Project CARS announces that you can now buy an icon in a reasonably priced car... pack. Yes for just $2.99 on Steam you get these 5 new cars: [subhead]BMW V12 LMR[/subhead] In the final seasons of the 1990s, GT1 racing was fading away. After success as an engine supplier, BMW announced that for the 1998 season they would move up to Le Mans Prototypes with their own V12 LM roadster. After initial issues, the car was thoroughly redesigned for 1999 as the V12 LMR, and won its debut at the Sebring 12 Hours. At Le Mans, despite an accident for the #17 car and fast opposition, the #15 V12 LMR and its drivers hung on through the early morning hours and claimed overall victory by a single lap. The BMW claimed another three wins in the American endurance series that year, and another two victories during the 2000 season before being retired as BMW stepped up again, this time to Grand Prix racing. [subhead]BENTLEY SPEED8 LMGTP[/subhead] For the third year of their return to Le Mans, Bentley evolved their EXP coupe prototype into the Speed 8. Built in Norfolk in the UK, the Bentley was powered by a twin-turbo 4-litre V8 bolted to the back of a carbon-fibre tub and clothed in a sleek British Racing Green bodyshell. The 2003 Speed 8 made its debut at the 12 Hours of Sebring where it started at the back of the field yet managed to storm past all but two of its competitors to take a podium finish. For Le Mans, the Bentley team started on pole, and between their two #7 and #8 entries led almost every lap to give Bentley their first win since 1930. Mission accomplished, the five Speed 8 chassis were retired and now only make appearances at festivals and shows. [subhead]1998 MERCEDES-BENZ CLK-LM[/subhead] Despite a passing resemblance to the CLK production car, the 1997 Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR was a true prototype with only a limited run built to satisfy the GT1 ruleset. After six wins in 1997 and a further two in early 1998, the car was revised as the CLK LM, replacing the high-strung V12 engine with a venerable racing V8 based on the unit in the Sauber C9. Despite missing out on success at Le Mans, the CLK LM went on to win every other race that it was ever entered for. Such a show of dominance effectively ended the GT1 class though as nobody else could compete against it. [subhead]1997 MCLAREN F1 GTR[/subhead] With an outright win at Le Mans in 1995, the McLaren F1 immediately proved to be as competent on the race track as it was on the road. By 1997, the competition had evolved sufficiently for McLaren to introduce a new 'long-tail' body for the F1 GTR. With five wins in its first international championship season, the longtail GTR was an immediate success with wins in Spain, Italy, Britain and Belgium. The GTR kept racing in Japan for several seasons before finally becoming eligible for historic GT events. [subhead]BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT3[/subhead] In 1994, Bentley previewed a small and sporty new addition to their lineup. After a change of ownership and years of development, the Continental GT was launched in 2003. With an unusual W12 engine layout boosted by twin turbochargers, the near-200mph performance put most sportscars to shame while still offering superlative luxury. In 2013, after the launch of the new V8-powered Continental GT, Bentley announced their intention to develop a GT3 racing version. Stripped of its four-wheel-drive system and its wood and leather interior, the lightweight GT3 hit the track by the end of the year. Placing fourth on its debut in the Gulf 12 Hours, for 2014 Bentley entered two cars in the main European endurance series to demonstrate their reliability. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsLd39Zch_k If you are a Senior WMD member or higher (and you can hang ten), you should be able to get this DLC free or discounted on Steam shortly.

Jimmy Fallon cameos in Jurassic World. I'm not a big movie buff so that's probably my contribution to this thread for the next 6 months :lol:

Really makes the $12 you pay for just one RUF in iRacing stand out as a terrible rip-off.

Must be. :lol:

Ask Speeder and DJey.

I wish.

If you follow tduck twitter you'll see that Jezza, Jim, and Richo are filming something with an independant production company this week. Chris Evans is involved.

It did, which is partly why it was incredibly boring (track-list/feature wise) I speculate

Maybe. We always expected these features given the frosty reception FM5 got. T10 have previously confirmed they're sticking with locked 60FPS (good) so that may be what locks out other features. Possibly they're leveraging DX12 code-fu this time. Will we also get larger Ai grids and pit stops?

Mistakes were made but that = more intense online racing trying to get positions back

-rep :isee:

Dual motor, helical gearing, metal and leather - copied straight from the G27. :(

That black one has a somewhat R8 stance to it

I'm still not sure if it is an upgrade or just more of the same (inside) with a security chip.

Reinstalled it, and should be free in about 2-3 hours from now. Try and have something organised and maybe we can make their official community newsletter thing next week.

If it's happening to others, I suspect it's a server glitch.

Well if what SMS posted is true, there's a global shortage of PS4/Xbox 1 wheels. So Logitech have come back from the dead with perfect timing. The fact that they've had to release this new version that seems very similar to the old ones might indicate that there's no hope that the G25/G27/DFGT will ever be officially compatible. Especially when there's a buck to be made.

My SSD died... remember?

Send us an invite too, I might be up for a little more crew action. Except I need to download and reinstall it again.

Are you near Ruapuna, Josh?

It will be interesting to see what this means for the PC version as far as upgrades go. Taking off all my hats, what AC has going for it is good car licenses, modding support, laser scanned Nordschliefe + good layouts, and (depending who you ask) physics, and some good server options. From a general Joe Blow console gamer perspective, what happens if pCARS were to get Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc + more league features by 2016? Obviously no modding or player-owned dedicated servers on the consoles. Will it generate the sales to offset the expense? Hopefully the answers are yes, and hopefully that means that they'll be adding some pCARS strong points such as improved graphics, weather, and external sounds (and bring those to the PC gratis).

Cool. But the wheels won't really be that big, right?

Poor Camel

I wouldn't. I'm not even sure who owns and is running TDU2 atm.
