ye F07 does look a bit strange but im on my ps3 typing with the D pad so it helps 2 abbreviate a bit + truthfully the racing softs are grippier than real life.

If I try to access GTP on my PS3 it just comes up with some stupid adds and I can't sign in because of them. I can get rid of them but hten the hyperlinks don't work and everything becomes useless
 
How the hell do video games with Monaco in get everything so right evrywhere and then at Monaco they are always way faster than reality. Webber holds the Monaco lap record and it was described as a perfect lap. It was a low 1.14. In F1 2010 the online lap record is a 1.10
Oh and why have we started calling the F2007 the F07? Its looks a bit bizzare when its typed.
Its all to do with physics, and whether those are properly calculated into the game. Its a very very tricky process and it has to be done by someone who is very intelligent. i racing good example of a simulator, the PC flight sims now qualify towards FAA flight hours.

In real life the bumps cause the cars to loose grip, along with the tires being different. The drivers are manipulated by G-forces, which are actually tough to deal with during braking. It can cause an out of shape "joe six pack" to pass out in the car. Watch the 2 seater F1 car at Abu Dhabi, the reporter guy almost barfs. F1 drivers are paid alot, because not many can push the car without making mistakes, and handling the G-forces at the same time. If you make a mistake (like reventon did a couple nights ago) the car is trashed and its millions of dollars or Euros.

GT5 physics are not up to snuff with iracing physics. The dimensions and little details of the Ferrari F1s that PD plugged in are not going to be spot on. Also their "engine" has no been released to the public and so nobody knows how good it acutally is...

Other games like F1 2010 have no physics engine, and no realism. They manually determine how the cars drive. Have you ever noticed in that game you feel like your on thin air.....like your not touching the road. Its because there's no physics, and no downforce.

lol , i dont crash and play with my f10

I stopped driving for a while that's why Im a bit slower and less reliable and right now its the same theres no motivation atm.

but put heavy damage and I will be better on pace and reliability.


Im just really waiting for the season where there are teams for the team (constructors championship) and driver's championship

And I hope we can use the real team names as the teams xD


btw can someone upload our replay in Fuji to youtube , it would be nice.

I just saw the description in game for the F2007. How inaccurate. It says Kimi's biggest rival was Louis Hamilton and that Kimi made is F1 debut in 2007, not his Ferrari debut as it actually was. He raced in F1 since 2001. Do PD actually follow F1 racing or do they just look at a picture of the 2006 car and the 2007 car and then write random stuff about it hoping it is half accurate?
 
Who is holding today's race? Is it in a lobby or a lounge?

No I dont think so....Unless the Euro game descriptions are diff.

ANWAYS >> I'll put the F2007 in on softs just for this one, since the track is so tight and technical. PUBLIC LOBBY. I am PI$$ED I slept through the Chinese Gran Prix last night, I intended on waking up briefly for it but didnt....Saw on F1.com it was "thrilling" with Webber coming back from 18th to 3rd. Damn, I'll have to catch it tommorow when they replay it at a resonable wake up time, lol.

WHY oh WHY do they play info-mericals and "monster truck competition" for hours and hours on end when they could replay the F1 weekend. Are the majority of viewers "12-13 years old" boys from Florida and Alabama?

Webber's drive was insane. I love the amount of passing and wheel to wheel this year.

So do I follow this post saying softs for F2007 or the front page. Softs sounds good to me. Hopefully I won't spin out badly then.

did Webber still have KERS issue when he got from 18th to 3rd?

NO WAY Jose. :) Without KERS he would have been 18th. :ouch:

I didnt watch the race though so I dont know what happend exactly.

Talladega Nights is on right now.

I'm gonna send out a friend request to Jimmy, then open the room up in 30 mins or so.

he had no KERS. it was just the tyres
 
Really, on that long straight I'd think he'd have been crippled without the extra 80 hp.
 
golfer, when you head into the room at 6:15 or so, step out and post the room # for me, thanx ;)

redbull and mclaren have the fastest car for the season
 
Sorry guys had to leave the race. Really really stupid reason thats p***ed me off.

Renault has the highest top speed.

Sorry I left guys. Three factors:
-I was uncompetitive too a point that there was no pint racing. My absolute best, the best I could of possibly done with ym current setup was 7.4 seconds of the pace of the lead car in quali. Eveyone else could run 1.12s as well so what was the point? And no one gave me any help when I asked. I mean qualified in P9 of 9.
-My Dad had just cooked dinner so I had to go eat.
-The regulations on tyres wasn't enforce because it was a tight circuit (why does that change anything?) which I felt was a bit of unfair changes to the rules at the last minute

Overall I just couldn't be bothered. Please use proper regulations at the next race. I think this series would be epic with the FGT. Balances it all out.

top speed yes for 2010 - I dont know yet for 2011 , lap times no.

renualt lotus for 2011 is still over half a second off the pace compared to the mclaren MP4-26 and redbull RB7 for 2011/

Ferrari F150 (2011 car) is just as quick as the renault now because of budget caps the teams with the best aerodynamic head engineers will have the fastest cars, like Adrian Newey

Every single car Adrian Newey developed and designed in F1 was a championship winning car even though he did not develop with a high budget cap like ferrari (500 million euros for the aerodynamic development in a year)
 
good race today guys , i had 2 pits and i only took in 8 liters of fuel by lap 40 i had a 1/4 tank and started conseving fuel i could of made it tho i might of conseved a little 2 much xD had just a sliver of gas left by the small chiane .
 
That was the toughest race, with the slippery hairpins and the length.....almost an hour of all out racing. I accidentally kicked somebody that was in, and allowed somebody that wasnt in I think, I will look at that. Nope neither were on the list, but I will add the person I kicked originally (SuperBand). I;ll take a look at the first corner incident, thats what I'm interested in because it put ArtMann in last at the start. He's a top 3 driver usually.

Next race will be faster and a tad shorter.

Did you see the Talledega finish just now. 2/1000ths, 8 cars. Real close.

ye i saw the finish on the pretty cool , cant w8 for Nurb
 
I'd run the Nordschleife, but its not so popular among the F1 guys. Although in the 70s they had some epic F1 races on whats not the 24 hour circuit (similar length layout.)

There's a crash on Youtube where the driver's car breaks into so many pieces he does a somersault on the grass and ended up sitting on the ground with no car left. Real graphic stuff, but you cant see much of it unfortunately.

I added around 3-4L at my only pit stop lap 22 (I think).
 
When you enter the pits the game automatically selects the fuel to the amount you need to get to the finish FOR SURE. Usually you can subtract a liter or two of that amount and still make it.
 
the understeer i had today real ate my tires in like 15-17 laps when they where good i avraged 1:14s lets see i pitted on lap 17 & 35 i was a about a second slower than i usually am today

Just out of curiosity, have you tested that? I was wondering if the default amount carried any validity.
 
Who won today by the way? Looked a close race up front.

Yeah I use the default amount every single time! :sly:

reventon showed huch much difference a good driver makes at Monaco, he had a real dominant day. Tool was quick too, about 50 seconds ahead of me I believe.
 
monaco's not a great track 4 me i like a nice sweeper the next rounds gonna be a good 1 so watch out i do pretty descent at nur gp
