    Can't wait for the 'expert' analysis from content creators.

    People start and leave jobs all the time for all sorts of reasons - many personal. I don't know if we really need a deep dive here.

    Supposing is not a late April fool, I wish to thank you for all Studio 397 achieved on RF2. Wish you good luck on your future projects, and thank you again. RF2 seems to be finally going full steam in the right direction with those latest releases, I think we all hope this is just the start of a new exciting phase for everyone.

    You are right .
    Even the founder of Kunos Stefano Casillo has left the company few months ago…. So it’s normal.
    Good luck for him

    Not great news to me, but I hope it is going to be great new chapter for Marcel.

    Certainly not the best timing with propaganda campaign in background. Marcel was key person to me, someone I have lots of trust. Lets hope everything is going to be good for everybody. Time will show. But future of rF2 to me suddenly became less clear.

    I think it is important to have a proper leader. Who became such person after Stefano left Kunos ? Who will be such person in rF2 now after Marcel ?

    All the best @Marcel Offermans, i hope you're leaving to give us some more simulations in the future ;)

    Cheers!

    I think that's very disappointing news @Marcel Offermans - well that's an understatement at best.
    I hope you will still be able to be involved in the forums...
    And that your future plans work out well for you.

    With tons of Good news about upcoming lots and great content plus promising rich of improvements upcoming new build, we get these news. I guess this is called balance.

    Additionally I guess this means that there might not be official groupC cars, as Marcel once shared that he would love those cars. But neither any of pre-WW2 cars made it to Assetto Corsa, and Stefano has been saying that he is very fascinated about those cars. Strange world, isn't it, you are in such position and still can't "just do" simple thing.
