R3E news and rumors

So we have a general discount thread (though it's often missed), but as far as I know, there isn't a general news thread to post various small-ish pieces of information that have come up, so I thought it might be a good idea to start one?

So information about the upcoming December patch are starting to appear, and we now have a confirmation that three Porsche cars will indeed be coming with it, with first one being...

Porsche 911 GT3 Cup 2017

The latest incarnation of the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup is based on the seventh generation of this sports car icon, and it lives up to its calling: uncompromising performance on the race track.
The four-liter six-cylinder boxer unit delivers up to 485 hp.
The drive force is transmitted to the rear axle by six-speed sequential dog-type transmission.
The fate of the 911 GT3 Cup is played out in the Porsche one-make championships, where the only thing that counts is the performance of the individual driver.
While carrying "GT3" in its name, the car has quite different driving characteristics compared to its bigger brother, the GT3 R.
The lack of ABS & Traction control makes it quite a challenge to drive and will put your skills on track to a test.
A special feature of this car are the purple LED lights on the data display, that will warn you about traction loss & locking brakes.

The other two cars should be announced in the coming days according to S3, but it's fairly obvious one of them will be the GT3 R, aka the "proper" GT3 ;)

Thank you Alex. Exactly as you personally promissed me after my quarrelling (positive as allways :roflmao:).

Oh man. Some LB guys are gonna swear heavily now. Poor bastards :laugh:
 
In discussions the topic of S3S releasing version 1.0 came up, is this not too far off?

What do you think that means? Big changes, or is is just a cumulative hey we we hit a benchmark?

Update notice for August 11th, is this a tease for Sector3 providing some type of roadmap, or is it just a courtesy for leagues and others for scheduling?
Anyhow, DTM 2020 seems like a logical guess to be included, as well as the obligatory updates to AI, physics, BOP and sounds. Any ideas or hunches t what may be included with such an announcement?

Just a warning for folks so they dont get caught by surprise. I doubt its DTM2020 or DRM, if i had to guess then maybe introduction to group 2+features/fixes/updates
