My first time in HPD. Raced in the same series last season in the Corvette which was great fun. Can't wait for the 2HR event on Sunday. Got a quali time of 1:47.1 using the fixed setup and low fuel of course. Some ridiculous times being set for pole, must be with a draft.

Also, Donington Park has been announced for next year, one of my favourite tracks

won my first road race today in the mx5,,, won by over 35 seconds aswell after 1st and 2nd were destroyed by a car they were lapping

Squidwert

Nice one Rossi. It should be not so hard to get the next one now.
And the second bit of good news. Bathurst to arrive in 2013

Rossi IRL

should be fun going around bathurst

ButcherOfNog

I cannot wait for Bathurst, hopefully they can also get Holden in as well.

Yes with Ultimate pay, Click Account Recharge at the top of the main page and you should be able to do it that way. I don't know how its done thou so let me know how you get on. It will save me having to put funds on my credit card.

i didnt go with it in the end...i didnt trust it.. i did top up with my 3v card so i can now download some things...

any advice on what to download,,i was thinking the lotus 79 and some tracks

Rossi IRL

never mind.. i ended up buying the:

• Lotus 79
• Williams F1

• Mid-Ohio
• Mosport
• Road America
• Road Atlanta
• Sebring
• Suzuka
• Watkins Glen

Ouch 58 mins remaining

Brad768

ooo let me know what the wiliams f1 is like, was one of the main reasons I bought the game was because of the f1 and hearing how customizable it is.
About to start my first race in 10mins, this will be interesting

Brad768

Well, first one went terrible. Spun out guy hit me head on at about 80mph and completly wrecked my car so I quit. Just completed my second race there and came 3rd well chuffed with the result . God this is so addicting, I've tried quite alot of racing games + sims but nothing gets your heart racing like this does. It needs constant concentration, unlike rfactor or gt5 where I have a music playlist I stick on when I do a race haha

Rossi IRL

have not tried the f1 yet but that lotus 79 is amazing,,, its so easy to drive

Rossi IRL

won my second road race today,,, thats 2 in 3 days,, i went a few months with no wins.

1 from the pits and 1 from the pole.

i got +0.17 for my sr

i'd say about €60/€70 there should be a promotion soon where you get a years sub for $49/€39

Rossi IRL

most cars are $12 and track are $15,, but there is a bulk offer .

i think its 10% off for 4 to 6 items ,,,20% off for 6-8 items and 25% off for 8+ items

I've been practising with it all day and I have to say I love it! I still have the base package so its the first powerful car I've driven in the sim, I have to say I prefer more powerful cars, slower cars put so much emphasis on being inch perfect, I prefer having an advantage with throttle modulation, plus, driving slower cars, i feel like i'm straining every muscle just willing the damn thing down the straights lol.

Having said that, haven't raced the Caddy yet, if I find that i'm miles off the pace I might push too hard and spin out on every corner! That might not be so much fun..

Search for Clive Lomax, that's me!

Just tried the Caddy around Laguna for about 5 laps, man, she's a big bitch to get slowed down! did a 1.31 something, Squidwert is down in the 1.26's man! that boys quick, my lines were a bit all over the shop but still!...

Just remembered how realistic it looks again, it might cost money, but its the best out there I think...
