Ferrari, Lambo, Nissan, Acura, Lexus. These already make a pack
Then the new Bentley

You guys are insatiable

You guys are insatiable

Also to be fair the Radical doesn't count much... and the 720S should come after all the brands are represented imo. Buying 2 McLarens from the same class in 2 packs that came one after the other is senseless. So while there are 10 you can pretty much say there are 8 instead

We have 2 GT3 packs and 4 GTE cars, for a total of 14, FOURTEEN cars. And they're probably going to license the GT4 cars, so even more GT cars, like there is the need for more GT.
I mean, there is a lot out there, other than GT. F1, TCR, DTM, historic just to tell 4

The GT I'd like to see? GT1 from late 90s

You are aware S397 released a lot of high quality historic F1 cars over the last year? As for the others there are excellent (some paid) high quality mods...only GT1 is missing but ya can't get it all...

I am happy with this release and my wallet is always open for S397 for new DLC content, it is also my way to support S397 to keep improving RF2.

 

[Michael Tobin]

Yes, but looking at the future I think the GT4 class will be introduced (in the interview Marcel said that one between GT4 and TCR was coming, tbh I see the GT4 more likely to come since it seems more popular). So in that case even more GTs

I would certainly agree with you there! I would much prefer the TCR over the GT4

 

[Will Mazeo]

Yeah, TCR would be great. GT4 would only work as grid fillers for offline racers so imo the modding guys should do these, community wouldn't use these GT4 online that much except for the single maker ones like Cayman and Gineta. But that's just my opinion

 

[Steve Worrell]

I guess this means that I wont be able to race the other GTE cars I bought online anymore unless I buy this new car?

Good point.

 

[CreamyCornCob]

I think I might be in the minority here but I would like even more GT3 cars. I love the variety in the field. I appreciate that's not a popular opinion.

Theres plenty of GT3's at your disposal, you just gotta row over to the other ship.

Since a lot of month, this is Christmas in Rfactor 2 for the 24h of LeMans fans . I'm really happy but I would like another content that GT cars...

 

[Steve Worrell]

Not sure I agree with this. Gt4s are a blast to drive on the right track.

 

[Steve Worrell]

You guys are insatiable

Honestly I would pay good money for that pack.

 

[mantasisg]

TCR is worst thing invented

GT3 is plain average

GTE is pretty kool because it is almost not underpowered

GT4 is kool because it is really close to road car

 

[Martin Vindis]

Big fan of the car, it'll be a insta buy for me.

Now to the not so good stuff.
In this case I was going to get the car either way. But lets say the car wasn't interesting to me at all, like the BMW, I don't care for that car at all. I'd still have to buy it if I wanted to join a GTE race online.

I'm already invested so it would be foolish now to get the car but there will be more cars after that-
This will slowly become a huge paywall for new players who're looking to join the fun.

I wish that you either could join a race as long as you had the car (and track) YOU are going to drive. Or if you get the pack, all future additions should be free. The pack would naturally have to be a bit more expensive, but I'd rather pay a bit more up front than having this feeling that I'm being tricked in to something didn't realize was going on before it's too late.

It's OK for now, just worried about the future.

Dont they show up as a yellow block?

I like this system a lot (it's how Raceroom does it, after all), but I'd assume it can't really be done without significant changes to how rF2 as a whole works, as it would require all of the content to be installed locally at all times and also the game checking whether or not you are eligible to access that content outside of your opponents/AI using it.

Wow, beautiful background, have source?

 

[patchedupdemon]

S397 are doing what they need to, in order to raise funds to further advance the product, going with the popular choices of series is a no brainer in this early stage of s397s tenure.
I do hope for more tracks, which I know will come, they just take longer to produce than a car.
Truthfully I think there are bigger fish to worry about, that need netting, than mwoar gt3.
Hopefully we will see faster improvements and fixes to the core, once this dang ui is released and updated enough.

 

[silhouette106]

I belive the correct responce is.... YAYAYAYAYA

 

[Cheesenium]

Still would want the new Bentley GT3 in RFactor 2.

Or better, bring on the GT4.

 

[Team DTO]

Will this car be free for those who already have the Endurance Pack?

 

[Ace King]

It would be very nice to be offered a discount for those already owning the Endurance Pack.
