Yeah whatever happened to the brit pack I thought we were supposed to be getting Donnington Park and another 1how we get Imola before that one

They never said anything like that. The British GT pack was announced a long time ago and the planned release date was always Winter 2021. This 2020 DLC was never announced before today.

Well the AI changes better be good because I can race GT3/4 at Imola in AMS2

So if you've got limited finances what do you buy the incoming AMS2 or ACC DLC?

I'd find a job instead of playing games.

Ouch.

Love Imola !
They should bring back tamburello now that F1 has haloes.
New tyre model could be good.

My speculation: Imola was a track already present in AC1, and it could be that the track did not need to be designed from scratch for ACC.

Personally I would get the ACC DLC, as I prefer ACC to AMS2, but we haven't had any details on prices yet. Save your pennies and get both as you will get a lot of enjoyment for your money regardless.

Also, it's in Italy, so no border control issues. According to someone on the forum, it is a confirmed new laser scan (which would make sense, otherwise Kunos were just there for the party a few months ago).

You can? Wow, I don't know how anyone races AMS2 AI. Do you get to the front before turn one and stay in front from there? I can't imagine actually racing the AI side by side. They are blind and stupid and wiggle their way around the track in a completely ridiculous fashion.

Just watched Dave Cam at Bathurst - you could be forgiven for thinking it's Wreckfest at some stages.

Current ACC AI also suck donkey balls, but it's still a lot better than AMS 2's.

 

[Ho3n3r]

The two cars are obviously the 2020 AMG GT3 and the Porsche 911 GT3-R.

Confirmed as the Ferrari and the Merc. Porsche was already added.

I don't know how anyone races AMS2 GT3/4 cars its like driving a bouncy castle lol

 

[Badwheels]

I never understand the constant complaints about AI. And that's in every game. If the Ai is unpredictable, slow, fast, won't look to see you along side, it is just training you for online races and real life street traffic. Be grateful.

 

[Mark Lawson]

Yep New 2020 tyre model coming
Meant to be a bit grippier

 

[Alex Harkett]

Looking forward to Imola.
I can’t say I’ve seen any of the upcoming AI changes that have been worked in. Should be good though. I find that they don’t really attack or defend too much, they just stick to their lines quite rigidly, so If they’re improved to have a bit more fight in them that’ll be great. I love this sim so I’ll definitely be purchasing this DLC.

You should maybe watch the trailer again and try to take notes.

 

[Not_Lifting_off]

This next AI, cant wait after seeing the changes and the way they were going in the streams, and Imola, love that track!

Happy days, well one or two anyway!

 

[Alex Harkett]

Is there a link to the footage of the new AI Wip available?

 

[Rodger Davies]

The best* getting better - will happily send a few pennies Kunos' way for one of my favourite circuits and a great set of liveries (the Gulf Porsche liveries this year were particularly nice). The AI improvements are also much appreciated, watching Stefano's AI Twitch streams was a pleasure.


Very slight disappointment not to have a new Magny Cours but I understand with everything else they're working on it would be a lot more work than Imola (that they already have a model for) and that's not feasible whilst also planning the British tracks.


Feature hope: let me curate a grid of AI liveries and driver talents (like AC Content Manager or Raceroom) please, I'm not an online racer so this would add a load of relatability.
