Sounds promising. The sounds definitely still need work.

This AC thread is interesting with a workaround if you find that some replay cams are too much at car roof height:

Don't you just love how quickly Kunos fix the bugs and release updates.

If it were EA we'd be waiting until next years slightly modified version with an updated title name.

Certainly is an impressive turn around.

With the updates the Thursday servers will be off line until to night.

Sorry mate, i've been trying to make $3 worth of pine look like $40 worth of maple. If you blur your eyes at 20 meters away I've nailed it.

this was just posted on the AC Facebook page

"The best is yet to come. You are supporting us so much, we'll continue to surprise you. A bright future is waiting for our great fans. Assetto Corsa welcomes the official Ford Motor Company License!"

Hopefully that means we will get the Ford GT GT3 car and with the GTR GT3 car to come as well there will be a nice assortment of GT3 cars to play with.

Would this also cover the Ford V8 Supercar or is that a separate license deal?

Only people that would know this are Kunos, all I know is of the licenses they have so far only lotus is a brand wide one where they can do any car. All others have been car specific and this would be more common. Having the license always makes it more likely to get any car in the range if they come to terms, in V8SC the only brand they dont have is Volvo. Woth deals already struck with Nissan, Chevrolet and now Ford.

Id be surprised if they got a deal for all other v8sc if Volvo would say no, surely they want more brand awareness and I cant think of any other Volvo id like in a sim. Could do with some old POS to race other POS.

Still in terms of V8SC they would also likely need a deal with them but still somehow there have been single f1 cars released officialy whike codies have had an exclusive deal. So maybe even without the official championship support they can release cars if licensed by the manufacturers.

Seeing I racing has the ford and holden and v8sc have appeared in a few other games over the years if they wanted to them ut likely wouldnt be impossible. Theyd need a holiday in OZ to get in a few tracks but surely a full v8sc and some tracks DLC would be quite popular. But would it be enough to make a profit fir them or grow the base game enough is the big question.

unless V8's are tied in another company like Sony or EA sports... are they still around?

There hasnt ever been any specific game for v8sc, were a couple in the past and codies race driver had a full series and track list one version. It doesnt seem anyone has locked them in as Porsche and EA have, funnily enough I think that hurts the Porsche brand more then anything. I think most brands want to be represented in sims as its great advertising especially in one like ac that tries hard to replicate the cars as well as possible.
