Not bad, just a shame for the microslop

I'm guessing another company that won't compromise for the sake of aesthetics.

I don't mind the Microsoft Branding, it is the drivers I feel sorry for having to navigate windows 11 on their steering wheels

I'd prefer an adapted color scheme imho. Same with google and those wheel caps on the mclaren

The Merc looks really good. My fav livery so far.

Looks black from the side, silver from the front or from the top.

That video has no Audio for me and no audio controls shown, but any other video I watch is just fine.
Is it only me or are others having issue with it?

Right-click on the video and select 'Show all controls', the volume slider will appear

Thanks Naks, and for anyone else having problems, the mute button is unresponsive but the volume slider works.
As for the subject at hand I think I prefer the new sound, much deeper more like a growl than a whine.

Ja definitely more punch to it and catering a bit to the old days, which everyone wants.
