I'll update it, give me a minute...I don't know how to black out the light covers but I can put the black rims from the blue one on it...I'm sure soon somebody will make better black rims.

Michael Hornbuckle · Apr 12, 2014

The AI in 0.8.5 are amazing! Well, the Formula Abarth AI are at least. They're soooo much better now, less sporadic, in fact, they're not sporadic at all, I just did 3 races at the Nurburgring GP, Monza and Vallelunga, and man, such an improvement over the previous build.

It's actually somewhat similar to racing people online. I just wanna keep doing it!

My second race against the AI was pretty amazing...enjoy:

Oh goody, another Lotus. How many more can there be?!!

Tom Michelmore · Apr 12, 2014

There are 7 BMW's in the game. Don't hear anyone complaining about that do we? So please be quiet.

The Thorn MJ · Apr 12, 2014

We still have a good amount of cars to get from them, so don't mind all the Lotuses. It is just a license they made good use of.

Im quite keen to see that Tatuus Prototype PY 012 car. It looks ugly as sin, but if it's even half as enjoyable to drive as these new Lotus GT4 cars then bring it on!

Not sure how far down the pipeline it's scheduled for release, but it looks like a cool car.

They're not just "another Lotus". They're GT series Lotus' so before you knock them get behind the wheel and give them a drive.

The 2 new Lotus are really good imo. In fact, the last patch gives me even higher hopes for the future of AC than I had already. Not even tried race weekend yet.

No Modding Menu

Will only be able to try this on Sunday or Monday...

Michael Hornbuckle · Apr 12, 2014

There won't be a modding menu until after V1.0

Still have some more waiting to do.

Yes these are the most fun Lotus's yet.
Pocket rockets and so well behaved and fun to drive.

I must say, the improved performance i am now getting with a full grid, coupled with AI you can now actually race against (ok still a few issues in first turns) i feel really satisfied.
If you treat AI like people and dont try unrealistic, risky overtakes then they play quite nicely.

I am more than happy with this update.
