got the demo of race driver grid last night.

can't really say much as my PC doesn't really like it (poor old thing)

the drifting is cool, much better than need for speeds effort. I think it will be much better when a steering wheel or controller is used.

any one else tried it where it actually runs more than 30 seconds at a time?

yeah, i want to try it on the console before i buy it.

i have a feeling its going to have an arcadey feeling and have the same shitty storyline with fictional series in it.

the drift is fun, and the graphics are great. The crashes look awesome

when i play with all the graphics on low i get really bad frame rate every 30 seconds for 5-10 seconds (3-4 fps)

the replays after the races look awesome aswell, a good camera on the rear bumper, so you can see when you are using handbrake on entry of a corner

I've been playing it on the PS3 - drifting is great fun in it - not as easy/cheesy as Need for Speed's effort, handling to/while drifting is MUCH better than NFS, damage and car getting dirty is great much better than Forza 2, graphics is good, the replay is fun to muck around with.....

The circuit racing in this game is... RUBBISH! The car's handling/physics is way out of whacked.

All i had to do was see a few you tube clips to see how **** this game is.

It seems more arcadey than Daytona at timezone. Makes me sick. All these panzies concentrate on these days is F***ING graphics.

If ferarri challenge is also like this im dead set gonna sell my PS3 and go all out on my PC. Thats where the REAL car games are.

IMO

This is what NFS SHOULD have been.

I find the drifting in this to be quiet fun but as mentioned the Circuit racing has alot left to be desired.

Either way i'll probably still purchase this one and if its bad after the 1st week i'll take it back on EB's 7 day return policy and put the money on Metal Gear Solid

iv been playing this demo on 360 for a couple of days now and i cant stop playing it!

the drifting is awesome, as for the circuit racing, the BMW one is boring as bat s**t but the mustang track is great fun even if you just try to have a massive crash to watch the cars fly everywhere, its a hell-of-a-lot-a-fun

3 thumbs up from me :woot:

    • I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.
    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
    • Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.
    • hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
    • wow, a completely stock GTR! I've got to admit, I have no idea from what you are describing....do you have  any idea where the "thump" comes from, and are you certain it is the HICAS light not something else like the cat overheat light?
