[headline]ViralBunny 3: With a Vengeance[/headline] What's this about? Think of it as turboduck's own Rivals, but with some proper rivalry in the community. The Rules: You must use the car (or a car that meets the restrictions) and track chosen by the previous winner. Tuning/Setups are allowed this week. Dirty laps do not count, stay off the lawn kids. Laps do not have to be from a standing start (flying laps count). If you already have a faster lap recorded outside of the competition, this does not count, you must record another and take a picture for proof. Banana for scale. If you win, don't forget to chose a car/track for the next week before Monday! Make sure to do your times in RIVALS (or free play), they will not be recorded in test drive. The time attack ends Saturday at 23:59 GMT and the winner has 24 hours to choose, then it defaults to the person in second if no choice is made.

Today marks the start of the pre-season testing, which is quite different compared to how it used to be in that we're seeing most of the cars officially for the first time today rather than the 3-4 week period of unveiling that most teams used to do a few years ago (that some still do). McLaren-Honda: Jenson Button & Fernando Alonso stay put. Still without a title sponsor, which is making them lose out on about £20m per year. Appears to be sticking with Ron Dennis as team principle, and Eric Boullier as Racing Director. Obvious concerns over pace/reliability, Ron Dennis refused to make predictions about the 2016 season. Scuderia Ferrari: Sticking with Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen Quick in pre-season testing. Most likely the biggest competitors to Mercedes in 2016 Red Bull-Tag Heuer: Sticking with Daniil Kyvat and Daniel Ricciardo Infiniti has dropped out as a title sponsor, meaning the purple colour has gone from the livery. Matt Black finish on the Red Bulls, it stands out rather well on TV. The Renault engines are labelled as Tag-Heuer engines, and are expected to develop well throughout the season. Christian Horner does not expect RB to be challenging Mercedes for pole. Scuderia Toro Rosso: As seen by the scuderia in the name, Toro Rosso will now be running Ferrari engines, different to their sister team RB. Sticking with Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz JR. Due to differences in the size of the ferrari and renault engines, the Toro Rossos will be more different than in previous years. Force India: Staying with Nico Hulkenberg and Sergio Perez Had a fairly strong 2015, has potential to grab some points in 2016. Manor Racing: The old Marussia F1 team has rebranded to become Manor Switch from Ferrari engines, to Mercedes power. Management reshuffle, Booth and Lowdon both gone. Dave Ryan is the new racing director Driver reshuffle, Will Stevens and Roberto Mehri out, Rio Haryanto and Pascal Wehrlein in. They're a bit more confident that the MRT05 will be quite competitive. Haas F1: New team for 2016 Will be using Ferrari power (and many other Ferrari components). Esteban Gutierrez and Romain Grosjean will be the drivers. Former Jaguar and RBR technical director Gunther Steiner will be the team principle. Gene Haas, team owner, expects the team to be a backrunner for a few years much like his other motorsport teams, before doing well. Williams: Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas will remain drivers. Susie Wolff no longer a reserve driver, replaced by Alex Lynn They're being quite careful about how optimistic they are for the upcoming season, but hopefully they'll continue to bite at the rear of the front runners if not more. Sauber: Maruc Ericsson and Felipe Nasr have kept their seats. Not much else to report on the Sauber front..... which hopefully isn't indicative of their upcoming season. Renault: Formerly Lotus F1 (Which was formerly Renault). Grosjean has moved to Haas, Maldonado has lost his seat in F1. Jolyon Palmer (GP2 Champ) and Kevin Magnussen are the confirmed drivers. Bob Bell is the chief technical director and Frederic Vasseur is the racing director. The RS16's livery is meant to be temporary? I'm sure I've heard that they're waiting on a title sponsor similar to McLaren. Mercedes F1: Hamilton and Rosberg have kept their seats. Still consists of the Niki Lauda/Toto Wolff/Paddy Lowe trio as management. The car is looking quick as expected. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So what's there to know? - The cars appear to have gone on a bit of a diet at the rear, not necessarily lighter, they just appear to have a skinnier arse. - The noise is meant to be a huge improvement, 10-15% louder. - The Ferrari is meant to be closer to the Mercedes than in the previous 2 years, but where will Williams come? - WIll Manor be as competitive as they've let on?

Alan's in the process of uploading some videos from Gamescom Graphics and sounds are looking very good. Hard to judge the physics from the first race in the Part 2 video of a P1 (not in any other game) with all assists off (the real life car is designed to have assists on), but it's probably all ok given their history and the new console's processing power. 60FPS is also a pretty big deal in racing (especially with a wheel), although we can't see that since YouTube videos are 30FPS max.

Hey guys, just wanted to throw this out there. Basically, a week-by-week challenge series similar to the Star in a reasonably priced car series that we already have, but based around a few circuits and in cars tuned for time attack. The winner (being the entrant with the fastest CLEAN time) will choose the class and circuit, and any other variables they'd like for the next week's challenge. Pretty simple right? Let me just spell it out to make it even simpler, in the form of this weeks theme. Circuit- Tsukuba full. Car class- A600. Manufacturer's country of origin- Japan. Drivetrain- Any (drivetrain must be stock, no drivetrain swaps allowed.) This weeks winner will use that as a template, adding/removing specifications as they choose, eg. drive type, aspiration, age, etc. Also, dont be afraid to get creative with your car! I've tuned 240z's to A class and run good times with them, engine swaps are allowed unless the theme specifies that the stock engine must be used, so yeah! (drivetrain swaps must be either allowed or not allowed, no grey area, if you are found to have cheated by swapping your rwd car to awd, your time will be invalidated.)

This weeks theme was chosen by DeBleuchamp, and it is 'Generations'- eg. 300SL and SLS, C1 Corvette and C6 Corvette, etc. Must have at least 2 cars that are of the same model, but different years, in the picture. In the case of the Corvette, or others (Skyline, Celica, Impala, etc etc) that have a few, if you want to include more than 2 then thats fine too. No photoshopping, must be your own photo. If the same person wins a second time in a row, the person that picks the next theme will be the runner up. In the case of a tie, the runner up picks the winner (the 2 tied entrants are both considered first place, therefore, the runner up is the person with the next highest amount of votes). Entries close on Friday the 16th of March, at approx 11:59pm Australian Eastern Standard Time. Voting will commence shortly thereafter, and will be open for approx 24 hours.

Hey guys sorry for the delay, flo, hassan and I (to my knowledge) have decided upon a theme I suggested. This week, you will be required to take your best landscape shot. Homespace/autovista are not allowed. I dont mean the orientation, I mean a picture of the beautiful scenery that makes up the world of Forza. The car is not the point of interest here, although you can have cars/a car in your photo, just make sure the interesting point of the picture is the scenery (be it the mountain ranges of Camino Viejo De Montserrat, the Corkscrew at Laguna Seca, the twists and turns and beautiful forestry of Fujimi Kaido, whatever you like really, as long as you show off the world, not a car). I urge you to be creative with this theme, go outside the box and get some stunning pictures! And when voting, dont let your love for a car get in the way of voting for a better picture that fits the theme... Photoshop has been banned altogether, apart from resizing if needed. No removing watermarks, no contrast adjustments, nothing. The picture you submit must be your own work. If you do submit a photo, you must vote for someone when the voting segment of the competition opens. Vote for the picture you think looks the best, and also best fulfills the theme- try not to let a car or person cloud your judgement when it comes to voting. If the same person wins a second time in a row, the person that picks the next theme will be the runner up. In the case of a tie, the runner up picks the winner (the 2 tied entrants are both considered first place, therefore, the runner up is the person with the next highest amount of votes). Entries close on Monday the 27th of February, at approx 11:59pm Australian Eastern Standard Time. Voting will commence shortly thereafter, and will be open for approx 48 hours.

The theme for this week was 'German sedans', chosen by Pyrre. If you entered this week, you must vote for someone. You may not vote for yourself.

Lets see if we can get as good a turn out as last week, plenty of great entries! Pyrre won week 13, and chose the theme 'German sedans'. I'm already expecting pretty much every entry to be the E39 M5 (well thats what mine will be anyway) :P Entries will close on Friday the 10th of February at 11:59pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time), please get your entry in before then. Voting will commence at aprox 12:00am Saturday the 11th of February (again, Australian Eastern Standard Time).

The theme for this week was 'Drift', chosen by Beav. If you entered this week, you must vote for someone. You may not vote for yourself.

"Forza Motorsport's" appreciation of the automobile is due in large part to the team's attention to detail. This is why automotive engineers from manufacturers like Audi and champion race teams like Peugeot as well as experienced computer graphics specialists from across Microsoft have all teamed up with Turn 10 to make "Forza Motorsport 3" the most beautiful and realistic racing game ever made. All 400-plus cars in the game have been built with more than 10 times the amount of polygons as "Forza Motorsport 2." This includes painstakingly researched cockpits and interiors for every vehicle. But realism isn't just about pretty graphics. Turn 10 takes realism to new heights, leading the industry with the most advanced physics model, artificial intelligence and damage calculations. t's easy to go for a spin: "Forza Motorsport 3" redefines the racing genre by blurring the definition of simulation and arcade. Simulation games can be too hard for some players. "Forza Motorsport 3" rises above the distinction between simulation and arcade games by using a myriad of cutting-edge driving and gameplay assists such as auto-braking, gameplay rewind and auto-tuning. "Forza Motorsport 3" delivers an experience where everyone can have fun behind the wheel, regardless of your skill and dexterity. Whether you're a newcomer or a seasoned racing game pro, "Forza Motorsport 3" caters to how you drive and the game evolves with you over time as your skills develop.Painters and tuners will once again be able to showcase creativity through the celebrated Livery Editor, Auction House and deep tuning garage in "Forza Motorsport 3." The car is literally the artistic canvas as some of the world's most creative car painters and designers find new layers of depth and freedom to create shocking visual masterpieces before sharing them with others over Xbox LIVE*. Each car in "Forza Motorsport 3" is fully upgradable, allowing gear heads to take on the challenge of turning a Honda Civic into a supercar killer. New Xbox LIVE scoreboards celebrate not only the greatest racers but also the most prolific car tuners and painters in the community. Key features of Forza 3 include: * Highly detailed real-world car and track models (over 400 cars and 100 tracks). * Near limitless customization options for car tuning and custom artwork. * A variety of online community features. * Highly accurate racing simulation including real world damage. * New race modes (drag, drift, oval, point to point racing, etc.) * Powerful assist system to help new players get into the game quickly.
