 so I'll be putting down a few extra stage times and getting some practice in at home so I can keep up with you guys soon.

Hmmm...  Is it for the visit day or a game release...? :)

On Monday I'll be finalising the DiRT day so if any of you want to come speak now or forever hold your peace.

In that case count me in ( depending on the date) ;-)

Sorry guys - crazy busy this week

So am I right in thinking the list is

@ThierryNeuville
@evilsmurf
@Rallycameraman
@gentlenameMVB

Edit:
@Rallydriven

If you have to cancel or can't make it whatever, that's totally cool. You're not locked in and we won't be mad or anything like that if you can't make it. 

[Rallycameraman 241]

Good to hear you are busy, this hopefully means good things are happening  :) I'll check at work tomorrow that I can have the 23rd off, but can't see it being an issue.

[Evilsmurf 90]

Got the time off sorted, can anyone recommend some ware to stay? found a Travelodge 9 miles from Southam I was going to book unless anyone has a better idea? 

[RallyDriven 398]

I should be able to go, as long as I have nothing important on that day at uni. Put me as a yes and if something comes up last minute I'll let you know :)

[tbtstt 2,387]

I'm on the fence at the moment. I'm self employed so a day off comes out of my own pocket: if there is a lot more to see than last year I'm in, if not then I'll go to work!

I don't think you'd learn much new dude, don't worry about it this time round :)

Thanks for the reply @justbiglee. I would love to spend more time with what I saw on my last visit, but a days wages and a 250 mile round trip make it an expensive outing!

Shame that Steve, guess I'm fortunate that I had 1 holiday day left to take, so I now have the 23rd booked off :) you heading to the Wyedean Saturday?

Well I'd rather be at CM, but sadly I need to earn money! Unfortunately not, none of my mates are interested in going and I don't really fancy the drive on my own. I need to see some motorsport soon, the off-season seems to be dragging on forever this year! I assume you'll be packing your camera for the Wyedean?

[Evilsmurf 90]

Am all booked up now, will be in Leamington Spa Sunday 22nd Feb if anyone is around and wants to get food/drink. pm me and I'll send you my number.

Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Here's a very late post on something that was being discussed a long time ago: the 128 thing and the August pic.

I agree with the whole 12th August interpretation. It does indeed seem logical. But I have a strange feeling that that might not actually be a release date, but something pre-release like a demo or beta or, worse still, it could just be when we see the first screens or gameplay footage (which is still good, but not nearly as good as release), and the realease may be sometime next year.

I prefer the release interpretation over my own silly little ideas, but it just seems too early to hint at a release date seen as we haven't recieved much/any real, clear information about the game. Apart from the (sort of) obvious.

Now for something far less likely with almost no chance of really even being a remote possibilty. Could the day being '12' indirectly hint even slightly towards the game supporting DX12? I mean, August 2015 is in Summer 2015, and that's when the first games built on the new API are supposed to be released.

Just some thoughts.

And now for the completely random and totally off-topic, super unnecesary (i can't spell :blush: ) yet somehow obligatory follow-up comment.

How would you spell 'bare' as in "This road is bare long," or "That journey was bear tiring"?

While we discuss spellings, how would you spell "dunno" that you say when you have finished something long or requiring effort or that you're proud of or you were trying to finish as fast as possible?

Just wondering.

There is no correct spelling for "bare" in this context: because that word doesn't belong there! "This road is very long". "That journey was very tiring".
