Probably something to so with it making use of various rules that aren't yet available in single-race functionality. Are you able to tell me whether you can run the cars on non-GTM tracks?

If not, please can someone let us know how much time we should expect before it is merged with the main game? Unlike the DTM, I might well purchase it anyway but it would be good to know when we can use the full set together.

It's already in the game! :thumbsup:
 
I think the ADAC 2014 EXPERIENCE is quite reasonably priced. :barefoot:

The two new tracks would cost 998vRP if bought alone. The cars and liveries would come in at another 2,000+vRP or so if bought separately. On top of that, you get a Championship mode, pit stops, tyre rotation and driver changes like the real thing.

I already owned the ADAC2013 Pack and the old European Track Pack (now updated) and I can have the whole Experience for only 1154vRP. (about £10UKP)

A lot of work goes into this and the programmers have to eat somehow... :thumbsup:
 
well I don't see how a business stays around good or bad, unless they are making money. All companies try and trick you in some form....its nothing new.

I don't see getting two tracks and basically a Mclaren with another series for like 12$ a rip off. It is annoying it was so close to the release of 2013, but that appears to merely be bc they seemed so far behind. I was hoping it to be 8$ for me, but its 12$...not a big deal if I want it.

I agree though, at this rate there is no end in site :)
 
Paying for liveries its a nonsence at all, then prices without discount drawing from some fantasy triller. If U first time R3E user, U must pay for ADAC 2014 more than 20 dollars, it costs higher than pre release Assetto Corsa, taht has open mod community, FREE, U heard it FREE liveries, and many other advantages, like dx11 graphics and best physics ever.

Okay, just about Euro Pack Track. Just explain me the formation of price if I new user? Also explain me, if I want to buy 2 new tracks I need to pay 1000 vRP, but euro pack discount 395 vRP right? I dont need on more pack, but I have already all the track in it, then why I should buy Euro pack with discount, instead to just buy Slovakia ring separately, but not for 499 vRP, for 150 vRP for example? Like disount for user that already have rest of tracks?
