    In that case the answer should always be, never play on patch day, better plan for tomorrow. A precise ETA can't be told at this point and life plans definitely have priority over a video game patch release! :)

    Yes, people buy a Weber grill for >1000 euros to grill unworthy cheap meat from the discount store.

    Great job, sim and content Reiza! Thank you!

    Curious question . Do the team still work on the update the day of a release. That must be a stressfull few hour ? Love your work guys

    1) sure, give feedback. But I still stand by my assertion that the people complaining about it are orders of magnitude more vocal than their raw numbers suggest.
    2) "we had this content already in a previous DLC". My sense is that they would NOT have charged us had this work not been a) major and b) pricey to do and c) the 6-figure license renewal to even keep having Nurburgring in the game and get the latest scan. Like it or not costs get passed on to us. They absorb what they can, I'm sure, but again, this is a LOT of noise for a significant track update/license for not much more than a gourmet cup of coffee.

    I gave my opinion in a non-aggressive manner and even stated that the work on the 2025 Nurburgring would be magnificent. I did not mention the price at all. Not every negative opinion is a missile aimed at Reiza. I think everyone would benefit from distancing themselves from each other's opinions. It seems that every slightly doubtful comment is a personal attack. This is a forum, you can give your opinion honestly and non-aggressively without being threatened with being banned or insulted by people.

    In terms of performance, what would the Ligier JS2R be like?

    Almost as quick around a lap as GT4, and without ABS&TC. Slower acceleration and top speed, but fast through corners.

    The Ligier also has a new preset titled "Ligier european series". It's a very good car with its own unique identity. It is in particular great at Le Mans (which is part of the preset).

    To be clear Seb in case you are referring to my reply to you, I found your post perfectly civil, and I also thought mine was a perfectly civil (if a little ranty) reply to it ;) the only reason I´d quoted you for it is that you did repeat this misconception about "charging twice for the same track", and in the reply I explained why that is a misconception. It wasn´t meant to be agressive to you in particular tho so apologies if it came across that way - there is always a bit too much caffeine doing the rounds in release times which can lead to the more animated tone you see in these posts :p

    Little slower than GT4s, faster than GT5; it´s going to surprise some how fun a ride that actually is.

    I know i'll hear them 'soon'... but how are them suspension /chassis sounds? I'm constantly googling 'Time now in Brasil' trying to work out when I think it will come out!!

    Forgive me for a dumb question... is it worth waiting on buying the IMSA Bundle until EP3 is released (apparently I didn't buy the Lambo pack) or is it better to do them together? I figure there's no difference but asking in case I'm missing something.

    To 2 - my point is that why was it so important to rescan and redo We don't have any highly Nords specific content or license. Does it add so much value to the sim? We will see, but allow me to be skeptical until we see it.

    Prices or coffee, beer, hamburgers, whatever people are writing are variable depending where you live. :p

    I doubt all the work just goes into a standalone version. Renato etal are always learning, always perfecting, always surprising (see Alpine 110 and new Ligier). Sticking to process is usually very productive.
