No image displayed :-( I do remember most the *sound* of that Jag at Silverstone - it's growl was even more prominent that the Bentley or the AMG!
There are no more GT3 Jaguars racing in world This car is about 8 years old, while most GT3s right now are almost brand new (Bentley has 2 years, Huracan and 650s have 1 year)
Shame, I loved the noise it made! Mind you, the Bentley (almost) makes up for it... The Ferrari 458's must be getting on a bit now too, though? I wonder how long before they'll all be replaced by the 488s
http://www.topgear.com/car-news/first-look/meet-jaguar-f-type-gt3-racer Yeah, but afaik the idea was dropped in 2014 already.
I miss alot the Ferraris and Lamborghini but would i remember from the devs it's that both license are way to much expensive its the same like the Le mans track.
Yepp, now I realize S3 aren't made of money but Kunos aren't a big studio either and yet they've managed. I understand it's not always easy, could be costly, is a matter of priorities etc. But I do think the struggling artist angle is used a little too often. Not by the developers themselves mind you, but it's often used as a catch all response across several forums when features, licenses etc are brought up.
Kunos *are* much bigger (they certainly have many more paid users...) than Sector 3, they're also based in Italy and have previously had links with Ferrari on another game, Ferrari Virtual Academy
Wikipedia which I admit is not always the most accurate of sources actually pegs Sector 3 as having 5-10 times the amount of employees compared to Kunos. I'll give you Ferrari, that leaves Lambo. Licenses like those two certainly helps getting users too. I know I'm not the only one who was excited to throw a Countach around a track. And Le Mans etc will sell more then Norisring as well.
That number of 50+ is way too much. It's a relic from Simbin days, but even then that was counting all (internal and external) employees I think. Now it's about 20 people, including external contractors (J-F said in that skype interview iirc), only 6 or 7 at the main office. Kunos should be about the same, no way they are still coping with 5 dudes. Some people want popular content, others are looking for unique content, stuff no other sim can offer. RR offers a good balance of both, with lots of stuff you won't find in any other product.
Yeah I'm not saying Lambo/Ferrari or bust, heck if the displays are alright I'm pumped for the 650 and the M6. And I'm real happy about the new content to the GTO's etc. I was more arguing against the notion that you need to be Turn 10 to acquire popular content. Figured 50+ was wrong. But that still makes S3 2-4 times bigger then Kunos. Or of a similar size if the Kunos numbers don't report external contractors.
You forgot that ac is connected with Ferrari. It’s the same like Gran turismo and all japanese manufactures.
Yeah it seems like r3e has the best connections with German manufacturers, which isn't a bad thing But I would love some Italian gt3 goodness.
I guess licensing, like any other business relation, is only partly governed by money. If you know a guy who knows the guy who's in charge of xy...you get my drift. As far as tracks are concerned, S3 announced partnership with Tilke last year so I'm (mostly) looking at their credentials for possible future tracks.
