With all your other stats. Scroll down.

Oh ok, thanks! . Can't seem to access the profile view on Kudos at the moment (all other aspects of the site work fine), but will take a look once it's working for me again

No problem!

I cannot access it either. Usually the page goes down when the GTS servers go down because it can't retrieve the data (Not sure if the GTS servers are down as I'm not home)

No, because the Red Bull is in The Crew 2

And the Renault is in Forza 7, the Ferrari in Assetto Corsa, and now the Mercedes in GT Sport. All 2017 models. Seems that getting an individual Formula One car in a game is very much possible today without the license. Interesting that FM7 and AC featured the current year car as the game and DLC pack respectively came out in 2017, while The Crew 2 and GT Sport have opted for the previous model while being released midseason in 2018. I wonder if it may have anything to do with the less desirable halo on the current models or whether it's a current year issue, but I doubt it's the latter as two of those games got it done.

I think we really need the current Merc and Ferrari so we can finally put to bed the debate over which car is better this year.

Yes we all make jokes about Lewis but he knows how to drive. Moreover, the W08 is a championship winning car, only adding to the appeal.

Lewis Hamilton seems like a good dude to me. Not sure why people hate on him so much. Backlash from being great at what he does? That happens in all sports.

What? No ugly Halo? I'm so disappointed! 💡

I see this "halo" mentioned often. Can someone educate me on what exactly this is?

In real life, it meant adjusting the balance of the car for each track, though this was largely due to trying to balance the tyre heat and performance (which wont be replicated in GTS because of it's very poor tyre modelling)... but I've no idea how that would manifest it's self into the game, I'm guessing it wont. Similarly to how we don't get high and low downforce LMP1 cars, we just get the one.

Speaking of Tires (or is it Tyres?), let's assume you are all right and it's an F1 car , does this mean there could be an introduction of the Ultra Super Softs?

It’s tires, tyres is the incorrect British spelling that (as I work in the ‘tyre’ industry) you just get used to typing.

But no, I don’t think we will.

 

[golfer07840]

I can't wait for this one to show up in the DW roulette only for me to miss it.

No, that won't happen. What will happen is, you'll grind out for hours and pay out your millions for it, only to have it show up on the DW Wheel and you'll win it for free!

I very much respect him as a driver but everything about his personality and the way he acts just annoys me. Quotes like "Love conquers all" when winning a race is just too much. It feels fake to me.

Would you prefer he yell "🤬 yeah!!!!" ?

"Tyre" looks better though. When I see "Tire" it automatically makes me think the person needed a rest

 

[georgetigra]

I'm wondering my lap time in ring! Alsop I can't wait!

 

[commanderr]

Not saying that I prefer a specific reaction. It is not about telling someone what to do. That specific quote after you win a race from 14th is just hard for me too understand and I have that a lot with his quotes. They seem not spontaneous to me.

I won a race in the daily races yesterday on blue moon from 12th with a battle for the lead with 6 cars wide sometimes for multiple laps. I was yelling to my cat after that win

All I can say is what language is it - English. So the English spelling is the correct and definitive one. End of.

Man as I wrote in the past, a modern formula 1 car would complete for me the car types I wanted in the game.

Somehow I need to continue with my personal car comparing hotlapping list. I have now testet over 20 cars in Dragon Trail Gardens N100 to N800 and I was about to enter GR.4 cars.

But, sport mode is just too thrilling, thats my problem...

Except there are multiple versions of English. American: tire, British: tyre. Both are English, and both are correct depending on where you are. You can't say someone is wrong because he is using a different version of English than you are.

Can't wait to put a Ferrari livery on it

They are both English spellings of the word yes. Originally from the word "attire", as the cars wheels were shod in their "clothes".

Essentially, it's a metal structure with the intent of protecting the drivers head from large objects such as tires and other cars.

That’s why it was designed like that!

Actually that’s not correct.

The correct and original spelling is tire, tyre was a slag spelling that came up in England. There was a Times article outlining the outrage of people not using the correct spelling ‘tire’.... alas the outrage couldn’t prevent tyre from being adopted into modern English.

Yes.

In Canada, as in the US, tire is the older spelling, but both were used in the 15th and 16th centuries (for a metal tire). Tire became the settled spelling in the 17th century but tyre was revived in the UK in the 19th century for rubber/pneumatic tyres, possibly because it was used in some patent documents,[195] though many continued to use tirefor the iron variety.

It has been adapted into modern English, so it is the correct spelling now.

Oooooh I am so looking forward to this! I just need Spa now and it would be a lovely update!

Nevertheless, can't wait to make liveries for this thing! Recreate so many teams! Leaning towards making the Alfa Romeo team first.

If... we can change the original livery...

Tyre v Tire

I laughed at the assertion that tyre was wrong until I laughed at myself upon discovering tire did come first!

Scroll down in article for tire v tyre. You can't beat a good graph.....

But don't get me on to the spelling of colour.....I am British!

Nice ... can't wait to put anime stickers on it

I don't see why not. Are there vehicles in the game that have restrictions?

It's just a remote possibility. You know, the Maestro's car...lol

I'm pretty sure you won't need 5 million dollars. I think in-game credits will be enough

You know what I mean.

Lots of responses completely OFF TOPIC !!

This thread is meant to be all about the Mileage Exchange and all those Special COLOURS (or Colors if you're from the Colonies).
