thats at least 3 miles away as the crow flies.
You won't believe how loud that BRM V16 is IRL. When your close to it it's not that much louder than any other competition engine, but from a distance it's just penetrates through the trees. The only other car that I think I've heard to compare to it is an Austin 7 Twin Cam special (same Shesley meeting) which revved to 10000 rpm on a pre-war engine! It sounded even more deafining, you'd never have guessed an Autin 7 could sound louder than a field of Thourghbred GP cars
Trust me I do - I've had a Lancia D50 and a Volpini revving around my house before (and the surrounding countryside). The D50 isn't actually that loud, but it's perfect in tone. The Volipini (basically Fford of the 50's I think, but don't quote me on that) is so tremendously loud you wouldn't beleive. Much louder than a modern F1 car. MUCH louder. You don't need a rolling road to tell you it's knocking you just wait til your brain is compressed between two ear drums.
I've yet to be woken up by one at 8am, so I'll take your word for it. But I don't recommend any of the above as an unexpected alarm clock 15 ft from your head (okay, through a wall, but it's loud trust me!)
