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...

How do you know Paul? I can't see it anywhere on the forums, here or Reiza.

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.

My main memory of the old Hockenheim is the Piquet/Salazar fight (can't believe it's 34 years ago). There will be a few more of those if it does come to AMS.

It'll probably go out late, and the update is going to be big as we've overhauled most of the car shaders in the entire game. So I'd keep any plans for the evening informal

Just out of curiosity Alex, when you refer to "late", is that late Brazilian time?

AMS Beta updated today 1.0.99b

Think it has to be released in steam working hours, but they are Western time, in USA, but yeah I don't know if you'll have it in time for an evening race today in EU.

- Renato does the releasing, not me, but just trying to give you a heads up.
