Great, you better be driving the HRT with extra lead in the ballast when you race online!Dilly said:The only thing we can simulate right now are the driving techniques, the stress on the body when driving an F1 car makes it much more challenging.
I've played sims for years (I think I was 14 when I bought my wheel and played the LFS demo) and I'm considerably faster in karting than my friends.
Hammond lacked the racing technique, the engineer pointed out his faulty brake technique. When my friends play a race sim on my PC, they also brake the wrong way even though for me it feels natural.
I genuinly think sims can improve your driving style, they just won't make you a competitive F1 racer.
On a more serious note, you're correct, driving and racing are two distinct things. A good driver (And Richard Hammond is a good driver) is not always a good racer as the two require completely different skills.

My new TV is arriving between 1-5 PM tomorrow. If the game unlocks before it arrives, it's going to be hard waiting.
Hey everyone, glad to see enthusiasm for the Championship idea. Unfortunately this one is for PC. Here is the list of people I have so far:

Foliorum Viridum

TylerD
Leunam
Frawdder

As for the timezones/scheduling, I was thinking we would figure out a time that works for all of us from race to race. We could have a set schedule for practices on Fridays or something as those aren't as important since you can just practice whichever GP we are on that weekend on your own time.
If we were to schedule races in the morning I would prefer it to be around 9am Pacific if it is on the weekend. But as I said we should figure that stuff out from race to race.
As for figuring out teams, I was thinking once we know for sure who our 12 is we'll finalize those. Maybe if you guys could list your preferred teams (top 3) we can get a sense of how it will work out.
For me I think it'll be Renault, Sauber, Force India.

I don't remember exactly what I was getting. I benched at 1920*1080 and 1600*1200 and in Windows 7 with everything on max (except for AA on 4X), I wasn't getting 60fps. I was running an e6750 and never really pushed it that hard. I think when I had it aroung 3.2ghz, it was mid to upper 50s for average framerate. I'm not sure there was much of a difference between those two resolutions. Had I opted to push to 3.6, it might have been perfectly fine.
Just ran the benchmark and at 1600*1200 with D3Doverrider enforcing triple buffering v-sync at 65fps, my benchmark average was 64.8
That was running my new Q9400 at stock 2.66hz and the gtx 460 at stock speeds. Seeing the water deform without slowdown was glorious. I'll get to overclocking later.This wasn't the only game I upgraded for, it just seems like every game/demo I try lately plays better with quad core. Seeing that German benchmark with the difference (I presume) between cores was just the final straw to get me to purchase one.

bummer about no demo... there goes one potential sale..
Fucking seriously? Fucking fuck.evlcookie said:Oh man the game is unlocked like 3 days later for aussies? Price rise and now this
Might be different if you're getting it gifted, though... but damn. Three day wait for activation? Cunts.
Anyone know if there's a way to get around this?

FAKE EDIT:
No fucking way I'm paying 42 on Steam Italy's shop...
what a fucking robbery...

Uhmm...
After I'm done with the d/l, will I be able to play it forever offline or do I have to at least log-in every time? Sorry for the newby question but my last pc-game (and meet-up with Steam) was with... Half Life 2 back in the day :lol
I'm asking this because I can do the download no prb but after that I'll be hooking up my new rig forever in my home cinema room where I have some *serious* bandwith caps and getting online there it's just a bummer.

The first time you launch the game you need to be online, but after that you should be able to play it in offline mode...

Amazing lap of Monaco on there. I'd stick it on at least 480p, though.

I had a hard time choosing between Robert Kubica and Mark Webber. I wasn't picking my second and third drivers by who I like the most but by who would be the most fun to play as. I chose Lewis Hamilton as my first pick driver because he is, in my opinion, the best driver to have graced F1 since Ayrton. I don't say that lightly. I couldn't pass up the chance to play as him
If I was picking in order of talent, I would of picked Fernando Alonso and Robert Kubica as my second and third drivers respectively.
In other news: I hope my DFGT still works. I literally threw it in the closet under a pile of hockey equipment after the Gran Turismo Time Trial Challenge ended and I haven't touched it since. :lol

Guys I don't know if this has been discussed already but ...

Getting my team preferences in
Red Bull (Mark Webber)
Renault (Robert Kubica)
Ferrari (Fernando Alonso)
Again, my entry is tentative because of time difference, being in Australia makes it hard coordinate races with both US and Euro people, someone is bound to end up racing at 3am which is less than ideal. Perhaps if there is enough interest in we can schedule a second championship at a different time to accommodate those who won't be able to make the "main" GAF championship.
If I can't make it then so be it.

Lucky for you, there are 3 Australians signed up. We'll definitely have to see how it all goes though. I would love for it to work out even if we have to tweak things. Maybe we'll end up having two championships but we'll take the overall race times and just hold a leaderboard for the quickest of each race.

I've just started university, too, but since it's on the weekend I should be fine. Throw in your name and see if you can make it anyway!
Well,with Kmart's $44.99 deal, I decided to bite.
Now, i'm hearing Warner is taking their time getting copies shipped to retailers.
As of right now,just Best Buy will have console versions the 21st. I'm nowhere near a Best Buy...
If you pre-ordered from GameStop,you won't have a copy until Thursday. :lol
Sucks being an F1 fan in the US.

I agree with Foliorum, with you Dilly we have 12.
This is my 4th week of university, I think this will be my main source of entertainment for the spare free time I'll have. :lol

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure either. I basically wanted to get an idea of what people wanted to drive, and ideally get everyone a drive that they're okay with. The only trouble is no one has put down HRT yet. :lol
I'll post the full list of people with their choices once I have them all.
