I instantly fell in love with this track! I wasn't expecting it to be this good. this is where Gt5's superior physics shine! thanks to all the guys letting us in North America join 👍

Exactly. When in a street car (Lexus IS-F in my case) on sport hard tires, the fact that you have to let the car roll through the corner and wait just a bit longer to put the throttle back down....love it. That's how driving games should feel. 👍
 
I think Spa just made it to my new favorite track in GT5..its simply amazing. I remember playing spa in other racing games, but GT5's version feels perfect! Im in love again!
 
A couple of nice guys overseas were nice enough to let me join their rooms so I could drive on Spa and OMG, I love this track. Like the guy above me said, it's simply amazing. I think this track is probably modeled @ par w/the Nurb. What's weird is tracks such as Autumn Ring don't look as good as Spa does.
 
I did some online racing at Spa tonight in some Japanese touring cars, really good fun. Though I disconnected shortly after joining about 90% of the rooms for no reason I could understand at all.

This is the best racing track in the game, love it! Already some fast laptimes going around too.
 
I joined someones lobby and did some hot lapping, its not bad. bit weird buying it when all you have to do to race on it is join a lobby lol
 
My one and only gripe with spa (bar the penalty system, but that's got nothing to do with the track) is that you can't see cars go through eau rouge, but can still see the track quite clearly. And the first corner promotes fender benders. But that's just me nitpicking, its great fun there.
 
love the track, hosted some great 10 lap roadcar races last night, came last as usual lol
 
I've not raced on the track yet, but I hope there are some SEVERE penalties for corner cutting that skid pan (with the speed bumps) (the first corner) when racing online.
 
Missing the change time feature a bit.

The sun reflects on some parts of the track that much, that you're not able to see the road ^^

The replay cams are mostly pure awesome, the helicopter view rocks! 👍
 
I'm going to spend all day on this again. I'm determined to take Eau Rouge flatout in my completely stock Caterham (I kept on spinning out yesterday, so much so I started to feel like Jacques Villeneuve)
 
Best version I've seen on any sim. Wouldn't mind paying if I could get a new track every month.

Could there be more tracks hidden in V2.0, waiting to be released?

Probably the Test Track, you can see the numbers of the straight and a X2011 driving at it in the opening.
 
Am i the only 1 that thinks the grass & track edges look totally ****e? It looks bloody awful

Yes you probably are the only one

ucwepn

Please think about what you are saying. If everyone thought like that you would have no Spa my friend
 
Probably the best version of Spa I have ever played.

Scrub that, it is the best version.

Its very accurate, the trackside is very detailed (apart from kart track surface) and the lighting is majestic. Really wish it had a day/night cycle but oh well.

The Nurburgring has a very strong rival for my heart and it comes from Belgium

Are you referring to the fake grass that is being fitted to all sorts of race tracks these days?

It's the stuff cars keep dragging onto the track in the RL when they go over the kerbs.
 
Im loving spa its awesome in any car and i spent hours just taking photos of my tc's going up eau rouge last night worth every penny
 
I was not able to resist and bought the track pack DLC. Did not tried the Kart track yet but Spa is just brutal! Looks so great! Track accuracy is perfect and it is definitely the best version I ever played in any game.

Great job PD!

Unfortunateley they needed 2 years for this, so I got less hope to see some other TOP tracks soon.
 
I think I need professional help....

I'm addicted to Spa...Can't stop....Need more

Problem is i'm on it so much my missus is going mental at me

Can I trade her in?

Is that even possible? Good luck with it! 👍
 
I wish it had time as well as weather. Some of the corners are lit up by the sun so much that I can't see the apex. (That's my excuse anyway, not rubbish driving. Honest.)

Weather to 25%, Surface water to 0%, Weather change to 0 and have fun.

I hope so, GT5 would be sooooo much better if it got more tracks (it would drastically extend the life og gt5), the current tracks are getting too old.

My PS3's in for repairs, so can't wait to try out SPA with nearly ever car im my garage ;)

Not if she's above the 1 million $ trade cap...
