FFS. I was really looking forward to this...Hughesy said:http://www.gamespot.com/articles/project-cars-delay-to-march-2015-confirmed/1100-6423015/
LOL told you lot it was impossible for the game to release in November.
"This delay has come about because a couple of other big games have announced they are shipping around the same time as our planned first date," Garton wrote.
So they are going to release it in March, after everyone has spent their money in the January sales? -

Alonso's cars may not have been the fastest, but they were reliable, 2 of those 11 wins at least were due to Vettel's RB6 failing. -
I wish I'd started playing earlier... -
Not sure if anyone has talked about this yet, but has anyone here gotten Archeage (PC)? It is pretty good, I paid £9 to become a patron (get full features, it is free but limited normally) and it is a lot of fun once you've leveled up a little. -
When are the results coming? -
Hulkenberg could well end up as one of those guys who should have won a title but never did for various reasons if he doesn't get a top drive soon. He's, what 26 already, he'll be 27 by the time his Force India contract ends. Bianchi's injuries have probably left a Ferrari drive unoccupied for 2016, maybe he could slot in there, but then Bottas and Ricciardo might both want a seat like that too by then...alonsofan46 said:
He's also stated numerous times this season that he wants continuity after moving around so much for the past 4-5 years.APR193 said:
Alonso is contracted at Ferrari for next year though, I'm pretty sure Vettel has a year left on his Red Bull contract. Contracts mean jack allfIsince08 said:Hulkenberg is contracted to Force India for another two seasons... -
I just don't understand why Vergne can't get a seat anywhere -
That'll be a winning move for him, going to a back marker team for a couple of years. Hilarious rumour. -
I might actually agree with him on something. It wasn't great. Although as I said earlier, the track wasn't the issue, it was the tyres IMO. Vettel did more laps on the softs (something like 30 wasn't it?) than on mediums and Rosberg finished 2nd after 52 laps on mediums. SS tyres might make it more interesting although I get the feeling it could still be a 1 stopper with only SS and S as they might stretch out Softs more and take the risk.fIsince08 said:
Yeah, at least Vettel beat Webber in straight fights!GoldenColt said:
Tbf, Vettel deserved the 2012 title much more than Rosberg would deserve this years title (if he doesn't dominate the last three races).Liam12d said:
Wow even worse than I thought. I just hope the wrong guy doesn't win it again, just like 2012.GoldenColt said:It's actually 9-4 in terms of wins.
Apparently Helmut Marko described the race as the most boring he's ever seen. -
Wasn't it the back end of last year where Hulkenberg consistently took that Sauber up to positions it shouldn't have been in? Didn't he get like 4th in Monza and like 5th or 6th in Korea?Jiggy said:
About Hülkenberg and your argument about race pace being something that's naturally something that'll improve with experience, Hülkenberg hasn't exactly shown much improvement in that regard, has he? He is more highly rated now, but while his consistency is impressive, he hasn't ever been able to really get that one shock result, never got a podium either. He's dominating Perez in qualifying, but Perez is beating him on the track, especially in the most recent races. And Perez got dominated by Button. Also, Perez has been able to excel and get a podium, where Hulk hasn't cashed in on his opportunities. So at this moment, it seems like Hulkenberg is only fit for a Barrichello-role at a topteam, instead of a possible future World Champion.VetteIfan said:
Considering Lewis was on the back of Nico after lap 1 in Austria, I think that counts too.Liam12d said:The only place he's beaten Lewis this year is at a track where overtaking is 95% impossible.
On the Mclaren situation though:
Magnussen is an extremely talented driver and has a bright future ahead of him. He's been very unlucky in a lot of races this season and has shown himself to have impressive pace in qualifying. As a rookie, that's the thing you want to see. Race craft and race pace can be easily improved upon with experience. A point to prove this would be that Nico Hulkenberg got pretty much dominated points wise by Barrichello in his debut season, and now he's one of the most highly rated drivers in the paddock.
So, looking at the whole picture and not just the points situation, Magnussen would easily be my pick as the driver to take the team forwards for the future.
Magnussen seems to be similiar as to where his inexperience meant he used to be unbelieveably quick at his day, but he was also wrecking himself out of the race when it wasn't his day. Now he has more consistency, but it also feels like he traded in pace for consistency. The same situation definitely happened with Grosjean, until he found a way to do both in the second half of last season. I wouldn't want to drop Magnussen, but personally, I'm not that impressed by him either and Button, although he's a level below the absolute top, he still is better than the majority of the grid and it also seems unfair for such a good driver to get axed. Kind of like a 2014-Damon Hill situation, long term planning over current form. Although in Hill's situation, it seemed to make more sense at the time to go for Villeneuve and Frentzen for the future.
It is all well and good getting "one shock result", but Perez did that, landed at McLaren, got sacked because he couldn't reproduce that shock result and then landed back where he started. Consistently finishing in the points is what wins a title, if he had a top car he'd consistently finish higher up the points and then he has a real chance of winning titles.
And also, Hulkenberg has 76 points to Perez's 47. Seriously, put Hulkenberg in a winning car and he'll be in that top 5 at every race. -
Surely that is 99 points?afrodude41 said:

Who is that guy? -
Fine the team, the driver has no control over a radio transmissionJiggy said:I don't think that'll ever happen. And the entire rule doesn't make sense, but you won't be able to uphold it if there are no consequences for the driver benefitting from that info. At the end of the day, Hamilton also has a team of engineers around him and only him who are fighting with the team serving Rosberg. If one of them screws up, Team Hamilton screws up. Who else would you punish then? -
A Finn and a German on the Russian podium... -
That is the most stupid thing in F1 if that's the case. So Mercedes could sit there and tell Lewis tons if info to get him penalties so Rosberg wins? What can a driver do about? Makes no sense...mike96 said:
I believe so, time penalties etc.AMS97KRR said:So what happens if the team tells a driver illegal information? Like who gets punished for that? Surely not the driver?

I think the issue is tyres rather than the track personally -
Ricciardo asking for team orders. Wow. He's deluded I'd he thinks he has a chance of the WDC. -
I got full points too, pretty happy with that -
Oops Bottas cracked/choked -
Alonso struggling, 9 seconds off the pace -

What do you guys think of these two PCs? (Both need an OS)
http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/371009136907?cmd=VIDESC&gxo=true
And
http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/371009177615?nav=SEARCH
Which one would be the better buy and how close would they be performance wise?
Also, how would the AMD 6670 (GPU) and fx-6100 (CPU) compare to the ones in these? Really need some help to find a good PC that can run 1080p in medium/high settings for a reasonable price so any feedback would be great guys :)
