This absolutely fantastic and so refreshing to see. If i had a cap on at this moment i would indeed doth it to you and your team. Please let them know it is appreciated. There is so much listed there, and most if not all of the stuff requested. Superb.

[TiffosiDan]

Excellent work.. Well glad to see the devs are very willing to support this great racing game, who needs gran turismo now lol   !!!!!

[humanfish]

Trophies      and is that a custom soundtrack option listed as well?

[ytevo79]

*slow person alert*

I take it your something to do with the development team for this game then FerrariPro?

[humanfish]

Yea, he's with the developers Eutechnyx who actually made the game i believe. The publishers of the game are System3 though, they deal with the DLC. I'm trying to find an email for them 

[ytevo79]

Yeah theres not alot on the System 3 website. Just some old news from a few months ago and some wallpapers lol

what does custom playlist mean?

anybody?

[mobanton]

FerrariPro, that is a QUALITY UPDATE!!

Roll on September! Can't wait!

WE LUV IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And now for the rest of the news, does this mean a mid-September start for the FCL?

[FerrariPro]

what does custom playlist mean?

anybody?

e
You can arrange a Play List of music on the XMB and use this in the game rather than the tracks that came with it.

[humanfish]

This is great, cracking stuff. I actually didn't mind the in-game music, it was a bit repetitive and limited but the choices were good.

First of all, Hi everybody I'm new to this forum, and i do really looking forward to en-joy Ferrari Challenge, and this forum.. 

The News Is awesome Thanks..
One tiny little request is to be able to upload the skins your are doing to your Teammates, But again this could be one of the secrets hehe..

There for I've got a Idea to share the skins, I need a Full Game Save, then with all cars in the garage, I can do all the skins as team skins, even with the Team Number that we all have ( I'm Number 2 ) and then all team members are driving Online races with that Save game. and they now have the team skin on there cars..  Do you get it   

Does any one have a Full save game to share ?

ahhh yeaah!!!!    



oh yeah, bad luck to all of you who used to cut it,   (hehehe)

     "Improved the penalty zone on first corner in Monza"

Now you'll just have to take the proper line......


No but seriously, that sounds great. As PJ says I hope to finally be able to join a lobby and not get kicked out five times before I get to race. But I'll still get beaten by Adz and ytevo, and everyone else, shame they can't fix that!!!
