No way this will be available on the 18th. The scalpers will bot the whole release and put it on Ebay for a gazillion dollars. It's the way of the world these days.

One reason to smile and one to cry.
New ACC content and also on that same day, new Radeon 6800XT challenge....as in challenge yourself to get one.

In fact, IIRC, not even the travelling issue - it's mostly down to covid-related disruption at workplaces & problems handling licensing & admin issues. Something about a simple email conversation taking 6 months?

GTWC 2021 is *currently* scheduled as back to the usual circuits, so it would be nice if they returned to 2020 & added Zandvoort & Magny-Cours ( and any missing cars ). Vaccine or no I don't think we'll quite be back to normal next year, so maybe more surprises on the way.

Magny-Cours is also part of the 2021 calendar in sprint cup !

I already love the current tire model. That is why I can't wait to get my hands on a
TWENTY FIVE POINTS TIRE MODEL™!

I knew Paul Jeffrey is just a Spy and would steal the tire model from rF2.....

Is the 2020 BoP then the only BoP i have to use or depends on what season i choose?
ask for our racing league which uses the 2019 models/season.

and what is that DHE Tyre?
Completely new Tyres?

Thanks for your help.

I'm looking forward to the improved AI

(Simultaneously with the DLC release, Kunos Simulazioni will deploy the version 1.6 game update that brings an improved AI algorithm and physics, in addition to some UI and performance improvements.)

And also the new track Imola of course ha....
Bring it on November 18th

Anyone knows how much it costs or if it will be included in any of the previous DLCs?! I mean I own all previous DLCs, will I be getting this for free or what?

Oldzeb · Nov 11, 2020

Oh hey so it is - and Zandvoort too. I don't remember them from the previous calendar I looked at, but that's good news for us.

Well, don't think so because they have put a lot of effort, work and time in it. And I too have all DLC's and I'm very happy!!!

Really looking forward to 1.6

, but as much as I love Imola, probably won't be getting it this time

No, the update to 1.6 will be free. The dlc is going to be for Imola, the 488 Evo and the AMG Evo.

I understood the circuit ok but paying for a car update is a joke...F488 "evo" and amg "evo"...

You buy the track and Kunos throws in the cars and 2020 liveries for free. How does that sound?

Caepinus · Nov 12, 2020

Even if it were all free someone would complain about it...

Oldzeb · Nov 12, 2020

on rf2 the new audi was free like the new bentley...

Kunos still has to pay for the licensing. They still have to pay someone to scan the car. They still have to pay someone to model the car and work on the physics.

I don't think its absurd for kunos to want a return on their investment.
