    Don't we have enough things to worry about instead of just wasting time speculating? The internet is not always a good thing...

    Don't think any speculation is required to figure out that "hint" ;)

    Coming Up in February

    Excepting the usual likely hotfix for the v1.1.1.0 update sometime over the next week, our next major update should arrive as usual towards the end of February. Here are some of the highlights planned for it:

    View attachment 12500
    Our track team is still working on Belgian territory, now taking a trip back in time to retro-reform our Spa-Francorchamps to its 1993 version.

    The track was originally supposed to be based on its 1991 configuration, but we´ve opted to switch to the 1993 version thanks to higher quality reference material. Also, although the track configuration remained the same throughout the 80s and Early 90s, the 1993 revision featured some small adjustments to the curb profiles at the Bus Stop double chicane which remained largely unaltered until 2002, and contributed to a better flow of the track in that last part of the lap.

    The much anticipated Group C Sauber Mercedes C9 and Porsche 962C duo will finally arrive in next month´s update, suitably in combo with its contemporary version of Spa-Francorchamps.

    Similar to the GT1 cars that arrived in December, the Group C class represented another golden era in sports cars in history, and these two models were front-runners at its peak in the late 1980s, when it approached F1 in terms of both popularity and performance.

    Having the series represented in Automobilista 2´s historical roster was therefore a no-brainer choice, and we are thrilled to see their arrival is finally just around the corner!

    Another much anticipated historical content arriving in the next update is the 1999 GM Omega Stock Car - the last "proper' Stock Car to race in the series before the dawn of the prototype era in the 2000s, the Stock Car Omega was still largely based on its production counterpart which replaced the Opala in the Brazilian market during the 90s. It also shared a lot of its DNA with its Australian cousin, the Holden Commodore.


    The introduction of the 1999 Stock Car series will complete our tribute to the prime Brazilian championship on the verge of the 10th Anniversary of our very first title, Game Stock Car released in 2011. Time does fly when you are having fun!

    The February Update should also feature some further Quality of Life improvements and fixes, the biggest priorities being to rectify some persisting reliability issues with FFB and Multiplayer.

    Of course its OK to speculate about updates.
    Participation is optional.

    Don’t understand why such news/pics are officially posted by Reiza on social media channels only but not here on official forums.
    @stealthradek: Thank you very much to keep us informed here!

    Renato mentioned in this thread Automobilista 2 Steam & Social Media pages now up!
    that social media are now official news channels.

    Reiza understandably wants to promote AMS2 and start conversations outside of forum. Otherwise people who are on the forum would keep posting here and reduce those important social media interactions.
    That way they can reach easier to people who wouldn't normally visit the forums.

    Why not post it on social media AND in official forums? ;)

    Because you'll end up with two separate conversations and less active social media threads with smaller reach to target new players.

    This is nonsense and you know it.
    It’s normal today that there are many info channels. And if you want to spread news you should use many of them.
    Otherwise they could close this forums and let people who don’t use social media stand in the rain.
    I mean reaching new customers all over the world is one target but still keeping loyal forum users informed who are already customers should be possible too.
    Can’t believe that posting those 4 new screenshots here would have prevented Reiza from getting new customers. And the nice guy who posted the info here instead of Reiza now hurt their business? Ridiculous!

    First of all, this is my theory backed up by my own experience and it's not necessarily the same reason why Reiza is doing it. They may have different ideas.

    Remember that actual update info and posts are ending up here, on the forum.

    I hope that suggesting to close up forums altogether is a bad joke, given it's not used for for self-promotion but also a key solution to have information in one place helping them doing the work by having people talking about specific topics, bugs etc. There's no way those conversations could be made inclusively on social media and also would be difficult to manage. Also bugs and everything else are not things you want to keep on social media :)

    Is it nonsense? I'm not agreeing with it as such, but I saw many people doing it and it works for building up the numbers by directing hype to social media. Again, I have no idea about Reiza's actual reasonings, this is just guesswork.

    Ultimately it could be that they forgot to post it here and we are arguing without evidence :whistle:

    Looking forward to the update. New content always welcome but I would just like some general improvements including some vr enhancements. Has there been steam updates today which may help indicate when update drops? I cannot check as not near my pc

    regards
