Very clever!
Yea, I was shocked when I went to A-spec and it told me I could only use the F2007 in one make races specifically for that car, if I'd saved up and spunked £12m on that I'd be very pissed off!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

Because it's a real car, it probably has something to do with the licensing arrangement where Ferrari don't want their F1 cars going around a track with Zondas.
Even if they didn't want them going round with other cars it'd be nice to be able to drive the thing around more than the 3 or 4 tracks on that season event.
if that were the case I would have thought ferrari just wouldn't let them have the car in the game.
I think the negative spin on this is much worse than if ferrari didn't have the F1 cars at all.
it's abit of a shame but I guess seasonal races will keep things interesting
Is the new Focus RS or even RS500 in this game? I've seen the old Focus RS pop up and the ST is available in new dealership. Need to find a car to use for the classic race in expert races also, the dodge fully tuned can't handle that Toyota thing and I can't find that plus the GT40 is too dear.
my mate did it in the buick special '67 fully modded
I did it by getting the toyota 7 via b-spec

Nice one, cheers for the suggestion, will have another look at it when I get a chance. Also cheers to Kerplunk in the newbies who sent me a PM with a few pointers also.

It needs to be noted that this update does not allow Leaderboards, endurance saves and such, but we can probably expect them in future updates.

That's a big update!
The renting your mates cars seems pretty nifty.
I think that it's all stuff that was always in it but wasn't necessarily working at the right performance level when they were forced to release the game to retail - they had to release at Christmas. The multi-screen part we know was in it in as early as 2008 but it wasn't in the retail version for whatever reason. I think that we can expect quite a few of these updates every 3 months or so. Hopefully the next one will reintroduce the leaderboards and update some of the standard cars to premium.
I'd say we'll probably see them kick on a bit in production since its past the holiday season.
Thanks for the F2007, leggie. Much appreciated.
No problem. Big update that, renting cars is useful and I'm hoping the experience has been bumped up alot because I rarely feel bothered to even play the game now because the experience meter hardly moves.
Experience looks like its been bumped up quite abit which actually makes the game playable again for me. Time to get the old B-Spec drivers out again.
Have you tried this remote control B-spec? What do you get, your PS3 streaming a video to your web browser?
Haven't tried it yet, but apparently you have to have a friends B-Spec driver available in order to use it.
Finally getting somewhere. Just managed to get level 15 and now on Expert. Best car I have now is the Audi R8 5litre. Not done any Events yet. I have the impression they are almost impossible and not fun at all.
Anyone know how many levels there is?

40 for both A and B Spec, and once you get to about level 27 its a major grind although the new update has made it abit easier with the exp boosts and the seasonal events too.
Have they bumped XP on all races? What's you recommended "grind races" for XP? Don't care about the money, I have more than I can use at the moment.
Yes they have but only xp, as far as I know I think they have knocked prize money down abit. At the moment I'm gonna just be running the B-Spec Endurance stuff to get it out of the way but I did try one of the Dream Car races and what used to give about 12K in xp now gives 32K so its basically at the level it should have been in the first place.
Are we trying racing again tonight??
No, footballs on
I managed to flip my Audi R8 straight up and at first i thought i was going to do a perfect loop the loop 
oh and i still recovered and came first 
Move over The Stig

r8 is irritating. slides around a shitload. love the look tho!
Not until we sort out rules and methods of how it can be done. This single night thing doesn't work.

I flipped an X1. Full sideways rotation and landed on the wheels.
I sat like this for a good 30 seconds:
This is such a busy thread that I just want to have a part in it despite never having played the game.
Carry on.
Carry on.
up to nascar challenge

once i had some of the driving assists on (especially skid recovery) it was ok
but the final race is a real bastard. I was first for 10 laps and they drafted and spun me in the last corner

Yeah the Daytona race is more or less a lottery, they love to spin people out on that one.
Pretty typical daytona then. I wish PD had developed restrictor plates. If we do a caftard days of thunder race there will be an output penalty, down to about 430bhp which is about the same as these cars on the big ovals like daytona and Talladega.
Can I rent/borrow an F1 2007 please? Stupid as I already have one in Prologue, but I don't have 12,500,000 credits in this!
I want to do these seasonal events. I'll only need it for half an hour or so.
