I did a full uninstall last nite anyway just backed up my setups and replays, just want to get off to a clean start. I have all tracks I dloaded somewhere and mods I will add as they get updated but the official content should be enough for me atm.

Had hoped for it to install overnite as I was late adding to the crap that was going down on the official thread waiting for the update. Only to find the computer was off in the morning possibly a crash for some reason. Then my connection was down at home and only just started dloading it again at 18% only getting 1.9MBMB/s.

Keen to see the new content and spa, will test the cobras and sound should be interesting. I heard all mod cars now have no sound so will need an update.

I turned my computer on before I went to work so it will download the update.  Will I get a chance to save my setups before it deletes them all?

Mine is still dloading but I am pretty sure that when it starts to install it will do the popup others have mentioned. Saying it will delete your AC documents folder or do you want to backup before continuing.

What's in my documents anyway? setups?
They shouldn't work anymore even if you do keep them.
Well,  they will be useless cause of all the changes won't they?

Just did a few laps with RC v1.

Only tried the Cobra, SLS GT3, and the Lotus 49, and only tried a few laps in each. Using only the default setups the cars seem to be handling much better, maybe too good. Will need to do more laps to push to the limit, then we'll see. Most cars should feel good at only half pace though.

The old NKPro guys will be glad to hear that the "flat spot" is back. Yay!!! We will have to look after those tires now.

In the 10 minutes I have just tried I think I was grinning like an idiot.

Great news, Rob :)
I haven't heard any mention of ballast, but that's down the priority order, I'm sure.

That's great news Rob! If you're smiling then things are all good.
Have you had any cpu warnings or performance issues?

I presume that ballast will only be implemented for multiplayer. That's you domain Wally, and I have faith that if it's in there you will find it.

Well I'll be driving around with half a crescent shaped tyre then since putting my "Poland" (no resistance) brake spring back in. :)

It sound great though, can't wait to see the tyres blister and grain, etc. as well.

No CPU warnings in the short time I played Dick, and my pc is a few years old now and has struggled a bit in the past. But I only tried single player, and I have learnt to avoid racing against AI as that will often put too big a load on the old girl.

I am a bit of a Luddite when it comes to computers so did not touch any Graphic settings and just left them on default. The graphics look OK to me but probably can be improved.

I believe that there has been some optimizing done, so fingers crossed.

Excellent. Thanks Rob.
If it's downloaded when I get home I'll be testing with Mary. I'll be asking my rig the question too. Finding how much she can take. Will be drama for a few days while they get it all settled.

If I can draw out the pc upgrade for another month or two then I can afford even fancier stuff... Not over the top stuff like Mary or bird though

There are tons of YouTube clips showing up for those at work or waiting for it to download.

Just watched the Cobra at Spa. Looks and sounds awesome on my phone anyway

Yep, it only deletes when it starts the up for first time.
