Good video and good thoughts. My initial thought was that this was obviously the experiment at a new rFactor platform. rFactor 3, if you will, but with a different name. I suspect without Le Mans funding, there would be no major development on rFactor. It looks like the partnership is enabling development of the platform.
Looking forward, we'll probably have a year or two of Le Mans Ultimate focus and then a new platform will be built out of the two.
At this point, to be honest, something has to give. MSG has done horribly, so far. This might be the last gasp.
I just don't understand why no other sim understands the value proposition of iRacing-like every-series-every-hour online racing. I know it can't be easy but these sims are going to keep languishing until one of them commits.
