Not sure how much weight there is to it. But Auto Action are reporting that LDM will apparently be switching to PRA built Falcon's next year.

How about Stanaway and Jacobson getting those two seats. What ever deal Rullo has, hope it involves S2.

And this, I like

It would certainly make the series more attractive to other manufacturers.👍

A Japanese round.... ... *rubs all types of charms, rabbit's feet, crosses fingers, toes & eyes, puts first born on eBay, (I think my wife would still be okay to drive with one arm... yeah, she'll be right)*

Especially if it's Suzuka

LDM possibly switching to Ford.

Yeah, Spaceghost(couldn't resist this time) posted up top.

edit: @Pete05 Fuji, man. Fuji.(I wish)

In this pic, Simona's car looks as intended: vintage.

Yeah, I can think of worse locations but, IMO, Fuji has been totally butchered compared to the layout they used in 1980/90's.

Sure it's a lot safer than the old Fuji & would probably make for better racing than Suzuka but, unless the F1 circus has plans to return to Fuji, it'll be Suzuka.

This article talks about the FGX being a more competitive package. I'll be honest I don't think that the package is problem.

I know the plan is for 2019, but the 2018 Calendar with these rounds, would be amazing to see the Supercars compete

26-Aug Spa-Francorchamps Belgium
2-Sep Monza Italy
16-Sep Singapore Singapore
30-Sep Sochi Russia
7-Oct Suzuka Japan

This is great.

This is great.

What hurts is that this is a thing we all want in the game :/

Small livery change to Moffat's car, Wilson Security on the side instead of just Wilson which was used in the promo shots. Looked better when it was just Wilson, as it looked closer to the original.

Calsonic Nissan looks even better on track.

Looks like genuinely miserable weather. I'm jealous, we need rain bad.

I'm still at work. One hour to go.
Did they keep the white wheels on the Altima?

Reads this and bolts to turn on the TV.

How did I forget this was on

Nope 👎

Dang, At home home now. Watching S2 P2.

 

[Spacegoat]

Nope 👎

Just looking at an image on the Supercars twitter. It doesn't quite look right without the white wheels. Damnit.

This getting our hopes up with white wheels for promo shots & then showing up with the standard silver is starting to piss me off

Yeah it sucks, they obviously know it's a crucial detail or they wouldn't do it for the promo shots. Do it properly.

 

[05XR8]

The 02 kept the white wheels. 👍

 

[FPV MIC]

At least the white wheels stayed on the Pye/Luff car.

Edit: Tree'd by @05XR8

 

[Spacegoat]

Pleased about that. Silver wheels just wouldn't look right.

 

[Pete05]

I've been driving a truck all day so I haven't had the chance to see anything 500 related.

I caught a glimpse of some highlights on the TV just before & it looks like they've changed Lowndes' 888 retro livery

Please tell me I'm seeing things

 

[ScottPuss20]

Is it just me or are there more logos on the car now?

This is great.

Now I want Supercars in GT Sport.
And GT4 to be remade...

 

[05XR8]

This is great.

How the hell did I miss this post?!! @Jordan

 

[05XR8]

I wonder if VASC are in this deal
