You wouldn't believe how beautiful sicily is in some parts.
There's a reason Goethe said "To have seen Italy without having seen Sicily is not to have seen Italy at all, for Sicily is the clue to everything.".

You have made me enjoy watching the photos and videos. Thanks for this gift!

Nice to hear! Does anyone have any idea how long until the first free release? I would buy the subscription but cannot really afford that currently...

I have no idea yet how pledges work on Patreon (if there is a minimum time you need to pledge), but it's as low as 1€ per month it seems... which should be possible for anyone really

Enjoy!

Hey Michael,
thanx a lot for the pics and the video of the Targa Florio. I´ll definetly have to go there. I´ve started driving Assetto Corsa tracks in the real world last year with the MX5 and have been to Monte Bondone, Mugello, Nordschleife and Aspertsham.

I doubt it will be anytime soon. Other than that, it's really hard to tell.

Is There or Is there likely to be a production roadmap, like a list of tasks left before the first release?

How many of us driving the Targa Florio now?
Sure is looking good!

Are there any updated resources showing the current state of the track? Was thinking about becoming a patron, but kinda wanna see the current state, especially of any built-up areas

How do we (who monthly support) get updates?

Ah... I was missing it because its Patreon!
Lol!
Thanks much!!

I took the latest build available on Patreon for a spin with a Ferrari GTO: definitely not the best drive, but the track is improving. I can't imagine what it would be to race 11 laps on it, as Wikipedia reports!

Billy Pilgrim · Aug 17, 2020

Wow!
That looks so good already. I can't wait. By the looks of it, this is gonna be something very special.

Having recently participated in a Targa time trial competition in AMS, I can kinda sorta imagine what 11 laps would feel like. Grueling is the word that comes to mind

But I have the AMS version at least somewhat memorized, and it has a fair amount of "landmarks" to help you. This version I haven't even began to memorize

I kinda start to get lost a few kilometers after Cerda

I guess most of us would be doing laps taking 45 mins to over an hour, no?

Eleven laps.... so that's gonna be some 11 hours of driving?! (I'm gonna need to eat at some point though

)

Davide Nativo · Aug 18, 2020

Remember guys that while they did 11 laps, they also were two drivers per car, just as for any other endurance race back then

So I won't need a pee bottle?

Some did the entire Targa by themselves. For instance Umberto Maglioli won in 1953 (Lancia) and 1956 (Porsche 550A) driving the entire distance. There are probably others too, but he's the only winner I'm aware of that did it alone.
The cars needed a lot of refuel, so pit stop are for drivers too!
