And driver swaps (although I don't know if that is online or only SP).

So the "Unreal engine", does that drive the current AC?  I'm assuming not, hence the weather etc in this version.
Be good to see it all bundled together in say AC2!

Wikipedia says they started using the Unity engine but due to constraints wrote their own engine from scratch,

I expect that in the medium term we are going to see a few different racing series coming out on this ACC platform, each as separate titles. Or maybe a mega DLC pack per series.

I’ll be interested to see what happens with all the content currently on AC. Will we be willing to re-purchase the same content for ACC even if significantly enhanced? I would expect an upgrade deal to ACC with bundled AC content once the Blancpain series based ACC is stable.

I read that the physics is the only asset they could bring unchanged to the new engine, which makes sense as I guess the Unreal engine is primarily a graphics engine. Si it would be quite a bit of work to bring cars from AC to ACC.

Yes. A lot of work based on the preview shots and video. Huge amount of detail. Kunos can’t give it away for free. But it will still feel like you are purchasing the same cars all over again. That is why the Blancpain Series approach makes sense. But I am not sure how I’ll feel if they offer, say, a Porsche DLC for ACC.

That'll throw a spanner in to the other stats, huh?

So this is basically ac2 with a different name ?
I think this will be finish AC, its old now, early access was like 2013 wasn't it ? when I play new games that are not sims coming back to AC makes my eyes bleed, its like pacman graphics these days , it only has 800 in game now and most of them will buy this you would think and I think most will not have time/inclination to play 2 racing games.

I just hope the server is better implemented than it is now

My main worry is that GranTurismo is mentioned 2 to many times as a comparison and I wonder if this is going to be made more for console
