Cars are fixable. If he damaged something it can get fixed by them I'm sure. Now, incredibly rare cars, sure, there's a massive risk there if something breaks that there's no replacement parts for. But, if something is that rare, nobody in their right mind should give them the car in the first place. IIRC, didn't a private owner of a McLaren F1 lend them the car for a top speed run? Something like that, if something bad happens, it's over for the car. :lol
Actually, now that I think about it, they had quite a few "owner lenders" on the show.

It's been rumored that the F1 that they used for the Veyron race belongs to Rowan Atkinson.

You'll be able to import your cars from GTPSP into GT5's arcade mode.

Nick Mason of Pink Floyd let them use his Enzo, for one.J-Rzez said:
Has there been any footage of GT5 showing backfire from the exhausts? That was a visual addition I liked in GT4 and which is rarely shown in other racing games.

Of course, that was about 9 months ago...jett said:
I can only imagine what the total figure will look like once you've thrown marketing on top of that.
I believe they're talking about a McLaren F1 (the hypercar).Truespeed said:

In the hands of a top f1 driver maybe.
But me or you behind the wheel? I doubt it.........sadly.
The mclaren doesn't have ABS, BRAKE SERVO, TC ect. The veyron has all that plus 4wd and is automatic.
Like driving grandad's civic:lol
When gt5 arrives we should have a race with these two cars.

Talking of marketing, is anybody else undecided on Kevin Butler working on a GT5 advert? I suppose humour is one way to stand from the deluge of ads that will accompany Kinect and Black Ops, but still, it's bugged me since "Kevin" announced it, for some reason.
The GT5P mix of Moon Over The Castle is what they should use.

Butler lacks the style / class deserving of a GT advert.offshore said:
I think I would prefer non-Butler ads, I do love his brand of humor just not for gt,and despite his line about his next project I wonder if Sony has him next advertise for lbp2, his style fits that game better I think. I believe the line was more of a way to say hey we are going to release some good info soon hold on fans. If he does anything for gt I could see it being something lower key like the mod racer blog thing was.offshore said:

It looks like we'll never know what the final budget is. Kaz was asked about it at E3 and he said that he wasn't going to talk about the games budget anymore because he didn't like that some seemed to focus on it more than the game.

The lack of all those driving aids are all advantages for the McLaren
I still think the McLaren would win in on a race track, though. The Veyron is just too heavy and doesn't accelerate as fast out of corners as an old McLaren would. There's a Top Gear video of McLaren vs. a Veyron in a 1 mile race. The Veyron obviously pulls it out, but had the length been a 1/4 mile, the Veyron would have been badly beaten.jett said:
Yeah, that's the old figure I remember aswell. I saw the 80M floating around on several sites a few months ago.
Maybe not very credible but according to this site it's the latter.
Even at that price the game would be worth the time and effort. Not because of the initial return on investment but also the face time the Playstation brand gets in circles that don't usually involve them in games. The cross-media advertising opportunity is (and has been for past GT games aswell) invaluable for Sony.

That's not accurate. I've seen someone dispute the costs of another game on that list. And it mentions that the official dev cost as of 2008 was 60m, but the only time Kaz has even discussed the cost was late last year and he mentioned that it was 60m.
It would be nice to know how much GT5P put back into the bank, while nowhere near the 60 mil and i can see it buying the team the extra time they were after.
It must have sold over 5 million copies by now, does anyone have any rough figures of how much goes back to a dev on each game sale?

If they made just $10 off of each copy:
10x5,000,000= $50 million.
They're owned by Sony, so I'm 'guessing', they only get paid their wages. And I think Sony makes a lot more then just $10 per game.
edit: cod:MW2 grossed over half a billion retail dollars in the first week, and they sold around five million units, I think...
But Prologue was bundled and near half price.

of course the veyron would be bad on a driving circus, it was designt to go a straight line and go after the top speed record, no other street legal car at the moment can do this as good as the veyron.
dude, acceleration is not veyrons problem. stopping this fat bastard for cornering is
that top gear battle was fake.
people have to realize that the F1 is ~15 years old... some things have changed by now

what is this i dont even...Piggus said:
only flipside of 4wd is additional weight...
sankt-Antonio said:
how do you know the f1 vs veyron drag was fake, source please???
the fact is the F1's 0-60 is 3.1 secs and the Veyron's is 2.8
for all you know the veyron could of bogged down abit like most 4wd cars do off the line, but to say its fake is pretty dumb
basically down to the drivers ( even if the veyron is idiot proof )

Pretty much the usual suspects. If you're looking for PC games then go with stuff like iRacing (can be expensive though), GTR, Live for Speed, Richard Burns Rally ect. For the PS3 if you're europe look for Euthechnyx racers like Ferrari Challenge and Super Car Challenge. DIRT, Shift ect. on either platform. I'd suggest Prologue but if you don't already have that then it's probably not worth getting at this point considering how close GT5 is to releasing.

well if they shot 10 drag races and cut them together to make it look cool (not boring) its fake to me.
just for fun:
veyron(2005vers.)
0 - 200 km/h 7,3 s
F1
0 - 200 km/h 9.4s
edit: off topic/on topic:
but what really shows that the veyron is the holy grail in automotive engineering is:
a) the design was done first
(no fancy air vents, wings etc...basically a nightmare for a top speed car),
then engineer's had to make it run... awesome feed!
b) no modified stock parts (like pagani/königsegg/gumpert etc use ) all custom designed and made. even tyres are specifically made for this car
c) the car is not whining or cracking when its driven... its calm and save but is as fast as cars that seem deadly to drive
d) interior quality that is on par with interiors from bentley
it is a one o a kind car - so excuse my fanboyism

You aren't alone. I don't like the Veyron's design at all. But I also don't like most Ferrari, Porsche or Lambo designs either.
