It would be nice to get an update on this sometime. I'm sure they are really busy but it would be nice to know if they are still planning on doing this and when they think it might happen. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't pick me (I think I'm too new to the boards) but it would be cool to know who IS going. I'm mostly excited just for an update. Whoever is chosen I just want to hear more about the game and how its coming along and how it feels.

Sorry Steve wasn't trying to sound aggitated, quite the contrary. I saw the updates you had left but i didn't know it was on hold. Was just wondering where we stood with that now. Thanks for the response.

He's actually going to MotoGP and Toseland will take his place in SBK. There was a lot of funny stuff going on when they made the announcement that Spies would join in 2011. Apparently Edwards and Herv both new that he would actually be entering in 2010. Maybe they just didn't want to break it to Toseland yet... anyway Spies will be a wildcard this year at Valencia taking over Toselands spot. A lil loophole to avoid testing restrictions. Go team USA! The Texas Tornados?!

If you are chosen to attend, you will get the opportunity to try the Arcade, Career and Online modes.

You & testers go through all this trouble and the Arcade handling mode is all thats going to be tested?

Just checking. I wasn't sure what was meant by the quoted statement.

So if I understand correctly "arcade mode" in this case is/was not in reference to a handling model but a game mode like "time trials" for example and the testers can play the different game modes with SIM setting if they so desire? I'm a bit slow and english isn't my mother tongue so I get easily confusemafacated, bear with me.
