It's the Sebastian Vettel seasonal event. Take the X2010 Vettel round Suzuka. And because he won the world title at Suzuka, they've gone easy on the target times, so you'll easily get gold if you just keep the car on the track. :p

Bolded for emphasis. Holy ****ing god damned ****. :rofl: I was able to get Bronze. I am just way, way all over the place with this car. I think to get Gold I would have to bust out my wheel. :laugh:

It is insane how fast it is.

And speaking of fast, seriously it is CRAZY how much faster the loading times are and the menu system is, although it does make me wonder why was it not like this in the initial release, regardless it is a welcome addition. :yes:

To get a gold time using the pad, i basically knocked up all the assists and took it easy around the corners, it's very achievable that way.

AB you have to buy a Formula One GT car from the Online Used Cars section. I picked mine up the other week when they were half price at 2.5 mil

I found racing hood cam or bumper cam easier for a start. The cockpit on this thing is too narrow and a whole view of the car is distracting (for me at least). Still took me a good 30 mins to get gold :laugh:

Like AT I bumped some of the assists up, but not all of them, and not fully up. I'll try check my settings and get back to you.

damnit :(

For sure :p Although I didn't have 2.5m then!

Personally, I think it still loads races up in the same time; it's just that they've tried to disguise the loading time a bit by loading up the track first, but then if you try to start straight away, you have to wait for the cars to load up, and they take much longer than the track. The only real upside to the new loading system if you want to tweak your car's setup, you can start it quicker now, and when you're finished, everything should hopefully be loaded up (although I reckon it loads the cars up a lot slower or not at all when in setup mode :p ).

that's all they've done...

Yep think you might be right there, although overall it does seem a little faster.

However there's no doubting the menus load quicker, which were a real pain before (especially tuning/garage).

Hmmm, sounds like a solid theory, but I swear I started the race right away. I also felt the restart race option (which i was doing A LOT yesterday with the Red Bull car) was much faster as well. Perhaps it was all in my head. And if it was, then it worked what they did. LOL

chances are is just because you did that red bull race that only has one car. so it would seem like it does load faster. do a race with 12 cars and it'll seem like nothing changed.

Anybody else feel like PD slipped up a bit? They've announced Spa as DLC, but there's a new FGT seasonal event already. This should of been released next week, and included Spa as one of the races imo. Oh well...

I think I've got you guys added already, so go ahead and race my Bobs if you want to level your drivers up and earn some cash... (Y) I'm pounding round the endurance races atm. No way I could attempt these without mid-race saves.

i did one race that took me like 4 hours or so to do (just hit pause and left the ps3 on) but never wanted to do that again. thank god for mid races saves cause now i can start tackling the tons of others i have left.

I have a problem. Just resumed the enduro I was 2hrs into, and my car is now driving itself around Tsukuba with no rubber left on it's tires. It's like watching B-Spec, but with no input; no way of telling him/me to pit the damned thing.

And now I'm being overtaken by slower cars.

Bug? Looks like I'm quitting this race then. What a waste of time.

Picked up the GT Foruma One for 5m (cried when I seen that balance come off) last night before bed (logging in to get my consecutive XP boost). Looking forward to trying out my first F1 car in GT!

Speaking of the Formula GT car, I take back what I said about it being more like an F3 car; turned out I had the power limiter at 54% to do a restricted race with it. :p (I'm impressed I actually won the first season event with just 54% of the engine! :laugh: ) It's definitely like an F1 car (maybe even an old-fashioned IndyCar) at full power. Tricky to flick it through tight corners without spinning out though, even on racing tyres.

The UK pricing for the DLC has been revealed.

The Course Pack (with Spa-Francorchamps and the two karting spaces) is £3.19.

The Racing Car Pack (with the X2011, and the new karts and all those touring cars) is £6.29.

The Racing Gear Pack (helmets and racing suits) is £1.59.

The Paint Pack (100 new colours) is £1.59.

And the Complete Pack (everything mentioned above in one big pack) is £9.49.

So, they dropped the ball a little bit, but not as badly as I expected. We're paying just under $15, so only $3 more than the Americans. Could have been worse. :p

Pain pack? Sounds interesting ;) Hopefully a PSN+ day one discount as well :D

Whilst I realise that it is quite a bit of content I feel that the fact the game itself has gone platinum makes this seem rather over priced. You can pick up the game now for around £17 and then they are asking over 50% more for 3 tracks, a few cars and other crap.... No doubt I will still be buying it. My Signature edition SLS model is still on show in my lounge. :D

The one thing I would love is somewhere to store a seat. Would just be perfect then!

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
