Will Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 It's Wiill, the PS3 is setup on my desk at work so just give me a shout anytime you want to play.
Retro_Link Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 GT Review - 8.6 They mention the Pit Stop bug, and freezing issues... Didn't realise the whole of pit stops were automatic, that's dissapointing!! Sure I guess there's the problem of potentially over running your pit box on entry, but the game could have guided you in and then let you carry on from there, it would have been fun!
Charlie Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Thought I'd go for one last race before returning it to Blockbuster tonight. Was having the race of my life, pitted from 8th (as a Lotus, think it was Shanghai)... Came back out into last position after letting 6 cars go past me in the pitlane. Definitely not buying it.
Emerald Emblem Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 (edited) So disappointed, I had a terrible Q2 meaning I started from 17th place on the grid, so I went for the long stint on the prime while finishing the race on the option, it appeared to be working a treat, pitted in from 5th after almost everyone else had, I came out in 14th place, but being on a fresh set of option tires I was making good progress, sometimes going a little wide and losing the place I earned a few corners before, on lap 11 of 12 I found myself behind Trulli whom was in the last points position, him being on some worn prime and me on my most part fresh options. I caught up to him on a long left hander, I can outbreak him easily and was going to try getting him round the outside, but outbreaked myself going into the chicane and went wide onto the grass, this was pivotal as I ending up losing some ground and had to make it back up on the final lap. I got right behind him at the last few corners but couldn't find what I needed meaning I finished 11th. 1 mistake cost me a points finish. Needless to say despite the result I wuvved it.

Will Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 If anyone fancies a game in the next hour or so give me a shout. I'll be playing for a while I think.
Nicktendo Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Call me insane, but I absolutely LOVE Valencia, it's one of my favourite tracks...!
Goron_3 Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Call me insane, but I absolutely LOVE Valencia, it's one of my favourite tracks...! Funny you should say that because I hate Shanghai when it's on TV but god it's such a fun track with a brilliant middle sector! Bahrain and Abu Dhabi are still shit though.
James Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Yeah Bahrain is fucking wank, it's too messy and not smooth at all, I like barcelona's sweeping corners also melbourne grand prix is good but i'm only upto race five so i got many more to try out. Why is there no qualifying 1,2 and 3 or am I missing something?

I love Barcelona as well, but dear God they have ruined the final sector. The chicane at the end is such a pain. I don't mind Bahrain or Abu Dhabi, in fact, I like all the tracks. There's something really satisfying about learning them, getting into the groove and nailing a good lap no matter what circuit you're on. I love this game.
Emerald Emblem Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) Bump PS3 and 360 players, this Sunday I think we should play online at Suzuka after the Japanese GP Start time: 7ish View: Cockpit view only DRL (Dynamic Racing Line): Off Race set up: Quali and Race Management options: Tyres and Fuel Team performance: Realistic If you are in, Try joining the lobby's round 6:50. I will open one on the PS3 version and would someone with the 360 version volunteer to do that lobby. One last thing, be sure to state which team you will be in if you want to take part, I'll be in the Williams. PSN ID: EmeraldEmblem Edited October 9, 2010 by Emerald Emblem
MadDog Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 Doesn't the race start at 7? I'd play, but I seriously hate cockpit view. Visibility is awful.
Emerald Emblem Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 Regardless, there haven't been any other responses to this, so I'll call it off now, since I've got stuff to do.
MadDog Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Is anyone having trouble with trophies not unlocking? The one were you have to set 3 times in all 3 practice sessions. I've done this many a time, and I've never actually got it. Do you need to do it in Grand Prix mode or something?
Ramar Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 This game hates me, been playing a bit today. Got my best finish to date at Instanbul, finishing 8th. On to Montreal and miraculously qualified in poll, thank you mr weather man! Just done the race and finished a respectable third, Alonso out did me in the pits and Hamilton over took me on the very last lap. I cross the finish line well chuffed with my first podium finish... Only for the score board to flash up 18th... WTF I didn't get any penalties, didn't crash into anyone, for the large majority of it I was out in front... don't get that at all.
James Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Silverstone is a bag of spanners, i can't pick out the racing line anywhere the first corner I know i should do it nearly full speed but I choke and the rest is a mess. Rubbish!!! I had that luck in the Canadian grand Prix with the rain, lool. Finsihed pole and then got knocked back 5 places for pit lane speeding, grrrr. Still managed to win the actual race in the wet though! fist victory for me.
Emerald Emblem Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Catalunya is my weakest track yet. Took forever to find a decent lap and luckily that was in Quali and that was only 19th, in a virgin mind. The race is wet, just gonna find time to actually do the race now.
Murr Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Well I'm on Singapore now (still in my first season).... I fucking hate it. Love watching it y'know in real life, Fucking hate racing around it on this game.
Emerald Emblem Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Well I'm on Singapore now (still in my first season).... I fucking hate it. Love watching it y'know in real life, Fucking hate racing around it on this game. I hated the long first corner. Car just doesn't wanna go round it fast enough at first, but you'll get there.
Domstercool Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Singapore didn't go well for me neither in my first season. No points! Placed somewhere in the last quarter
Emerald Emblem Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 (edited) I came 23rd in Catalunia's wet race, really gutted as i was high as 14th cause cars in front kept spinning out, a Virgin is almost undrivable in extreme wet conditions. But now to Monte Carlo, Practice went terribly and I crashed out, accidentally left it at short race weekend so straight into Qualifying and it was extremely wet, even worse right? I lost my front wing first flying lap, went in and tried again, I somehow got round in a 1:27, I waited to see what a fast car would do and Button got a 1:29, my jaw dropped as for my first proper flying lap round Monte Carlo, in wet conditions and driving a Virgin I had blitzed the fastest times of the top teams and that's where I stayed after again losing my front wing going for an uneeded attempt to improve. But the Race is dry, I really appreciate how difficult racing a bottom teams car really is while trying to maintain the pole position I found myself in. Edited November 15, 2010 by Emerald Emblem
