Demolition derby mode? Class. I didn't know about that being in the full game. I mentioned a few posts back that I used to play Destruction derby games on the PS1. I even bought a steering wheel for it although It was stupidly expensive at the time.

There is also a demolition derby mode, which believe me is a hell of a lot of fun and extremely chaotic!

Please say it is playable online?

Ugh, overtaking anyone who is semi-quick and laggy is hard as hell.

Was in this race just now with an italian and a spaniard ahead of me, in muscle cars, and I overtook one of them like 5 times only for him to warp and be a second ahead again. I'm guessng it mustve been some sort of hack, because he was still driving fast when i overtook him, he was just taking a crap line, then boom he pulls 30 yards from nowhere.

I finally get past and chase down the first place guy only to have him warp across the track and punt me into the tyres. So frustrating.

Hopefully we'll be able to create some UK only games in the full release.

You can not turn them off from the in game menus.

Someone mentioned (Nürburgring GP circuit) is that the full long one or just the cut down version (shorter)?

Nürburgring GP circuit, this the big long one?

Zogger said:
no it's the length of a grand prix circuit, i.e. a couple of minutes at most. I believe they chose not to use the full thing as it's in every game out there now and not amazingly exciting seeing it over and over

edit: the gp circuit is shown on wikipedia:

No fair!

How can they have the Chevvy Lacetti and not include the Top Gear Track! :mad:

I wanna race the Stig.

SkeeterUK · 16 May 2008 at 20:52

Ah missed them posts, cheers Darryn.

Shame tho cos none of the car games i have has the full Nurburging circuit.

Holy cow! you're completely cutting the corners!!

I didn't know that was allowed. In TOCA3 you'd get busted for doing that.

The racing line was spot on & in TOCA3 you need 4 wheels off the track to get busted

Oh, come on!

I've done a lap with those lines from a rear view and there's 4 wheels off of the track on a number of occasions.

Getting bored of the MP in the demo far to many idiots who's only aim is to knock you off the track.

Yeah.. those racers who dive up the inside of every corner so they can use you as a breaking assist really gets on my ****. It's not fair racing so I usually head back to the start line and wait for them. Vigilante justice at it's best

I can't play this online at the moment. Too much bad driving going on and a lot of it very deliberate. It's spoiling what is a very good game.

We'll get an OcUK race going when the game is released.

Darryn · 17 May 2008 at 15:55

OcUK races sound good to me.

Wonder if we will be able to make our own skins for the cars? and use them online, that would be fun.

dunker · 17 May 2008 at 18:48

just had a go on the demo this afternoon rather than my usual gtr2 or rfactor and i really like so i'll be ordering this

a few tweaks that could be done i think would be making the physics on the non-drift part of the game nearer the drift physics as on the other modes drifts feel like they catch themselves, maybe an extreme mode or something?

more sound options would be good as i found the thump of the car hitting after some air too loud and the engine not loud enough on my x-fi sb card.

best looking racing game on the pc so far i reckon and a lot of fun

ps. if you're listening cm people get the Nordschleife puulleeeez.

dunker · 17 May 2008 at 18:50

best place to order it? with the free aston dbr9? or there any better deals out there?

Off the track but on the green grip strip, so that's still ok
