totally missed this! I suspect we'll be racing on historic Spa in a few weeks

You better believe it! I expect many, many crashed and burning 60s & 70s open wheelers will give their lives in pursuit of a clean lap around Classic Spa.

Yay! Work continues on a '70 Nurburgring!

Chuckled that the partner's mesh of '70 Spa was off because, "no kidding!" Will be interesting to compare to the older Spa from ISI.

Unless I missed it, I didn't read any fix for the AI bug that struggles passing other ai...only something about ai passing a retiring ai?

I'm hoping this build would improve the AI, but reading a few comments in the Beta it sounds like the ai is still struggling with the same issues...weird lateral sliding movements, not passing other ai and driving on the grass.

Also not much on the MP side either, so looks like another test the new content build for a few days and back to my other sims.

2022 brought us improved physics and ffb... hopefully 2023 will bring us either better MP or AI

The AI have definitely improved in this build, they seem to be alot more racey and are using the slipstream and changing lanes to pass. I actually got overtaken by the AI in the Brazilian Stock cars going into The Chase at the end of the Conrod Staright at Bathurst. Similar stuff happening around Road America. Not had a huge amount of time to check combos but looking better.

You still get some clustering and some overly ambitious line choices but its a noticeable improvement in the Release Candidate.

I took the Porsche 911 RSR 74 for a spin on Spa '70. Brilliant!!!

It’s a great track, I think they’ve said they still have a bit of work to do on it as well. The section near the end where you go into that “banked” right hander is very cool

Had a go in the Lotus 72 around Classic Spa, will make for great racing in these cars I hope.
