    Seriously.

    Doesn't need to be a real life track (so no licensing worries) but just a generic tri-oval - the Sector 3 Speedway; something to stretch the FR-US's legs (and other cars too).

    Who wouldn't want to recreate Days of Thunder with a field of NSU TTs?

    Totally agree. With Raceroom Sound and visual/physic it would be a blast.
    yes yes oval are boring we know. But there is certain car and driving with the right people it could be a lot of fun.

    Please @J-F Chardon bring that up next meeting with the team ;)
    ( I am pretty certain this was brought up before, worth the try )

    different licensing structure , one was dtm and the other was RR so you can keep throwing that one in the air but it will continue to float of into the clouds :)

    I thought about that but I wondered if S3 are in the same licensing situation as with Brands Hatch Indy and not the full GP layout.

    The other games manage to licence Brands Hatch GP. The DTM licence shouldn't be continually held up as an excuse.

    But I digress...

    If you want an oval, don't you need asymmetric setup too?

    Can't even express how uninterested I am in ovals.
    It's worse than watching me toe nails grow and I've been getting very bored of doing that lately.
    So as long as there's more interesting road circuits left to add I'm happy if they continue doing those.

    Wow, you have a lot of patience to do that! Do you watch it 24/7? Or every hour? ;)

    Seriously, I think that you will always have people that like X, which is a thing you strongly dislike. For me, ovals doesn't really make a difference. If they are there, I would test it, but I don't really know if I would race 1 hour there.

    It's a bit like hillclimbs, you like it or not :)

    Well usually when racing against J-F, very much time to do other things while doing that. :D

    It's not like I hate them or anything, just not bothered at all.
    I can totally accept the fact others like it, it's just a matter of taste. So keep rooting for them, but I won't chime in.

    Am I supposed to understand what you're talking about? :)

    My opinion is: the more turns there is on a track, the more I'll tend to like it. So... only one turn... :D

    Maybe less turns will slow you down a bit....I couldn't get anywhere near you earlier tonight.

    Did we play together? Sorry I didn't know your in-game name until I tried 650S GT3 @ Nordschleife one hour ago. ;)

    DTM at the Nurburgring - you qualified with a 1:50:00x and a couple of guys went into the 1:49s :eek:

    I only ever scraped a 1:50:3 in Leaderboard mode. Chicanes kill me.
