Would be nice if we got the option to give the F1 the HDF-kit in game eh?
Absolutely... and honestly, I don't think it's too much to ask for. I guess in the "tuning/racing mods" section, this could possibly be an aero upgrade? Gimme some magnesium Oz racing wheels and I'm good to go!
 
Papaya orange was avalible on the F1 but according to my uncle who works for mclaren, mclaren orange has only ever been avalible on the mp4-12c.

So this leaves me to believe that the mp4-12c is in, along with the fact that my uncle told me that PD gave them the permissions to put the MP4-12C but he was un-aware if they were able to put it in as they expressed how it may 'be in a later GT game'

NFS Shift has it. NFS Hot Pursuit will have it.

I am sure GT5 will have it.

Another user in this thread reported that he saw PD staff taking photos of the F1 and the MP4-12C. So far, we've seen half of that duo. ;)👍:sly:

Yes please!
 
I'll take the MP4/*all-of-them* pls.
 
Still curious about the car that will "replace" the F1

Its known as the p12 I have seen its designs and specs, trust me its out of this world.
 
Its goingto be beautiful. SO glad we get it with Game Stop pre-order. Ill be using it in my first online Event that friday after it some out!! 24 HOURS OF LE MANS!!!!
 
I don't think we'll ever see a car again that will age as well as the F1 both mechanically and asthetically.

Looks like a CLK DTM.
 
Care to share them?
:)

I have only seen them I do not have them and any way my uncle is a member here and would soon have my comments taken off as a swore silence.

But I can tell you this you will get to see it before the end of 2011.
 
So, the McLaren F1 '97 and the GTR version is included? The GTR is the version with a spoiler, front 'bashboard' and McMerc Orange.
 
Of the short tail cars there are standard F1's, standard F1's with optional rear wing/splitter (like the red car above), F1 LM's (all orange), F1 GTR race cars and F1 GTR's which have been converted for road use (some in LM orange).
 
The FINA from GT4 is likely to be in, but no mention of a GTR so far, that's just the Stealth model, a PD-created thing.
 
Why is it possible to drive the McLaren F1 on dirt in GT5 lol?
 
Seeing the stealth car video today reminded me somewhat of this:

I hope that the McLaren will be one of those cars that has a racing modification that PD was talking about for select cars.

Why not? Put dirt tyres on any car, and you can drive on a dirt road. It's not a rally per se.

They had Porsche 959 driving on dirt back in the day.

 
Fairly annoyed with the stealth car to be honest.

Purely from being a fan of the F1 IRL, seeing the normal front bumper with a proper wing just looks wrong. Why is it not a GTR or at least a HDF-kitted car?

Oh and it sounds ****e.

Ofcourse most cars could theoretically drive on a dirt road but that Porsche 959 example can't be compared to a McLaren F1 ( or most supercars ).
The production 959 was AWD to start with and to illustrate this point Porsche entered Dakar twice with cars specifically build for this purpose.
They were rally cars, a normal 959 couldn't drive in the desert with the normal ride height, etc.
Just like you can't compare a Citroën C4 rally car with the regular C4 road car.

I have used an SW20 MR2 for gravel rally. It's not as crazy as using a McLaren F1 though.

speaking of mclaren, it seems AutoArt has released the 1:18 scale of the mclaren f1. Bought one from them i can't wait to get it.

Beautiful picture, I don't like most Mclaren's but that is art and function.
