2nd GTPlanet Formula 1 World Championship (Finished - Season Over!)

[Ardius]

The thing is, GRID isn't about Realistic sim driving, its just purely racing. Sure, it feels horrible because you're used to the sim racing experience of GT5P or F1CE so naturally it'll be alot different, but I wouldn't necessarily dismiss it.

Perhaps not, but its entirely different to what Codemasters used to do, I'm hoping like everyone else they do a good job on F1 09 but I have serious doubts whether they'll pull it off.

 

[Sureboss]

How would you do a LAN on F1:CE?

 

[Shaggy Alonso]

So what times are you getting so far at soaking wet Silverstone? By best in a practice race was a 1:27.94x. Unless you count the outlap which again produces a shorter lap time like at the Nurburgring, I got a 1:26.8. i think roughly your outlap is a good 2 seconds faster than a standard lap, mine was a scruffy one.

 

[Kakundoo]

I can consistently get 1:28s and that was only with a short practice, half of what I usually do. My best was like yours, in the 1:27s but I think it was a bit faster than 1:27.9, it could have been 1:27.7 or 1:27.6
So based on that, I'm definitly looking forward to this race, I think it will be close.
What about everyone else?

 

[Sumpington]

Going to run a NTSC practice right now, open room, parabolica. I think I am with you in the 1:28s. But I'll report back after this 20.

 

[DaddyVDUB]

Sumpington did you remove the pic of the dog,or did the mods? Or something else?

 

[Sumpington]

Ha, sorry I was actually moving my account around. Rehosted.

 

[LewyOs]

1.26.7xx so far, but theres more time there.

 

[mofongo273]

Is the next race at Silverstone also on Wet???

 

[Sureboss]

It would be fitting for it to be snow, alas, no option exists in F1:CE.

 

[DaddyVDUB]

Yes heavy rain, its not that bad unless your close behind another car.

 

[Kakundoo]

Lol Sureshot.
Damn that is quick LewyOs, is that what you get lap after lap? Or is it your best time overall?
Also, what times are you getting Sureshot?

 

[fishfash]

Yep that's correct although I thought it was May 12.

No dates yet for the PAL version

Right guys, as the above link shows, it is actually game over for me.

My PS3 has just died with the orange/yellow light problem, it's a 60GB UK PS3 launch. 👎

Sony have stopped the free replacement of faulty Launch 60GB machines as of last week.

Game Over Yeaahhhh. LOL.

 

[Sureboss]

Damn, that's a real bummer. Don't they still send a replacement but with a charge? I've heard $150 tagged about before for the Americans, not sure if we get a similar thing or not.

Been great fun racing with you for those 2-3 races anyway.

That's bad news, so Sony are refusing to replace the ps3?

Only I've heard of people ps3's packing up a couple weeks after the years warantee is up, yet sony have still replaced them.

Ouch! Sorry to hear that fishfash, no chance of finding a new PS3 before May?

 

[fishfash]

Yeah £140 to replace. The USA version of F1CE is stuck in the console !!!!

The USA game is cursed !!!!

EDIT:- Sony have stopped the free replacement of faulty Launch 60GB machines as of last week. Mine is just under 2 years old.

Remember guys, it's only the USA version that goes offline in May.

 

[DaddyVDUB]

Yeah thats why I'm not faster. Its the NTSC version.

 

[fishfash]

Yeah thats why I'm not faster. Its the NTSC version.

LOL

 

[DaddyVDUB]

Sorry to hear about your PS3,now I'm afraid for mine. Did you ever run one of those cleaner things in it?

 

[Ardius]

Remember guys, it's only the USA version that goes offline in May.

Yeah, but the championship is going to be over by May anyway.

 

[fishfash]

No never did, the problem I have is a well documented issue known as the YLOD, yellow light of death.

 

[mofongo273]

Since F1 CE is under the: "soon to be dead" category, I will take a brake from racing to concentrate and improve my battle skills. I bought Socom: Confrontation about a month ago. I love this game even though I suck at it. It is online only and team work based. I'm also interested on purchasing FC soon, just for the circuits and the FF. They look really good.

 

[Sureboss]

Practice is scheduled for tomorrow so no times from me as yet.

Check out this website. www.continuousplay.co.uk, It replaces your ps3 within 2 working days if youre signed up to pay 5 quid a month. Im just thinkin, whats to stop you from signing up and then declaring it's broken, and then recieve a brand spanking new one for just a fiver? They must have some way of sniffing this out.....oh well hopefully they don't.

Yep very good point, but I have already called them and they have my details on record with the fault along with my serial number (previously registered). 👎

Not all is lost though, just was going through some paperwork and I took out a 3 year extended warranty with Argos back in March 07. Looks like they will try to repair it, otherwise provide gift vouchers if not repairable.

I am hoping it's not repairable, so I can buy a PC and start playing rFactor.

I don't blame you to be honest, playing GTR Evolution with the G25 then going back to F1:CE, and you really notice the difference, I'm yet to invest in rfactor though, but will soon.

 

[LewyOs]

After some more practice today, I pulled out a 1.25.8xx no draft.
