Chris Gray · 29 Oct 2005, 21:39 (Ref:1447063)

Does anyone have a list of the tracks that are included? The list of championships seems pretty impressive, btw.

nickyf1 · 29 Oct 2005, 22:39 (Ref:1447093)

all i know is that shanghai, indy and nurburgring...

Grandprix · 29 Oct 2005, 23:27 (Ref:1447118)

I've heard that there are 50 tracks that they have the license for but that rises to about 100 when you take into the account the different variations that some tracks have.

I think that the German Grand Prix circuit (Hockenheim) was mentioned with the full track and the short track available to play.

Thanks for the link Nicky. Interesting and pleased they have the IRL and British GT's, F3, Formula Ford, and claims it has more than double the content, as long as the championships are longer and more real then that's cool. Wish they had more classic and normal circuits.

luke · 30 Oct 2005, 13:25 (Ref:1447508)

Also see those horrible turn signs are still there and the tracks are not all realsitic I can see. Hope the lap times are similar to real life and races not grid-locked.

**FIRE** · 30 Oct 2005, 13:57 (Ref:1447534)

Hope you are able to drive (in example) a Clio at Bathurst.

trd 2 had grass on the lausitz banking! They just dont think do they?

luke · 30 Oct 2005, 18:43 (Ref:1447767)

I still play TRD2 every days since I have had it a few weeks, but it's also annoying when you pass someone, they come back at you like your invisible and hit you or come across you, also everytime you pull out of a corner you get tremendos wheel spin.
I hope this does not feauture on the latest one.

From my point of view I want to drive the group B cars everywhere

(although I don't know why they include rally sections in the race driver series - that's what the McRae series is for surely?)

The other thing that bugs me is everytime I see 'rallycross' mentioned on these games I know I'm in for a disappointment when I finally get the game - why can't they include proper rallycross? (instead of the rallying?)

Nintendo · 31 Oct 2005, 11:26 (Ref:1448265)

I'm looking forward to this

**FIRE** · 31 Oct 2005, 16:02 (Ref:1448476)

The rally part sucks. If I want a rally game I buy CMR or WRC.

Totally agree, I'm a rally fan but I'd rather see the TRD series stick to circuit racing and leave rallying to the specialist rally games (same applies to GT - the rallying in that is dismal).

Damon · 1 Nov 2005, 20:33 (Ref:1449759)

It's really odd actually. I mean, the rally section in TRD2 really was dire, it was a chore to get through it to be honest. But codemasters own the rights to CMR, why not just cut and paste that engine in??

Knowlesy · 1 Nov 2005, 22:07 (Ref:1449851)

I'm a tad worried abut this.

All round it seems improved and the diversity excites me.

But I hope the experience isn't spread too thin. I'm looking for longevity comparable to GT4 here with full championships and a real challenge.

I won't hold my breath....but I'll still be the first to buy this game at the end of the day, regardless.

tator2001uk · 1 Nov 2005, 22:37 (Ref:1449896)

sounds ace, cant wait, bit bored with nascar already, only fun for smashes no lol

karting best be good, and i cant wait for clios hehehe

thanks codemasters.......

Nado · 3 Nov 2005, 12:35 (Ref:1451272)

I just hope handling is more realistic instead of the car having a stick in the middle of it, and most of all, hope those kerbs aren't as bad as they were in number 2.

Oh, I also hope I have my team manager in my ear all race telling me what's going on up ahead of far back, or who pits and all that, no need for commentary though.

FW27s handle well. Wonder "who" will be driving in the series

nickyf1 · 3 Nov 2005, 20:15 (Ref:1451558)

will the british gts include the scudiara eccosse?

nickyf1 · 3 Nov 2005, 20:17 (Ref:1451560)

hopefuly the crash phisics ( not damage ) on ovals will be as fun as the IRL games. will the game feature rhe full Irl 2005 season.

luke · 3 Nov 2005, 20:27 (Ref:1451565)

I don't know. From the pick I saw it looked as though it was on a road course but was an '04 car, and as they are continuing each year with a later season I think it is the 2004 season....Just a guess.....as TRD2 was 2003 and TRD1 was 2002.

Nado · 4 Nov 2005, 00:49 (Ref:1451735)

It might actually have this 2005. For V8Supercars it will be the 2005 season liveries, plus anyway, it'll be released in 2006, so it's still that year behind.

Chris Gray · 5 Nov 2005, 22:07 (Ref:1453050)

TRD featured 2001 cars and liveries. I think the V8 Supercars in the TRD3 are 2005, from what I've seen of the screenshots.

TRD1 on PS2 - 2001
TRD1 on PC/xbox - 2002
TRD2 - 2003
TRD3 - 2004/05?

nickyf1 · 10 Nov 2005, 20:15 (Ref:1457523)

theres not been much new news about it.

Jeffrey-Lee · 10 Nov 2005, 20:19 (Ref:1457526)

Oh don't worry, they'll hype this one up nicely.
