Why no news about independent mods?

Race Sim Studio just released their Classic Enduro Pack for Assetto Corsa just yesterday night and it's really amazing content. I wonder how releases like this (e.g. by VRC or RSS) are not covered anywhere on RaceDepartment.com .
It would be of interest for many AC players (who may not even yet be aware of RSS's mods yet) and bring a lot more visibility for the creators.

Are you sure we haven't covered RSS mods anywhere here on RD or are you just assuming so? I am pretty sure we have been supporting them massively on this site.

Previously the creators always reached out to me / us but haven't done so in this case. I wasn't aware of the release either so that's probably the reason why.

I ran "article"-type searches for rss and race sim studio prior to posting. But you're right: if I include include quotation marks ("race sim studio"), I can find an interview with RSS people and a post about an RSS release from 2021.

I learned about the new RSS release via Discord and Twitter. I'll also ping the creators on Discord; may e they can reach out to you if they have a new release.

@Bram Hengeveld just fyi:
"Hi, while they have covered our vehicles in the past, I feel uncomfortable insisting for our cars to be there. I did once before, and it just didn't feel like me to be pushy with RD to feature the cars there. If they'd like to do it because they like the content, I'd always appreciate it more"
