F1 2016: The F1 Game We Have Been Waiting For
/
/
comments
When I reviewed last year’s F1 Game, I was surprised at how far the game had come from the previous year, 2014, but was disappointed by the lack of a real career and how the engine felt during races. A solid effort, but hamstrung by time and dealing with new hardware. All of that came together…

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jv-cPGa9Zsg[/youtube] This is really happening. Porsche is returning to sim racing! For real! This is a big deal because for the last decade or so, Porsche has been locked in a licensing deal with EA Games granting them near exclusive use of the legendary brand in racing games.

comments
Ever since EA got the exclusive rights to have Porsche cars in their racing games, even the best games and sims have felt a little empty. So when Turn10 announced that the legendary Stuttgart brand would be once again coming to Forza 6 I was all aboard. Usually, a car pack includes just a handful…

comments
When your cellphone contract expires, the generally expected thing to do is to stride immediately into your local telecoms agency and sign yourself up for a fresh deal on whatever phone grabs your fancy. The contract for my cellphone expired last march and, well, I really didn’t know what to do. I had been nailed…

Motorboat Monday: SEALEGS:- The Boat With Wheels.
/
/
comments
By now we all know the score with amphibious vehicles: to whit- duality of purpose usually means a massive compromise. The Amphicar, for example, was pretty wretched on the road and didn’t make a terribly good boat, either. The astonishing Gibbs Aquada was hugely better in every respect, but was also toweringly expensive. Though a…

Wagon-esque Camera Car built from a Porsche Panamera

comments
I don’t know why, but I loves me some camera car build stories. The various outlets that build these vehicles all seem to have made a switch a few years back to utilizing luxury sport utility vehicles. The stable platforms and their smooth suspension setups helped create the types of platforms necessary for camera work.…
