I don't see anything wrong with the video of the tire puncture at all. If you've watched the Belgium Grand Prix just yesterday where Sebastian Vettel's left rear wheel ran over Sutil's front wing, the tire certainly got a puncture, but it never disintergrate/explode like you guys are saying. The tire also loosens up from the wheel hub/brake assembly just like the video shown above of the game.

I've been watching this from the background... but after reading this, it's a minor detail, however I can't see myself buying F1 2010 next year :\

-_-

Just saw the OP date.

Still interested in this, as long as Codemasters can muster up some of their passion for simulation and accuracy from the past. Dirt, although for a different market, has.. gone a little downhill. It needed its own name SEPERATE from Colin McRae, in my opinion.

The tyre puncture is impressive, its been waiting a long time to be included in a race 'sim'. It does seem slightly arbitrary though, lacking in dynamic. Simply moving in an opposite direction of steering as opposed to with grip

cant remember if this has been mentioned but has Codies released a date for this game on PC as yet?

It's coming out on the same day as the 360 and PS3 versions: September 24th. ;)

Fair point but the speed in the game appears to be far faster than Vettel was going. It's not a deal-breaker, tbf, as I won't be playing the game on full realism anyway - I'm not that hardcore :p

Any good prices of the game? Still don't know if I'll go PC, xbox or PS3 version yet...

PC won't run the game at full settings on 1028x768 resolution so wondering if I should just get a console version. Now I'm not bothered about online play for this but I am gearing (see what I did there? :shifty:) towards the PS3 as its on a bigger screen and 5.1 sound :blush:

edit: Ps3 and xbox are in different rooms.

If you want more realism from that tire puncture, go race a real car. This is a video game. rolleyes.gif

So you're saying to go buy a real F1 car then get a puncture and crash? Yeah, great idea. :rolleyes:

I saw the trailer in the cinema yesterday (by the way, Scott Pilgrim rocks) and it looks amazing - girlfriend, despite the text saying "Actual Gameplay" asked, "Is that real life?" :laugh:

Good thing she has big boobs.

You better hope she doesn't that post! :rofl:

OK, this may be a bit off-topic, but it is F1-related, and it is free:

Ferrari's releasing a free PC game very soon:

Ferrari has announced their Virtual Academy 2010, giving Formula One fans all around the globe access to a true-to-life simulation of their current Ferrari F10 Formula One race car.

The Virtual Academy will include Ferrari?s current Formula One challenger as well as three laser-scanned (!) tracks ? Fiorano, Mugello & the N?rburgring. The Academy comes with a global hotlap competition as the fastest drivers can win Ferrari merchandise every week. The five quickest drivers will even be invited to Maranello, participating in the official Ferrari Driving Academy.

The simulator does not just look pretty stunning as you can see below, Ferrari also promises a very realistic approach as the car has been designed based on official CAD data. In terms of physics, Ferrari has not cut any corners either, promising the most accurate virtual reproduction of a Ferrari F1 single-seater in computer simulation to date. Ferrari?s Formula One drivers have been heavily involved with testing the virtual car, making sure the driving dynamics and tyre behaviour is as realistic as possible.

The simulator will be using the same setups as the real-life F10, players will be able to match themselves against the top times set by Ferrari?s world class drivers. Furthermore, the simulation also includes a replay system and real-time global leader boards to track your progress.

This is stunning news as Ferrari is the first Formula One team to give sim racers access to an official simulator, the ingredients sound very promising and could provide for a new benchmark in open-wheel simulation.

Download of the Ferrari Virtual Academy will be available starting September 9th, for more visit the official website.

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.
