    @LiteralZero a couple of questions if I may.

    1) Is there the champagne podium music in the game?
    2) What are the game main menu's like this year? Is it set on another circuit like 2014, the 'windtunnel' like 2013 and 2012, or the paddock like in 2011 and 2010?

    If the game is going in the direction of a TV style presentation then I'd hope it's set in the paddock again as that's where all the TV stations broadcast from.


    There is indeed the podium music, I always sing along :smiley:

    The menu's have a different style from previous games like the ones you mentioned, I won't detail what it is exactly (sorry!) but I think it looks very sharp and fits very nicely with the style of the game. 
    Cool, thanks for the answers! Interested to see what the new menu's will look like.

    Also, are you planning on doing any livestreams before, or after launch, if you're allowed?
    I want to, if we can get it all approved and signed off I really really want to. Livestreams are something I'm very very used to and I know how it all works so fingers crossed (no promises though)
    That's great to hear, really hope you can do it.

    I think livestreams tell people more about a game than any trailer or screenshots do, at least from the various ones I've watched!
    Ah live streams can be done when done good, but would it not be better to pre record a 60 minute show that you can then edit to make perfect as i bet FOM wont like it if during the live stream the video quality goes down or audio goes etc? Being pre recorded will make most use of a 60 minute show effectivly.

    You could still get us the community involved by getting us to send you questions before you record the show. It would feel like a live stream but be more polished as i felt the dirt rally launch stream was very stop start stop start & didnt flow great, something that can be cut out in a pre recorded show.

    p.s. The dirt rally livestream was good but it was your first one haha

    every year when there is bad news it seems that's the week the "community manager" takes a week off, go figure! nothing personal againt zero it just seems to happen everytime.

    It was the only real time I could get off and after not seeing my family for almost a year I thought I should take it :wink: 

    You're all stuck with me now! 
    Have to say since today is your first day back at work after codemasters released the first F1 2015 gameplay video your doing alot of answering the comunnity which is good! Is it safe to say your now the F1 game community manager whilst Lee is what it seems now fully concentrating on Dirt Rally?
    Thanks! I'm trying to be as visible as possible going forward, but there may be time where no one says anything simply because we can't. 

    Pretty much yeah, I'm the new F1 Community Manager but its not 100% exclusive, more like 80%? :smiley:
    Well thats ok then and thats understandable but hopefully there is lot of content coming in the next few weeks.

    Can you say what will be in the final game? Re like we was told mannor would be in a patch 1 month after release & so would the full 2015 cars (not the 2014 cars with 15 nose's & livery) but will these both be in the final game as standard now because of the 1 month delay?

     And since we were told about the july patch, mclaren have changed their livery so could you comment on if that will be in the game and if so in a patch or release version of game?

    Project Cars Online on the Xbox One is awful as soon as you have more then 10 people in the lobby! Game chat is aslo very hit & miss so makes it difficault to know who your talking too.

    Atleast online lobbies in f1 games tend to be more reliable! Especially for league races as its a nightmare currently on PCARS on the xbox one edition!

    It seems it gets even worse for those that got excited when they heard 'Broadcast Style' i will hold my judgemnt till i have seen it & played it but sound like a posh way of saying its just like other F1 games :neutral:

    Seems like the Broadcast Style & end of session tables in F1 2015 will be nothing like in real life. So basically just like every other codemasters game?? Am I missing something here or does it sound like (as we still not actually seen it) its going to be just like the other games with commentary over the standings tables?

    Thanks though @Britpoint  for replying to me on twitter.

    What do you guys think? Legit F1 2015 screenshot or Fake?

    https://twitter.com/mrdangerdaysf1/status/595321703846309888
    If u look at the circuit map. That points to it being fake 
    How does that make it fake? Seems simular to the other leak screenshots like the hamilton monaco screenshot.

    Also just seen this: Ubisoft are to Publish F1 2015 in Japan from 23rd July 2015!!!

    Maybe Ubisoft are trying out with the F1 licencse before purchasing it fully from codemasters for 2016/7 onwards??? Odd that another developer is getting involved. Hmmmmm

    Where do we send the letter too regarding FOM? I did see your other post about it but didnt think much about it but starting to get worried as it does feel that Dirt comes first over the F1 games for codemasters and i can really see what slightly mad studios could do for a F1 game.

    @justbiglee any news of when we can expect the next F1 2015 news to arrive ?
    Honestly I don't, I need to catch back up with the F1 stuff as I was largley looking after Overlord last week so I'll know more about what's next on Monday.

    I did play the game a bit on Wednesday afternoon as we got a new build in, it was my first time playing it on a wheel and oh man it was good - I was playing on a T300Rs, that wheel knows how to kick! (might have to get one for myself) 

    On Thursday we (not me personally) took the game and the wheel/playseat down to Williams to get some feedback on the handling from their test driver (forgive me I've forgot his name - it wasn't Susie, it was the young guy who is about 20ish - he was a bit of a gamer too as it turned out).

    I know we filmed some of it too so hopefully we'll share that if we can. Pleased to say he liked it, he gave some good feedback for the dev team to work on too.

    As for your original question what is it you'd like to know next? I know you all want to know everything but if you could pick just one bit of news what would it be?
    For the many racing leagues out there, just some full details on multiplayer, all we know is its still 16 players plus Ai and we can have practice sessions at a time limit we decide which could be around 1 hour in length.

    I shall just place this link below. I did not make the petition even though the guy who did has the same first name. I have also not yet signed it as i want to see F1 2015 in full first. But if i dont like what i see then why not!!!

    Just had a thought, that if there is no career mode i bet there is not a bunch of helmets to select for online racing, as the helmet you choose before use to cover online, career & time trial. Hope online we can still be our own character/driver or codemasters you may have loss another sale.

    Well if the audio was only being done 1 week ago, then i would imagine it all needs to aprroved by all interested parties (FOM & teams) before they can show it to us

    https://twitter.com/tdk_chiptune/status/587700048298962945

    Hey Alex. How do you know that? I read somewhere they began recording audio in winter testing months ago.

    Edit: Disregard... read your link, thanks.

    Thats ok, i presume its only mixing all of the sifferent audio sources together and that any audio to be in the final game would of been recorded as you said during winter testing

    Well if the audio was only being done 1 week ago, then i would imagine it all needs to aprroved by all interested parties (FOM & teams) before they can show it to us, so maybe in the build up to the Spanish Grand Prix we may get something.

    @mmpaw37  They're exclusive to Pro Season mode.

    Practice is set up in a slightly different way between the modes, so in Championship Season/Quick Race you select an amount of time for the Practice Session (which is a single session). Pro Season doesn't have different time lengths, but does have all three sessions.

    Sorry about the delay getting back to you I had to double check my facts on that one.

    @Britpoint  Can you comment on the duration for online practice? Is it the same as Championship Season where we can pick the duartion? If so what can we pick from for online? 30,40,50 & 60 minutes?

    How did this get out and not a mention about it from any Codemasters employee that i know off! 

    Edit: @justbiglee has just tweeted me confirming that game are selling this version.

    Available only at Game! (Why choose game to only sell it?)

    Costs £54.99 for PS4 & Xbox One

    For PC its £37.99

    At the moment the only benefit is getting the game in a metal case & a information pack that contains "Hints & Tips" also with "2015 Circuit Guide". 

    Find them all here: http://www.game.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/m/mAjaxCatalogSearch?msg=&storeId=10151&langId=44&catalogId=10201&resultCatEntryType=2&pageSize=&beginIndex=0&sType=SimpleSearch&showResultsPage=true&pageView=image&searchTerm=F1&product_search_submit.x=0&product_search_submit.y=0&product_search_submit=GO

    Just Found this guy on twitter & he tweeted this yesterday!
    So a F1 2015 trailer is not too far away i imagine, they probably just need to make sure all parties involved are happy.

    We race on Mondays at 8pm (UK Time) with a 15 minute qualifying session which decides the starting grid for a full race distsnce (100%). We are usualy finished by 10pm (UK Time) or earlier. We also use equal cars & corner cutting only rule with a custom race calendar & point system.

    We were also one of the first 7 leagues to take part in the Official Codemasters League on the Xbox 360 with F1 2013.

    Take a look at our website which has alot more information and also has a dedicated sign up page! Where you can also view our history on the UTR Champions page, the next season will be on F1 2015 is our 7th Season.

    I wonder if the only reason they have removed career mode where you race under your own name is because of this new broadcast style to it, this would mean they have made accurate 3D models of each drivers face for the podium (already confirmed) and maybe interviews in the paddock (rumour). So maybe they did not want to allow the player to customise there own 'avaatar' or 'Sim' like you can in other games like Fifa because they want to perfect it so its done properly and perhaps it just is not ready, it could come later in the season as Free DLC remeber guys!
