i'll have a bash tonight and see how i go.

ABS off as well?

Yes ABS off too, absolutely no assists

Yeah, I'll take ya all on. I need more practice though, havent played it much.

We should have a SAU race in the full game on Live when it finally comes out.

Sounds like a great idea.

Ill post my exact times up in a few hours

i got like a minute flat in the ferrari no aids or driving line. that was on my final lap of the first race. then i got bored and did something else.

i'm keen for a race though when the game is out next month.

Well i'm already well into the real game, not the demo... but you get that!

Although i only spent the arvo on Sunday playing it.

Pretty good overall, some of the additional stuff is awesome, not just the racing itself. You'll see what i mean when you play it.

But there are some really annoying things that it requires, i hope they are features that open up later, otherwise endurance races are going to be absolute heartache to complete :D

How did u get the full game so early?

Ye pretty good.

As with most of them, you can customise the set-ups end to end.

Engine swaps are a good thing as well. But then you need to spend ages getting the car setup right due to the big change in weight/power etc :)

  • 2 weeks later...

Ive got the full version and am up to level 35 after about 40 hours play time. Damn its going to take some time to complete this game.

Yeah its one awesome game.....

Love to get the steering wheel.

Love to have 4 xboxes and 4 tv's and connect them all together to play the side views all at the same time

Negatives:

+ Game is too easy (even on hard AI)

+ Not many tracks (and lost of old ones from the first version)

+ Can not stop playing it.

    • I drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box
    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
