No arm animations?

I was watching ST's movie here (awesome stuff by the way):

But eh no arm animations in the star mazda? Is that just in the replays or also in car view?

Circuit Park Zandvoort due in 2010

iRacing will soon add The Netherlands’ Circuit Park Zandvoort to its burgeoning catalogue of race tracks. Data collection of the historic seaside circuit will begin this summer with finished versions expected to be available on the service in early 2010.

The former home of the Dutch Grand Prix, Zandvoort ranks among Europe’s classic racing venues, with a roll call of winners that includes names like Fangio, Clark, Stewart, Lauda and Andretti. The track was also the site of BRM’s first F1 success and the legendary Ford-Cosworth DFV engine’s win in its 1967 debut. More recently, Zandvoort has hosted DTM events as well as the RTL Masters Formula 3 race which, along with the Monaco and Macau F3 races, is a leading international showcase for aspiring F1 drivers.

With last month’s announcement that Brand Hatch and Oulton Park will join Silverstone in the iRacing service, the addition of Zandvoort underscores iRacing.com’s international scope. Additional international venues – along with some new North American tracks – are expected be announced in the coming months.

iR in 2010 is looking better and better.

Sander Hogendoorn · Jul 6, 2009

Just saw the announcement, awesome :jump:

James Yates · Jul 6, 2009

Awesome, more European tracks = epic win

Only 3 they need now are Donington - in its current state but add the Dunlop bridge back in, Spa and the Nurburgring

Zandvoort classic version? That one is simply incredible with the track sweeping thru the dunes and coastline, hmm... Will this be the moment to buy i.... (naah, not yet)

I don't get the requests for the Nordschleife - great track to drive on, yes, but it doesn't 'fit' in iR's racing structure IMO; a structure that promotes the idea of taking time to learn and hone your skills on that particular week's track before even thinking of racing it. Most races I've had on the Ring in other sims have come down to who crashes least.

My personal wishlist has largely been fulfilled by Brands and Oulton, but in addition to those I'd put Spa at the top of the list (despite the fact that the lower classes of racing wouldn't fit there very well) followed by Donington, and Imola.

That's the main reason why I would like it - its fun on Evo but the cars on iRacing are a lot more fun to drive. It wouldn't work too well in races, but time trials and practice sessions would be fine. Let me put it this way - I know you would be up for a few laps around there in a Skippy or the Mazda, just for comical value if nothing else

I would prefer if they brought some other tracks out first though, Spa and Donington are the 2 I would really like, but your suggestion of Imola is good aswell. Bathurst would be a great addition considering there is a good number of Aus/NZ members - new servers in Australia too. Would also like to see Varano (with the Jetta

) and Suzuka/Twin Ring Motegi.

I doubt Nordschleife will ever make it to iRacing. A 'normal' road track is worth 25 bucks, this will probably go over $100, I don't think many people will pay for it (although I think I will buy Nordschleife if it's $100, hehe).

LOL, thats the spirit Sander

I would do the same probably.

Jamie Wilson · Jul 6, 2009

One other I must add to my list there; and it's localish to Zandvoort incidentally, is Zolder. Then we'd need a spec touring car support series (JTCC/Clio sort of level); perfect.

It will only be the current version. It's highly unlikely that they would be adding any non-laser-scanned tracks to the game at this point.

Bram Hengeveld · Jul 6, 2009

A correct Zandvoort version is always welcome, new or old. No sim to date has been able to create a decent version of the track.
Why must i buy that Solstice and all that crap first to race my favorite local track
