Hey fellas! The article is up now on GoodGearGuide.

joshmuggo:

hey cam, your a legend! what was the hype like at the conference? media and drivers alike? any indication from the drivers that they had known this for a while or they were holding onto information that they couldn't give?

The drivers were having a good time on the machines, but frankly they seemed like they were just there to have a bit of fun. From my short chats no-one had anything ground-breaking to say :)

willkit:

Did they say there would be no Australian tracks in the game? Or did they just say nothing at all about it? To tell the truth, ANY track news are welcome!

They simply said nothing at all - to me, at least! I don't see it as a good sign - surely if even the Bathurst track was slightly complete they would have taken this big media opportunity to launch it. It's disappointing for me, and I'd absolutely love to be proven wrong here.

DUST2DEATH:

So all I was getting at was, is it still the 23rd and cam merely made a typo. Or is it that it is the 22nd and possibly, pre orders may get it on the 21st, seeing as they would already be in stock.

Nope, 22nd. "Available in Australia on October 22nd".

who's the preson doing the Tweeting????   shouldn't this be against some of TURN10's PR rules....  if Che couldn't give us this information, i wonder if they're aware that someone is splilling the Australian beans play by play?

That was me :)

 

Hi guys - I'm Campbell Simpson; I write for Australian PC World and GoodGearGuide.

 

I'm just writing up the newspiece now and a slideshow of photos from the event will be up ASAP. I'll try to answer any questions you guys have in this thread that I've missed - feel free to keep asking though.

 

Cheers,

Cam

 

EDIT: First question answered - the V8SCs will indeed be R-Class cars. R3 is the designation, 717 is the code next to the one I drove. I'll show you the photo when they all go up.

thank you for all the infomation did the cars feel heavy? and was there much diffrence between the cars or did they feel the same?

i think i found a picture though not sure

Thanks a lot for the answers! I think it's time to start accepting that Bathurst really won't be in the game.... Waiting for your slideshow now...
