    If you are thinking of Bathurst 0.85, it is very good but also converted from ACC.

    A really good and thoughtful read. As a developer, I really appreciate the paragraphs about the development process.
    I hope the "Release Candidate" process will provide more agility to integrate changes faster and generally take a bit more risks with code changes.

    Does this means the fixed upgrades will finally work online?

    Bathurst was a joke guys, it was my heart choice.
    But it's Road America the next track.

    The 4.048 mile, 14-turn Road America circuit is a driver favorite known for such epic turns as Canada Corner and The Kink. The length and undulation of the central Wisconsin natural terrain road course rewards handling and horsepower. IMSA adjusted the BOP (balance of performance) prior to the weekend with a 20 kg (44 lbs.) weight increase for the Cadillac DPi-V.R, but also giving the car a 0.6 mm larger air restrictor. The extra horsepower will be welcome by the five Cadillac DPi-V.R cars to get around the long undulating Road America circuit located an hour north of Milwaukee, but the weight may affect Michelin tire wear."

    Portimão would be awesome, but not mainstream.... Yet

    Best wishes to S397, they must be the ones that are anticipating those "big ticket" improvements and new implementations the most. I think it is correct that they keeps on improving robustness of the software before expanding it. I thought it will be it after release of new UI as default and competition system, but obviously it is not so simple. I wish so much that this year will be a complete breakthrough.

    I think we already have superb versions of Road America and Watkins Glen, both based on Lidar data, converted by @DA-DIGGA :) Also Mosport is available in very good quality. So I really hope, it's not any of these.

    It could also be Portimao, which already exists as a mod and has received superb treatment lately. I am also not a fan of already great mods being overtaken by official content. Of course official content is absolutely expected to be better, and definitely a priority, but the higher quality already existant modded content it replaces, the less "win win" there is.

    It could be any track. I hope its Brands Hatch, but thats such a random guess in a pool of perhaps 30 possible tracks :D

    Guys I think you've all read a little too much into the next track thing… please temper your expectations somewhat... it'll be a track that some of you are happy about, and some of you will be less interested in...

    Depends on the kind of simracer you are. If one races in competitions, there is a big chance they end up with official content only. Then non licenced mods are worthless anyway.

    God I hope the new track isn't "Iconic" and "in every other Sim already", lesser knowns are better IMO.

    If you weren't such a good author we may not be so optimistic. :) Nice work Paul, really appreciate the frequency of the updates as of late.

    Thank you @Heikki21 the tracks by @DA-DIGGA I have and continue to enjoy, I meant no disrespect to their hard work. I was hoping that S397 would take some of the quality work like these and make them official rF2 content and treat them to the full compliment of the team. I prefer DLC in most cases but have made a few exceptions with these tracks and the F1 cars released by ASR.

    The track is listed as 'Surprisingly fast and undulating'

    Everything Bathurst, Portimao, Phillip Island and Daytona aren't. XD

    As Paul said some one will happy someone will not interested,and it's sold as the same price of formula e track (7.99 euro),so may be a small track, knockhill donington or something British maybe the choice, due to the price-track size ratio...
