    He's good for the sport, and he was super cool on Top Gear. He just better not run away with the title again next year [​IMG].

    Whatever. How could they have not seen it? The whole world saw it.

    Anyway, Sam Michael will join McLaren next season. And Luca has gripes.

    PS3 for me. I don't game on PC and don't own an X-Box. I suppose, if you do enjoy PC-racing, rFactor is the way to go... so I've been told.

    Maybe I was spoiled by F1CE on the PS3, but F1 2010 just didn't do it for me. I'll get F1 2011 when it goes on sale, like all multi-platform games do.

    As for PC gaming, I've also heard about rFactor, as well as iRacing, netkar pro, live for speed.....tons of games.

    I'm leaning on getting it on PC since i can get it a bit cheaper and i just assembled a new rig yesterday. [​IMG][​IMG] I just hope they still support my Driving Force GT.

    Man, if your computer can handle it, go for it. According to the forums, your DFGT is officially supported.

    You never know... a street-circuit + the possibility of rain?  We're in for a crazy race.

    ^ you mean Seb. [​IMG][​IMG]

    This weekend's race is probably the one i dislike the most on the grand prix calendar. I find it bland and soulless. Even the organizers seem to promote the attractions during the weekend more than the race itself. [​IMG]

    Anyway, only a few days before the game is out. I built my rig in anticipation for Battlefield 3, so I hope it's more than enough! [​IMG]

    ^ McLaren? [​IMG]

    Seriously, though, Jenson's been on a charge for the last few races. [​IMG]

    ^ [​IMG] of course. But I'm saying other than them... I despise SFM, but don't want to see RBR clinch it. Hmmm.

    McLaren 1-2, while Seb and Nando get locked in their bathrooms would be ideal.

    That looks incredible. The helicopter shots are always so nice.

    ^ I think the "aerial" shots were taken from the hotels. Lots of surrounding skyscrapers!
