    I'm happy to occasionally pay for some new DLC to keep Reiza in business. Thanks for continuing to support your initial release!

    yep, its a sort of LMP4/GT5 series. I also think that since we get so much Ligier, we see the new LMP3 eventually as well.

    Wow, reddit is going crazy over the $8 new Nords price. Like they're not going to go spend $8.99 for a Big Mac meal tonight, inhale that **** in 7 minutes and be totally happy about it.

    $8 is very reasonable for a track that size. And if you disagree, wait six months and get it for $4 on sale. Nobody is taking away your old Nords track.

    I'm fine with the new updated layout being separate, actually kinda surpised you did all this work for it to be a standalone version. People need to remember for multiplayer, just the host needs to own it, if you already own 2020 for single player, do you really have a reason to own both?

    That said... I really wanted to see 2001 or older layout of the Nurburgring GP layout (before the Arena section was added) in the Nurburgring Historic Pack. Hopefully that can still come one day.

    Hope everyone enjoys the new content, but really looking forward to seeing what's still to come. Fingers crossed for some historic (90's) and modern touring cars!

    Unfortunately due to some legacy reasons the all in pack for USA DLCs is not a bundle but a DLC in it's own right. Not something I think we can easily escape at this point I'm afraid

    Well I definitely have mixed feelings about buying again a track. I would definitely have preferred a new track and keeping the old version. But the prices of Ams2 in comparison with basically any other modern simulators + the fact that you don't really need to own the tracks to use it online, definitely makes me want to support the project and will be buying it... But I kind of feel now that I probably won't really use the 2020 version anymore and feels kind of weird. Then again, this happens in other simulators as well, constantly and usually for higher prices. In Iracing you need to buy indeed to tracks (15$ each) for the combined version, that is more than double than in Ams2 if someone were to buy both dlcs, and you get more layouts, including the historicals..

    Great update, can't wait to see the new Nurburgring looks so cool, so much life in it.
    The GT4 roster is already big and competitive, but with more entries it's going to be really interesting.
    Sometimes I just miss stuff like Portimão racetrack, or JGTC cars and japanese tracks, but I know it's impossible for the devs to license, create and maintain "everything" to please everybody.

    I'm not the worst but not the best with setups, will setups be reseted this time or will they survive?

    The 2020 version has also been overhauled and still excellent (drove it a few hours ago in the beta). And a free update for those who bought it.

    Honestly I wouldn't have known the 2020 version was deficient unless someone told me, so I'll probably stick to that. Nice to update it a little too.

    Can we expect a possible new safety car for Formula Ultimate Gen 2 with the new Astons?

    I'll be at work tomorrow when V1.6.6.0 is released, so here are the updated NAMeS for all the new content minus the Ligier LS2-R, which I will post sometime tomorrow.

    Please clean up store page on Steam as it is confusing AF for a long time now.
    It drives potential players away.
    For example - I have every DLC, but still I am able to buy more packs, which I have already.

    PS. I am hyped for new update :)

    Does this mean that the Valkyrie will be in a separate class to the LMDh cars we already have? Or will we have a single GTP class with all of them bundled together?

    And about the Nordschleife, does the new, 2025 Nords DLC include the 1971 layouts? In other words, will new users (not my case) who would like to have the historic track be forced to buy the 2020 layout instead of the newer and more accurate one? I feel like the fairest option would be for the 2025 DLC to include the historic layouts too, with a discount for those that already own the 2020 DLC, obviously with adjusted pricing (Yes, that would make the old DLC redundant, but who would want to buy the 2020 track when the 2025 one is available? Unless they already have the old one)

    DLC is already very messy when it comes to historic tracks, some you get with the modern version of a track others you have to buy the modern version and then the historic version. I am pretty much up to date with DLCs but it must be a real pain for anyone new.

    I hoped there to be something just a little bit more. Or rather maybe big more, like Nurburgring GP when it first became the variant of the current layout from 1984 so that there is at least one more track in the pack.
