Im on season 2 in the Manor,going to Mexico i was LEVEL on points with Rosberg at the top of the standings! I won that race,with Rosberg & Hamilton finishing behind me - so i had a slender lead going into Brazil.
A puncture on the last lap may have cost me the title! Tyre wear was really bad in...
Well a real life bolt of lightening has made me up the difficulty to legend.
Was in the USA gp last night in the Manor,was a full wet race - started in 10th and got myself up to 3rd. then i went into 1st as the top 2 pitted....the race dried up,and Raikonnen and Rosberg caught me on the last...
I just made the best tyre stategy call ever. A HUGE slice of luck resulted in me winning my first race,at Suzuka,from 22nd on the grid in a Manor!!
So i chose to go Medium/Hard/Hard for the race,disregarding Softs. So a 2 stop long stinted race.
Lap 8,i go in for Hards,having climbed to...
The Manor's straight line speed from the Merc engine really shines at Monza - i got an amazing 4th there! But my TM Wehlein just finished outside the top 10.....this is where i think about turning the difficulty up to legend,but then again i really struggle on other tracks. Theres times were a...
Yeah i believe they do - as you see from my previous post,my TM Wehlein got his first point at Spa. He was nowhere at the start of the season.
Ferrari have now overtook Mercedes as the top team in my career - will be interesting to see who wins the first season. Torro Rosso are now the 3rd...
I saw sparks at Spa last night,quite a lot of them coming from the AI at Eu Rouge.
I got a decent 12th at Spa in the Manor,but this was an important race as it was my TM Wehleins first point of the season in 10th! There was a mid stage of the stage where we racing each other in 11th & 12th,on...
This was released too close to F1 2016 for me,so il probably pick it up later in the year,when some patches have ironed things out aswell. I really like the hardcore driving aspect of it all,but im still wondering if Project Cars still holds the best of both worlds. Im very intrigued to try it...
Well i had my usual trudge around Silverstone - not one of my favourite tracks,i just find it very flat and quite boring. I made the mistake of totally forgetting about the hard compounds in the race strategy,so i ran mediums and softs in the race and i ended up making a 3rd stop. I finished in...
Ive had a really good run in the Manor recently - points finishes in Canada,Baku and now Austria. I came a great 6th in Austria,crossed the finish line and the game hard crashed on me!!
So i restarted the race straight,and did even better and came 4th! The penulitmate lap i had both Mercedes...
WHAT a race i just had in Canada! My first points in the Manor....from 21st!
The race started with a downpour,and it was heavy rain for the first 18 laps,i managed to battle my way through from 21st to 10th...i was outbraking the AI in corners and managed in the rain much better than i thought...
Well i tried Monaco tonight and i hated it.....i just dont enjoy it at all. I dont understand why im so far off the pace,a full second off 21st in qualy,using a max downforce setting. (im not sure if that was the best choice)
Got to lap 5,was 17th and had a train of the backmarkers behind...
Really? The career mode is the meat of the game and its so much more in-depth this time - development points have never been in any of the CM F1 games and the potential evolution of the teams and drivers over the seasons is the biggest addition in years....theres more strategy to think about...
Manor - Expert - Bahrain
So onto Bahrain...my pace was surorisingly good there,i qualified way up in 13th. The race started and i found myself in 5th! I was thinking this seems a bit easy but my tyres started to die with Ricciardo catching me so i pitted early and then shortly after my TM...
Well i qualified in 18th in Australia,my TM narrowly beat me into 17th,but our pace was better than both Renaults surprisingly. Both Williams had grid pens and started at the back!
To the race,there was an incident on lap 2 where Nasr spun as i went to overtake him,my TM crashed into him and...
Ive started my career with Manor on Expert AI. Im still on Australia practise after a few hours ha,im really struggling with the tyre management test - i think my style of driving lends itself to high tyre wear so im finding it hard to keep it out of the red. My pace is well off aswell,im...
Got my copy today,really impressed so far - the career mode seems really in depth and you could spend loads of time in Practice trying to earn the upgrade resources. Im starting right at the bottom with Manor on Expert AI. Got manual starts and pits,so will have to master those! All this extra...
I think anyone like myself who is into space and the universe,this is a must have game. Ive never played anything like it,the scale of it all,and the different experiences of discovery. The planets can be very different,one can be lush and full of wildlife,and one can be dead,no life at all,and...
Just spent about 3 hours discovering my first home planet ''LV-426'' hehe,not bad for a first planet,it is scorched at 40 degrees but has some interesting caving systems....just found a monolith and ive repaired most things on the ship. There 3 other planets in the system so will need to check...
Really looking forward to this now - the career mode looks so much more in depth - you can upgrade your car but it takes time,theres a graph which shows team performance comparisons,so if youre at Renualt you could catch up with the likes of Williams in a few seasons.
My '04 182's headlight covers look pretty bad now - all misted up,cloudy and could with a real rejuvenation. Is that kit from Halfords the best thing for it? Or is there a cheaper way to do it instead of shelling out £25?
Im treating the Rally Cross segment as a totally different game,but ive got to say,its providing some of the most intense,close racing ive had on console. Anyone agree?
Im on Professional level now,and its hard to get in the top 3 in the semi,never mind the final - but im loving the challenge...
I did the scotland level at the weekend...its quite a long one,and what a setting,love the old ruined caves and the sense of perspective when you see those distant crosses you have to get to. Reminded me of The Goonies hehe.
And what a contrast to Madagascar next...when you first see that...
Why are people talking about getting frustrated....both games have great learning curves i enjoy. Yes,the challenge is massive in Dirt Rally,you hardly ever win a rally,but i love the fact of pushing myself that extra bit and that disaster is just a centimetre away. Much more rewarding than the...
Started this tonight,amazing game. Best graphics,models & animation ive ever seen...it does remind me a lot of The Last Of Us in places.
My game kept crashing after chapter 6,and then i realised the game was still installing haha.
First rally on Elite championship at Monte Carlo,and i came a surprising 3rd overall. Even though the Quattro is quite a big car,it got around the tight corners really well,and it takes hairpins so much better than the Renault 5. It bodes well for the rest of the championship.
The below video...
