AMS DLC Speculation Thread!

[Nox]

Okay, so Reiza released their September dev update and laid out some hints about upcoming content, so let's all chime in with what we think it might be! I'm not part of the backer program, so if you guys all know already, let us know if you're allowed, or at least let us have our fun! I've not kept up with all the development news, so if I missed something, let me know.

Here's what Reiza said:
October
Brit Pack

November:
Legendary Tracks Part 1: Imola (1972, 1988, 2001, 2016 versions)
New Series – TBA (hint: big and heavy)

December:
New series – TBA (hint: Classic content)

January 2017:
Legendary Tracks Part 2 – TBA (hint: it´s got a long historical variant)

February 2017:
Car pack from a major manufacturer – TBA (hint: it´s awesome)

March 2017:
Legendary Tracks Part 3 – TBA (hint: not a permanent road course)
Aussie Racing Car

--

So, what do you think we're getting? My guesses, based on snippets I've read here and there over the months are:

November could be the Formula Trucks making their way into the game
December could be Divisao 3
January: I've heard Hockenheim is coming along, so I guess this is it.
March: Not a permanent road course... Le Mans? Monaco?

I've also seen elsewhere mention that we might be getting a Group B Rally Car, a Pike's Peak type hillclimb, Autodromo Internacional de Yahuarcocha from Ibarra Ecuador.

So, let the speculation begin...

 

[Alex Sawczuk]

Keep guessing guys. No one's got it all right yet

 

[Alexandre Costa]

Can't you just say when it's going to be revealed?

 

[4 8 15 16 23 42 108]

This means many got it right for a great amount of it hehe

 

[Paul Bennett]

@Alex Sawczuk , even if we were spot on you would n't tell us

 

[MoerasGrizzly]

Big and Heavy - Well, it has to be the Formula Trucks..
Classic Content - Can Am! Niels always said he wanted a go at Can Am and they were voted up pretty highly in the poll
Legendary Track Part 2 - I'm going with Spa. Partly because it was the second highest voted in the Track thing.
Partly because it does have a long historical variant.
(Or it's the Nurburgring where the long historical variant is a cover for the Nordschleife and Sudschleife )
Car pack from a major Manufacturer - I'm going with Jaguar, for the hell of it.
Legendary Track Part 3 - It's not a pernament road course. Hmm. According to the track vote, Sebring got quite a lot of votes, and Sebring is not a permanent road course, and it has seen many changes to ensure that the airfield could actually be used. Might be a neat addition to Mendig

 

[Nox]

I think "classic content" has pretty much already been confirmed previously as Divisao 3 (unless there's more coming we don't know of); how many of the models they'll include, not sure.

 

[Raphael Zanardi]

Formula Truck!!!

Yup, these are entered already and for quite some time now in the realfeel.ini.

Legendary Tracks Part 1: Imola (1972, 1988, 2001, 2016 versions)
New Series – TBA (hint: big and heavy) Trucks

December:
New series – TBA (hint: Classic content) Divisao 3

January 2017:
Legendary Tracks Part 2 – TBA (hint: it´s got a long historical variant) Hockenhiem

February 2017:
Car pack from a major manufacturer – TBA (hint: it´s awesome) Peugeot, Renault or Audi

Just for some context on those calls. I couldn't make a sensible guess on one being more likely than the other. But all these manufacturers are ok with their licensing. Renault and Audi more so than Peugeot. All 3 manufacturers could cover the "Rally car" spoken about a few months ago and particularly with Peugeot or Renault the ties may already be there from previous series licenses that Reiza have had or have currently. Audi is just a good bet because you basically just have to ask nicely for their license and you get it.

March 2017:
Legendary Tracks Part 3 – TBA (hint: not a permanent road course) Le Mans, Adelaide or Bathurst? (Or Pikes Peak)
Aussie Racing Car

They said at Reiza it'd be pikes peak originally. I feel as though there wouldn't be much reason to change previously announced content but at the same time IF anything were to change I reckon it'd be this 3rd track. An Aussie circuit is a good bet considering the car releasing during the same month.


Of course I could be talking complete arse. @Alex Sawczuk will say I am wrong anyways.

 

[Jan Mikuž]

If the Legendary Tracks DLC is to contain many layouts/tracks than the 3rd one must as well...
Which one, other than Pikes, could come in multiple variants/layouts ?

The car that comes with it hints at an Aussie track...but as noted by Renato, things are still subject to change, reshuffle...

 

[roby13]

Ford is also a reasonable choice. Group b car and a mustang to pair it with the Camaro

 

[Emery]

The thing with the "legendary" tracks is I would expect more than one layout? Bathurst only has one, right?

Bathhurst has had 3 basic layouts through history: originally a gravel road, then paved, then the kink put into the Conrod Straight downhill.

 

[quicksilver384]

Good points, but I am trying to think of what other long historical variants are there? Spa?

Could be monza. If i recall there was a 10k+ layour or even maybe nordschliefe

 

[quicksilver384]

Oooo formula truck around nordschliefe could be fun

 

[Alexandre Costa]

Oooo formula truck around nordschliefe could be fun

It would be insane.

 

[pingu666]

someone ported the ring to formula truck so u can do that, and solitude too... :o, or it could be nascar?

the classic series might be front engined f1 car, that was high up on the voting wish list , and rare in sims

 

[Dethrone1427]

I personally think Ford is the car manufacturer. Definitely nordschliefe for the historic variant track...that has to be in ANY racing title now if it wants to be taken seriously as a racers simulation title these days.

 

[Rix Hart]

March 2017:
Legendary Tracks Part 3 – TBA (hint: not a permanent road course) Adelaide

 

[Nox]

It could well be Adelaide; I seem to remember aaages ago Patrick Giranthon saying he was working on it but I don't remember seeing it done. Maybe he and Reiza teamed up and are doing it together for an official release
