Things are moving at Codemasters

Wish I was playing on PC. That texture pack looks sweet.

 

[Rob]

@Karl Fuss you in? Might as well, since you pre-ordered.

 

[Blkout]

Hopefully, they have a working SLI profile on launch day. With two GTX 780's, I'd hope I can use the 4k textures.

 

[TobiasR]

I stand corrected. Well, I'm always a bit too skeptical when it comes to Codies' efforts.Sorry for that

 

[Von Butters]

Pre-load now available on Steam, get it on your machine and be ready to go!
Ill be ready for you!

I was confused about the flashbacks too Karl, just seemed out of place in an online event. Roberts explanation cleared it up for me too but I am scepticalk of how it would really worked based on the problems of knowing where cars are on track when there is any slight lag involved. I can envisage being flashed back right into the middle of a battle or even worse into the middle fo another car But let's just wait see the proof in the pudding and have some faith that it works as outlined.

I believe the flashbacks will ghost your car when you return to track so hopefully avoids wrecking other people races who may be behind you. I don't think they specified a ghost time but apparently you have enough time to see said vehicle and avoid a colision before it de-ghosts, so to speak.

Got some touring car action around Hockenheim,Istanbul & Sepang

That's not your fault. GRID2 was a drift-fest. I can understand why anyone might think this one might be even close.

The guy has released some new videos - Have some endurance racing around Yas Marina & The Algarve

We also have some open wheeling around Malaysia & Autosport Raceway includes a lovely moment of non backing down by the AI and what happens when your car is ruined.

pre-downloaded last night........looking forward to trying the endurance racing tuesday......;-)

On the Steam forum, the developers are saying worldwide release is the 27th, so I don't know if they mean for the US now also. It was previously reported that the US release was the 24th and the rest of the world on the 27th.

 

[Rob]

I think my favorite open wheel race is this one....

You can tell he's very gifted...probably used to racing on PC SIMS. It shows the limitations and grip of the car nicely. The lattle with the #1 Ravenwest car (highest difficulty) is fantastic.

 

[Rob]

No, they are just saying the 27th is when the "whole world" will have access to it. The more important parts of the world will have access on the 24th. My local retailer has confirmed and it's still all over the web that way, at least for the x360.

Oval circuits are very very competitive. NASCAR are produced and soo arcade. I really hope Grid Autosport could do a great job.

 

[TwilightZone]

It does seen a bit odd to call something endurance racing and yet limit it to 40 minutes :/ Other than that it looks really promising. Would have been nice to see more than twelve cars on an online grid too.

really agree here........if your going to call it endurance......then make it one....would love to see more than 40 minutes.......3, 6,12, even full 24 hours......oh well, maybe codies are listening.......looking forward to this though....☺

That's not your fault. GRID2 was a drift-fest. I can understand why anyone might think this one might be even close.

The press embargo stands until games release, so I can't say how things handle until that day. RaceDepartment will have a full review by mid next week.

 

[Rob]

I can say billions and billions (said in best Carl Sagan accent) things about the game come Tuesday at 10am. 3pm your time. Does you embargo mean worldwide release or June 24th?

 

[Kyle Cardwell]

I am curious because I thought I read somewhere that the game was not going to be mod supported.

 

[Tomaz Selcan]

Soo the Russians will have it first?

 

[Railer Cantrell]

How about if I take the last design and above touring league add the full wording of race department??? This was an actual logo for a touring car series, I liked it and thought it would be good. Can show you mockup of it next week. I will create 2 different logos of bottom pic. One as stated above and then another with the website for RD. I may take out the letters RD and put a trophy inside that area. Just tinker with it and see what fits best.
