I did interviews with Gamespot and Outside Xbox yesterday, so they should surface in the next couple of weeks.
Now I've got 2 weeks off to recover, before the launch pissup on the 21st. :approve:
The guys who play in leagues are better than me for that. They probably spend more time playing the game than I do. I spend weeks running round tracks, but very rarely in the finished game.
Latest dev diary. My nose puts in a brief appearance!
Gamesradar preview http://www.gamesradar.com/f1-2012-preview/ Pretty chuffed with the comments on Champions Mode, as I designed and configured that.
Recaros don't cost £850 anymore. That was 197 price, they're £970 now!!
The ones in the 197 were trimmed differently, the 200 ones don't wear anywhere near as badly. Saying that, the ones in my cup didn't wear out either, but then I was able to climb in and out of them properly. I've never...
Pics of a Nimbus 200 you say!
Spec:
Nimbus 200
Cup chassis
Recaros
RS Monitor
Rear tints
Heated electically folding door mirrors
Cornering lights with black surronds
Black speedlines

Black roof
MP3/Bluetooth hands free with Tunepoint
I'd find it hard to be without Recaros these...
Andy, that article got confused. We have a shorter season for people who don't want to do a full season. That's call Season Challenge. Champions Mode is another mode where you take on each Champion in a set scenario.
This video covers a lot of the new stuff...
Finally some more news, and a sizzle video which relates to one of the features I designed this year, Champions Mode.

That's standard round these parts. :approve:
I almost bought one instead of a 172 back on 03, then drove it! I almost traded the Trophy in for a facelifted one in 05, but then drove it. Sweet driving position, decent brakes, lovely gearbox but totally dead steering, and a ride which was just...
If it had been 100% standard I don't reckon they would have turned you away. They did mine, no questions asked and that was just before it hit 3 years old.
You mean you bought a souless breadvan. ;)
They hold up pretty well. I did 55k in my 197 Cup before chopping it in. It wasn't exactly a trouble free car though, but I suspect that was more it being a Friday afternoon car over anything else. The paint was crap from new (had two panels repainted!), they forgot some of the rubber bungs...

I actually took a lot more track shots than I thought!

Cheers Nick. I'm sure yours will be better though. :approve:
I know, such a PITA. It's another of those circuits where a full 3G signal counts for nothing. I'll see if I can get you along to the F1 2012 launch event if you like. We're bound to have one.
It's not really that exciting, but it's probably best I don't. It's amazing how things you say on here get around. Comments I made in the Forza Horizon thread went straight to the top of the Google search, and I almost had MS wanting my blood. :o
A few from Sunday.
