I know I would pay whatever the asking price for the Ring!

I have couple of great ideas to make TDU even better than it already is.

The creators would no doubt have considered the addition of real racing tracks. Obviously one problem they have is the island doesn’t seem to have one of its own up to the STD of "The Ring". A great addition would be the feature of paying per car per lap to fly them from the airport to real track locations around the globe for track days. Ultimately one track from each of the manufactures home countries. This would open up the ability to have competitions and world championships with entry fees and in game cash prizes, even MS points if sponsorship was sourced. the great thing about it would be that people would have to play TDU a lot to make enough money to enter the competitions which I am guess is what Atari and Eden would want with the release of other racing games looming. I understand that the addition of real life tracks is a costly operation and it also opens up avenues for criticism if the tracks aren’t accurate enough for the die hard's, but it would really make TDU the ultimate racing game of its time!

Or seeing as there is a lot of empty space on the island how about the ability to buy some land to create your own purpose built race tracks? You could invite friends and club members to race on your creations. People would no doubt try and recreate original tracks.

What do you good people think?

It's a brilliant idea. We do have a single race track which is pretty good. But I think the likely hood of any of this happening is very low...

I'd gladly pay 400 points for The Ring and that new sim mode in a premium pack.

is the race track the one on ford island? not really a race track seeing it has a intersection/junction in it. but it is nice to go round with no traffic!!

hopfully the hardcore mode will mean that when we turn the driving aids off that is eactly what it does!!!

That is a great idea! I'd love to blast round the silverstone circuit and then fly back to Oahu and then fly to Oz and fly round Melbourne.

I kind of agree. While I do love track driving, that should be left for games like pgr and forza. Saying this I do like going around the track by the airport every so often, wouldn't pay for more tracks.

I will(Because of the tuning)and i hope it´s WAY better than Forza 1(Because that 1 is beyond ****)

But i meant all racing/driving games has the same(Boring tracks)It gets very dull very fast!

I though forza 1 was the best game on the xbox. SOme of the stuff you could do with the cars (while not adding all the stupid body kits), like the paint things on the side. Got quite into that. Plus the online was brilliant, buying and sellling cars and the rcing, ok now im rabling in memroys.

TV set to pal-50? Cuz the graphics on Forza aren't that bad. And I agree that the sound wasn't great but the physics were. Ofcourse nowhere close to LFS but way better than GT (and TDU ofcourse).
