Excellent, really glad to see they're looking at the depth of content, not just breadth.

crying about the prize and the "broken game" in 3..2...1...

Cheesenium · Dec 22, 2020

Very nice. Oreca finally has a friend.

mibrandt · Dec 22, 2020

Oh boy. So much good stuff getting released for RF2 at the moment. I really hope they get the game sorted soon - then theres a LOT of stuff to be bought !

Gevatter · Dec 22, 2020

Oh, DLC pack sound intriguing.

Welcome to the complaints family

Brilliant news! If we could get a half decent lmp1 now, it would all be sorted (but perhaps they are waiting for hypercar...)

Because lmp1 no longer exists irl

I'd be happy if I could just get my mouse pointer to work in the new UI, I've given up trying to get them to fix all the the hundred year bugs. But I'm not one to bear a grudge, I'll be buying this DLC for sure, the Ligier looks stunning, and the Caddy too. Hopefully a bug- free release.

I also have this bug from time to time that I didn't have before...I don't know why I have to get out of the race/training combo and come back for it to reappear.

Nice addon and looking forward to the pack! Good to see Rf2 improved massively in 2020.

Nano10 · Dec 22, 2020

Excellent, all the categories to later spend hours and hours simulating races at Le Mans, Sebring etc.

Instant buy, great RF2, keeps growing.

Um, that was kinda the point of my post...

That's not a new UI bug either. I've had it a couple of times and I still use the old UI.

Extra frustrating when I'm supposed to be an admin, I kinda need to see what I am clicking on!

Excellent addition, will be great to add depth to endurance racing grid. A step in the right direction for S397 in making RF2 a more complete endurance race simulator.

Does anyone consistently play Rf2 in VR. It offers the worst VR experience of all the major sims IMO. Curious if others have been able to make it work for them.

Logan812 · Dec 22, 2020

Okay, it’s been several updates since I checked, so have some major bugs, the continuously worse AI with each update, the tire pressure and aero/swaybar exploits been fixed? No, just more DLC? Cool.

Joking aside though, these cars are awesome along with an official DPi for rF2. I’m curious to see how different the new Corvette will behave compared to the old.

I do, on sunday I did a 2h race with the GT3s at Okayama and yesterday a GTEs 90min one at Hockenheim. Both flawless, both with the AI.
