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...

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

Or even better Surfers, not the newer short version but the proper one. The SCE mod is okay as a stopgap but it would be great to enjoy the full AMS polish.

 

[Oscar Hardwick]

Maybe the manufacturer pack will be Lotus? Because Caterhams are coming and you know... they are somewhat related companies.

 

[Lorencini]

My guess for manufacturer pack: AUDI

- Audi Quattro vintage rally car, both covering historic/heritage and offroad racing (point-to-point support for AMS is on its way, right?)
- 2016 R8 LMS GT3, for all the GT afficionados that complain AMS miss GT3 cars
- Audi TT Cup car, a mid-speed racing car, great for online racing as well (farewall, montana lol)
- A road car, maybe an A4 ou A5, to complete the pack and put some brand market value in it.

- Bonus: 2016 DTM RS5 (I know, R3E currently has the DTM brand, but dreaming is still free, right? )

 

[DEIC]

Why not for the manufacturer pack: Aston Martin ?

 

[Cheesenium]

I think manufacturers such as Renault would go well with AMS as they have a good lineup of both legacy and modern race cars.

Cars like Renault Clio Cup, Renault Megane Trophy, Renault RS01 (Both the current GT model and the late 80s F1), Formula 3.5 and Formula 2.5 would fit AMS's diverse line up really well.

Ideally, it would be nice if AMS could get Ferrari or Porsche as they also have really diverse motorsports selections.

 

[Lorencini]

Couldn't agree more, thats why I guessed Audi. Same reason.

 

[Heikki21]

I hope Macau or Pau is one of the non permanent road course
But it's more a wish than a real assumption

@Alex Sawczuk Any chance of some RX tracks at some point? Seems a shame having the RX cars and only 2 places to use them Pretty please?

 

[Warren Schembri]

@Alex Sawczuk
Come on, we know you just want to do this

 

[Nox]

I'm not someone who usually requests specific things, my post is more a curiosity... WILL there be any more RX tracks! I'd happily pay for an RX DLC...

Hockenheim with its 6.8km pre 2001 circuit is not really a ''long historical variant'', though.

What are you talking about?
Hockenheim now is basically just a kart track compared to it's glory back in the days.

It was about twice as long as now?

It's nothing nowadays, it has lost all its character. So hyped for the proper version coming to AMS.

I'd just like to see the Brit Pack released already LOL. This time next week, it'll be a full month late and we haven't heard a peep from Reiza. They've been quieter than a library for church mice.

Pretty impatient myself. Renato said it would be "real soon" a couple of days ago.

 

[hex]

Renato said "very soon" yesterday

 

[Paul Bennett]

They say it's a Steam issue

 

[xnorb]

Oh man, those of you who haven't touched Brit Pack yet: Get some towels to clean up all the drooling mess A really great combination of great tracks and cars.

The "proper version" wasn't that much loved back in the day.

I think I prefer the new one especially if racing with slower cars.

 

[xnorb]

Old Hockenheim was great for what it was: A highspeed course for high powered F1 cars.
For anything else the new Ring is way better.

 

[Eric Rowland]

Hockenheim in the wet was dreaded by all drivers. The track was very narrow as well. And the memory of Jim Clark........
