Well, as Kev stated, the previous and current ISI sims... :doh:... I mean games weren't great in the physics department. I still play GTR2 from time to time, as I was just actually playing now with the V8SC Falcon round Vallelunga but the reason why I play them is because they're fun, good immersion, lots of tracks, lots of cars, all things I appreciate but I expect different with this Ferrari project.

I love all Ferraris so I'll probably be spending a ton of time in that game to drive all of them at some sort limit but considering that the feeling between GTR and GTR2 is quite different, being better, I'm hoping that the same advancement from GTR to the GTR2 and perhaps even more of an advancement since this is quite a special project due to the partnership with Ferrari that they will really maximise the ISI engine or better yet, make a new one that blows me away.

All hopes and wishes. Like most of mine, this probably won't happen

Quote from Intrepid :

BTW Leprekaun I didn't suggest he got his money from his dad...
that was someone else

I know you didn't. I was just stating that it was a possibility. I'm well aware that ajp said that

Hi all! well, I've been very interested in hearing about the developments of the new Blimey! Games project. I guess it has a lot to do with the fact that Ferrari is my favourite auto manufacturer by a long way . Anyway, I know how the ISI physics engine stinks but is there a possibility that they will go in a different direction to live up to the prestigious Ferrari?

Quote from viper-2007 :

so could karting actually make me a better LFS'R.

u must be a really good kart as ur amazing on LFS leprekuan

Now now , none of that "you're amazing Lep" stuff . Its just a matter of experience.

They both help each other out. When I did a bit of karting, made me better in LFS and vice versa. They share many of the same principles (racing lines, braking points, throttle modulation and general feel of the car to the kart) and then psychologically, OH MAN! thats where the good stuff starts, LFS has increased my concentration level greatly which in turn, helped me in karting.

There is one thing though about me that is true...



I'm Batman!

Quote from the_angry_angel :

Now how many crashes do you hear about here, because they were previously driving in LFS? None.

I would greatly disagree, I don't remember the exact threads but I definitely saw a few cases of "The car felt the same as in LFS, OH SH*T! thats new!" BANG!. We don't want to encourage anyone

As Intrepid was mentioning, there is KartSim which should be coming out sometime soon I guess, haven't read into it much but for now, I strongly suggest getting Michael Schumacher World Tour Karting. Aside from it being a fun game, IMO, its the closest you can get to real karting until the likes of KartSim, Kart Attack and Kart Champions come round.

Quote from viper-2007 :

Hi i was just wondering if playing lfs on my G25 (which is crap) can affect my karting as i get used to the 900degree on the G25 it can affect me driving 90degree turning in a kart could someone who does karting please back this up for me as i have the new season starting soon and i am quite worried. and to not waste space with another thread could someone help me with my G25 as i hate it its really twitchy and hard to race i got all right degrees for cars and i got 102% ffb affect

Thanks in advance

Well, stick with 270 Degrees lock, thats quite good for racing cars in general and not too different from karts. A good car to drive is the MRT5.

From personal experience, LFS has made me a MUCH better karter as I've gotten very close to track records with only 10-20 minutes practice first time on the track.

So, to answer your question, yes.

Quote from ajp71 :

Given his performance (admittedly I have no idea what he's like as a person but numbers talk) I suspect he's looking for another route to fame. Some people will do anything to become famous at huge expense, no up coming sports person who had a future would consider doing something that's almost certain to destroy any credibility they have. Did you watch Richard Hammond's interview with Evel Knievel? Seems rather similar to me.

Thats very true, some drivers care about fame waay more than being the best.

I haven't actually, no Top Gear in Egypt!!!

Well, the issue is not whether he's good enough or not but I believe that if he works hard, maybe he can get somewhere serious. Raikkonen and Hamilton are quite talented drivers so to them but for other drivers, sometimes it takes a lot more work to get ahead.

Thats another discussion, perhaps you're right Intrepid, maybe he's getting the money from Daddy but you know, the fact that he got the track record at a kart track in his first race, thats impressive but I suppose, there is the possibility to consider that that track record was nothing special.

I wish Jeremy the best of luck in his racing career, I remember someone told me when we were having that intense discussion about drivers sprouting up a bit later than others so maybe he is one of them, and maybe he isn't but I do hope he is.

Haha! thanks for that little childish dispute Intrepid and ajp .

To be honest, I agree with the idea that it could affect his career. I mean, there can be many bad outcomes if he did Big Brother. One of them might be a dispute between him and another celebrity and what does that say to the sponsors? "No, thanks" and then aside from that, he'll have to be very cautious as a person in general because if he does anything silly, people won't take him seriously in racing and honestly, just the fact that he IS doing it makes him look silly.

I can just imagine it now two F1 fans chattering to each other.

"Oh yeah, see that new guy Jeremy Metalfe" "Yeah, he seems alright but wasn't he the lad who was on Celebrity Big Brother?" "Yep, bloody idiot thinks because he's a celebrity that he can race in F1"

Yeah, Victor please keep us posted on this talent search competition. I'm very interested in starting in FBMW as I'm spending a ton of time practicing with your car .

Happy New Year to you all!

Thank you Mr. Widdow for that lovely opening post .

Happy New Year to you all!

Looks interesting . I'm pretty shite in the GTRs but I'll have a crack so that I can improve .

I will take the FZR please.

A little note, I'll be using a Shifter in this league so if any of you sissys want to be men, I suggest you do the same

I'll try to attend but no promises

Sorry to hear dude but thats school for you, screws you right in the ass when you're having even a bit of fun.

well, can't you host a LAN? if they're coming over with their PCs, no need for net connection to race against each other

hmm... come on Niall, we have to be realistic, even teams like Mercury can't get a seat in the MOE . Stick with BOTT

ah, DR wasn't good enough for me so you can count me in too.

Hmm... pretty stupid rat . I thought rats would look for warm places to stay but I guess this guy has got it the other way round

Ihab, please wait for the server renting for a bit. I will call you later today to discuss with you some ideas.

Cool poem but honestly, with each verse, I only read the new line in it after a while

Hi all! well, I'm the big 1 8 today . I looked at the birthday list at the bottom but my name isn't there .
