I am pumped. Dan has been called up to test the RBR at Silverstone. Lets hope he can seal the deal and we see another Aussie in a top seat next year

Joe Saward seems to think its the wrong choice fro RBR and they should be looking at JEV.

Also interesting to see Coughlan has left Wiliams and Pat Symonds has signed up. SO many changes cant be good for Williams but hopefully Symonds can convince Maldanado to bin it and get Bottas in a good spot after a safety car

Anyone keen for the new F1 game to come out? Thought I'd bring it up in the Formula 1 thread because I think its the most likely place to find people who buy/play F1 games ;)

maybe, so long as it was a dedicated computer game not an awful xbox/ ps port

last F1 game I bought was Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix 4

good to hear Disco D. has been given an opportunity as I think he has deserved it so far. Whether RBR see him in the seat next season will be another story.

I'll more than likely buy the new F1 game for PS3 (have bought the last 2 years) but planning to get a decent cockpit setup as well...Playing with the controller isn't much chop

by the GT steering wheel then!

I have the driving force GT Pro. Its pretty good for F1 actually. I think the G27 would be a little wasted (but still good) on F1 games. At the moment I dont have my wheel setup since I moved house and went back to controller. But I cant drive the cars more then 3 laps without crashing lol.

Disco Dan had his test with STR and RBR yesterday clocking 1st and 3rd fastest times with one small off.

The times look pretty good compared to this years race times so a few eyes will be on SebVet today to see how his times look by comparison.

Looks the goods, wonder how much cheaper Kimi he would be....

If I pull the trigger on a cockpit I'd go all out and get the G27

I love my g27 but it's old tech now. The pick of the new units is the Thrustmaster t500. Feeling extra rich add the F1 wheel .

    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
    • Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
