@nostalnerd Amiga!

@WRCPAST @cleoabram I replied to my own comment, that I think addresses the price.

[Dave 💙💛 @sound_fx]

@WRCPAST @cleoabram I should not have said "But a normal person buying a low-mid end electric" This was all about expensive electric vehicle purchasers. I'm just guessing a £60K car can equal a £470k car on most accounts, other than prestige and brand name. Is the tech so much more advanced?! 🍷

[Dave 💙💛 @sound_fx]

@WRCPAST @cleoabram It's a CEO purchase, family electric 5 seater. I don't think it's super ugly, the tech is probably up there with the best. But a normal person buying a low-mid end electric would look elsewhere. Not looked into this for years, but Volvo, Hyundai and even SEAT my 1st choice.

[Dave 💙💛 @sound_fx]

@VVVGamer Just seems like a superduper expensive 5 seat family electric car to me, rather than a supercar.

@buckomedia Thanks for posting Andy, Paul was my older cousin. I'm not into football, although our Uncle Steve took us both to matches when we were kids. Well one for me! I didn't 'get it' but Paul was a lifelong City fan. What an amazing gesture if that happens at 62 mins, his age btw. 💔💙

@WRCPAST Cheers, give me a reminder at the weekend and I'll find some Chris Jojo/ Codemaster vids - or find yourself, all on YouTube. 💤

[Dave 💙💛 @sound_fx]

@WRCPAST Not events, everything was arranged beforehand as you need specific things. I attended many sessions, but my ex-colleague Chris, did a lot of recording on his own. I'm off to bed soon, but if I remember I'll post a few of the mic promotion vids that are on Youtube.

[Dave 💙💛 @sound_fx]

@WRCPAST Simply💯. Those gear shifts seemed difficult to perform. If I remember, one was perfect.

[Dave 💙💛 @sound_fx]

@WRCPAST They can't not help 'get it' :D. I love the gear change modulations and the analog saturated recording of the sound.

[Dave 💙💛 @sound_fx]

@WRCPAST Oldest and longest I could find, been sharing this for years at work. Codemasters for almost 17 years, moved on now.

🇮🇹 Ferrari F40 LM

1 of 19

The footage of ex F1 driver Jacques Laffite driving the Ferrari F40 LM is widely considered one of the most visceral and iconic pieces of automotive film recorded.

Filmed in December 1992 for the French TV show Turbo, the sequence features the former F1 driver pushing the ultra-exclusive racer around the Mas du Clos circuit in France.

The Vehicle: F40 LM (Le Mans)

While the standard F40 was already a legend, the LM (built by Michelotto) was a different beast entirely

Upgraded to roughly 720–780 hp (compared to the road car's 471 hp).

Stripped down to approximately 1,050 kg.

Equipped with a non-synchromesh (dog-ring) gearbox, requiring precise heel-and-toe shifting.

Featured a more aggressive front splitter, an adjustable rear wing, and fixed headlights to replace the pop-ups.

Laffite famously drives the car wearing casual slacks and deck shoes (loafers), without a helmet or fire suit, contrasting sharply with the car’s brutal nature.

You can see Laffite physically wrestling with the heavy steering and the "recalcitrant" gearbox, demonstrating the immense skill required to manage the massive turbo lag and mechanical grip.

The F40 LM driven by Laffite in that session (Chassis #79891) remains a "holy grail" for Ferrari collectors, representing the peak of the analog supercar era.

@VVVGamer Well done Alan! I won't be bothering with Saros, just got to the first Boss in Pragmata, I failed first time, I think that's doable though, for somebody of my age :D

[Dave 💙💛 @sound_fx]

#Saros nope, as an older gamer, I could not beat the Returnal first boss after a several tries. There was never, to my knowledge a change in difficulty option to let a player experience the full game, the content made by the artists and designers... locked, skill issue, yes!
