Indeed, still not sure it would work to play online through Steam though. If it does and the available servers are different between the two, that would be a pretty bad decision to split players up like that IMO. I don't think that's the case here though.
Just come back from what can only be described as a bumper car session at Hockenheim. It's very demoralising when you catch a guy on pace and then get past him, only for him to just ram you off the track at the next corner. Same dude did it to me on 2 seperate races. 3rd time I got wise and dummied him by going down the middle of the road and as I braked diving to the left and he sailed past. Left him to deal with his buddy who was doing the same trick.
Rofl :D Anyone ever tried playing Forza online? It's just like that..... I took to purposely getting a bad start at the beginning to get behind everyone :DQuote:

Funny thing happened in my first race at Suzuka last night. First lap and I'm towing a Virgin up to 130R and I look behind and I see a Lotus doing the same thing to me and I'm thinking this chicance is going to be rather interesting when we get there. So we turn into 130R at 320+ km/h and the dude in the Virgin stands on the brakes in mid-corner! So I climb on the brakes and dive to the right and somehow the Lotus goes through the middle of us, so I get back up to speed behind the Virgin again and he then brakes at 150m before the chicane, which is fine when you've gone full speed through 130R but at this slower speed (+/- 220 km/h) you can brake later so I swerve to miss this dude again and miss my braking point for the chicane and end up rubbing wheels with the Lotus into the chicance before I managed to spin off and avoid any further damage. Got going again and passed the Virgin and disappeared up the road. After the race I sent a message to the Lotus driver saying sorry for hitting him cos of the other mobile chicance and he responded that he didn't know he'd been hit, he thought he'd outbraked himself! So all was good there... :D
Great race reports!
Did praccy and qually at Monaco in career mode last night. Man, what a tough track! I quallied at 1:18.3 in the Virgin, 8th on the grid. Gonna do the race before The real Korea GP qualifying, tonight. Did some time trials in the Ferrari and got my time down to a 1:16.3. I think I can get into the 1:15's but I got tired from racing all night.
I got 3rd place in my league race over at the Red Sox Racing League for iRacing. We were at Homestead Road Course and it was pressure-packed!! I trimmed the car out, so I could be fast on the oval section. All was going well........until I caught the apron in turn 3 and did a "Spin and Win" alla Danny Sullivan.........except I didn't win, lol. I only lost one place and the guy in 2nd had an off later in the race. I was very lucky not to have put my Star Mazda into the wall.
Good racing night :)

Cool beans. Only problem is its submitted to Sony and Microsoft and they took their sweat merry time with the original release so it may only be next week.
Got my wheel yesterday and I'm loving it, I took some time to customize the sensitivity, seems like F1 doesn't support the entire 900degree for the wheel, just about going 90degree from the center would be the max steering I can do, but thats not bad. The kerbs feel pretty good, and I tried some manual shifting with no traction control and thats going to take a bit to get used to, for the time being I think I will start with auto and traction control enabled, guys what time are you playing, who's playing from US? I can join around 7pm mountain! PM me people!
