This ep sounds interesting. I would really like to see the Gran Turismo segment.
Should be good.
Any idea's on the car that could become F1's biggest threat?

I wonder if they'll use wheels when the play GT4. Hopefully the segment proves that video game racing has nothing to do with real racing.... images/smilies/wink.gif

Would be interesting to see Tiff's comments on Gran Turismo images/smilies/smile.gif

it's still better to have an unreal car with realistic handling, than the other way around images/smilies/tongue.gif

anyway, back to topic: i looked at current FG episode's intro in slow motion, and there is really an A1 GP car in few shots

Viper007Bond · March 23rd, 2005, 07:08 PM

OMG @ GT race. That'll be kick ass.

Twinnie · March 24th, 2005, 12:44 PM

a1 gp is just a cross between f1 and indy it's still just as restricted and i'll bet no fun to watch, they need freedom! g suits and huge amounts of grip with every device under the sun to keep them on the track is better to watch then f1 is today but this post belong elce where...

there is a good reason for restrictions... it makes racing close, and more exciting...

of course the technology allows to make stupidly fast cars, but races won't be interesting anymore, because most drivers simply wouldn't dare to make an overtaking maneuvre while enduring 10 g lateral force

I hate to say this but FG always takes a back seat to TG images/smilies/smile.gif

infiniti · April 4th, 2005, 05:48 PM

cant wait to see it images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Renesis · April 4th, 2005, 09:50 PM

I'm anxious to see it, BTW, 2 weeks back to back with some SL stuff? meh

but the Gran Turismo part should be cool

lwells · April 4th, 2005, 09:55 PM

Didn't Vicki voice part of GT4...? Probably gave Fifth Gear an "in".

LW.

static · April 4th, 2005, 09:58 PM

Firecat · April 4th, 2005, 10:03 PM

Yeah VUK has it done, and is in the process of getting it to the seeders. We may have to post the link to the torrent somewhere else, since Viper is MIA.
