Formula 1 to R3E

Kimmo Kokkonen · Apr 23, 2016

Hey, what about this car, it's very similar with F1 car.

This was an official Simbin mod for Race07 / GTR Evolution. I would like to have this kind of really fast cars in R3E also, could be more like F1 Monster with 1000 hp and Turbo, please!!!
I will pay X euros if you bring this mod available to R3E, thanks!!!

They are indeed working on a "Formula RaceRoom 1" car at the moment.

They produced a great set of liveries for the FR2 class so I expect something similar for FR1. I'm not bothered that they won't resemble the real Eff Juan teams.

Also, there is some doubt over the V8 Supercars on your list. Seems they may not be coming to R3E after all.

Oh?
Last I heard (which admittedly was a year ago) was that they'd licensed them both.
Haven't seen anything on the S3 forums to say otherwise.
Though obviously there's always the question of WHEN they might make it into the sim.

Not a definite 'no' but not really a cause for optimism either. "On ice" as J-F said.

When multi-class racing is released, I don't think I'll play any other sims for a long time.

Fair enough. Missed that one.

No great loss as far as I'm concerned.

The reason they are not ready for multi-class single player is well know, and it is the AI.

Good blue flag behaviour is difficult to program, so that is going to take time and resources.

I think multi-class racing would bolster the online play more than anything because people owning GT3 cars could race with free cars, etc.. The possibilities are endless!

Multi-class MP racing is already possible.

However, unless I'm mistaken, the positional rankings at the end of the race don't take type of car into account. For example, if 4 people are in 2015 DTM cars and 3 people are in FR2 cars, the positional rankings should show the top finishers for each category, not overall. I'm asking for "realistic" multi-class rankings with "realistic" results (category based).

Lars Hansen · Apr 26, 2016

Ah, okay.
In that case you're right, it's still to come.

Alx^ · Apr 26, 2016

Driver ranking would also bolster online-ness I think.

Any danger of having that list of what's coming, stickied and updated occasionally? I know there's a thread on the official forums with stuff in but not everyone goes there...?
