Many people don't know that you can use the F1 cars in the Ferrari Seasonal. (Either that or the Supercar one. I forget.) The bummer is, you have to be a Fernando Alonso to win in it, 'cos you have to de-tune the heck out of it to be able to enter.

Once you enter, you think: "Now I'm gonna kick some serious butt!" NOT. You'll find yourself in a full field of the same car that you're in. (F'10's or F'07's) The catch? They're not de-tuned... :lol:

With all the credits being thrown around for the last few months I have bought both f1's just to spend some credits. They are a blast to drive in the F1 seasonals. (with huge payoffs)

Yup 👍
I moved from L38 to 39 just by grinding the F1 Seasonal Races.

Any idea roughly how many times you grinded?

I don't think GT5's F1 cars "suck", though I have to say I'm a bit of a Ferrari fan. The licensing problem may get worse. Top Gear? ALMS? Okay, so GT got WRC, NASCAR and Red Bull for a little while, but what will be the next licensing problem...?

I've been reliably informed that EA and Microsoft have been sub-licensing Porsche and Ferrari to each other for N4S and FM. A good deal for both parties as it's saving both some money and still delivering for gamers. Not sure if that deal is still in place now though or whether EA are preventing Microsoft from using Porsche in FM4 (I don't think there's any N4S games on the horizon so perhaps they're saying no for now).

Microsoft owning the Ferrari license and preventing it from being used by Sony (see Outrun Online Arcade and how that was pulled from PSN as an example) is a problem. Then there's the FIA... Then there's EA and Porsche. Sigh!

On that note, it's probably a good idea for Polyphony Digital to exploit other avenues and make as much DLC for GT5 as possible. Improving, optimizing & extending GT5 on PS3 until the end of this generation is an incentive for people to keep buying the game (or re-buying it if it was traded / sold). Bolstering the 1000+ cars with directly licensed DLC cars from other manufacturers may be one way of boosting interest (obviously the DLC will have to pay for the license). Exploiting the marketability of old GT4 / GT-PSP tracks is another.

Existing GT5 cars (like these Ferrari F1s) aren't a problem that will ever be fixed because the game is already pressed and on-sale. Shame, but at least they can still be enjoyed - even in their limited ways. It would be good if these F1 cars were on sale for say CR 5,000,000 instead. Perhaps then they would be considered more worth the time people spent saving up for them.

And a lot worse to drive.

Really? I think it's a lot better, more purer of an F1 car without the technicalities in my opinion. But back on topic.
I think that PD should've put more F1 cars though, like they did with the NASCARs. At least more 5 different ones including Team Red Bull and McLaren to losen it up in online. It feels like that if you have the F2010, you're a cheating god that can only be beat by another cheating god in an F2010, instead of making it an RB7 to level out the playing field.
 
Hi, Codemasters F1 2010 has all the Formula One rights to F1 cars, all the F1 tracks and driver's names except for the two F1 Ferrari's in this game. Think yourself lucky they are included at all. Try them in Arcade Mode against the same cars or in Practice Mode and try to beat your best time against any other car in the game on any track (that you can use it on) have fun. P.S. FYI you don't have to pay 12.5Mil. for an F1 (like I did) you can win one (B Spec Level 40, I think). Now I have two.

Dammit Codemasters! Oh well, at least they don't have the rights to badass for Op. Flashpoint Red River, Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3 owns the rights to that already.
Maybe they can make a new Formula GT but the brains already went to the X1. Aw well, just stick to either F1 or Not races, they're some people online doing some F1 only races.

Yeah, the F1 is pretty cool, nothing like it in the world and all over the world for the matter!! Coming to Texas next year. Looks like Vettel has a pretty good advantage this year.

Despite a lot of haters of the FGT, with a basic tune it is IMO the most exciting car in the game. Sure it could use some more downforce but it keeps you on your toes :)

With the Formula GT you CAN adjust the downforce. Settings - Body-Chasis. Use racing soft tires too for more grip. It has even more Hp than the F1 cars too. Have fun...

I don't get why people keep saying that you can't use the F1s in this game. Join a F1 series. I am sure that somewhere on this site there are a few of them going on right now. I am currently in a F1 series based out of the Playstation forums. So much fun it's ridiculous. Next race is at Cape Ring.

Appreciate your being helpful Chris but I run the FGTC so I know this :)
Its still missing a lot of downforce compared to the old polyphonics, and the F2010/07 have masses of it compared to the FGT.
Thats what I meant.

Akmuq - It would be very helpful if you would provide me with an explaination rather than just provide a dunce. Any chance?

Sorry for way late response but I was quoting your comment as the answer to the question the guy above me asked because he can't read past the title, the dunce was directed at him.

Ok, so I bought an F2007, then I went to A-spec and I couldn't drive it there, I went to an online room and again I couldn't drive it. Why?!?! I mean I can only drive it in the Seasonal events. I bought a car at 12,5 mil that sucks:grumpy::grumpy: Somebody else do this?

Now it makes sense.

you suck. JOKE :)
 
It's lame because we CAN race with the Formula Gran Turismo but we CAN'T race with the F2007 and F10' ): Why did they designed those 2 cars anyway?? Sry for bad english
 
Agree, 120000000 credits these things cost and you can't use them, meh i like crap cars better anyway, but still it doesn't make sence to include GTracer and exclude F1 both are better then that X1 (imo) That Xthings suks the most of all cars EVER!!!
Greetings stano666 :)
 
Stano, what don't you like about the x1? I use that one the most of any car. 2nd would be my 500pp Elise.
 
@ Oshawa That x1 isn't very realistic, i don't hate it or anything but it literally sucks ;) Different people have different tastes, and i like crappy old realworld granny cars (that's why i like GT! it has the Demio, just like my mommy, i hope GT will include the BX one day, just like i had:)

But i've got a question: Can i paint the Formula GT car ???
It's in the OCD now but it's yellow, if i can paint it, i can buy it, if i can't paint it i rather wait for a green one to show up.
Greetings stano666 :)
 
if we were gonna get more formula 1 cars i would want them to be usable ANYWHERE.
and i would want the turbocharged v12 era F1's

i would want the lotus 98t in its 1200 BHP qualifying specs
with a livery editor.
 
I've been talking to some people about why the F10 feels so bad with the wheel. The general consensus is that it requires tuning with the downforce and suspension, specifically making the suspension tighter. I have yet to try that out but I will because I don't want a 10 million credit car to sit in my garage collecting dust. It's amazing to me that the two Ferrari F1 cars feel so much different with a wheel. The F2007 required minimal tuning from me in order to compete but the F10 will require a lot of tuning just to get rid of the dang wheel feedback that is very annoying.
 
I don't understand why people are so annoyed about this? I personally prefer the FGT since it is more unstable and harder to drive..... and I'm faster than my friends in that car. With the F1s, just drive them against your friends in an online lobby. That way you get close competitive racing (me and my friends are quite close in speed and all very fast but not the worlds best by far) so if you buy the car just to drive it in A-spec and get cash quicker, then thats your fault. If I wanted to earn A-spec credits quickly, I would use a X2010 because its faster.
 
I find it stupid when people complain about this. Are you that retarded that it took you buying the car to realise that it is relatively pointless? And regardless of it being pointless, who cares? Buy it and enjoy it, it is a fun and great car to drive.
