Is there other tv providers other than ABC and SBS?
Even that is diminishing - BBC now on Foxtel. Hope Foxtel doesn't discover Scandinavian Noire any time soon :)) I need my Wallander fix occasionally.

Yes I and my wife agree there, Wallander, great series and of course there is/was:
Unit one
The Bridge
The Killing
Berg
Real Humans

Trying to bring this conversation back closer to the original, but not by much...

Do we have a Project Cars discussion forum?

I love AC, but this look amazing

No I don't believe we have one, but we can create one later when there's anything going on.  Until then, just create thread(s) in the general sim racing section (as you did).

Is she from the Russian team? I sware they must have a ruling that you need to be drop dead gorgeous to play for Russia. Pretty much the same rules for Denmark, Sweden and even Canada's team are pretty hot.

Google Russian women's curling and you'll see at least 3 from the team do lingerie photo shoots

Ps. It's actually a good sport to watch.
Love watching biathlon as well..
sprint on skis for 7km then shoot a .22 100 meters at a target the size of a golf ball. 5 shots. If you miss, you do a 200m penalty lap.

No idea what this has to do with AC news lol but darn I shouldve gone to watch some women sweeping aka curling while in Canada. I did watch a couple NHL games and they did well hiring hot girls for sweeping up the ice. Maybe they were all curlers in training.  ;D

Bloody hell, you DO actually watch this don't you?
I had to look up women's curling on google, and this was the in the first batch of images popping up, that's all.  I think she's Russian - going by the URL :)

They make it worth watching. Ask marty about the men's team...

You must have heard of lingerie football too right? [youtube]AfkKjATCu4E[/youtube]

That's bloody long winded.  What's the gist of it?  Will they concentrate on multiplayer more, or forget it?

Didn't read it all. Think it's just another promo story..

AC is not a finished game. But that seems pretty standard these days, release a game, then give game fixes as 'updates' or even better,  DLC.

I'm loving AC. Would i recommend it to friends? No. It's not worth 60 bucks. It's a work in progress. It is far from user friendly, the menus, especially in game are awkward. You need to go to other sources to learn how to play, modify, install tracks, skins etc.

Net code is a constant work in progress.
We can't race bumper to bumper without unnatural collisions.
Damage is laughable and very disappointing. For me that totally ruins immersion and it might as well be a console racer.
harsh critic? You bet. They promised the best racing sim ever..  I'm still waiting.

I think Kunos are over it. Bit off more then they can chew. They are all rich and ready to move on.

AC will be sold to ea sports in the next 12 months.
