Never fully understood those sequential gearboxes. On the upshifts there is no clutch usage by the driver himself , yet on the downshifts he is performing a usual heel-and-toe downshift?
I thought sequential gearboxes meant the driver didn't have to use a clutch himself on the upshift or downshift. A simple blip on the throttle on each downshift is enough to maintain revs.
Or am I thinking of a completely different gearing system here?

Exactly, it's just preserving the equipment. If you know what you're doing you can change gears in any gearbox without the clutch by blipping the throttle, you're gonna destroy it in no time but it can be done.
A "sequential" box can be in several configurations, in this example it's just a straight cut dogbox wich means that instead of helical gears they are straight cut gears(that's where the whine comes from), you can upshift while flat on the pedal but still have to blip it because the ECU doesn't do it for you.

Heres a proper sequential:

A top-end gearbox from XTRAC costs more than a GT3 Cup.

Lol! That's funny, but the worst part it's that it is true!

I just watched the SRT interview with Andy at Gamescom. This is going to be a long year for us PS3 only people.

Is there a bug with the clouds? They are moving faster than the car. It almost looks like the clouds are being seen from the rear view of the car, moving away from it.

That video made me put money aside for new PC
I will build a new system on Haswell CPU which are to be released in Q1/2013.

What pCars build are you running?
Also what AMD driver are you using?
I found the latest build to be a massive improvement 👍.
I still have flickering when Reflections are set to ultra (high is fine) but currently that's all that seems to cause it for me. Everything else I can max out or choose a setting to my liking and not get the flickering like it was a few builds back.
I'm on the latest build with 12.9 beta AMD driver.
Cheers Shaun.

It's the 60x timecycle. You can set 1x, 2x, 10x and 60x 👍

I've been completely ignoring news on this game because I was under the assumption that it was a PC only community built game, like a MUGEN for racing games. I just found out this game is coming to consoles, so I've just been looking into this game tonight. After all the info and data and interviews I've seen, my jaw is on the floor. Variety in racing like GT5 but an even more varied selection of tracks, and graphics like that? PD better be paying attention, and ready to step their game up graphically if games that look like Project Cars can get their console gameplay as good as GT5's.
Graphically SHIFT 2 was amazing, and this looks even better. But physiscs and gameplay wise.....well I got Shift 2 for free from Plus, and a week was all I could give that game with that gameplay before deleteing it and going back to GT5. I'm rooting for Project Cars. If they can get the gameplay down and expand the car selection, they'll have a day 1 customer in me. And WATKIN'S GLEN, RICHMOND and BRISTOL?!?!?! WOOO HOOO!!!!
All I know is, I wish GT5 handled like GT5 and had all GT5's content but LOOKED like Project Cars.....or even Shift 2 for that matter. They are the driving game graphics kings currently. Anyone arguing GT5 or Forza as best looking isn't paying attention to these guys.

SMS's plan is to out do every racing game out and upcoming. And so far they are doing a damn good job. If I'm honest, the sneak peak we have at the Seta Tire Model, though it is only on the Formula A, it's already far surpassed GT5. And don't worry, it feels nothing like shift 2.
