The surprise is gone

T125 S1, but I'm really happy with this.
Anyway what's the 31 gonna be??

Given Kunos close ties with Lotus I don't think it would be completely fictional...It might not be the exact weight or have the exact same HP or downforce numbers but I bet it is very, very close; not sure how you wouldn't be anything but happy if you are an open wheel fan wanting a recent f1 car.

CKraegel · Feb 28, 2014

Just because it is weird driving a Lotus t125 chassis that has F1 specs under the skin. But let's wait and see

No, it would be more like an e36 with an e46 engine swap. Anyway you don't like, you don't use it.

By the way, this is what completely fictional means:

Curious what the stage 1 is, hopefully more power, less weight and more downforce

Ps: I've re-installed FVA just to get a feel for it on Nurburgring and Mugello

Oh boy ....

Not really, because the 458 S3 is the trofeo car that also exists IRL.

Paul Brennan · Feb 28, 2014

We may get my wish afterall

traind · Feb 28, 2014

Usually the stage 1 is a slight modification-- not an extensive one. S3 seems to be reserved for more extensive modifications.

Regarding the Gran Turismo car pictured a few posts above-- it is pure fiction but they actually sat down with Adrian Newey (Red Bull F1 Design Genius) and asked him what he would do with absolutely no regulation limitations. The car in the screenshot is based on his answer.

Bram Hengeveld · Feb 28, 2014

Reminds me of this awesome Ferrari http://www.racedepartment.com/forum/threads/fx-i1-the-future-of-formula-1.42947/

Roger Ferrer · Feb 28, 2014

Well, Kunos knows well how a F1 car must be simulated, so I think it won't be bad.

DennS · Feb 28, 2014

BTW the Nürburgring GP track has the actual name now and not German GP Track (or something like that)

Great idea! I fired it up after a year or so and i instantly got more then half a second under my PB (was 2:02.7-8xx). After a few laps i got a 2:00.960... this track is really amazing for GT cars... But the 458 Challenge seemed to me to have a lot of front grip, but this is not the place to talk about it. cannot wait to do some comparison later this evening!

Paul Brennan · Feb 28, 2014

2 cars for the price of 1 suggests to me that the s1 version will be a totally different spec as in hopefully kunos interpretation of f1 2010/11/12/13

Quas · Feb 28, 2014

Not so much a fan of open wheelers (maybe the T125 will change that, who knows), but the thought of a first taste of a laserscanned Nürburgring got me sitting like this in front of my screen:

Alex Brumpton · Feb 28, 2014

Me waiting patiently for assetto corsa update

Paul Brennan · Feb 28, 2014

@Jarek mate u must of missed out on kunos FVA sim. a laser scan of Nurburg is included as well as Fiorano and Mugello. All to be enjoyed with the ferrari f10 and drs and kers equipped f148 f1 cars

....its not too late

JvMr · Feb 28, 2014

^ That got me thinking, hopefully we get Fiorano in AC too at some point.

Now where is that update??!
