    :(

    I'll take it from this Silverstone will be getting a major overhaul at some point, because the corner required is already there. I can almost drive the track as it is.

    Jonny Palmer needs a stiff drink before negotiations start, good luck with that! Target the non Motor Sport Vision tracks like Thruxton & Knockhill, once Palmer sees them alongside a BTCC car in game his arm maybe more twistable!

    ye that is right, that Megane is an extreme race conversion, it is very very fast, faster than GT3 cars, people often dont realize it because its just a megane :) very lightweight and tons of downforce, making it very fast in corners, i believe GT3 cars have higher top speed, but not sure there

    yeah maybe too much for the Civic, I'll have a look when it's released though as a field of 29 Civics will be boring :p

    Major is relative really depending on what issue there is you have with it. But yes there will be updates.

    Knockhill is quite likely, through Gordon. Already been talking for a while, I'm maybe 70% sure it'll happen.

    Knockhill would be amazing (seriously), but just imagine a public / open server on that , it would be like Plato vs Neal every first corner ;)

    That could be great. Thruxton it's a good circuit too, there's a quite nice version for Rfactor 1 and i really like it.

    In fact i made (collect) myself a BTCC trackpack for Rfactor 1 not so long ago. There is good/great versions of every track, except modern Snetterton.

    What does not exist is a good mod of BTCC. Or even WTCC, except Race X wich was a great conversion of Race 07 stuff.

    But is rare to see interest in modern Touring Cars for sims and i think they bring the best races and championships. Been in online racing for 6-7 years. I raced with F1 Challenge, GTR2, Live for Speed, Iracing, RACE07 and GTR Evolution, and Rfactor (Historics, Formula Nippon, Touring Car Legends, Enduracers, DRM, PCC07, V8 unleashed...the best mods) and my best memories are from Race07 WTCC cars, STCC, RACE X and TCL.

    Shame about Brands..... If I could have Brands, Buckmore and Lydden Hill I'd never have to leave the house again. Or I would want to visit them more often if I had funds for trackdays and karting. I think that is what these bigwigs don't understand. They should be letting and encouraging software developers to do their circuit for nothing. It's free advertising. Same with car manufacturers, I test drove and then bought a Subaru Impreza because of a game, at the time they weren't that popular and I had to drive 100 mile round trip to get to a showroom. I cannot be the only one! I rarely watch TV, haven't bought a newspaper or magazine for years, I adblock the internet; virtual advertising within games is really the new barely explored frontier. All free advertising is good advertising.

    I guess one issue with Brands is they can appear in Gran Turismo and advertise to millions of players, and also get a nice licensing fee. rFactor2 can't offer the same potential audience or licensing fee.

    Haha Marc :D ..liking the sound of those 2 alternatives very much (pCars has done Brands, so maybe Palmer is thinking he can squeeze similar pots of gold out of ISI's pockets?)
