Hopefully we will get both configurations, with and without The Chase.

Yes, but you probably have some skill. There are plenty of people who are, let's say, less gifted at simulated driving, and will try to pass you at the most dangerous possible spot.![]()
I miss the production based days too but I would never call the current V8 Supercars boring. It's one of if not the most exciting touring car series in the world. The cars are quick with big horsepower and low aero and they sound unreal!
I don't get why people want a configuration with it out. Looks like a looooong boring straight without it. Like the chicaneless La Sarthe...just don't see it being as fun. Especially if the slipstream is the same in 6 as 5, you're just giving away first right before the last corner.
DaveTheStalkerSpeed, that's why, SPEED! They put the kink in there for safety, not to make it interesting.
Does the Nascar avatar have anything to do with your hated of turns? KiddingEven though it was added for the sake of safety I think it does make it more interesting. To me the fun is all about the corners. I don't think the track looks nearly as good with all those straight bits in a row.
Passing is actually perfectly possible at Mt. Panorama, in my opinion it's much easier than on the Nordschleife. There are more heavy braking spots in a straight line. Bathurst is also much easier to remember and has an easier to learn rhythm.
I've driven it in several games now and never had issues with overtaking.

I like original layouts, before safety became the mantra. I really hope we eventually get the original full layouts of Spa and Monza. PD can't go and photograph those areas. But I have to believe there are plenty of historical images and video, that PD is capable of recreating those tracks. SMS added the old version of Monza, unfortunately without the oval being an "actual" part of the course. Rfactor has the original Spa available.
Bathurst is going to be intense on top of that mountain at night!

I can´t wait to drive the gt40 at night with the fov ajusted to away back then normal gt cockpit view
The old section of Monza is still there to be photographed. It's old and poorly maintained, but it's still there. Every year the Formula 1 coverage has at least one segment where someone walks on/climbs the old banking.
To my knowledge, because a lot of the original Spa circuit was public road a lot of that is still there as well. It's still being used as public road.
Admittedly, there's going to be a lot of information missing from when these tracks were being used as race circuits, but the layout of the roads is still there certainly. I doubt that either of them would be substantially more difficult to recreate than any other race circuit.

^Have you watched the movie Grand Prix? Thoroughly explains the appeal of classic layouts, particularly Monza.
I'd link a youtube video but there's no footage of the particular sections.
Production car racing still have a following. Even Glen Seton still races in production car with an Evo X. It's that the category are V8's, in a touring car class. It would be more expensive to repair an R35 & E63 AMG production race car if you hit the wall at Forest Elbow, as opposed to an FG GT335. But, I get whT you're saying.This is where the category stands and itd up to the fans to vote with their/our ticket money if we want it to change.
TCM is strong and those cars have 650-700hp with modern brakes and fuel injection. The other classes in TCM also make it strong with the 911's and six-cylinder cars. Watching them rip up and down the mountain makes you respect even more what bravery the drivers had back then.
Have I missed some sort of confirmation/announcement?
I like how they refer to the SLS AMG GT3 and the Alfa TZ3 as the SLS Black Series and the Aston V12 Zagato respectivelyNews article below from an online Australian car magazine:

Nothing new to note though, just nice to see that even the motoring media is excited with this release.
I hope PD make Bathurst a 2 file standing start in all Modes. Double file rolling start or a single file rolling start wouldnt make sense. I dislike it at Suzuka, Laguna Seca, Daytona Road Course and Tsukuba the most. Im also thinking, judging by the video, it'll be 24hours as it looks pretty dark if it were only a 12hour time change course. Im also surprised only 238, 000 hits on the video. 10million copies of GT sold? I guess the other 9.7million people dont have internet.
