Ok that's a complimentary read.
I guess we won't be able to judge the PROPER expert sim level until we hae the game in our hands.
As I said, expect a full review from us just after launch

Another Speedhunters blog:

"BTW some of you were asking about vinyls, paint jobs and stickers.

So to answer your queries: each car comes with a group of preset race liveries along with a set of preset colours. Additionally, one can paint the car or the individual body parts with a full range of custom colours and paint types including Gloss, Metallic, Candy, Pearlescent, Chrome, Matte and Flip (twin colour)."

"You can also make your own race livery too. And YES the logos and layouts can be mirrored from one side of the car to the other now along with new controls for sizing and placement. You can also determine if the stickers/vinyls are matte or gloss finished for tone on tone effects."

Bayfront Miami being the mid 80s Miami GP for the GTP Cars correct?
(maybe a champcar race aswell?)

by **CQR Aero** Fri 4 Mar 2011 - 8:57

It's probably just a circuit constructed on the bayfront. I may just be cynical though.

by nickyf1 Fri 4 Mar 2011 - 9:04

Bayfront was used for CART and IMSA. Itl end up being like long beach in GRID

by **Matt** Fri 4 Mar 2011 - 9:57

It's labelled a 'fictional' track so I doubt it'l be the real track you're thinking of.

by Crisis Nine Sat 5 Mar 2011 - 10:23

How bad is the first one? Curiousity got the best of me and I got a copy off eBay for 4 quid.

by **JAMIE ANDERS0N** Sat 5 Mar 2011 - 11:04

From what has been said its not so bad now to when it come out due to the updates

by **Matt** Sat 5 Mar 2011 - 12:49

It's actually more addictive than you think because the immersion level is so good with the sounds and viz effects.
Yeah there's a few wierd things like the ability to shovel opponents off the track and roll them dead easy but I don't anticipate that being in the new game as the onus is now on you to drive clean not dirty Razz

by Guest Sun 6 Mar 2011 - 16:25

by **Matt** Sun 6 Mar 2011 - 21:55

That looks more like it. Though the car seems a little 'floaty' under braking.
Graphically ooking really nice. Notice how after the impact in one of the chicanes, the Audi's wimg mirror seems to develop a shake at high speeds with the wind buffeting. Nice!

by Bob Dixon 76 Mon 7 Mar 2011 - 0:51

tbh thinking the physics look really bad,going to buy it ,then trade it in when colin mcrae comes out,that way people cant tell me how good it is,for me its got to be better than forza if i,m going to be serious about it.Truth be said i dont think anyone ere thinks it will be,unless your looking for something forza does,nt offer, in that case i can,t see it being longevity.sorry for being a hater but in all honesty it looks crud.
