Your prediction for the big announcement dec 31st

Yes, and a very lovely car it is for sure. I like be race cars for obvious reasons but the RUF and F40 have been taking up all my seat time...

They really put the fun in hot lapping, it's not just you vs the track, you need to use all your driving moxy to make them sing...

But some focus on racing features would be very welcomed sooner than later.

 

I remember about 6 years ago when I was repairing parking meters heard this glorious sound in the distance and stopped to listen for a second then went back to work, well the sounds got closer and closer then it was right behind me. So I turned around and there was this beautiful red lambo countach parked and the guy got out to ask me info about the meters. We had a nice convo and exchanged cards as he was some bigwig in tv production and I was a professional actor working p/t to pay rent/bills etc. So I caved and asked if can sit in it and he obliged and it fit like a glove, then of course we got bombarded by everyone around but it was a nice 15 min of time spent with a lambo owner.

 

I watched the video from Kunos and why the hell is the Nissan GTR GT3 RHD? (same goes for the Nissan in R3E )

btw: imo the Bmw suits the Dream pack Dlc much better than the ruf.

 

idk, from the vid it looked like it was RHD.

 

ofcourse i meant RHD but never saw it on track, all customer GT3 Nissans are LHD

 

true, true they even had JRM visit them (or the track, at least) and that one was LHD as well. Not sure what it'll be.

 

Because the real car is. The JP, UK version has higher emission restrictions and the series they run has strict production rules regarding the power plant so the GT car is based on the NA version, just like the nismo version.

this car is also one of the few awd racecars... Most teams opt for rwd for weight savings (power to weight ratio).

 

Nice!

2015 will be exciting year for the virtual racing fans indeed!

Thanks Kunos.

 

Ferrari, Lambo, McLaren, Pagani, Mercedes
I think I know the mystery behind all the license "magic". Marco is a son of Michael Corleone. First he asks nicely, if it doesn't work then he's making an offer they can't refuse.
Oh crap now he need to kill me.

 

I don't think the GT3 is AWD bro, all GT3 race cars are RWD due to regulations, or else the Audi R8 would have had quattro
And all GT3 GTR's are LHD as far as I know.

 

Kunos didn't disappoint!

 

Indeed, the GT3 GT-R is RWD, it's still powered by the same VR38DETT, which is nice.I suppose 4WD/AWD is still in the works, and will be implemented with the street GT-R or the Audi's.

 

It's the Italian connection. It's not what you know. It's who you know. These Don Bambino's are not to be messed with.

 

Looks like Brands Hatch, Barcelona and Zandvort landing this year too!

 

Right. A bunch of announcements, no new fixes or content. They probably planned to Ruf release a day or two early so folks wouldn't gripe about no big, giant, huge eve announcement.

We still have a great simulator, which is pretty much featureless, and packed with bugs, things that don't work, and empty promises (still basic MP pits, no AI pits in single-player, and no server-side tools or live MP timing-- all of which all past and present racing titles have, no matter how awful they are otherwise).

For real, Kunos sure didn't disappoint. It's amazing what people can put up with.

Hopefully both.

 

I wonder what is so exciting about those Lambo cars that people here drool about? The shape? Nope, they all look identical, like an angular wedge; I wouldn't probably be able to distinguish an Aventadoor from a Gallardo. They're even more boringly the same than the Porsches. So the sound maybe? Well.....a high-pitched V8 that sounds like an electric drill. Coupled with Assetto's so-so sound engine...... I don't want to know. The history? True, they were invented by a tractor manufacturer, but apart from that they're mostly driven by rich playboys or wealthy dentists going through the mid-life crisis. "I have a lot of money, no personality, no brain and no purpose in life.....what to do? I know! I'll get myself a Lambo, I'll be original and creative!'

.......

Meanwhile, an advertisement for a racing game:

'Imagine a racing sim where you will be able to race intelligent computer opponents without them rear-ending you at the first opportuninty, pushing you off into the grass, for which you will receive a penalty. Imagine intelligent computer opponents who DO NOT stop like idiots just before Eau Rouge, only to pass you seven seconds later on the straight when you're already going flat-out. Imagine being able to actually shift into the first gear BEFORE the starting lights go out, holding the clutch in. Imagine the freedom of turning the pit-limiter on at will and actually driving along the pits by yourself! Imagine being shown a blue flag during a race, just like in reality! Imagine smooth and flawless online racing, without cars appearing and disappearing at random, and without idiots crashing into you* at Turn One every race! Imagine........ ah, stop imagining things, get a Lambo and ejaculate!'


* I know, I know. Kunos don't have the power to remotely send brainless *****s to uranium mines for life......which is a pity.

 

Would it be that difficult for Kunos to provide RHD versions of the cars where they exist? I'd pay a few quid for a DLC with the feature if that's what it takes....

Brands Hatch and Zandvoort I like a lot. Barcelona isn't a personal favorite, but could still be interesting.
