If you're of the digital pre-order persuasion, there's 10% off via the Microsoft Store at the minute. Other storefronts are available and may be cheaper. Come back soon for more half-arsed buying advice. I did buy something else the other day, that something being Project Cars 3, a game I would neve...

Are we all shaken to our very core by the discovery that the INDYCAR title from Motorsport Games has now slipped to 2024? Who among us could ever have foreseen etc? To prepare myself for the level of quality I'm expecting from the final product (let's pretend there's going to be a product for now), ...

Apologies for the above. Not sure if it's because I was using multiple quotes or if there was some kind of character limitation, but I've been trying to post that reply as a single message for 4 days and getting a 500 error every time.

No love for the INDYCAR race? That was cracking excitement, with a brilliant but unexpected win by Ericsson. If INDYCAR keeps having races like that while F1 conducts Red Bull victory laps like Bahrain, can INDYCAR capitalize and grab some of the wayward, bored fans? I hope so. My income could depe...

As for the NASCAR booth, Danica Patrick never will be a good announcer. She never had a technical bone in her body when she drove Cup cars, she's not a nice person who will share the spotlight with anyone, and she does ZERO homework. That's not opinion; it's fact from working in this business for 3...

Interest will remain high if Verstappen and Red Bull remain perfect. There will be curiosity about whether the team can run the table for the season, something nearly achieved by McLaren 35 years ago when Senna and Prost combined to win 15 of 16 races. But if Red Bull loses early yet regains its do...

Well, then. When Mercedes were at their most dominant, we at least had the novelty of never being exactly sure whether Rosberg or Hamilton might win. That we're not afforded the same level of choice when it comes to Red Bull means that, unless Ferrari remember how to find their backside with both ha...

Last night, I made the mistake of watching Alpine's launch event - 10 minutes of quality content crammed into just 90 - and learned the following: - The car will be blue, except for when it's pink. - British radio personalities with no prior F1 knowledge will struggle mightily to pronounce the name ...

Certainly one of the greatest endings to a match I think I've ever seen. For a good 70 minutes or so, it was so hugely one-sided that France seemed to be in need of tactical advice along the lines of, "Lads, the match has started." Credit to them for showing the strength of character needed to get b...

To the one person reading this thread who does not already own AMS, AMS 2, Assetto Corsa and Assetto Corsa Competizione, go and buy them now. Christ, I'll buy them for you at this price:

Well. This is odd. Usually on these occasions, I can point to a bunch of tactical errors, bits where we let Croatia have the ball for an hour or decided that Owen Hargreaves on his own might beat Portugal (which, in fairness to the bloke, he had a bloody good go at). But this... I mean, we were good...

The activity within this thread of late probably just about sums up the last few months of four-wheeled motorsport... The F1 season dribbles its way to a conclusion this weekend with the big unresolved issue being that of who'll finish as the highest-placed loser. Max has used his platform to remind...

Finally figured out how to get a street stock around Kokomo reasonably quickly. Run the top, then run the top some more, then stay there until the next lap starts and repeat. Cracking this code on what was my 3rd visit to the place in Career made me far, far too happy. The speed with which I got my ...

Trust me, matey: WoO is worth 50 quid, and then some. GREAT game. Got it downloaded tonight. Had time for a quick race at Volusia and another at Kokomo in 360 Sprints, then a race at Eldora in the Street Stocks I should have used in the first place. Initial thoughts: - I'm not especially good at lo...

Ok, so when are we going to try and resurrect a DSP Poker night or WOO League?

I don't own the game, nor does it seem to be available physically here, nor do I want to pay 50 quid for it digitally. But if there's a Poker Night, I will forget all of those things and make sure I'm there.

GTR Revival? Ian Bell - Something Unique and massive coming. @bell_sms 11:38 AM · Sep 21, 2022 · Twitter Web App Decided to make the follow up to GTR2 with the original team. Myself, Stephen Viljoen, Andy Garton, Stephen Baysted, Henrik Roos, Johan Roos, Vik Klomiets everyone of note who made GTR2 ...

Automobilista 2 has just become my new favourite thing in the world. I've been meaning to give it a proper go for a little while now - Steam reckons I hadn't booted the game since November - and the release of v1.4 seemed like as good an excuse as any. Since we're also rapidly approaching the point ...

Remember bdoughty? I think he came over from OS and stirred some stuff up, but mostly kept us all up to date on the goings on of video gaming. Anyone heard from him? Not heard from Brent since last spring, when he nuked his account at Digital Gaming Nation. Up until then, I would have told you he'd...

My favourite part of it all is that even on your initial test of the absolute dream set-up, you still found time to be annoyed with yourself over how you exited Malmedy.

Big news last night: Alex Palou is going to drive for Ganassi and McLaren at the same time in 2023. Looking forward to the technological advances that'll make his Herculean feat possible. Elsewhere, can Ferrari rally to win a championship they've spent 4 months doing their utmost to lose? It'll help...

Gave the trial a quick look last night. Just a couple of races and a quick look at the supercars. This was on an XBox controller with all assists off so your experience may vary, but while the fundamental handling model is the same as it ever was, you'll notice a couple of differences. Firstly, the ...

Apologies for the late shout, but just a quick note to let you know that if you happen to watch any of this weekend's Le Mans coverage across Discovery's network, you'll find that they've taken the world feed commentary. No more will you recoil in horror at the realisation that these lucky competiti...

Terry, they've taken a fair number of steps to try to address the grinding concerns (you get 6 million credits for achieving all Gold on the Circuit Experience at the Nordschleife, for example), but waiting for the Sophy AI feels like the way to go. I'm hoping there are races later on where I'll nee...

Update coming next week for this, a game I'd completely forgotten existed:

https://www.eurogamer.net/konami-detail ... -next-week

Now available on Game Pass and EA Play for those who successfully waited it out. My impressions of this haven't changed a jot since I last posted - still Codies F1, still very much an iterative release, still a blast.
