Donington is good, but I would prefer Oulton Park or Thruxton. Something a bit different, a track which isn't often included in sims.

Hannes-Joshua Thor Barthel · Jun 9, 2013

Well I think too Eau Rouge is one of the most beautifull Corners... and Spa is a Track which should usually be in any Sim

..

Tom · Jun 10, 2013

Rouen-Les-Essarts is nice as well, although not well-known. pCARS has it.

I would die happy man if this combo would be true one day.

The corners in top of the mountain are truly unbeliveable.

Seems like we'll get SPA

The thing is that spring is almost over and every time I start Tech Preview I can see that AC will be released Spring 2013. I think we deserve a real NEWS, not just another hint, screen or movie.

Arkadiusz Wawrzyniak · Jun 10, 2013

If so, AC will be the best sim for GT fans. That is what I miss in iRacing.

Ben Lee · Jun 10, 2013

I don't think we will see AC released until probably something like Q4 of 2013, and even then I think there is a chance it may slip to 2014, perhaps. There is zero chance of Q2 (obviously), and if they are installing as many features as I hear, then Q3 is probably optimistic too.

BanjoMaster · Jun 10, 2013

Spa is one of the tracks that, for me, means they can take as long as they need. If they do La Sarthe, I will have their babies. No joke.

it's the constant new licenses and "to be added to v1.0" that gets me thinking we wont see this Sim until next year, their recent lack of straight forward answers leads me to believe that it's not gonna be released anytime soon.

Michael Hornbuckle · Jun 10, 2013

They can take the time they need as far as I'm concerned. Every time I make laps in the tech preview it reminds me how great this will be. Waiting sucks but it isn't so bad when you know the product will be worth it.

On the positive side I think kunos have probably nailed the physics and any delay is likely to add content rather than to fix glaring issues in the physics and tire model. For example the TD looks fairly solid , what was shown at games-com also looked good and the Ferrari simulator using AC engine also looked fairly decent on the face of it.

Where as Pcars and RF2 still seem to have very large holes in the physics with very hit and miss content.

So when AC does come out its likely it will be a very shiny rounded product rather than something you have to hope over the next 2 years will be ironed.

I don't think Kunos want to really give a date , or say anything now other than show of content or screen shots of stuff that's done because they know its easy to end up missing a release date and they don't want people to latch onto things in the wrong way.

fanatec92 · Jun 10, 2013

Compare the mirrors. I'm disappointed Kunos that's not like a sim should be.

no parts of the car and three times the same picture thats really really sad.

And who can blame them? What major developer hasn't missed a milestone deadline in the last two years?

As always, 'released when ready' is better than 'broken now'.

To everybody waiting, you should all just hop on for some laps in NetKar Pro.

You can find people for pickup racing at:

Regarding the release date, I don't expect release to happen within 6 months of an announcement. And the fact that the last release date of Spring 2013 has come and gone without any comment about it, I do not see it coming out until at least November. Just my guess.

Sebastian Wolff · Jun 10, 2013

I`m still optimistic and say July....

You do have a point (also the complete road in the mirrors is not perfect either, looks like the "angle" is not implemented) but without sounding rude, this is the wrong thread for something like that and it is only a techdemo.

Spa would be one of the most iconic and best tracks to get in AC, after they posted "the most beautiful corner" post on the AC Facebook it was clear that it means something (at least to me

), I don't think they would post that without reason on the official AC Facebook

I think they posted such a cryptic thing before and later announced something or am I wrong (couldn't find it though...)?

, someone posted this on the iRacing forum... I don't think we have seen Silverstone on these simulators yet... and a little flip running over a kerb
