    I agree with Scott, the fact they're not putting all their eggs in the online basket makes me think this might be something I'm interested in playing. :duck:

    It's a tough one really, I do like long / in depth youtube videos, but I think it's a big ask to get viewers interested enough to invest 40 mins of their time on a car that was released a while ago. When the channel is big enough I hope he manages to get press cars soon after they're released and still be able to keep his brutal honesty :)

    Live Stream for Alonso's first tests in the indy car, he's been driving for a few hours now, 50+ laps I think, it's all gone smoothly.

    I really don't want to like this but I do, a lot, looking forward to some remixes of it, needs to be a bit faster:

    720S reviews are out, sounds as if McLaren have hit it out of the ballpark again. A few people going down the usual 'but does it have soul like a ferrari?' route, but I think they're just trying to pick a flaw where there isn't one. My only criticism is that it doesn't sound that exciting.

    As interesting as it is I imagine it is just marketing hype, the effort put in will only result in a rather small different experience for the player. That said, it's always good to see the behind the scenes clips and it will make people confident their money is being spent well :)

    It's looking great :drool:

    Stop being so 'salty' Scott, jeez. I can't say the hotwheels expansion pack interests me much, even when I was young I enjoyed collecting hundreds of hotwheels cars but the tracks and accessories never interested me at all.

    Highly recommend this video, very entertaining. '62 250 GTE with a chevy small block engine, but all is not what it might seem at first. Even the most staunch purists among us should watch the video before judging it.

    Safe to say the F355 won the race in the first picture, judging by how far ahead it is in the second picture :p

    My main issue with the episode was that I was hoping the second Cuba segment to include them modifying their cars to try and beat the Cuban cars in a straight line, that would be what the Old TopGear trio would have done in that situation imo and I think it would have made better TV. It whole idea seemed a bit half arsed, they should have made it an hour long special, involved LeBlanc and had him choose a car, and give them challenges which show them bonding with their cars and then modifying them. Hammond still owns Oliver, his Opel Kadett from the Botswana special, it would be nice to see such a bond being developed by the new trio and their cars.

    I'd quite like to go to the Baku GP though, it looks like it would be an interesting experience. Similar to Monaco, it might be boring on the TV but in person it is much more enjoyable than Silverstone and some of the other big tracks.

    Hey Mark, welcome to TDUCK! :)

    I'd rather arrive at my destination slower and with less spare change in that 4 pot F-Type, than in the S3 or Golf R tbh. A 718S might entice me away from the Jaguar dealership but it might have to be a nearly new 718S as the options list will put the Porsche in the V6S and V8R F-Type price range very very quickly. I do like the S3 and Golf R, I like them a lot, but they're very very popular around where I live and even if they weren't, most non car fans wouldn't be able to tell the difference between them and an A3/Golf 2.0 TDI

    Y'all are more than welcome to debate these kind of things on TDUCK as long as you do it in a respectful and less antagonistic way, telling people they're embarrassing themselves or that they have undiagnosed issues is only going to start an argument and force me to waste my time intervening. If someone can tell me that this 'debate' has some relevance to 'Test Drive Unlimited Ultra Community Pack v1.04' then go ahead and debate it in a more friendly manner, but if it's irrelevant please take it to a new thread or end it here. Thanks :duck:

    Yeah Button is technically McLaren's reserve driver so he's the most likely to get the seat, considering he resides in Monte Carlo it's not the biggest inconvenience for him to take part is it? How much would he want to do it though? Yes, it's like a home GP for him but when you take into account how unlikely it is for him to actually finish the race due to the piece of junk he'll be driving, I can't imagine he is very eager to jump behind the wheel. Alonso is very unhappy at McLaren Honda at the moment, a lot of people are questioning whether this Indy 500 jump is a sign he'll be leaving the sport before the end of the year, and I'm not sure i'd rule it out.

    I was just reading that we might end up seeing an Indy driver in Alonso's seat for the Monaco GP, that would be quite interesting to see and would generate interest from both sides of the pond. I think there's a test day in Bahrain sometime next week, so we might be seeing whoever they intend to replace Alonso with for the race sat in a McLaren during that test.

    Jag have put a 4-cylinder engine in the F-Type: Quite liking that Murcielago-esque exhaust pipe. - It now costs £49,900, so it's trying to slot in between the Porsche 718 and the 718 S. - 295bhp, 0-60 in 5.4 seconds (almost a second slower than the 718 S, half a second behind the 718). Also worth considering more common/dull cars such as the new E-Class Coupé as a competitor for this at this price range, and I'd rather have the Jag tbh.

    Alonso has told McLaren he won't be available for the Monaco GP in May as he'll be racing in the Indy 500. That's hilarious, it says a lot about the situation at McLaren, good on you Nando.

    Jeeez it only feels like 10-12 weeks ago that we were making the threads for E3 2016 and having them ignored (j/k :cheeky:), how is it E3 2017 already :hmmm: Are we expecting a big year for hardware?
