This update should keep me happy for a long time!

Just downloaded it and not had a chance to give it a go. Does look good though.

Some interesting progress here, plenty of new 'community additions' around.

[wombat666]

Unfortunately the correct colour for the Sauber is a Mercedes Benz 'Dark Blue', not black.
If I had an F40 it would be 'Pearl White'.

Would really like to get this but....do you have to have a wheel or can you use a joy stick, keyboard suck and I can't afford a wheel.

thanks......Bob

The M23 needs more work to be accurate, otherwise this looks promising !

I'm not sure about using an FS stick, without a wheel you would miss out on so many options and feedback that it would be pretty bland.
Have a look on eBay for a wheel, I've seen several decent models at reasonable prices.

Something for Wombat to install in AC!

One of my favorite LMP cars of the late 90s!



When will these bloody Muppets realise this a FORD GT Mk.II, not a 'GT40'!
I like the look of it just the same.
One of these days we might get a proper small block Ford GT40 ....... I hope.
Thanks for the HU eddie.

[eddie]

I was surprised to see it myself! I'm always a bit suspicious of the physics end of it too, don't think I have ever seen a Mk I done properly either. But, its a good looking car anyway.

Hey Wombat, your GT 40 is coming! New preview of the next dlc is here, though I have to admit, I couldn't watch a 1 hour video ,lol

[wombat666]

I hope they get it right eddie.
Aside from the number of GT40s built and raced around the World, they won Le Mans twice with the small block engine.
Thanks for the HU.
