Have Your Say: Things to Look Forward to in 2018

Paul Jeffrey · Jan 9, 2018

The first 'Have Your Say' of 2018 is here! Have a read and get your responses submitted in the comments section below!

Traditionally at the end of a calendar year I would write a little summary of the previous 12 months and look forward to what is in store the following year. However sometimes I wonder if my personal opinion matches that of our substantial community, and more often than not I end up missing something that many people feel should be included. With those lessons learnt I thought it might be interesting to turn the tables and let you folks tell us the what sounds exciting for 2018, so here goes!

The question for this, the first 'Have Your Say' of 2018, is:

Tell us what sim racing related things you are looking forward to in 2018!

Have fun, stay respectful and let us know your thoughts in the comments section below!

Nope it isn't a weekend, it's just that I've not got anything else newsworthy to write about so I thought 'why not?'. Plus my pedals have broken, so I can't even race...

I am looking forward to new Reiza title, I hope to see something new soon!

I was very much looking forward to GTR3, however once again it seems the news earlier this year was just a joke. So apart from that, everything, but better!

Paul first of all thanks for all the great info etc we where given in 2017.
Since trying many of the so called sims on here, i only started playing rf2 from the xmas steam sale and wow this game although hasn't got the graphic appeal its certainly makes up for it in the feel and the feeling of been involved in a actual race ,from the marshals waving their flags, great ai , to the effect of turning the wheel, so am really looking forward to see and how this game is improved even further, i wish i had played this sim earlier, in terms to other games i would like to see improvements with AI in raceroom to me this is what lets this game down slightly, like to see someone else take the f1 games on (bring back geoff Crammond) however since playing the 1988 mod in rf2 probably won't buy another f1 game! Ams in my view needs to get a little better in the looks department and feel , and AC needs to improve a little on driving physics. other wise i quite happy!!!!!!

More cars coming for Gran Turismo Sport. And Tracks. Looking forward to both. Finding that game to be so much fun.

Will the next Reiza title go early access this year? Otherwise it seems like quite a slow year in terms of big news.

Brownninja97 · Jan 9, 2018

Whatever Kunos is working on
Whatever Reiza is working on
Whatever free stuff Polyphony throws at GranTurismo
GRAVEL: will be my rally fill for the year
GTR3? if its a thing still
Onrush: Bit unsure about what it is but motorstorm was sorta fun back in the day and this is evos next title
Beamng: Its still in infancy after however long but it may come together this year
Rfactor 2 dlc and better ui
Project cars 2 dlc: might be good
Ride 3? Not a sim but ride 2 was really fun, my first bike game with like 200 bikes was crazy

I'm probably being overly optimistic, but I'm looking forward to seeing day to night transitions in iRacing. I doubt it will be this year though, but I think that will make their 24 hour events spot on. I know they teased 2new lmp cars (already out of date) but I don't think we'll see them until the transition and to be fair lighting effects are in place. Also they need address the mass disconnect that happened a few times and totally ruined the le mans event.

24 hour events at Spa, the ring and le mans would be worth renewing for in 2019....

I don't know what the other titles have lined up, but I'm definitely going to be keeping an eye on raceroom too.
