Please please please please please lets get some GT3 911's and a nice little LMP1 car (or 2)

Actually scratch that, anything from Porsche will do me just fine

I prefer racing cars over street cars and Porsche has quite some history there. If even a third of the cars showing the video are included....

 

[Jempy]

Porsche back in simracing and ... in AC ...that's the best news heard of AC !

Of course Porsche deserves the name of "Kraken" ... even an enormous one !

 

[Helmut Skrdla]

This will be big.

I genuinely believe a statue for Marco should be erected. What tactics is that man using to get these licenses.

So they announced two packs full of Porsches! So exciting!! Instabuy for me!
Please please let the 917/30 and 962C be part of them. Two great wip projects by talented modders from the community that deserve to be part of the game.

Great news. Hopefully some Group C action incoming.

 

[Paul Jeffrey]

Breaking news... the DLC will contain the Porsche 924 in 15 different versions. No other models licenced

#disappointed

The more you think about it, the better it becomes. Have we ever seen a sim before with Ferrari, McLaren, Lamborghini and Porsche all represented? Just.. wow.

 

[Eduard Mallorquí]

If Stefano was half as good as Marco at getting licenses we would already have rain, night, timed races and false starts on AC.

A sim with the holy trinity. This is gonna be so amazing!

 

[Bob Schumaker]

Great news. I really like A/C so much better than Project Cars.

 

[Emerson Meyer]

Amazing!!!

 

[Paul Jeffrey]

If Stefano was half as good as Marco at getting licenses we would already have rain, night

Securing a licence from god to recreate rain and night might prove difficult...

It I were him I'd just do it and see if he gets slapped with a copyright claim

You always s**tposting and trying to set a negative tone, even in a thread completely unrelated to Stefano.
