    There´s been no official word on when the drifting sandbox is coming out although it seems reviewers already have access. I wonder if that will make it with the DTM pack or bee held back till later.

    Well done Team, I have not played for few years due to children and I have come back..
    Tyre model is superb, I can use throttle, braking to fine tune the steering in a "long slow corner" such as Turn 1,2,3 in Nürburgring.
    When driving a M3 GTR2
    * Lift off the throttle and the car will oversteer little.
    * Brake more, the car turns more by using the weight,
    * Exiting the corner by using throttle to fine tune the exit angle of the car (Power sliding)

    It is the minor corrections during entry and exit the corner that impress me.
    I tried the same track in ACC, it is not as obvious, little more vague, but still feel great...That proves that without tyre manufacturers support, the tyre model is very difficult to do it correctly.

    As a experienced software developer, I see your technical debt is getting less. Whole development environment is getting more organised... This will open the door for possibilities for the future..For example, Graphic update is important because you have decrypted the old graphics code and open possibilities..

    Well done..

    Yeah, unfortunately it's all over the place, things are teased and posted across various media/social media. Better join Discord and check Announcements channel from time to time, although most posts there are about events and stuff. Another place you can check is this thread: https://forum.kw-studios.com/index.php?threads/the-sherlock-thread.12420/

    @Kmikiwi
    What we know so far:
    1) New multiplayer UI and updated multiplayer system are coming, including LFM support integrated into UI.
    2) Some LMDh cars are coming, BMW and Lambo are basically confirmed.
    3) Very likely DTM 2003 and 2005 cars are coming.
    4) Allemanenring seems likely too and some Super Touring cars.
    5) New backend is basically done, this opens a lot of opportunities for new menus with more features.
    6) Some development happens on the graphics part of the game, but very little is know for sure, only one mention of it by studio chief.

    Don't get that wrong. Ranked backend is done, not whole game backend.
