    That's awesome. Dead cert to be shown live on BBC I reckon. When we played Fleetwood, Poch brought on Harry Kane towards the end of the game so the Fleetwood fans could see him in action.

    A lot of TV series have been using this exact formula for decades and I've always hated it.

    Okay, so from the three daily races this week, two are for one make cars that probably no-one has, but there is a decent Gr.4 race at Brands Hatch so I'll add that to the calendar. Also, I tested tyres and fuel for the Gr.1 race. It's an 8 lap race and fuel will last 4 laps. Some cars might need to manage fuel to get 4 laps. Strategies for Gr.1 will be to either do a one stop, for fuel and tyres, or possibly a two stop, where you only use the mediums for one lap and come back in to change to super soft. The difference in lap time between super soft and medium tyres do make this a viable option. I also tried a few different cars, best laptime was a 1:58 but most were around the 2 minute mark. I'm looking forward to it😎

    Indeed, as I've probably said elsewhere, if I didn't have a PC, I'd pick up the new Xbox and gamepass. Prices of new gen games are only feasible to buy in a sale 6 months after release, so the game pass is a no brainer.

    That looks fucking epic @Plumbers Crack 😍 You've done a great job there, very nice man🤗

    Welcome aboard Justin, we're all hoping CyberPunk turns out to be a really great game. Looking good so far👍

    Welcome James, you'll find plenty of COD players here and there's also FIFA Mondays if you check the calendar🙂

    I've made the Gr.1 as follows: Kyoto Driving Park Yamagiwa + Miyabi It's 8 laps, at around 2 minutes per lap, with fuel and tyre usage, plus requirement that at least one lap is in medium tyre. So there will be at least one pit stop, possibly more depending on tactics😉

    Gr.1 Kyoto Driving Park Yamagiwa + Miyabi 8 laps Fuel 10x Tyres 5x Any tyres can be chosen but Racing: Medium must be used for minimum 1 lap. The other races, Gr.3 and/or Gr.4 we can add once Daily Races are announced unless anyone had a request.

    I had a look at the canal around Camden last night, it was static. Very poor, and the game is so poorly optimised it beggars belief indeed.

    I've already decided to give it a miss unless I see it in a sale for 20 quid or less.

    For your purposes you have no need spend money on a PS5. It's faster and has a new controller. Unless you want to play in 4K or at 120 refresh rate (and have a TV that can handle that refresh rate) there's no real need right now.

    Good racing last night, I need to remember to set up the races so everyone gets over the line before it decides the result. Listening to @GazzaGarrattrage about my corner cutting on Maggiore was worth the 0.5 second penalty😆 Apologies to @Spacedeck and @Mikepjbell as I may have been a bit clumsy on occasion trying to pass or defend. Great competition between @Grebothand @JBR-Kiwi , the two front runners on most tracks. Would it be better to suggest our own races from now? Could do it a week in advance so everyone has time to prepare and practice? That way we could do Qualifying and Races only, allowing extra time for more races? Could do a spreadsheet so we don't repeat the same tracks too often. If we're feeling anal we could record all the times and finish places for posterity, though this could be a problem for Greebs already large head😉 Have a think and let me know.

    Totally agree, I've read that all that crap can be turned off, fortunately. It's totally immersion breaking. I also hope the player movement and shooting mechanics are done right. GTA has not managed to do that very well, neither has Read Dead 2. It would be great if it was more like Rage 2, because the shooting in that is immense. I'm clearly prepped to do a lot of killing😁

    That's true about Maggiore, so I'm happy to suggest another one, maybe one that doesn't appear often.

    All three races are decent this week so let's hope the game plays ball and lets us race😁 Gr.4 Autopolis Gr.3 Lago Maggiore Mazda Roadster Suzuka You may need to buy the Mazda. It's a really nice car to race with IMO

    I watched Chapter 8 today, last episode of the first season. I did have a chuckle when the stormtroopers were talking about the leader executing officers as an example to the rest of the men. The deadpan way they discussed it is an example of what's good about this series. The humour was a big part of the first films too and they haven't got that right in the more modern films. It also reminded me of why Picard was ultimately a fail despite some good elements. Too po-faced and serious.

    Pretty sure a few FGers have new hardware. Can't believe you're not on here bragging about it. So I've started a thread for you. Sort it out🤗

    Hmmm I'm not sure now. There is a Hardcore mode but all it does is turn off UI. Enemies don't scale and they are harder or easier to beat depending on their location from what I can see.
