Just started playing this, impressive and great looking sim. The only thing that annoyed me was that I had to tweak an ini file to disable position markers. For those interested: find proximity_indicator.ini and set HIDE=1. You can use ctrl + h and F9 to hide the rest of the HUD.
Devs announced that they will patch in Lamborghinis

The driving part of the game is great fun but sadly the career mode is rather weak and simplistic. It was probably just an afterthought. It is strange how uninteresting they always make the career mode even in main stream titles like Gran Turismo and Forza. The career mode in NFS Porsche Unleashed is still the best I've ever seen.
The AI has improved a lot from what it used to be (a time bomb) and it is a challenge.
The golden age of super cars is pretty nicely represented in the game what with F40, Yellowbird, and the upcoming Countach making an appearance though it is a shame that EA has Porsche locked down so tightly which makes 959 just a pipe dream. (Though truthfully the car from Porsche I'd want simulated the most is the 917K.) As far as PC sims go the game has easily the best roster of cars though I gather that the online community would like to have more cars in the same classes (for multiplayer variety.)
They also complain that the game has no night, no weather, and currently no flag system (though flags are coming later.) Personally I care little for any of those except the flags.
Looking at that list one might make the assumption that the game will have the Group B Audi S1 Quattro but note that it is actually the 2014 version if I remember correctly...

Good thing the Porsche exclusivity to EA expires this year

Have been playing this with a g27 wheel over the past few weeks and I must say:
Oh god it's heaven.
I never owned a proper wheel before, very glad I finally decided to buy one.
- Features the legendary Nurburgring-Nordschleife circuit in three all-new layouts: Nurburgring-Nordschleife, Tourist, Endurance.
- Features the Bridge To Gantry mode, that allows to simulate the real track day rules of Nurburgring.
- Features Alfa Romeo 4C, GTA and 155 Ti V6 ‘93
- Features BMW M235i Race car
- Features GM Corvette C7r GTE
- Features McLaren P1 and F1 GTR
- Features Mercedes-Benz 190E EVO II and C9
- Features Nissan GT-R NISMO 2014 GTR
Nordschleife is my absolute favorite track so this was a no-brainer. I don't really understand why someone would want to drive the tourist version instead of the proper closed-off version as it's probably just annoying to not be able to finish the main straight properly. At least in real life it was as I drove a few laps there some years ago. The version in Gran Turismo 5 was already very close to real-life but a proper laser-scanned version is of course welcome.
Out of the new cars the Sauber-Mercedes C9 is the one I'm waiting for.
Probably the pinnacle of 24 hours of Le Mans. It's funny how they successfully neutered almost all of the top racing series during the second half of the 80s. (Turbos gone from F1, Group C got smaller engines, Group B gone completely)
Whether you buy the DLC or not the free 1.1 patch should also be coming next week so for those waiting for flags instead of those frustrating 5 second penalties:

Assetto Corsa v1.3 and Dreampack 2 available!!!
8 October - Luca
Assetto Corsa version 1.3 introduces some great improvements to the core game engine and new features to the physics engine.
The game now supports native 64-bit code. The physics engine has been reworked and is now completely multithreaded. As a result, the driving precision is augmented, the accuracy has further improved and the physics solver has enough horsepower to completely resolve any difficult calculations at any speed, achieving butter-smooth Force Feedback and a complete elimination of signal noise and vibrations.
Assetto Corsa’s top-class physics engine has been constantly evolving and improving. The AC physics code already includes various industry-first features, such as advanced active aerodynamics, four-wheel drive simulation with active differentials, realistic driving assists systems, unique hybrid engines simulation and advanced tyre-wear features, such as blistering, graining and flat spots.
With version 1.3 we now present you a completely reworked tyre model that includes new features in connection with tyre-speed sensitivity, combined grip, slip angles and ratios, load sensitivity, rolling resistance and most importantly, separated heating for surface and core temperatures. As a result, driving in Assetto Corsa is now more realistic than ever. The driving experience is more natural while at the same time also more challenging at the limit. Real-life features such as driving carefully in the first two laps to heat the tyres or taking it easy to cool down overheated tyres after a spin, the handling of the car changing from turn to turn depending on your driving style or as a result of driver errors and choosing the correct tyre compound depending on the track and car combination and also your driving style will now become part of your daily driving experience in Assetto Corsa.
We did not stop at the tyres though. We have improved the ABS system and now depending on the car, Assetto Corsa supports different generations of ABS systems using 1 to 4 channels. We have enabled active differentials also for RWD cars, such as the brand new BMW M4, which is part of the Dream Pack 2 DLC. We also have improved the height sensitivity of front splitters and diffusers making their influence more complex from a setup engineering point of view and more demanding from the aspect of the driver, creating an overall more satisfactory experience for everyone.
Do not just drive by memory some binary data values that resemble cars on your screen. Drive cars that are “alive”, constantly changing their behaviour from turn to turn as a response to your personal driving style.

The Countach was actually much more fun to drive in the game than I thought it would be. It does not have a particularly good rep in real life as I understand it.
The GT40 on the other hand is a very very delicious car. Possibly my favourite in the game. The end of the 60s and start of the 70s in endurance racing prototypes often seems to be the sweet spot for me in racing games. Very wild and not that much downforce (delightful instability at high speeds) but still so very fast. In the 80s the prototypes at least start to become just too perfect to be all that much fun to drive. Now if only we had the 330 P3/P4 in the game to compete with the GT40...Also would have been nice if the GT40 had had the MK II engine as an upgrade.
