Senna content coming soon?

[RACECAR]

Only 14 minutes away as I type this. Out of curiousity, how long does it take to install? Might as well be prepared for more waiting.

 

[SCER]

To anyone interested, the menus look stunning. Really well thought out and ultra-detailed.

 

[wowbaggerBR]

Installed and, well, the "new" 80s tracks are all over the place. The modern buildings are all there, which makes Brands looks the same thing as the regular version.

Not that I'm complaining. I learned my lesson: never wait for good content by PD.

So I'm not disappointed. Nor impressed.

I just spent 900,000 on driver suits and I liked it.. SMH

Youcan win them, BTW.

Perhaps these will be 'updated' further over time? PD actually are pretty good at the finer details on tracks so perhaps the revised layout idea was a later addition to the package?

It is certainly a little strange that the old layouts are transplanted onto modern environments.

The Lotus...is fast. More controlled than I'd hoped though. But it gets to 200 mph quick.

 

[NOSWaster]

Is the F1 in its qualifying trim?

Ya, another just mentioned it. I either didn't read well enough of was too impatient - either way, I'll recover and not ashamed to say again, I did like it

Unless that is a massive typo, that is just insane.

 

[CeeJay]

Oh no, I'm getting a little worried with the preliminary reports on the "80's" tracks..

 

[RACECAR]

Alright, now I'm only 10 minutes away from completely downloading.

I must say, I was not expecting it so soon. I was thinking I'd have to wait till 1:00 AM or 2:00 AM for it, pleasant surprise I must say.

 

[crowhop]

The Lotus has two liveries. Slight difference. Both black and gold.

I just beated you @RACECAR. You're too sloooooooow again.

I just downloaded the update and then downloaded another update in the game itself and then it told me the server is under maintenance and I can't get to the game. Not sure how people are playing.

Edit: Nvm, my wheel wasnt properly plugged in (all the plugs) so I couldn't press X. Controller wouldn't work either. Working now.

Really? What's the slight difference in them?

 

[bmac39]

Just drove the F3 car. They got the sound right. Totally right. Sounds great.

 

[J-KiLLA24]

Anyone wanna give some insight on the sound?

Edit: @bmac39, I hope you're telling the true.

I doubt. If they choosen time-trials since the begining, they knew that the times would only make sense in the older layouts.

And I know what kind of excuse we're going to hear over this: "you know, there aren't much current references, so we couldn't match our high level of perfectionism in 3D modelling".

Yeah... right.

On the upside, the Lotus looks so cool, so alive, so beautiful. I'd marry that car.

I was absolutely excited to see the alternate to the "Team Lotus Special"

 

[diegorborges]

One have Team Lotus Special written on it, the other one doesn't.

 

[SCER]

This has been worth the wait.

 

[scca_ziptie]

Even just using a DS3 (don't want to bust out the sim yet) the F3 car is amazing amounts of fun and Brands old school is great!

 

[crowhop]

Really? What's the slight difference in them?

One says Team Lotus Special. The other just has gold circles in place of Team Lotus Special.

I wouldn't completely reject the notion. We'll see in time, but I don't think they're done with the 80's tracks just yet.

No Lotus base-model.

Apparently, the buildings of both tracks (and surroundings) are the same as the modern layouts

this is a picture of Brands Hatch' 80s

Ha, and the people were bitching about how PD didn't have the proper Tobacco-less livery.

 

[Sixflags48]

Cool

That post, your picture, so much yes right there.

 

[danardif1]

One says Team Lotus Special. The other just has gold circles in place of Team Lotus Special.

So one is the Brands Hatch version and the other the Monza one. At Brands that year the Lotus has the gold circles as seen in the photo above, as tobacco sponsorship was already banned in the UK, and then for Italy where it was still allowed we get the written text, ironically showing 'Team Lotus Special' as since then there is the blanket ban on tobacco logos...
