    As some of you may have seen that yesterday a "Grid 2" banner has appeared on the tops of of your pages along with our other sponsors.

    Over the last several weeks I have been in contact with Ben Walke, Community Manager at Codemasters, we have discussed Codemasters becoming a sponsor of Race On Oz, and I can proudly announce that Codemasters is our latest sponsor to come aboard.

    We will be holding a launch event to celebrate Grid 2's release, this will be held the weekend after release of Grid 2 on Grid 2, and you will have the chance to win some Grid 2 prize packs (c/w: Hats, T-shirts, and posters all signed by the Grid development team) further details will be announced closer to the event and game launch. So if you didn't have a good enough reason to pre-order Grid 2, you do now :D

    Cheers

    Yeah, great work Clevo.

    Guys, clevo did a hell of a lot of work to get this together and we now have a fantastic sponsor list to cover all or racing needs.

    PLEASE support OUR sponsors. If you are going to order GriD 2 ring the gamesmen and tell them you are a rooz racer and they will look after you.

    Cheers stu.

    No mate, Grid 2 was a disaster of a game, and we tried three times to do a F1 event/series without success, Codemasters will only give us prizes for events raced on their titles (which is fair enough) but there are no Codemasters titles we have strong enough numbers in that warrant trying to keep them on board as a sponsor. Long story short, why give them free advertising when we don't use their products?

    It's also fair to say that with F1 2014 being the same copy and paste game since 2012 (which in my opinion was their best one, never played 2010), with LESS features than 2013, there will be a scarce amount of people at ROOZ playing it. I will reluctantly purchase it, being the crazy F1 fanatic I am, but I doubt it will be taken out of its case much. If 2015 on next gen is still this arcade sim crap withno force feeback and scripted tyre wear, the series will die very fast, and (hopefully) another developer will grab the license and give the pinnacle of motorsport a worthy game representative of it.

    You can also tell that barely 2 weeks of development went into it, you can see that everything is recycled, and at :57 there is a clip from the 2013 TRAILER!! WTF?!?

    As much as I hate EA, when EA Sports did F1 last they made it proper realistic on PC it was garbage on console though.

    F1 2010 was their best game in my opinion. Felt closest to a sim and engine sounds were the best (but still rubbish...there is not one F1 game in existence that has decent sounds).
