gt3 cup in January, LMP1 in the works.

Finally, an LMP car besides all those GT cars and Le Mans track and interesting premises for a proper endurance championship. It took them long enough... But this could really bring (back) a lot of people to iRacing, I know I'll definitely renew my subscription and give it another chance, this is something I have been waiting for a very long time.

yep, with the ferrari lemans car in the works as well all that is missing is an up-to-date lmp2 contender, here's hoping for sth. like the current ligier, alpine or oreca. oh yes, and say goodbye to the RUF, rest in peace, it was fun while it lasted.

Wonder what will happen to the RUF series, but good news for iRacing, and sims in general. Porsche is now well and truly back, no special deals required.
