Hi,
The patch has been submitted to Sony for Q/A testing and subject to their approval, it will be deployed on the 9th August.
Due to the enhancements and fixes to the leaderboards, they will be taken offline around the 6th and re-enabled on the 10th. A full reset will been needed which means the current data will be purged. This is unfortunate but we had no alternative as several bugs allowed players to post in-accurate lap times.
We have already begun working on Patch V2 which contains several major feature enhancements including Trophy support and a Screenshot tool so you can showcase your cars, oh and a gear indicator in the in-car view. More details to follow...
Thanks again for your patience and we're sorry it took longer than anticipated to get the fixes to you.

Seriously: Thanks, FerrariPro, it's good to have news from you, even if it's to announce a delay. Patch 2 also looks promising 👍
PS - Could you please enlighten us about the car list? Are there any more cars besides the 21 Trophy cars + F430 Challenge? Anxiously waiting your reply.
PPS - If it's a secret, you can send me a PM. I'll keep it !!!

Cool, thanks for the update.
Any chance of squeezing in custom soundtracks and youtube uploading support with Patch V2?

great i indeed shift sometimes in reverse when first gear sounds verry low
are we the first t know about release date for the patch
?great scoop
can you give a tiny tiny hint about F1 cars in ferrari challenge (A)?
No, Magic Weather does not exist in this game.
Among other things, I've send them this photo too with the question about inclusion of such feature:
Answer is below:
"Unfortunately its not practical to add the weather system you describe."
So, it's not practical. Hehe
Oh, and yes - the missing of online-patch is pretty mch annoying right now. It was supposed to arrive "later this week". I guess I will really have to make a serious comeback to Real Bash Simulator for this weekend, even I didn't want to do so.
Shame, these things really add to the game atmosphere, sega really did know how to make a game standout by adding these fine touches.
Maybe sony should release the original F355 game as a download at some point in PS3's life and add online play (if sega allows it).

I hope you don´t mind if i find this statemant somehow inaccurat.
The PLAYER himself hasn´t a chance to post any times, these are submitted automatically by the game without any influence by the PLAYER.
Why can´t you simply tell your custumers that the online part of the leaderboards is not as stable as it should be for real online leaderboards.
Do you think we PLAYERS like to see the times mixed on the boards?
You can perhaps imagine my surprise when i did a top time with the F550 GT and the time displayed was the one i did with the 512 M. Would you be happy to see a top time some mere 7 seconds ahead of P 2?
Could there be a chance people see me as a cheater?
My rant should end here, aside from such impertinent behaviour against custumers the game is worth playing, i strongly hope the patch will lift the game to the level the marketing is talking of.

I don't think Ferraripro is intentionally implying that players are at fault for the bad times - I think its just an unfortunate string of wording. The patch will fix things and that's all that matters really
I think the game is pretty good, although I have to say that IMHO I find the graphics rather sub-standard and the initial lack being able to choose difficulty levels rather poor. The latter has been fixed in the patch. Having Dynamic AI isn't really good for progression, as it makes it harder to gauge whether the player is improving. I prefer set skill levels rather than adjustable skill.
The reason for this is that say I play the same championship twice - the first time I race really poorly and come in 3rd because the "dynamic" AI slowed down to encompass my poor driving. The second time I race much better, but the "dynamic" AI also improves so I still come 3rd. This to me makes it harder to guage player improvement.
I hate rubberband AI in all its guises.
The game has promise and I wouldn't be here posting if I didn't like it. The car handling is a breath of fresh air and provides a real challenge with aids turned off. However, I do feel this game was released far too early and there were some pretty shoddy issues which really should have been prevented its sale until fixed.

Exactly which date we will be able to download the patch?. I do not understand much misinformation.

Yeah get the online sorted and the world will be a brighter place LOL. Seriously though it's one of the most frustrating games to try and play online at the moment, this coupled with how good it is when you finaly get into a game makes it even worse. The penalty system and car collision physics makes this a fantastic online racer, I have to say I've not once been taken off the track or leaned on heavily in a corner online (more than I can say for single playerLOL) Personaly, wait till the patch before you go online, spend the time tearning the tracks, unlocking some cars and getting some paint schemes done for the online stuff next week.......If the online part of the patch dosn't work, I'll be doing a special offer on pitchforks and tourches for GTP members LOL
Lol i'll be buying one of those pitchforks for the burning if they dont patch this up good enough and i love the game!
I know what you're saying about online though, in the races ive taken part in its been very good and slightly refreshing....that is until someone joins mid way and crashes the host hehe.
Right now though i've put it to one side until the patch and dont play it online at all. If the patch is good though i'll be living online!
