    Hello, I'm pretty new with RaceRoom, so there is something I'm curious about. I enter search options on the store, like GT3/GT4, and a picture and the name of a car shows, but there is no link to a page. One example is a Merc GT4 2020. Is this like a preview of something that may become available in the future, something planned that never happened, a mistake, etc?


    Well, I tried to link a picture from imgur, but it gave me a "sneaky url" warning. Anyway, one of the cars that shows in the search results is a Mercedes AMG GT4 2020.

    This.

    Another example would be the "Porsche 911 GT3 R" (not to be confused with the "Porsche 911 GT3 R (2019)"). That's an entirely different story. It was removed by Porsche's request when a 2019 version came out, but the older one is still on the store so that the people who own the car but not all liveries, were able to buy the rest of the liveries. This regularly creates confusion.

    Any chance there's a list of the current WIP content? :rolleyes:

    Sometimes a car gets leaked/teased, but there is no (public) list with WIP content as far as I know

    Bentley Continental GT3 (GTR3 class)
    Mercedes-AMG GT3 (GTR3 class)
    BMW E30 M3 Drift Spec
    Ford Mustang Mach-E 1400
    BMW 320 E36 Judd V8 (maybe)

    Is it a WIP car? I heard this car is used in Raceroom cafes.

    I don't know, the last patch did contain some changes to the model, though.

    This car was on the physics list since this list was first posted over a year ago. Then Alex said this car in used in cafes. Now I see this car shows up for AIs if you create a practice/race session in Hillclimb cars. So I assumed it's complete but is not supposed to come to our online game as a drivable car.

    P.S. Interesting that Georg Plasa's 134 does not show up for AI. Is it only players who can use it?

    What's the deal with having fully developed cars that only the A.I can use? (Unless of course they aren't fully developed)

    Licensing issues maybe?

    I thought that but then why make them available to A.I? I have no clue how the process works so maybe that's OK in terms of licensing but it seems strage.

    I just listed the cars that are already present in the game files, they are surely working on more cars already.

    Wow, incredible. You are right. I noticed 3 new ford mustang folders, one of them is clearly recognizable by the directory name, but 2 others are not (and seems to be abandoned or something)
    Btw, they posted here on forums that they are working on drm cars. Hope its true

    Which cars do you mean? I don't see any abandoned ones there, they are all in the game except this Mach E.
