The soundtrack for NMS by 65daysofstatic is probably my favourite ever for a game - it suits it perfectly.

3rd race at Bahrain...qualified 7th,finished 7th..nothing really happened,no retirements. Perez got driver of the day again,with another wonderous 1 stopper - 16th to 8th! Raikonnen won his 3rd race in a row - running away with it already! My power unit looks pretty worn but i havnt replaced...

This is why im not having kids haha.

Haha,i just cant explain it...i just cant come in from work and carry on slap bang in the middle of a grand prix. I do 50% anyway so i never really need to..i just make i have enough spare time to do a GP.

Yeah i found the Suzuka one tough..couldnt get near the top 2!

Youre not saying any of the current Ford RS will be a future classic are you haha. Even the current RS Clio would get nowhere near that status imo.

Tbh,whenever i see an old 80s car on the road now like a volvo estate or a lada...il shout classic!!

The last gen Focus RS will be a future classic purely for all the vents/intakes hehe..it really stood out. The latest one looks like a standard focus with an RS badge!

Ta What possible future classics have Vauxhall made since the 90s? I cant think of any...yeah the Corsa VXR has been popular but it pales in comparison against an RS Clio.

Yeah,they have a huge following due what they did in the 80/90s...they dont seem to be putting the same passion into their recent cars. So many variations and models of the ST line just makes them generic now - the opposite to what a XR3i was.

Thats the thing - everyones meaning of classic is different...like someone mentioned a cars colour has a bearing earlier,to me it doesnt.... its the standout cars that got the biggest critique/amazing reviews and lived up to the hype like the 1*2/R26.

I think Ford still rely really heavily on the rep they gained in the 80/90s with XR2i/Cosworths etc. Now i see a new Fiesta ST around every corner.

I agree about the 200 - i owned one for a bit and wouldnt put it anywhere near the same level as a 182. Too many issues like cold start/kangarooing for me,i kept thinking why didnt Renault sort this out at the start? But saying that,its still better than most hot hatches from any other...

Its true what you say about the Novas etc being sought after now,but they are rubbish cars in essence,they just have that history. Whereas Renaultsport on the other hand,genuinely made 'great' cars like the 172.

I mean by critics who are impartial...cars that are regarded as 'great' decades on.

Yeah i agree its too early to talk about the R26R being a classic right now,after only 2008! Im not sure how many years has to pass to get to classic status ha,but im guessing around 20-25 looking at the Williams. Do you think the other manufacturers (ford,vauxhall etc) have as many future...

Does that mean Renaultsport never made a bad one hehe? For me,the 197 was the best 'looking' Clio but it wasnt quite the same raw hot hatch the 172/182 was. For me in the last 15 years,the 182 & R26 stick out as they were regarded best in their class in their era.

I wouldnt attach a certain colour to 'classic' status...a certain model is a classic regardless of colour imo.

Which of the 172/182/197/200/R26 etc will be considered a future 'classic' like the 5 Turbo/Clio Williams in years to come? Or is it all just down to personal opinion?

hehe i dont mean it like that - i meant i dont like coming back to a race the day after - when youve built up your 'pace' throughout the qualy/race,it breaks your rhythum i find,and it takes a few laps to get back up to max pace,in that time youve lost quite a bit. Would just rather do a race in...

Yeah there is...but i dont really like using it as it stops my rhythum in a race and you forget whats happened hehe.

I do 50% aswell,but with all the practice objectives,qualy etc it can be up to 2 hours for a whole GP!

The problem with this game - having the time to play the damn thing. 2 hours a grand prix and Pcars2 just about to show its face. First world problems.

I actually swapped it for an R26 a few months ago. The guy i swappped has it up for sale now hehe. My reasons were the kangarooing,cold start issues and the Akra was a bit too loud for me for everyday commuting. Great car on the B roads,but a bit of a pain for everyday use. I know an EFI remap...

First two races in my Haas career at 70% AI....5th in Australia and a 3rd in China! I think il stick it up to 75 AI and see how i go as those results are a little unrealistic for a Haas,even though ive had some things go for me hehe. The AI seems to drop about 10% difficulty in the rain so i...

I do still work in Halifax every day,so you might see me about! Yeah hes a nice guy,he took my LY 200 in direct PX and hes already selling it hehe. He had a white 106 Rallye in his garage when i went to his place! Il PM you mate if i have any Meg related issues hehe,but the car just did that...

Im near Castleford mate,whereabouts are you? Ive no idea about a rear brace hehe,i bought the car mechanically 'sound' so everything should be ok on it for now. Il be taking it to DDC in Donny soon for a service and checkup in the new year. This talk of track rods needing replacing frequently is...

I just did a 800 mile round trip to Cornwall,and didnt see one other R26 hehe. So...nope never see them!

Nice...only up the road from me. Anyone else have an R26 in the west yorkshire area?

Getting great reviews so far - career mode looks so much more in-depth with hundreds of upgrades now in the R&D tree. My only problem is its coming out 4 weeks before PCars2! I wish the releases were more spaced out - F1 is a game im on for a good few months.....will still probably get it...
