There will be the 962 and 919 so 2 prototypes, honestyl modern prototypes dont interest me too much and the old ones will likely create not great racing as fast old race cars will have big performance differences in the field.

Carrera cup should be great and I look forward to the street cars and 918 vs p1 and lafaerrari adding the new lambo should make the hypercar class in ac pretty nice.

Really I think for close racing a single class or more street cars that will match up will be best. There should be soe Porsche cars that fit in with the supercar class too which has quite a field already.

In terms of a series there really arent many close series raced other then gt3 with multiple manufacturers.

I think the main reason many arent so excited about Porcshe is in proper sims they have only ever been the crappiest rips, getting them done properly will make them stand out like the real awesome cars they are. I had a drive in an old 911 turbo last week and even though it scared the crap out of me just driving on the public road, handles like the ruf yellowbird. Thise old widowmakers are a fun drivers challenge and the modern versions are still regarded by many as the greatest drivers cars.

Did you guys have Valium for breakfast.  Porsche cars put together with assistance from Porsche . . . how does that not rate!

I agree with Freezer - every time I've raced a Porsche (sim or arcade) it's been a RUF variant...

This is a massive coup for AC

For me it isn't how good they will be. Maybe getting a little vindictive in my older years but Porsche have treated race sims, modders and simracers like crap for years. I'd rather go for a drive in the Enduracers Flat 6 mod if I feel like taking a Porsche out.

I just think that sticking that much weight over the rear wheels is a bad design, engineering-wise.
Even Porsche says it can't get enough front weight distribution in the Le mans 911 because of it.
Mid-engine has been discovered boys. ::)

My understanding of it was that they entered into a licensing agreement with EA for a long period of time before Sim Racing became a real thing, so in that way their hands were kinda tied. That's how I had it explained to me a while ago so it could very well be wrong.

But...  Need For Speed Porsche was a sim, wasn't it?
