$2 mil.?

I cant imagine putting huge prices on DLC helps as it just locks content away from poor people (for want of a better term).

Moreso will they give us useful events in leagues sport dailies etc. from the get go.
 
Its gonna be free!

Just kidding - wonder if they will have a challenge to win it, similar to the Senna stuff?? The only current F1 circuits we have are Suzuka and Interlagos.
Hamilton having qualified on pole and won at Suzuka in the W08 (crashing in Q1 :lol:, and finishing 4th at Interlagos).
 
:dunce::dunce::dunce:

How could I forget Monza!

Would love for the Merc to be at the 1mil Cr. Like the F1500T, but since it's not a Gran Turismo branded generic F1 car, but the real Mercedes, I'm thinking no less then 5mil.

I really really hope I'm wrong though. Sitting at 10mil in the bank now, so I should well afford it, but the more leftover the better, can buy a couple of others as well . On a mission to own all the cars.

Spa?



:P
 
The only plus of no June update is that my Blue Moon racing had my bank balance over 12 mill at the mo. Am going to give it a few days after the update before buying an expensive car to see if I get it in the spinning wheel first.

I'd guess the prices of the Ferrari F1. Wasn't the Ferrari at 10million? Or was that 6million in GT5P? So long ago.
 
Ubisoft and Codemasters seem have very good relationship 💡

There's no Ubisoft logo on my F1 2017 cover.

Hmmm...
Most probable to win, sure.
I could agree with "one of the best", but "best"... ??
A very talented driver in the right car/team at the right time? Absolutely.
Put Vettel, Alonso, Ricciardo, or LeClerc (in no particular order) in that car/team for a full season of competition and development and see what happens in the years following.
For several seasons now, the drivers themselves have voted on "the best" driver in the sport... Alonso.
For several seasons now, only one driver has been noted/hyped/touted to be driving well above the cars potential... Alonso, and, now I think we are seeing it with LeClerc as well... too soon to tell... beginners luck maybe...
Alonso beat Schumi when Schumi/Ferrari were still at the top of their game... in a Renault...
Then there is poor little Verstappen... if he ever matures it'll be interesting to see if he can get back his racecraft rather than what he has displayed the past couple seasons... Germany gives us hope.

That's my .02... and, like you noted, this too is arguable.
When Alonso and Hamilton were in the same car, Hamilton was faster. So fast in fact that Alonso had to leave and join a crap Renault team. Hamilton has been faster then all his teammates. I would only say Vettle might be Hamiltons equal. Ricciaardo isn't even faster than his teammate. LeClerc is a rookie, not even sure his that much faster than Ericsson. Magnussen is faster imo.

They both finished the season with 109 points, yet, half way through the season McLaren said Alonso was free to leave... which car/driver do you think was favored for the rest of the season?
They both had 4 wins and 2 retirements... and 109 points... but Alonso was essentially asked to leave... hmm... English driver in an English car?

Tell that to Rockstar.

Make a lobby, invite a few friends. Set the track to Blue Moon Speedway. Make sure everyone is on track. Set race type to endurance, set time for race to whatever time you want to spend away from the PS4, and start the race. Start driving and gain a bit of speed.

Press pause and let the car auto-drive. Turn your controller off and let the race run in the background.

I assume it doesn't work when you're on track alone in a race?
 
So here’s a bit of a more open speculation of what spec it could be for me before Monday. It’s probably ANY spec (except for the launch spec) of the W08, because this picture was from Australia last year and those 4 little aerodynamic pieces in the teaser shot are also on this one, shown near the front left tire (on the right in this shot).

I would think that if it’s the exact car that Lewis won last year’s championship in, it would be the spec that raced at Mexico, but we shall see!
