Yeah, I got to level 41 on my first save (that got deleted) and I never saw Drag or Endurance. I've been trying to choose random things this time to see what happens (level 22 or so) and still haven't seen either.

The drag races in FM3 were diabolical for a whole host of reasons, but their biggest crime against humanity was that the loading took twelve times longer than the actual action (if you can call simply holding an accelerator down for five seconds "action").
I wouldn't mourn its passing in FM4 for one second but please Turn 10, if drag racing does have to be included then for the love of God do it properly or don't do it at all.

Are we now allowed to rev the cars at the start of the race, or is this still an animation during the countdown?
I'm quite sure we talked about it (this thread was created when the LCE M5 coverart was revealed afterall). Shinn even uploaded this glorious cockpit footage (recorded by XboxFront.de): http://youtu.be/zivCYit4Fl0?hd=1eso76 said:

You can right now in FM3 with "manual w/ clutch" shifting. It's much easier if you swap the handbrake and clutch buttons in the settings, away from the default of A and LB, respectively.
A little OT here but saw this on the official forums. This shit looks amazing!!:

How long 'till we see games looking like this?

this looks better than even GT5s super high lod shots
Its fun in a gimmicky way, which is fine, but the track layout certainly isn't anything to brag about and you cant actually race on it due to the figure eight configuration.Xanadu said:

LTTP, but I finally got round to playing around with the triple-screen in-car FOV glitch tonight (there were early rumours that it corrupted your game save which put me off until now). Wow! What a difference! I set it at 80 degrees which seemed about perfect for most of the vehicles I tried, making it feel like I was actually in the driving seat intead of sitting on the dashboard with my face pressed up against the windscreen.
Did Turn 10 ever say why the default view in FM3 was so close, and why they 'hid' the option to adjust it in the multi-screen menu? I know the cockpit FOV in FM4 is pulled back a little by default, but I seriousy hope the option to fine tune it (even using a glitch) will still exist when the game launches.

It's not as hard as you may think to make a modelled car look realistic.Mascot said:

Che said it was so that you see as much of the track as possible, and that you shouldn't need to see the dials, since that's why you have a HUD.
Real sim racers don't use in car views either, at least that was the excuse in fm2 when cockpits were "a complete waste of resources".

It seems that most people hating on Top Gear would rather watch a normal Car Review show, which there are plenty. One more boring and sterile than the next. Could also be that people can't accept comedy in conjunction with cars.

The Top Gear integration is probably the main reason I'm picking this game up. For me its honestly one of the best shows ever made, whether you love cars or not.Doodis said:

I hate the show personally, it's less about cars and more about middle aged men trying their hardest to be funny. Watched it as a kid while my brain was growing but now that by IQ exceeds that of a banana I don't bother anymore. The track is also really boring, given it a go in GT5 and there is absolutely nothing interesting about it, watching the Forza video and seeing shit like car football and running over bowling pins does not excite be either.
Top Gear aside I am SOOOOO fucking hyped for this game, getting a Slim November time for just this game and also GeOW3. There is so online pass shit for this game right? I'm renting and really want to give this a go online.

I've worked in magazine format television for ten years, and I think the UK Top Gear is the best magazine format show currently being made. Incredible production work, top notch host chemistry, just a really fun watch all around. I certainly wouldn't use it as a basis for car purchase decisions, but it's great entertainment.

Looooove the Starion.
Any word on the Toyota MR2 Mk.I?
This game could never have too many 80's sports cars. Here's hoping.
