Released McLaren 650S GT3 licensed

Awesome, thanks for the update J-F! Really looking forward to driving these new gen GT3s.

 

Thank you very much for this update. Merci beaucoup pour la situation.

 

Some V8 Supercar (Volvo & Ford I seem to remember) license was announced ages ago - can you update us on what is happening there?

Thanks.

 

They did already some month ago... short conclusion: there was no License-Announcement, just a sneak preview - V8 Supercar didn't happen at the moment, as no license-agreement exist.

 

We have already a lot of FRs - Formula RaceRooms ... so it's time for some TCRs - Touring Car RaceRooms

 

Totally agree - rather than more openwheelers, I'd like to some entry level touring cars Or classic GTs

 

Looks great so far! Excited for this one, guys.

 

A lot? I'm not sure how you classify 3 total open wheel cars amidst 30+ GT and touring cars to be 'a lot'...

 

Formula RaceRoom 1 / Formula One = announced
Formula RaceRoom Classic / Formula One 60s style = announced
Formula RaceRoom 2 / Formula 3000 / GP2 = released
Tatuus F4 Cup / Formula 4 = released
Formula RaceRoom Junior / Formula Ford = released
Formula RaceRoom U.S. / IndyCar / CART = announced (hopefully 2003 CART cars )

Enough?

 

As tongue-in-cheek as I think you're being at this point, it's worth noting just announced GT cars (not counting any of the cars currently in R3E):

McLaren 650S
Mercedes-Benz AMG
Audi R8 LMS
BMW M6
Audi TT VLN
BMW M235i
KTM X-Bow

So the grand total of open wheelers, including 3 unreleased ones, don't even equal the currently announced crop of GT cars. I can fully understand people who want different things, but saying there are a lot of open wheel cars already, or even coming, is just...silly.

For my own edification I counted the unique cars currently in R3E.

GT: 38

R8; Z4; Camaro; C6R; Ford GT; SLS AMG; GT-R; MP4-12C; Bentley; Audi TT; Audi 90 Quattro; Mustang IMSA;
300ZX; Saleen; RUF; CTS-V; M3; B6; Mustang GT3; P4-5; Gumpert; Koenigsegg; Zonda; Ruf CTR3; C25;
SLR 722; 320 Turbo; Greenwood; Dekon; Fabcar; Silvia Turbo; Skyline 2000RS; Zakspeed; SLK;
Judd; NSU TT; Procar; Silhouette

Touring: 19

Audi V8 DTM; M3 Sport Evo; Mustang GT DTM; 190E Evo II; Opel Omega; Audi DTM; Merc DTM; BMW DTM;
635 CSI; M3 E30 Gr.A; GT-R R32; Volvo 240; E90 320 WTCC; Cruze WTCC; Civic WTCC; Granta WTCC; Leon WTCC;
Elysee WTCC; Vesta WTCC

Prototype: 9

Aquila; Audi R18; DMD P20; Mistral M530; Chevy DP; SR9 AER; SR9 Judd; DMD P21; Mistral M531

All of which are still more than the 3 current and 3 planned open wheel cars.

 

I guess doing TCR ADAC would be a much better option.

 

Yeah bring on more Open Wheelers, I like to have more purple indicated cars ingame, makes me look less mad (not) buying every stuff that has been released

 

IMO more than 0 is a lot.

 

So, about the release dates of the upcoming GT3s. Are we getting the cars in the same order of the announcement?
IICR the order was: Mclaren 650s, BMW M6, Mercedes AMG and Audi R8 LMS

 

Step by step

 

Hmm...not trying to argue but generally unsure...Would you really classify the X-Bow RR as a GT car? I know it's not an open-wheeler in the common sense of the term, but I'd rather rate it as open-wheels than GT, mainly cause there's no bodywork or housing above the wheels.

 

I'm pretty sure I've seen X-Bow's in GT4 races.

 

Yeah, me too, this X-Bow GT4:


But the one coming to RR is the X-Bow RR

As above, I'm not sure how to flag this, but the lack of a roof plus the (more or less) open wheels incl. pushrod suspension make it hard for me to see it as a GT.

 

yes the xbox gt4, but the Xbow RR is a racing series on its own.

 

Well ok, it was not yesterday, but still
