I also believe someone earlier indicated there may only be one layout at Silverstone.
The official site states there are 4.
GP (Arena Circuit)
Bridge GP Circuit
International (2009)
National

Once again I have to say that it's absolutely the lighting that is selling these images to me. Liking it a lot.

by its troff Fri 11 Mar 2011 - 10:13

Indeed...love the bits of debris on the track

by TG Wormburner Fri 11 Mar 2011 - 10:48

This needs to come out. If it's anywhere close to these pictures I may put Forza away for quite some time and that is saying something.

by **Matt** Fri 11 Mar 2011 - 10:55

Pie in the sky thinking, I can see us doing things like....

GTX Class races with Veyrons, Huayras, Zonda R's etc
GT1 Championship Season 2?
GT3 Championship?
One make series? Golf GTi Mk1?
Formula Drift?

by nickyf1 Fri 11 Mar 2011 - 12:02

GT1 and Formula D definetally.

our future is looking rather good with this game!

by nickyf1 Fri 11 Mar 2011 - 14:07

As I said, believable handling, great track list and a livery creator. It could very well go hand in hand with Forza 4.

Played this game at PAX today with both the pad and on their movement simulator using a G25. The guy dd say it was in easiest mode but I did feel a difference from Shift 1. Still a bit floaty and still a but arcadey but it seemed pretty solid. Colour me impressed

by **Matt** Sat 12 Mar 2011 - 10:48

and if that's on the easiest setting that's a good sign indeed. Smile

Are the visuals as good as they seem?

by **Richy59** Sat 12 Mar 2011 - 12:47

Yeah the visuals are pretty awesome. Their test track is a small night time one in a GT3 Audi. I could only get a quick shot as the booth was pretty busy. Will hopefully get another go today.

by **Matt** Sat 12 Mar 2011 - 13:27

Go for it! Pretty sure I saw a pic of the Porsche 918 on one of the screens but unsure if that was Hot Pursuit or Shift.
Best of luck for today!

by AMR JSlim Sat 12 Mar 2011 - 13:46

Blackmagix is sending James over the pond to come and speak with the Dev's here in the UK, next week I believe. Any questions for the Devs?

Current list here:

-Tire Wear, how extensive is it?
-How will tire wear and damage affect endurance races if there are no pit stops?
-Why are there no pit stops? (Early hands on reported they were in, were those
incorrect?)
-Will track debris such as the rubber marbles create pick up and affect grip? Or are they
just cosmetic?
-Will we get the remaining FIA GT1 or GT3 tracks in the future for full use of the license?
-What is the current relationship of EA and Ferrari? Is there a chance we could see them
in the game as DLC?
-Will DLC packs be available for PC this time?
-What are your opinions on PC Mods for Shift?
-How different are the underlying physics build and assets from Shift 1 to this?
-Is it true the physics model is now the same for racing or drifting this time?
-Why are the tracks in game much wider than the real life counterparts?
-Is the customization different this time, i.e. down to individual body mods, or is it similar to the first game and done by packages?
-Will we get more garage slots this time, can we own every car in the game?
-Can we own more than one model of the same car for different tuning/upgrading?
-Are all cars able to be tuned this time, unlike the reward and loaner cars in the first one?
-Are there any racing rules or flags in effect this time?
-Have there been any changes or upgrades to the Photo Mode?
-Are the engine and transmissions sounds new or re-used from Shift?
-Can I please meet Patrick Soderlund and test out the BMW Z4 GT3?

by **Matt** Sat 12 Mar 2011 - 13:53

- How robust will the online racing aspect of the game be?
- Will NFS actively promote the stronger online series set up?
- How broad will the online racing perametres be? Can we expect Forza levels of adjustability?
