Holy hell that F1500T-A is a beast! Played in F1 lobbies all last night and that thing is a blast, but people REALLY need to practice. Didn't come anywhere near a clean race throughout the night.

The car is just so fast through corner you really have to work on figuring out your brake points and cornering speeds.

I was thinking about doing that FIA Nations race on Friday in the F1500 but after my experiences last night I think it will be best to wait a few weeks for people to learn the car first.

I have no doubts they will learn it( just like they learned GR1), but until then, I'll stay away from ranked matches

I was a little disappointed with the interior/seating position, felt more like a go kart than the F1 VR experience I was hoping for.
Fingers crossed a newer F1 car will come in future updates.
 
Good fun to drive, understeer is a bit mental when accelerating out of the corners and the sound seems off, not as raspy as I would have expected but a good addition none-the-less
 
Starting to think this car is too quick if it’s meant to be a semi accurate representation of a car from 1984/1985. I just took the car around Suzuka in a 1:39.1 which was far from a perfect lap. I reckon the absolute best on the game would be able to get a 1:36 which would qualify them ahead of two cars in the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix!

It isn't meant to be. As mentioned in this thread and in its description in the game, it's basically just an '80s shell with modern technology underneath.

I'm not sure what segment of people that's supposed to satisfy, but I'd rather have a true 1980s F1 car. Especially on engine sound.

Good point that little addition is genius really! It allows them to make cars that are, what us mere mortals imagine them to be like rather than what they were actually like. That's where GT is different to the hardcore sims or even Project Cars. They're more interested in creating a driveable car than a fully realistic one. Which suits me as I can't really drive half the cars on Project Cars competently.
 
This car is absolutely amasing for me. Its a car that you really throw about but still requires finesse to go quick. At the moment I've just broken into the 1:26's around Monza so its matching the back end of the 2017 pack currently with probably plenty more time to find
 
Modernized from early widow makers now being easy to catch until the absolute limit. Enjoyable anyways.
I would like PD adding the old dangerous Formula GT in the game. That was thrilling back in the day.
