Really? I know the P1 is great on the more technical tracks (great accelerating & braking) but the Aston?
Yup, pulling similar lap times with the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S as I am with the Ferrari FF and Ruf RGT-8. It's definitely faster than the AMG GT-S and Stingray.
Major edit lol. The V12 Vantage S is in the super class haha. It's actually SUPER slow.

I'm really surprise there are no lambos in the game. before the game even came out the first two cars that leaked out where the Ferrari 599 and the Aventador even though Rushy said those were just concept stuff

Same, I didn't really understand how or when to use KERS/DRS so the F1 simplicity appeals to me.

It's pretty much use KERS up to 100mph and use DRS whenever you've got a straight. DRS disengages as soon as you brake so you don't need to worry about turning it off, just don't try highspeed cornering with it on unless you want a closer look at trees...

On the plus side I finally hit level 50.
Now I just need to drift 96 more miles for that platinum....

DLC / Pay to win?
Kinda playing devils advocate here but there are a few pitfalls to be had with the DLC plans and I think Evo need to be careful on their multiplayer events.
A while back when the 458 Speciale came out there was a race on Sinclair Pass against the standard 458 - I was the only guy with a Speciale and won the event without anyone else reaching the finish line within 30 seconds of me. I don't think it is the case, but if I was one of the other guys in that race I may well have been thinking I had to buy the DLC to compete.
The other point that's been raised to me is if the new Koenigsegg One is that fast AND easy to control then it's going to dominate and potentially unbalance the hyper class, take over all the scoreboards etc.

If the agera is anything to go by the one:1 will handle like shit.

I wish BT would release Homehub 6 - DC Edition...
I had server issues again over the weekend when I got a chance to play. Man, when it can't connect to the DC servers at all and nearly everything is blacked out it becomes a pretty empty game! I got into a few races on Sunday evening but mostly this was me:
"Double XP! Sweet, that'll help the progress to 50!"
*fires up game, much black*
"Oh you tease Evo."
Still, it gave me time to complete all the stars from the original tour. The Norwegian lightweight event is great fun, one of my favourite events I think. Not sure I'll do all of the red line and photo finish tour events as they look broadly like more of the same but I will do any of the events that use different locations to the original tour. Do any particular events stand out as particularly great from these two?
Now only three trophies left for the platinum but I'm not sure I'll get all of those. The accolades under game modes / location seem a long way away! I'm actually surprised how far. I've played all the original tour, a good number of single events and a little bit of the multiplayer (servers allowing) and I'm still 60+ races away from level four for the race game mode accolade and even further from any of the location "fan" accolades.
I'll probably be playing the MP for a while though so I /might/ get there in the end.
Talking of MP, any news on how the lobby system might work? A searchable lobby list a la GRID2 or GT5/G6?
Does anyone have any inkling as to what host and event tools Evo have planned? With largely no in race penalty existing for overtly aggressive driving in DC I'd love a post race review and incident voting system to be built into MP replays but not one single driving game has taken many forward steps with regards to host options so I know it's only ever going to be a dream!

I'm in the 495 club now!!
Both Venom events are tough but I had to spend more time in Savage Rivalry event (the original tour) and X-Bow Bolt event (Ignition tour) and anything I had to use Renault Twin Run Concept.
I still don't know how to pass the first red flag turn in the X-Bow Bolt event even after I got three stars.

Sounds like me, the fast car classes a lot easier to me than the slower classes (like the X-Bow Bolt event etc). The smallest mistake can make a huge difference.
Oh and congrats =).

LOL yeah thats true, could be why they had to draft a stig in to do the time for them!

Well they just wanted to make sure they got a representative time to put as the One:1 Hot Lap tour event 3 star time

Lol I can just imagine the blood vessels bursting now!
I know who the stig is ;-)
*It does handle better than the venom
*It's a handful to control due to the power
*Around 1 - 1.5 seconds quicker so *if* they do a hot lap expect a 1:15 or 1:14.5

New update has just gone live for me.
Is that the one with the uphill hairpin that seems to make you spin out no matter what speed you take it? If so, it drove me nuts for two full days before I managed it.
Game update 1.11 is now available worldwide. The download is approximately 750mb & you need to it connect online.
Try out the new Kobago track right now & along with improvements based on your feedback. Full details here: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=777710435646652

Pretty sure the "dynamic" part of the weather has changed also, it was pissing down on the first lap then for the rest of the TT (another 4 laps) it stopped completely.
What I'm asking for is a full lap on the track, at day time if possible, and not some 3 seconds teasing.
Thank you, good sir!And another using an Enzo in cockpit view from yours truly

Looks fantastic. Another winner for sure. This one is also a lot tighter and more narrow for those (including me) that wanted a Japanese track like it.

-Adds the ability to choose from a collection of factory Paint Jobs during vehicle selection prior to an Event
How do I do this ? It still just one paint job in Factory.
Never mind I saw it , it is with square button ,I guess not every car has it though.

Awesome new track, should make for some tense races with the abundance of tight, narrow turns. I have a feeling it will be a special treat for those who complained about the other Japanese tracks being too wide, i remember one poster being especially vocal about it.
The only thing i don't like about it is that it's the last new track for the foreseeable future.
Edit:
Oh shit, in all the excitement about the new track i forgot about the new manufacturer liveries.

Have the gamma issues been fixed?
Just did a quick check using a Mclaren F1 and a Japan track @ 9pm, I believe it is fixed.
Went a few laps on the new track with my freshly unlocked McLaren P1. Love it
Sad there's no morelocations/tracksannounced
Not true. Scunthorpe and Ipswich are landing in July.

Am I the only one noticing the cracks on car bumpers?
This game keeps getting better.

Yes, none of us crash at all so we wouldn't notice such things.
