Thumbs up

 

Anyone else seeing an incomplete list of tracks? Mid Ohio, Spa, Portimao, RR Raceway and a few others aren't shown in the in-game tracks list

 

Yay! Mandatory stops!

 

Superb, can't wait to try the updated AI (especially at Bathurst) - does this have an attempted AI fix for the Macau hairpin?

 

Uhhhm ... guys, there are no available ANY tracks in store. Totally empty, same goes for choosing a track in leaderboards

EDIT:
And it's back

 

Yes, yes, yes thank you. Will have a try!

 

Track list is now correct in-game for me, still missing from the store page

 

• Added new content that will be released very soon.

So...what does very soon mean?

And great to finnaly have mandatory pitstop and fuel management!(te start off fuel management atleast)

 

Just recently asked myself when real endurance sessions (1hr +) will be available - all that is missing is the multiclass-option now... (Miss that since GTR 2)...hey and plz : look-to-apex (yeah I repeat myself)

thx

 

Thank you, good job!

 

Usually within a week or so. Anyone had a dig in the files to see what the cup cars are yet?

 

Audi TT Cup, NSU TTS, Formula RaceRoom 2 and Chang Circuit

 

Some cars are missing as well. Both the gt2 and gt3 Ruf, Zonda, P4/5, as well as some classic touring and group 5 cars. I wonder if these cars have received updates/new liveries or if it is just a random omission.

 

That NSU TTS is not something I'm familiar with, but looks exactly like what I've been wanting in r3e. A good older manual shift car.

 

Can you check again Dan? They're showing for me.

 

All present and correct for me too.

I've not raced the improved AI, but I just watched a few minutes worth of AI racing at Bathurst and Brands and they certainly appear to have rediscovered their balls.

 

For folks that are missing cars/tracks, it's a cache issue that's taking a bit to refresh. All should be good in the next little bit.

 

When I logged in they showed up and now all appear to be there. Maybe the update just took some time to cross the ocean

 

Fantastic. Glad to hear
