We're like two weeks away from Project Cars. This is great.

So I've read about possible Indy car dlc. Anything else hinted at?

About a year ago they said there would be IndyCars but I'm not finding concrete since then except speculation on what we'll see and when.

To go along with [Indianapolis Motor Speedway], players will be given access to all cars and drivers of the 2015 IndyCar Series season, featuring the series’ Dallara-built DW12 open wheeler. Powered by 2.2l V6 turbo-charged engines from different manufacturers, the DW12 is used by all IndyCar teams in various configurations for both oval and road-racing.

But yeah, probably still not going to bother with this one until next winter, unless iRacing releases even more kickass stuff in which case I'll be living that sweet new iRacing UI they demo'd a little while back.

I tried out a very old 'rental copy' and the game owns. If it has the ability at launch to do full race weekends with full practice, full qualifying, and full races with pitcrews like this release has options for (they don't work), I am sooooo ready for this game

Grabbed a copy.

From what i can tell there is only cosmetic modding and no manual pit stops which is a bit dissapointing..

but it has Bathurst and superkarts! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqBg6G3jqBs

Having complete control of the vehicle after you cross the pit entry line. So basically, you have to make sure you're on the pit speed limit at the line so you won't incur a penalty, and also make sure you don't miss your pit box or murder your crew.

RFactor 2 and iRacing both do, other than the whole murdering pit crew part... But that might possibly be a future update if they can do it with minimal system resources.

You could drive through the pit and toggle the speed limiter in GT Legends as well. And maybe the rest of the Simbin games. The only racing sim I can remember letting you kill people was Richard Burns Rally where it reds out the screen if you hit the spectators and you get penalized or DQ'd.

I've been looking forward to this one since DriveClub kind of didn't come out for PS+ accounts. That, and old F1 cars looks downright fantastic. Hope to join up with a few of you here when it does release for the PS4.

I'm not gonna help fun PCARS2 I think. It was awesome being in on the development of PCARS from the beginning, but I don't feel like its something I want to do again. You don't get as much input as you're promised or at least is implied. It still felt like I basically pre-ordered a game years in advance. At least i'll get money back.

I think a lot of initial work will be the physics engine, given that offroad/rally was talked about before. While their physics dude says that the tread simulation is already capable to deal with that (driving on gravel and grass are based on that), I'm sure practically there'll be quite some issues to make it work realistic and full-time. The AWD in the game is a hack, too.

To be fair, it's very common for a sequel to begin work the moment a game goes gold. It's just never openly talked about.

why can't they take the profits from this game and use that to make the sequel? they need another kickstarter? bleh

I'd prefer if they build off into expansions like rally or whatever that mesh in with the p cars base.

Gran Turismo 6 has a whole Senna mode. I don't know if it was the first, but it had one, and is likely what tied up the licensing so F12013 couldn't have it.

So looking forward to this having just recently picked up a G27 during an easter sale. Grabbed Assetto Corsa after a day or two after my purchase since I quickly realized Dirt 3 and Grid 2 that I already owned are not quite the sims I was hoping... Assetto certainly is but it does feel a bit sterile.

Grabbed iRacing with a 3 month subscription and Ford GT for a tenner but while getting out of the rookies was fun and not terribly daunting the D rank series price of admission certainly are. Really love having a spotter in iRacing though and since Project Cars seems to have that aswell as the somewhat cheaper pricerange ( important factor now that I've come to realize I really want atleast a wheelstand ) let the hype commence.
