I recall hearing that they're still working on the track and they're trying their best to release it on time.

Correct, and that was said just a few weeks ago so it seemed pretty likely that it might be delayed a bit. For those who didn't remember they ran into some kind of licensing hiccup part way through the process which delayed the process. The track changed management partway through the process so I presume that was the cause of the hold-up.

More like Valentines gift.
It is but it means nothing. It's just not ready yet.
The Ferrari pack is a great pack. The R2R is also a great pack if you don't have it.
It was also said on Saturday by Aris that they are still working on it. Today Marco replied to someone about about Laguna by saying "just sit and wait". My guess is that it will be that promo before release, with the Alfa Giulia on it.

Great news. I will be driving the wheels off the Guilia.

Correct, but that only leaves them about two weeks to finish it up and run it through QA so that's going to be a pretty tight turn around. Hopefully they make it, I'm far more interested in the track than any of the cars.

I don't mind if it's delayed considering they're doing this for free and during Christmas break.

Agree, but i wonder if it has been through Q& A already and they now just adding little details. Aris made it sound like that anyway. Dont know if it would cause any issues to do it that way or not. Btw that reminds me,on Monza Historic on tje banked section i noticed a tree in half. That has put me off buying the free bonus pack 3.

I wish kunos did not produce AC2, rather just keep adding DLC to AC1. All AC needs is La sertha, Bathurst and a first gen NSX to be holy perfection.

As much as i agree those would be great additions, it still wouldn't hold up for me... If you could instill AC physics and FFB into PC2 i don't think id need anything else... Tracks are my biggest limitation for AC on PS4 (no mods) so it gets pretty stale after a while..

While I do like AC and would enjoy more content for it, there are some aspects of the game that could use a rework and I don't think they'd be easily possible with the current game. Night and rain are obvious additions that may require a rework of the game engine and physics engine. I remember hearing about Kunos mentioning that night wasn't possible in this title. I wish I had a reference for that.I wish kunos did not produce AC2, rather just keep adding DLC to AC1. All AC needs is La sertha, Bathurst and a first gen NSX to be holy perfection.
Speaking of problems I wonder when Kunos will finally add controller support for it's UI on PC? Seems odd for a game in 2017 t not have controller support for it's UI menus. It's not 2004 and Xinput exists.
But back on topic-Really excited to drive a good quality version of the Seca! All the mod ones I've tried have had holes in the ground and poor track side details.

This is what Lord Kunos said about rain and night racing:
The story about the 1 light source was pretty much like this:
- AC engine started its life as a "deferred" graphic engine, which is a style of rendering that makes it trivial and performant to add light sources
- Some months into the development I started to look into AA and with DX10 as minimum hardware as target MSAA+deferred=impossible
- One day I wrote a "Forward" (as in traditional rendering technique) engine with MSAA that looked much better and was also faster. So with Marco we had to decide between crippling the engine performance (and loose MSAA+soft transparency) to support an exception as night racing or optimize for the 99% usage and get better AA limiting ourself to a 6 to 6 cycle. We went for the 2nd option.
Rain is far from impossible, everything is possible given the right amount of time thus money. It never was part of the intended feature set for Assetto Corsa 1.0 and that's pretty much the reason why it's not in there. To add it now it would be a huge amount of work that is not justified for a game that has been on the market for so long. It's always a tricky compromise between what we want to do, what the users want to play and what we can do and afford.

Alfa at Laguna.

^ Lancia’s post got me to thinking which car I will take to Laguna first. One of the cars in the bonus pack? Or 787B? Or... ?
Who is taking which car to Laguna for first drive at the track?

F2004 and see if i can get close to 1:00 laptime. Lap Record is a 1:07.7 by Castroneves in a Indycar.

I'll probably take the Giulia.
A Hypercar, maybe the P1. See how close I can get to Randy’s time and if I can beat it. Doubt it though.

My pick isn't going to be anything special, compared to the machinery that's available in AC. For me the Nissan Nismo 370Z will be the first car I run at Laguna because it's the first car I drove in AC. Might as well be the first car I use at the new track. After a few laps of getting use to the course, I'm breaking out the Giulia.

Sesto Elemento, because I want to see how crazy it is.
Genè did a 1:05.786 with the F2003-GA. Not an proper record, of course, since it wasn't done during an officially-sanctioned race weekend, but gives you an idea of what the F2004 should be capable of.
Lap starts at 1:42
