Did you know that....

[Bravo]

Did ya know that on the 787B the wind shield wiper moves on the test course at high speed? It may do it on other cars and on diffrent tracks. I just noticed it while I am doing the GT All-Stars in Professional league. Major attention to detail.

 

[Famine]

Yes.

And the mudflaps on the Lancia move too.

And the Xsara has an aerial that's not visible from directly behind the car, but grows out the roof as the car moves around in front of you.

 

[Purple Platypus]

An aerial? What's that? How do you actually see it if you can't see it from behind?

 

[ceiling_fan]

it looks like an antenna coming out the center of the roof of the car. It is only visible when you press L1 (because of a graphics glitch)

And The Ford Focus Rally Car doesn't have round brake rotors.

Were they are like that in the real car? Or a version of the real car.

They can't possibly be. The brake disc rotates with the wheel and the caliper stops the disc, and therefore the wheel, from rotating. If the disc isn't round, then the caliper won't be in a position to grip it. There is no caliper in the picture.

 

[daan]

That one is round

sorry for the double post

Is that an Escort?

No idea. I typed in "Escort WRC service" into google and that came up.

EDIT: Yes it is.

 

[Dave A]

Thats an Escort but not the WRC escort, the calipers could grip the disk like the one in GT3 but they would need to overlap the disk more then normal calipers, just seems too odd really.

 

[jamxx]

Okay. Here's what I found. This is a WRC Escort, though I'm not sure about the year... Oh well. It looks like the same one, only in a different color.

 

[jamxx]

Here's a zoomed-up image of the front wheel. It is hard to tell, but I don't think there is a hexagonal brake rotor in there, it looks more like a circle to me.

Hey, don't be so sadistic

 

[TurboSmoke]

i have seen disks that are shaped like 50 pences (sort of) on mtbs and cars...there is no reason why the should be round anyway i spose.

 

[TurboSmoke]

here is an example of a non circular mtb hydraulic disk.

 

[Solid Lifters]

Crap. I meant Escort, not Focus. Damn blue and white Ford rally cars!

 

[balloo]

Dont quote me on this but i have seen brake discs (rotars) that aren't round, i was told it has something to do with cooling of the disc under extreme braking.
