    I absolutely can't wait to throw a fistful of [currency] your way tomorrow. This is an astounding pack of content. I was a bit surprised and underwhelmed when it was 2005 that was going to be the year for the Le Mans track, instead of a late 90s one with the old Esses, but now I understand the idea behind it I'm thrilled about it.

    This was the era where I first started to travel to races on my own and FIA GT events were top of that list. Having the Saleen, Maserati, Corvette, Lamborghini and Aston as well as the Porsche and Milano with their sights and sounds and very different approaches would be absolutely top of my list. PMR has an exciting looking roster of cars for this era too (especially the TVR) but it doesn't have the period tracks to go along with it (especially the 2001 Silverstone and Hockenheim).

    Also love some of the lesser known but beautiful prototypes getting their moment in the sun. The Dallara is a stunner for me, always loved that one.

    Hardest thing will be choosing what to drive first!

    One thing: I'm all about the content depth, so I would be thrilled if you ever have a PtX pack that expands these carsets even further (Lola P1, Courage P2, Panoz). Also excited to learn more about this upstart Milano brand - let us know if you discover any other of their machines from this era.

    Great news! One question though, this update will also bring the new HUD? or is this expected to release in a future update?

    While I love licensed content, I think the unlicensed content is where Reiza excels at.
    That Milano is looking real good!

    I think Renato's writing separate posts about what is included in the patch.

    We tried our best to have it ready in time but it´s just not quite there yet; hopefully for the next update.

    The OP will include all relevant notes and the overall changelog as they get put together.
