Love everything about the X1! The sound, the speed, the handling! I want a fleet of them in multi-colors!
 
Really, want to see someone build a real one! Some billionaire who loves the car and wants one!
 
I like both the FGT & the x2010...

i much prefer racing my Ferrari F2007 & F10 though. (Soooo pumped when they introducted the Ferrari Formula Challenges) - Its actually a fun Grind
 
I did think X2010 should banned in A-spec or B-spec

I'm almost sure that the X1 is wider. It's also got a vacuum under it.

Biggest difference between X1 and F1 is that the X1 has a closed cockpit and wheels to spare it from the F1's terrible drag. Other than that and the vacuum, they're pretty similar.

I know that the X2010 is physically wider, and that it has better grip and power than the f1, but I was speaking in appearance terms. Because of the open wheels away from the cockpit, it has a wider look than the closed-wheel X2010.

At the sacrifice of Premium cars.

It is a premium car, so it's probably only worth one other premium car. I don't find the premiums valuable though.
 
How can you even compare these 2 cars???????????

They spent many more time creating it, they even colaborated with Red Bull...
 
I've had alot of success in the X2010, winning alot of online Red Bull races. I golded the Vettel challenge using the DFGT wheel. I can drive the car with the force feedback on now, and its funner that way!

As for it being impossible to drive, na. Of course not. Its easy if you have the reflexes and patience for it. If your impulsive and impatient you;ll never learn to drive it.

The Real F1 cars are the best addition to the game imo. There should be 5 Ferrari F1 models. The F2004, F2001, F150 Italia should all be thrown in. Nobody needs 385 Nissan's. I think thats how many are in the game. Really stupid waste of time by PD.

I'd have to disagree with you there. With real premiums the cars have to be perfect, otherwise people will pick up on the faults and say PD have done a poor job.
The X2010, as it doesn't exist any little mistakes will not be noticed. Perhaps the air intakes are too small, or the headlights wrong compared to the original drawing. But no one else would ever know outside PD (except Newey). The X2010 is a much more welcome addition than the Kubelwagen/Schwimwagen (I do like them, but should they really be in a racing game?)
 
I find the X2010 a bit more enjoyable than the FGT, all I wish was there was another car to compete with it:(
 
x1 should be alot faster
it must be 2000 hp
soo you can see the diffrent

I think you might need to race it against the wipeout vehicles haha. But have you tried one make race with the X1? I haven't and i really feel like doing it now.
 
There you have a point.

FGT is comparible with the F1's...
X2010 is on his own... at the top.
 
I love the FGT. Had a black and purple one in GT4 that was set up perfectly
 
Alright, someone tell me how to embed a youtube video please! Thanks!

Just take the youtube video ID (utKDiGFaPhE) and use the [ YOUTUBE] utKDiGFaPhE [ /YOUTUBE] tags (without spaces).

The thing is that the X2010 has simulated downforce.. basically:
(Wiki: ) The Red Bull X2010 '10 (originally named Red Bull X1) is a fictional Prototype car featured in Gran Turismo 5. The prototype vehicle was made to answer Kazunori Yamauchi's question if: "If you built the fastest racing car on land, one that throws aside all rules and regulations, what would that car look like, how would it perform, and how would it feel to drive?".
Click to expand...
umm...every car in the game has "simulated downforce." The game is a simulator...

Corpsey
the answer is really effing fast and twitchy lol.. it would be really expensive to keep having to replace your driver and car too irl. instant death:skip to 1:40ish with you or me driving it sure...but that is why we are not professional...



Corpsey
I'm kind of pissed off that it's in the game really...... because one doesn't exist that can actually produce enough downforce to keep it on the track. I also think there should be an option to simulate / provide a model of how the car actually behaves as it exists today. That would be more challenging and rewarding to drive..
Click to expand...
umm...you are really missing the point huh?...

this car was designed by the head of Red Bull's F1 team...the game simulates its performance based on its design, just like it does with every other car in the game...in theory the car would perform just like it does in the game (assuming GT5's physics model is as accurate as they tell us it is)...

your fictional low downforce model of how it "actually behaves as it exists today" doesn't exist because you're trying to make it up...the car doesn't even exist today in a workable form...its a computer model based on what Red Bull's F1 team was able to come up with...

I think they know more about the performance of cars than you or I do...


Corpsey
ugh okay basically get your x2010 and try to drive it with really low downforce settings and that's how it would be irl.. that's all I'm saying.
Click to expand...

and what do you have to base that on? nothing. I promise you don't know as much about car design as the head of Red Bull Racing...he also designed cars for Williams F1 and McLaren F1 as well...

The X2010 is an awful design. Wasted resources. The FGT, is a regular F1-type car.

And better for it.
Click to expand...

you're telling me you could design a car better than the ONLY guy to design a car to win Championships with three different F1 teams??...really??...

this car wasn't designed to win a beauty contest...it was designed to be the fastest race car in the world...

jpressley101
I like the design of the FGT better than the X2010 as well. Something about the sleek, arrow straight design of the X2010 makes it seem like it would be more of a straight line top speed car than a circuit racer. The wider-appearing design of the FGT looks more versatile, hinting at a seemingly better-cornering car.

What?...this car was designed by Adrian Newey people!...just because you think it "looks" like its built for straight line performance means nothing..

The poll doesn't offer the option I'd select, which is thumbs-up to the X2010 and down to the FGT. The X is meant as a fantasy car, no pretenses there, and handles decently. The FGT, though, is a stand-in for regular F1 cars and fails miserably because of its poor downforce. Even tuned it's damn near undriveable in comparison to the F2007.
 
Thanks for the assist Charlie! On Adrian Newey, if you look at the mans resume it is very, very, VERY, impressive!!! Whereever he's gone and designed cars hes' brought championships! Not just wins but Championships. To each his own, but for me the car is a dream! Certainly very glad it's in the game!

G-Forces, yes, the car is "borderline" undrivable by a human at top performance. But I'd still pay to see it run in real-life!

Agreed, adrian newey is a legend in F1, it just frightens me, how he is able to do it, its supernatural almost. Undriveable yes, thats why it's in the game, but i was thinking, if they got g-force suits, those used by air force pilots, they just might be able to, and the person would need to be trained to drive it. And i would also pay to see it drive in real life(if it was real). I just dream that someone out there fees the project, for his own amusement.

I'd go with that! The FGT is a decent extrapolation of what PD might do if they were in F1... but we really need F1... or some sort of Japanese spin-off depending on the licensing.
