    I was sure 2 months isn't quite normal time between builds... oh well, as long as not too much over it. Don't get me wrong, current build is good also, but we want it better, right? :)

    Well that might be down to testing every little feature that was added in the new build. We heard that new transmission model is coming. Maybe that's what this build will have. We heard Stock cars are coming. Maybe they are trying to test bejesus out of the plugin system with rule set. Maybe some further improvement to CPM. Maybe that CPU bug that was there in 880? 930? build that caused so many problems to many of guys here, got fixed and is coming back (enabled again). Maybe some other features (heard some more setup tweaking options for example for karts are coming) and fixes (and maybe testing regime got a lot more strict, so we won't get sth that is flawed somewhere). So many questions. So many reasons.

    I can only guess. If I had to, I would say things I've written above are the most plausible. + We most likely would get it much sooner if not for failed testing, like for example confirmed testing session 2 weeks ago that put back release of the build. :)

    Maybe the new guy had to learn the ropes? If there even is a new guy!
    Don't matter squat, a new build will come when ISI say so.

    It depends entirely on how testing goes in internal group. If ISI releases build with even a couple of bugs they get bashed everywhere, so testing can take long. Especially as rF2 has no hotfix builds that would be released quickly.

    It was RC two weeks ago. Didn't make it out the door yet.

    Hopefully he is doing well and his replacement is up to speed.

    Jeremy has been working limited/part-time/on-demand like this for quite a while, maybe even close to a year by now. If you folks didn't notice until now then I'm not sure what folks are worried about. :)

    A new build with some significant improvements, perhaps addressing some of the long-standing issues still hanging around from a year or two ago, and no breakage of existing working features, will erase all concerns ;)

    Surely with testing going on into the weekend nobody can complain that ISI and the beta crew are not working hard! It's not uncommon that the process of Release Candidates takes a few weeks, so give it some time!

    I am in no hurry at all, just got little excited when i saw it. And you're totally right, it may take all the time they need. And very nice to be testing on weekends also, hope they all get their well deserved holiday sometime... :D

    Good for him, bad for us I guess because he wasn't replaced by anyone it seems, so there is less workforce in already small dev team. Means even more work for a certain "TG".
