[Alex Townsend]

Only a handful of days to go...

And, I've got the day off when it does!!!!

(no, stop laughing at the back there, I DIDN'T take the day off for this, I took it off cause I don't like my job much!)

Speaking of which, I will test the 'sample car' theory on this and report back as soon as it is released.

If you guys are on the fence about the DLC, here are screens of all 30 cars and screens of all 20 new events:

For 30 cars + 20 events + Rival Challenges + 250G Achievement additions....I think $20 is acceptable. If you're a VIP member, the DLC is only $15.

Here's my full DLC review with commentary:

 

[Bradley Capps-Jenner]

Does anyone else find the Porsche's insanely tail happy?

 

[Bradley Capps-Jenner]

I regret getting the pack, 1200 points for cars that can't go round corners properly, me no like!

Nothing a decent setup wouldn't sort out. The Porsche's are a bit different to tune but should still drive similar to most other cars.

 

[Peter Vermeulen]

I love them.Escpecially the GT3 snake one.
That's drives awesome.

I had a blast last night with the GT3-Cup and GT3-RSR and wowee! I think I am pretty excited about a Porsche Supercup series using the GT3-Cup cars. Maybe this is the thing that will take over the DTM series when the World Cup is over.

Porsche cup would probably work really well, but can we guarantee that people won't sign up just to leave a few weeks later. We need something that everyone can race in and enjoy. Might be worth thinking about 2 lobbies of 12, so everyone has someone to battle?

 

[Alex Townsend]

Do it on laptimes like the Formula 1 Champ?

Everyone who signs up does a few laps on a few different circuits in the spec of car that will be raced.

Post the times or upload them or something, then sort the leagues out that way.

Drivers that do better over the season in the lower league get promoted, whilst drivers in the upper league get demoted if they're not doing so well.
Could even have driver changes mid-season if people find it tough/too easy in their current leagues?

Exactly!

 

[Alex Townsend]

I'm starting to get a nice fluffy feeling about all this now!!!!!

 

[Steve Freeman]

Sounds great....but am I reading this right? Leagues as in more than 1? I admire the confidence in getting the drivers to fill more than 1 league.....DTM's wot is it, 7 or 8 at most per race!

The theory is that if there are less leagues to join, then more people should join what's available.

Hope so Dan, certainly more fun with a full grid.
