Man, the 97T is all kinds of awesome. I was surprised to know it has customization options! Changeable wings and other tidbits! I drove the car without any aids and boy does it rip the tarmac as you slam the throttle. The low to mid engine noise is just amazing, with that turbo whine. Shifting is good, too; man, this car is just loads of awesome. I'd be hot-lapping a lot of tracks at the moment, but I'm a little tired after focusing in Golding those events without driving aids.
The F3 car is neat, too. The engine sample is 90% similar to the X2014 Junior, although from a third-person replay view, you can hear some more throatiness coming from it- I think that's the word for it. Neat little car~
The kart is nice, too, in terms of its awesome design. Although PD re-used the same engine sample for the Jr. and 100 karts, so hearing this kart whine at 16k RPM or so isn't exactly pleasant to the ears.
All in all, this is a spectacular update. The Tribute is absolutely excellent in terms of presentation, with the contemporary colors in the menus and the monochromatic shading used on the cars in the background; that was a splendid sight for the eyes to see the car transition smoothly from its shaded background state. The slideshows are a nice touch; cool how they integrated them into the loading sequence.
Just a fantastic update, and a great tribute to Ayrton Senna, conducted wonderfully by PD. I'm sure it sounds like I'm overly optimistic, but they have blown my expectations to the curb. Well done~
