GT5P at the British Motor Show

I went to the Media Day at the British Motor Show yesterday, and there were a few stands running GT5P in assorted forms.

Nissan has a bank of four booths on one side of their stand. This is where the UK GT Academy final will take place on 1 August. I completely forgot to take any pics, but the set-up is similar to the one Sony had at the GT5P launch.

On the Shell stand, they had two booths running GT5P with Audi R8s at Le Mans:


And finally, there was a single booth on the Lotus stand. When I first went past it, the booth was off, but once the firm officially pulled the covers off the new Evora, the booth was on and it had the new car running on it:



And if you think the rear shot looks like a standard Elise, don't worry, the rear of the Evora is similar to the Elise's.

Are these clues to the autumn update? I guess we'll have to wait and see...

DFP's!!! And why the he** are they always running chase cams...

Yeah i was just about to say,are people dumb? Why the chase cam!!

I can understand why they are running chase cam at the Lotus stand, they want to show off their new car.

How about it's interior?

edit:sorry... my mistake..

I love how they've made the PS3 at the Lotus stand look like a V8. Nice idea

V12

(sorry, I'm really bored here at work)

Was at Goodwood festival of speed last week, was hoping to spot some of these there but, no luck.

Le Sarthe is still wothout any AI cars. Nothing changed there in past year and so.

I have suspicion that PD is focusing too much on cars and interiors and they have no time to work on other aspects of the game (online system with private rooms, weather, time changes, still those past-gen tracks and whole game world like trees, meadows beside tracks etc.). It would be nice if they can offer updates with one car per two weeks and one track (even older) per two months, otherwise GT5 Prologue will slowly die.

Have to say I had to double check Le Mans was in GT5P when I first saw it. As with the Ferrari California video at the Nurburgring, Le Mans just looks like a hi-res render of the GT4 track.

Yupp, too bad PD is perfectionists all over. If they weren't we would have Nurb and Sarthe by now :P But when we get them it will be perfect! Probably be 2 years from now.

so le sarthre and nurburgring is definately at the motor show throughout all of the show..the show ends on august the 3rd...the same day as ford fair.

If you look at the first picture. How come the layout of the speed,revs,position etc is identical to GT4?

On the first picture what are those 3 circles on the bottom left?

Don't know. Must be some hybrid pre-GT5P version or something. The fact the 2 set-ups had DFPs and not G25s, plus they weren't in the 'hoop' style booths leads me to believe its just an interim demo created for Shell/Audi.

Turbo.

They're the indicators that show if traction/stability control are turned on/off.

So the last picture what car is that? Can some one find me a real life pic of the car it is? Evora? First time i hear it.

That's because it was revealed at this show.

It's the Lotus Evora. I haven't seen it in the flesh yet but from pics it looks nasty. It's like 3 cars stuck together. Front looks like Ferrari, middle is GTR and rear is Lotus. I immediately don't ever want one.

I played the Lotus one today! It said it was 'GT5: Prologue V2 Special Edition' or something on the menu screen. It only had the Lotus Evora on it from what I could tell. I've got photos of it but I can't seem to upload them properly since Photobucket has resized them to a miniscule size for no apparent reason. :/
