Semi-off-topic..... maybe it's already been hashed over.
Did you guys see that Red Bulls Adrian Newey collaborated with Gran Turismo to create an open rule set race car for the game. It is supposed to be the ultimate fast lap machine, able to be designed for speed and not a race series. Supposedly Vettel drove it in simulation to a lap time 20 seconds faster than the current Suzuka record.
I'll see you guys in the EvoM lounge when the game gets released in a few weeks!

The game is being released on Nov 4th. All the stores are already taking pre-orders.

Hey sorry for the delay...
The problem arose when SCE mandated SDK 350 on all games releasing after after October, GT5 was about to go gold running on SDK 341, but it has been delayed by around a week so that they can update to SDK 350. This has caused a big headache for the manufacturing side, given how big this game is missing the gold date by even a week can cause a months worth of delay as slots are already taken up at this time of year for Blu-ray movies and such. So Sony had to find a 3 week slot big enough to make 7m+ copies of this and get them shipped out.
Any predictions for Korea? Lewis ? Vettle?

Travel Expenses: F1?
I am not a rich man...but I could be if I could obtain 0.1% of the travel expenses incured moving all the teams from one end of the globe to the other...soon from Russia to Australia...Japan to Brazil...the travel expenses are mindboggling! And the FIA marches on for more global stops. Todt just released word that Africa is possible down the road...return to South Africa GP (http://www.planetf1.com/news/18227/6...-F1-grand-prix)...but the FIA would argue that such an addition to the calendar would actually be a "cost cutting move" by increasing the efficiency of F1...i.e., making a stop between Russia and Australia...are there no fiscal limits to the FIA's need for "global reach"?... the concern I have is such costs have to be paid for by someone and part of it, I am sure, will come from the fans in the form of higher and higher ticket prices....guess Bernie has to make a living...wouldn't want him out in the street as a homeless person would we?

Kubica wins Rally: Hey Kimi, listen up!
When someone goes from one discipline to another and performs poorly, the usual comment is they have not "adapted" to the new venue yet but will soon...the other comment is they really do not have what it takes to win and should have stayed in their original sport rather than drifting elsewhere.
Case in point: Kimi has not won a single Rally event. Is it lack of talent or F1 drivers just can't do Rally racing?
Well, Kubica has certainly dispelled both...http://formula-one.speedtv.com/artic...sult-in-rally/
Recommendation: Kimi, time to return from wenst U came...but return with focus, not apathy.
