    • Nürburgring - Minor updates to update the track to 2020 specs. Some curbs, runoffs refinements.

    @J-F Chardon isn't it possible to also keep the old layouts of the changed circuits? (f.e. "unsupported")

    Are there plans to implement the nürburgring gp updates on the 24h and vln versions of the nordschleife or are those supposed to be kept as one 2016 (or whatever year its currently based on) version rather than a mix of different years?

    Maybe for Zandvoort - kind of changes, but for smaller visual upgrades, the older versions looked dated. Monza for example was one of our oldest tracks.

    Hi! Great update !

    Is it possible to have some kind of before / after for the circuits with the 2020 specs?
    I am most likely blind but I can't see all the differences ...

    The new curbs in Monza are great. Much more friendly

    Something is wrong with the cut corridors on Hockenheim GP. I've had laps invalidated in turn 2 that should be valid:

    Similarly, the spawn position in leaderboard challenges is offset. The AI drives too far to the left before the controls are handed over.

    In the real Nurburgring 2020, there is no big curb inside the 4th turn. He is left in the game. Or were there no plans to remove it?

    Regarding the latest updates, thanks for fixing a few issues and adding a new improved ranking system. Great job.

    My thoughts regarding the physics, I think the car handling (obviously) has changed a bit but not drastic difference. I guess if you are pro racer you might find it a lot different. What I have noticed is a slightly looser feeling on the steering with most cars. I could probably make it a little bit firmer by adding a touch of friction in simucube or in-game ffb settings. Please confirm if i am not mistaken or if I am the only one who got this sensation? :D

    It depends on the racing series, that kerb was used in last years DTM race:

    Ok, but this is the fast chicane configuration used in the GT. And GT don't use this curb

    FR90 AI still has superpowers at the start and first braking zone. They get away inhumanly accurate, with way less wheelspin than the player, no matter how good you start. They brake into T1 like their tyres and brakes are already totally spot on in temperature. (position loss is guaranteed)

    AI 105, (no matter what track), medium tyres (like AI).

    "Controller - Added two alternative FFB profiles for Fanatec DD1 and DD2"

    Anything specific hat can be shared with regard to changes on these alternate profiles? What exactly do they do?

    Great update! Just my 2cents: I have a d-box setup and about a year ago something changed, the suspension feedback seemed borked (overly abrupt curbs or no curbs, very little road feel, harsh off-road feedback) to the point that - for me - it was unusable with motion. This update seemed to fix it. It’s possible that d-box pushed some sort of software update recently but I didn’t see anything. Either way, I can get back into one of my favorite sims, I’m very happy about that!

    The kerb was also used in last years ADAC GT Masters race. I think they only remove it for track days and the VLN races. The VLN layout of the Nordschleife doesn't have the kerb.

    Raceroom spend their time following ACC, instead of following what made them great. However in saying that nothing compares to the quality of the WTCR they have. Just a shame they have some guys working there that want to be ACC

    Challenge them and i am sure they will ban you because you pay them every time but they forget to support the main sim racers! Instead they support people with no experience because WE NEED TO BE INCLUSIVE! and PC
