Gerard, my mate and I bought this from England after playing the Addon SimBin developed for the F1 series.

Having played this and GT4...well, GT4 is a con. It is just kiddie platform crap in comparison! I checked with EB and they had no idea the sim existed, let alone plans to sell in Oz.

I have a rig setup with a Logitech MOMO FF wheel, a seat with 2 impulse drivers for vibration feedback and good speakers from Hercules. I didn't bother with the other gameplay levels but went straight to pro. Some who play GT4 have tried and completely fail to control the cars.

Unfortunately I don't get enough time to play online much but that is a lot of fun. Overall I find it a good substitute while the track car is off the road. Now to get my mate online and whup his butt again :D

Awesome stuff... sounds like you got a sweet as setup!!!

One site said a possible release date for aus was may 7th, then i read another site saying it will not be released due to poor market research.

I even asked at a gamestore and had the same answer ( what game is that) they had never heard of it.

I havent tried the online mode yet, deffinately be getting around to it this weekend though!!

It's much more polished in the final release, and even the english release has been improved over the german copy (which I also have).

Online racing leagues are brilliant and dispose of the AI BS that makes them boring with the added advantage of competing toward a goal.

When we get a few with the game I'll set up a small league. We can hook up every couple of weeks for a race.

I've got GTR FIA GT Racing, what can I say but this game is f*ckin awesome. Forget trying to play this game without a wheel. I use a Logitech Momo FF, and went straight to simulation mode with all assists off except traction control (man is it hard to keep straight with it off) Only had it a few days and for the 1st time tonight played it with another mate on a server we setup. What can I say but its kickass

This game is no arcade crap thats for sure, its a pure simulation, the best I have ever played. It has it all, try going hard on the 1st lap with the tyres cold you will spin, tyres go off if you don't treat them right, ie too much wheelspin etc. Do a donut and you'll blow a tyre in no time. Go off line and there is no grip, you understeer off the track etc etc.

The sound in this game is awesome also, you can hear your front tyres scrubbing with too much lock on and you understeer off the track. You really need to feed the throttle on or lookout it will spin. You really have to drive these cars unlike all other race games where they just seem so easy after playing this.

I'd be keen to play in a GTR FIA GT Racing league and I'm sure I can get some Aussie's in from our clan www.r2clan.com to give you guys a run for ya money. Like I said I've only had it a fews days and in between spinning have so far managed a best lap of Spa in 2:13.3s

Anyone who wants to see this game in action, I have made an in game video, racing the Ferrari 550 around Spa, its 100meg (ouch says those poor 56'kers)is in DivX format, with the obligatory huge crash and some donuts/burnouts/fishtales at the end.

Go and get this game now, forget GT4 it pales in comparison to this game, its a true simulation not some acarde kiddies game.

Let me know when some of you guys get it and we'll hook up and have some races on a private server we setup. Just had another game tonight, what can I say but this game is awesome, Go and get in now, right now, but make sure you have a wheel, cause its virtually impossible to play without one. You can play arcade mode, but you may as well not bother buying this game if you play arcade mode only. Its simulation mode where this game comes into its own.

I also use a force feed back seat (yep, I'm a nerd) with 2 aura interactor drivers mounted. One behind the small of the backk and one under the seat. Really enhances the experience. I also intend to get the TrackIR to allow mw to use my head to pan the view.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
