Tip on the Tokyo Reverse: Ferrari F2007 with full downforce!

July 9th, 2012 at 11:23 pm - #Amac500
Past them all pretty quick, except or the Nürburgring one. It’s no problem driving it, but I’m stuck on a controller and not a wheel so stepping out to try to make an over take on track that it’s probably fair to say has limited passing zones. I don’t want to turn up the assists though…. It’s fine, I’m always one for a good challenge and I hope to see a Expert level Le Mans event next!

I think this event was a good challenge. Especially around Tokyo and the ring. Can’t remember how many times I spun out lol.
-
July 9th, 2012 at 11:27 pm - #Amac500
I didn’t spin out at Tokyo, but lets just say the car wasn’t too pretty at the end, lol. Indy was easiest for me, then Tokyo (the hard part there was it felt awkward going backwards to me, lol), then Rome, then Eifel, and finally the Nürburgring.

Haha on Tokyo I spun out on the last lap on the second to last corner in one attempt. Free money though, I’ll take that for what its worth.

Gran turismo The Real driving simulator–Nordschleife with a F1 car– what an epic fail
-
July 9th, 2012 at 11:22 am - #mercedesgpf1
Audi, before, in 1970 (I think, don’t know if 1970) There were races with the F1 in that circuit.
-
July 9th, 2012 at 7:23 pm - #moxlox
Errrr, Audi, the Nordschliefe was an F1 track up until 1977. They stopped using it after Niki Lauda’s fiery crash.
Also in recent years (about 2008) they ran Nick Heidfeld in an F1 BMW-Sauber on it, after which Heidfeld duly stated it was awesome.
Now we have a simulator that let’s us simulate something that is too dangerous to do in real life. So why complain?! Incomprehensible.

Wow guys the ‘Ring in this event is a credit machine, 3.5 million at 780pp with the 200% online and performance difference bonus. Still finished 15 seconds ahead of the AI, too.

July 8th, 2012 at 2:54 am - #FormulaKimball
755pp, 4.2 million, just beat the AI by 0.7 with two 7:00 laps. That’s as much as I can get from it tonight :)

So here I am, catching up on F1 qualifying and curious about what it takes to buy the F1 car in GT5 and I come across this article on GT Planet. I scroll down to the comments and bam, your lovely, serendipitous addition to this news article is first on the list. Thanks for spoiling the result for me. I am currently watching the red flag and Q2, and am quite curious to see how and in how long Alonso goes on to take pole.
It suffices to say that I greatly appreciate your two cents on this article. G’day!

Just wait til you see Weber overtake Alonso on the out side for the win, what a pass, you’ll love it when you see it Shunny

Sadly but true – It’s all Monster Business, that’s why GT series is like a Showroom for Cars, It’s not a bad Race Game, but it will never be a whole real life experience, with F1 DtM Nascar Rally Drifting – Because it will always Miss out some Cars or some Tracks, to simulate a Whole Season.. ( This is not meant in a bad way )
But that’s why, if you like to Race with the Series Like in this week, F1- at Silverstone, you’ll need other Race Games in your Box, The PD F1 Game is Cheap and it’s a Great Formula Race Game, but of course out dated in Tracks and car Models, but at least i gives you a great Race experience in F1.
Codemasters Formula Games are not Bad at all, even that lots of GT-Drivers here would say it is ( But that’s another reason, not a very clever one But a reason!! )
We Don’t need a GT6 – We need more Tracks for GT5, because it would only end up like with GT5 – a Half real life Race Experience, which is missing out Great Cars and Tracks, all because of the business side of things, and even PD has to work around that, like it or not – Ex: No Porshe cars ( Rumored to come K.Y) – No Koeniqsegg ( even though they almost would give a High Poly 3D Model for free, But other deals are in the way) – No all Team F1 cars ( To expensive) – No Real Rally Tracks, ETC ..
More authentic Race Tracks, to complete a whole season lay-out could be fun to have in GT5..
I don’t No Guys, it is what it is – we got what PD/K.Y gives us – :o)-
July 9th, 2012 at 11:44 pm - #Amac500
It’s because licensing all these is stupid expensive and you need a massive, massive staff to code it all. I mean unless you want to see 20 years between releases. It also would mean less attention to details in the graphics and physics. PD’s staff isn’t huge and the budget to license all of that under 1 title would be absurd. That’s why it’s the best all around driving simulator, it has a little of everything. Everything in one title would be an outrageously low return in money. They would loose money on the outcome because by they time they pay for licensing and all those tracks and everything and get their $60 per pop it would not pan out for them. That’s why we don have F1, the money is WAY WAY WAY to much, that’s why F1 didn’t have a game for so long, it was way to much to put it in one racing title, let alone into a multi-league game. Codemasters now has them and it’s the only racing game they have now. And you want them to get licenses to F1 AND all the other series there are AND all their cars AND all their tracks. WAY WAY WAY to much money, an absolute and total economic nightmare!

I Hear you M8 :o) –
But I really don’t understand How people have so much knowledge about How PD’s works, and how big the company is, and how many workers there is. .. It’s funny to read sometimes.. You know I’m a 3D ARtist working with HQ stuff, and we have coders doing some nasty shite, It’s really not that time consuming to Port/convert tracks, a script Code can almost do it be it self , and PD is a very HQ business, so they will do the same..
But maybe the licences for the old tracks has run out, and therefore we can’t have them, and if that’s the case, I understand, but they could be a little more wordy about it, so we don’t Dish and complain for no reason, i think people here would understand much better if we have some more details about Why.. You could be right, But i’m sorry, you are not more then me
in these matters, meaning someone that thinks this is why.. And further more, GT series is a money machine ?It’s cool to have these mature talks about it, instead of eating each other, just because of harsh questions coming up, because words like ignorant’ss and stupidy kills the listing and learning process of things, and again we the Drivers hasn’t got the knowledge into deep about PD and Sony business and thoughts and future developing , we can only assume things, and put 1 – 2 together, in the past there has been lots of delays and disappointing regarding GT5 and PS3, and i guess that is makes it harder to believe things..
Peace brother :o)

I want to buy one of the Ferrari F1 cars but i’m not sure which one to choose. I was planing on getting the F12010 because it’s cheaper and in my opinion, better looking. So can someone tell me which is the better buy in terms of grip and handling. I have 15,244,724cr. to spare.
-
July 7th, 2012 at 9:00 am - #gamerdog6482
F10 is better at handling but F2007 has a better top speed. Also keep in mind the F10 can’t run full power full downforce for this seasonal, it will exceed the PP limit.
-
July 7th, 2012 at 12:33 pm - #carfanatic45
What if we were aloud to create tracks(not in create a track mode) but on a sheet of paper, computer, scalextrics, ect. Then we submit our designs to PD and he can choose his favorites. It may take centuries to get them in the game but at least we get our own homemade tracks.

It really doesn’t matter since the A.I will choose the one that you have. To be hinest, this is the first time I drive the F1 cars since I got the game a couple of years ago. the last time was in GT5 Prologue. I just finished the Seasonals and used the F10. I was preparing myself to be crushed, but to my surprise the car is extremely forgiving and predictive. You’ll find yourself pushing the car to it’s limits in every turn without any signs of loosing control. And that with everything off including ABS.
I have to say I’m very impressed with these F1 cars. It was much more fun than I expected. Except for the Nurburgring and Tokio…

The only prize you get for this (considering you need at least a 10 000 000 cr investment for the cheapest F1) is a SP1… I’m sorry… But I already had 4 of those… And the ticket isn’t tradable… I mean WTF I was at least expecting a level 24 ticket or even a 30…
I mean sometimes I think the GT5 designers want to lose costumers by passing them off… So No one will buy GT6 (I know that thatcwill never happen… But bear with me here…) first they don’t let you trade cars over 1 million cr… Then they limt what tickets are tradable and those who aren’t… Then they limit the tradable tickets to cars of 10 000 000 cr… They they put the login = more expensive and winnings… So if you skip a day because your out of town… You lose 30%… Oh and let’s not forget that at the same time they doubled the prices of the standard cars and cut the earnings in half… And now any new DLC that comes out seems even more pointless then the last… Going in that “let me take your money” attitude they’ve developed with GT5… And example you say? Why the last DLC, let’s think a little… Not so long ago the montegi track was on GT4… And it was free…. Not to mention cooler because of the sunset…
Now those are the facts… I’m not trying to give my point of view, I’m just trying to be realistic… You may agree, or you may disagree… It’s your choice… But they’re still facts…

First of all, there are no cars that are level 30, second of all, I got two F10′s FREE from the 24 tickets you get. So you don’t have to pay 10,000,000 for it and you get a free SP1. On top of all this, you get to use said free F1′s in five events on very fun coarses. Some people just need to stop posting things.
“Oh and let’s not forget that at the same time they doubled the prices of the standard cars and cut the earnings in half” They INCREASED the earnings, not halfed them! You just need to go away and stay there. You say that your opinion of Motegi is a fact? You, Sir, are a VERY distorted person. -

As per your question see this news item posted last week:-
Incase you dont want to goto the location heres what it says :-
“While speaking with Elmundo, he also shared information about Polyphony Digital’s attempts to create an officially-licensed Formula 1 game:
“[...] we were interested to create a game with the Formula 1 license but had to withdraw. That industry is a monster, so big that any agreement you want to get forces you to make a financial outlay that we can not afford.””
As we know Bernie Ecclestone is the chap that owns the rights to the F1 cars all axcept by some special arrangement Ferrari.
So judging by just enquiring about an officially liscensed F1 game costing a damn lot of money, so thinking that we might get some F1 cars as DLC well to be honest my answer is NO. maybe the 2011 Ferrari F1 or 2012 but anything like a Mclaren, Redbull, Force Indai or Mercedes….. etc etc just aint gonna happen. -
July 7th, 2012 at 4:45 am - #rallymorten
@ Hentis.
Yes, Bernie owns Formula 1, but I wonder if the constructors can’t go around him with this. I mean, Ferrari did to an extend, and seeing as we already have McLaren and Mercedes road cars (and PD seems to be good friends with Red Bull), maybe they can just provide some older F1′s (e.g. 2010 season like Ferrari).
OR PD can do like they did with Polyphony001 and 002 and all the other F1′s from GT3: Just make a mixup of different cars but still make it somewhat clear which ones they’re meant look like. In that case they don’t need F1 license as they’re basically fictive.
-
July 7th, 2012 at 7:05 am - #Hentis
@rallymorten
Bernie apparently holds the rights to the design of the F1 cars that the teams make. Ferrari F1 cars for some strange reason are all owned by Ferrari and not Bernie Ecclestone. Its all in the news on here about a year ago. SO probably not that Mclaren / Mercedes or Redbull will give earlier designs for PD. If you search the news its in an interview that Kazonouri did about about a year ago.

@ Hentis
That just gave me another reason to love the Formula GT and the F1′s in GT3.
I understand it if Bernie doesn’t want the F1 in GT (though I honestly don’t see why). What I don’t quite understand is why he has the rights to cars other manufacturers create (unless that has something to do with TV licensing etc.)
But again, if we can only make PD mix different F1 cars into one car or make new ones that to an extend look like real cars, nobody theoretically would be able to say something. There’s tons of games out there with open wheel cars that look like F1s without being.
