Ok, I'll give it a go later after MOTD or tomorrow morning. Even if you don't want to do the F1 Ferrari seasonal event to get more XP and money, it's always fun in arcade mode where you can take them around any track you want (no XP or money here), or online in games set-up for those cars.

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.
Leg-End, how is the Red Bull with a wheel? It was frustrating as feck with a pad due to the sheer speed and twitchyness of it, any slight mistake, off and disqualified. Took me bloody ages.
A million times better, I mean its still very hard to drive on the limit and your hands and mind are working at a thousand miles an hour but you can post consistent times. It's a great workout though.
You must be a fat feck if you see a computer game steering wheel as a workout.
Honestly with the force feedback and the Red Bull X1 your arms get a good sweat on, I challenge anyone not to. But yeah I'm fat, if 11 stone is considered fat these days.
That's alright then, I'll keep eating.
Not forgot about you duffer, it's just that I don't have any way until tomorrow to do a backup.
Just done a 1:21.461, with a pad too
I don't doubt it dude, I only did a couple of laps on the wheel and most of it was cursing the FFB. I think 19's is possible on the wheel, especially if you took the time to mess around with setups.
Couldn't you have just lied and said it was a good time?
If it was anyone but you mate yeah. Honestly thats a great time on the pad though.
Took me fecking ages to get into 1:21's and then brought it down a few times in quick succession, I'm pretty chuffed with it I have to say.
No rush at all. Not had a chance to play for the last few days anyway. Will get back into it tomorrow.
1:19.893 around Monza with a few alterations to the set up
Told ya, its on the rev limiter halfway down the straight on the default settings.
You're not supposed to fiddle with it, then there's no baseline.
I think I'd messed with it before and had the final gear too long, so I shortened it and reduced the rear aero slightly. Result was that I was the tiniest amount short of the rev limiter just as I got to the braking zones and with the reduced ratios I also had slightly better acceleration. Perfect.
I reckon there's more time to be found now just by perfecting the lap, I've not really nailed Parabolica and I'm convinced there's a few tenths to gain with my entry to Ascari. Going to keep trying, it's pretty addictive.
There's no power mods, it's just basic set up that you'd change from circuit to circuit.
Need to fiddle with my ratios a bit. Given it a bit more aero to get around Lesmo but I think i'll trim it back a bit. Parabolica you trail brake into and then nail it asap. What you're aiming for is to still be on the brakes hitting the first apex then slide it wide on full throttle.
Set a 21.7 with the controller. It's all about putting the power down into Retifello. If your using a controller, turn the traction control up to 2. It's not enough to affect the rest of the lap, but it keeps the rear end in line out of retifello
Never played with photo mode before, it's more difficult than it looks to get decent results.

How do you think Forza 4 will compare Weaste? I really liked GT5 at 1st but never really played it after a month or so. Whereas I found Forza 3 easier just to pick up and play
They'll be comparable, just that the way they are structured is totally different. Forza is more friendly/accessible to the casual player with things like rewinds, assist mode, etc. The integration with Kinect though makes me a little nervous for it, as I think that it's going too far. Hopefully it also delivers on its promise of far more cars on the track than Forza 3 had. Shame they lost the Porches as well.
You reckon we'll see more cars and tracks added to GT5 by way of DLC?
I think some, yes.
This or next month. I wouldn't be surprised if we see an influx of RUF Porsches either.
I'd love to see.
2-3 Ruf's 'this is very big selling point'
2011 F-150 Italia 'maybe'
Aventador
Aston Martin Vantage 8 and 12.
2011, Audi R15
and a few more cars with the race modification option. I'd say the DB9, Gallarado, 430, 458 and SLS
Track wise, i'll think they'll probably just give us some old school tracks like Midfield and Apricot Hill and probably Motegi. I'd love for them to chuck Bristol motorspeedway in for Nascar. Might make people respect Nascar drivers a bit more. Even with 16 guys, the chaos would be insane.
I've already got 3 Rufs, bought my third a few nights ago in fact.
Anything additional would be great, but I'm really hoping for a few big tracks, Spa being top of the wish list.

16 players online confirmed. The tyre model is being touted by the devs (I know they would) hopefully it's as good as they suggest.
In an Enzo, on the ring with changeable weather and time. Here it's pissing down just turned dawn.
The enzo looks like it's floating a few feet off the track!
It was airborne at the time, and banked to the left. There's a crest of a hill there and I was turning left as I hit the top of it. The car is not in contact with the ground.
That explains that then
There are quite a few spots on the Nordschleife where you go airborne, and some of them are approaching breaking zones. If you are going too fast you've no chance, as you should be breaking but can't. Not so much a problem in the dry, but in the wet it's a different matter.

Bottom shot is fantastic.
GT5 raised the tyre model bar quite high for console racers 'one thing it actually did extremely well', they're going to need to pull it out given Forza 3's effort to bring it up to scratch.
Yay to new tracks, booo to no Spa
Old list, it doesn't mean they don't have it. At the minute, the closest we have is probably Eiffel.
Don't tease me Weaste, I'll just get my hopes up
