I like F1, GP2, Renault Series, Isle Of Man TT..

Top Gear is the best motoring program.. I prefer it over Fifth Gear anyday.

Yeah Fifth Gear is just bad. Its not even funny, I sometimes die of laughter when watching Top Gear!

Did anyone see the last Top Gear episode? They tried to beat Fifth Gears record of Jumping cars with a Caravan in-tow. They failed, but it was still entertaining and funny to watch

That was funny. They tried to do that at bentwaters in suffolk, not ever so far from where i live. My friends auty sometimes sees them attempting to do these things cos she works there-I guess at a store there cos there are like window and shed stores and conservatory stores in old hangars and things round there

Just a little off-topic question.

Topgear on BBC2 just stopped does anyone know when its comming back?
Or is there still topgear on an other channel.

Nathan|C · « **Reply #29 on:** December 23, 2008, 19:38:26 »

I love Motor Racing (especially Formula One). I've been to Silverstone twice, Spa once, and I really want to go again next year. I've watched F1 since I was 5, and it's my sport.

Game-wise, I played all the Playstation F1's, and the first 3 Gran Turismos. Then when I turned to Xbox, I had the EA F1 Championship Edition, and Forza. Now on the 360, I've only got Forza 2 (which doesn't look very good compared to the competition), and is as boring as watching paint dry. This year's looking much better though. SIMBIN are bringing GTR to the 360 with Race Pro in February (GT, TC, and F3000 and F-BMW), and then I think in July, Codemasters are bringing out F1. I personally can't wait to play an F1 game again, but I'm hesitant at getting excited for it because I loathe what they did to the Toca series (as in, take it away from Simulation, make it more arcade-like), and Colin McRae. They've promised a sim in every way though, so I'm willing to give them a chance.

By the way, if it wasn't clear already, I hate arcade racing games.

He he, Yes the Race Driver series latest edition grid as been 'arcadified' but Its not a proper arcade game, its a cross between sim and arcade, and I like that, Although I also like the seriousness of TOCA Race Driver 3-brilliant game-as is the whole Race Driver Series. I have always thought the F1 games have always been less-than-what-was-expected and have all been a bit dissapointing. However I think F1 2009 will be superb!

Captain Darling · « **Reply #34 on:** December 24, 2008, 00:24:11 »

Would there be a chance that F1 2009 game will be released for the PS2?

I doubt it as the last devs (Studios liverpool) said that they were limited as to what they could put in their f1 games due to the hardware in a PS2..

Just don't have the money to buy a new Xbox 360 or a PS3.. Even if I did I wouldn't know which one to go for..

That is very unlikely becuase they are using the same game engine as in GRID and DIRT, which is simply too big and complicated for the PS2 to take, so I would say no. by the way, PS3 is better! Although for me PS3 vs Xbox 360 was more like Gran Turismo 5 vs Forza Motorsport, if i got an xbox 360 i could get forza, if i got a PSÂ£ I could get gran turismo, and so i went with PS3.

Ive seen some of that its good. I like american motorsports, especially the American Le Mans series and the SPEED world challenge. I dont like the fact that the USA isnt too keen on F1 mind.

That Top Gear was funny. Le Mans is brilliant. I think that nascar isnt as good as other motorsports because of the ovals, but it is unique in its own way.

I like Midnight Club 3, it's a street racing game where you can custimize your car.

RMSGreatBritain · « **Reply #48 on:** December 24, 2008, 20:39:55 »

I never liked street racing games. Give me a simulation anyday!

I didn't think I would like it either, but it's really fun!
