Rockmunky · 1 Nov 2006, 16:34 (Ref:1755421)

I'm down to about the low 1.40's with my Leon and mouse.

Robbe · 1 Nov 2006, 20:47 (Ref:1755637)

My best time has been 01:37 with the BMW.

That's at least faster than Romanini in the warm-up in Brands.

But it's far away from good realistic times. (Thompson 01:33.518 )

Rockmunky · 1 Nov 2006, 21:28 (Ref:1755662)

Well, it's better than demolishing the real lap records set by the pros.

chrisp2006 · 1 Nov 2006, 23:06 (Ref:1755751)

down to 1.39.466 still can't put a lap where i get all the corners right together

I think he only did that kind of time in the test session the practice sessions and qualifying were mainly 1.34s and 1.35.s

Sodemo · 2 Nov 2006, 01:02 (Ref:1755801)

I did a 1m 38s time, but have hardly played it.

I think im loosing time on the last section, that blind right hander i just cant get right to get the momentum for the next two.

chrisp2006 · 3 Nov 2006, 11:57 (Ref:1757095)

braking for Paddock is the hardest I find when the car looses stability

chrisp2006 · 3 Nov 2006, 13:51 (Ref:1757138)

1.38.845 only a slight improvement althoug the frame rate is slow in places affecting my judgement

Rockmunky · 3 Nov 2006, 15:35 (Ref:1757186)

Paddock is a tricky beast, it's hard to brake late as you end up going off. I often miss the apex at Graham Hill and run wide, losing bundles of time.

I know where im losing time, so i could go faster by a fair amount, im now into the mid 1.40's

chrisp2006 · 3 Nov 2006, 15:59 (Ref:1757201)

Druids,Graham, Surtees and Paddock is where I can improve I think

Sodemo · 6 Nov 2006, 19:39 (Ref:1759314)

The Brands track model is a bit of disaster in my opinion, there are just so many things wrong with it its untrue.

Paddock, Druids, Sheene, Clark, Stirlings, all have quite significant inaccuracies.

Very disapointed, I really wanted to buy this game too...

Rockmunky · 6 Nov 2006, 20:07 (Ref:1759346)

Yeah, i position my car by my usual paddock spot, and it just doesn't look right.... it's strange...

Its such a shame, I really love the WTCC as a series, and despite its faults and shortcomings, I really quite like GTR2, however the one thing I can't stand is inaccurate track models. GTR2 has probably the best track models ive ever seen, really excellent.

However take a look at TRD3 for some truly hilarous attempts at track design...

I won't be buying RACE if this Brands model is the final version.

Rockmunky · 6 Nov 2006, 20:18 (Ref:1759354)

Ahh.... TRD3, i like it in a weird kind of way.

GTR2 track models are fab, a different team worked on RACE didn't they?

TRD3 isn't all bad, the track models of Brands, Silverstone and Donnington are all ok - ish to an extent. The crimes against track design are Oulton Park and Spa.

Rockmunky · 7 Nov 2006, 15:57 (Ref:1760104)

I think the got the elevation of paddock pretty good in TRD3.

Chris Y · 8 Nov 2006, 10:17 (Ref:1760720)

..Unlike the Race demo, where it's so wrong as to be laughable.

Gil Abobeleira · 8 Nov 2006, 10:40 (Ref:1760739)

At first, I also thought that Paddock Hill bend was way wrong in terms of elevation change.

However, I spun the car around before Druids just to be sure the elevation was not there... Well, IMHO, there is (mind you, just test it for yourselves).

(There's a problem with FOV-Field of View- in simulators. I guess a normal and plain screen cannot give us the depth that there is in real...)

Sodemo · 8 Nov 2006, 14:29 (Ref:1760916)

Its not that there isn't a drop or that its just a minor error, its a massive miscalculation.

Both the line (the actual shape) of the corner and the drop from the top to bottom are wrong.
The bump at the bottom of paddock (and on the way up to Druids) is very significant in the fact that its missing.

For someone who has been to Brands Hatch, driven around it, and watched hundreds of hours of racing there over the years, it will seem very wrong to them.

People say, oh its the angle, or its the FOV or TV cameras flatten the view, etc blah etc, however Spa's Eau Rouge looks correct in GTR2, and that has a big climb and drop...

***MagnetON*** · 15 Nov 2006, 10:58 (Ref:1766631)

I received more information on the demo of this game today.

Hazard · 16 Nov 2006, 23:57 (Ref:1768159)

It's pretty odd that this thing's only supposed to be out next Friday?

(remembers back to GTR2 debacle)

Hmmm, maybe not. Where's that G25...
