They could've gotten the Lidar scan data that's available...

Haven't heard of that scan before. Is that the one that supposedly could be in ISI's developement sim version of rFactor?

But anyway, if that exists I wonder why no other sims, withh more money, haven't taken that scan and ran with it. Any sim that featured a scanned version of the Ring would be an instant smash mega hit.

Also, I was thinking about their little question mark teaser image some more and figured the green could be the green portion of the Italian flag with the carbon fiber pattern on the question mark simply a cut out revealing an F1 car behind the green. So Ferrari afterall, if that's the case, maybe even Ferrari F1 or something.
 
If its a car thats the big news the only brand I can think of that would be earth shaking is Porchse. While other licenses may be expensive they are still pretty much in all game releases. It will be kind of a let down if they announce a car thats already in many games.

Because it would be a mega hit for 30.000 people and the rest of the world wouldnt give a schnot about it.
 
Well yeah, I'm talking within the bounds of the sim community, which is relatively small of course. But hey, just think, if there's a little ice cream shop in a town of 30,000 that has over half of that population buy from it - smash mega hit B)
 
You know they could've very well scanned the Ring and we wouldn't have known. For the avreage person laser scanning would look like construction work or something like that, so with the recent re-paving before the 24 people wouldn't even had given it a second look...
 
Teaser trailer:


Yeah, just Ferrari, a 458 so far.

But uh, what track is that at 1:45?
 
I don't know man it is a huge deal for a game to be the first to scan the most mythical and legendary track in the pplanet! I woulddefinitely keep it quiet and make a huge deal about it on a press release.
Anyways, you're right TT! We will know in a few minutes!
 
haha, look at us being spoiled about it "only" being Ferrari in the title. They probably had to work their asses off for the deal. Good on them. Interior looks really sharp and the exterior's gorgeous from what I saw in the vid.

It'll be cool to feel the difference between the regular 458 that'll be in AC and the 458 Challenge that was in FVA. That Challenge was my favorite road sim car anywhere.

Lol! Yeah, I guess Ferrari was generally expected of them due to their work on FVA. I don't think the hard part was getting the license itself but the cash for paying the asking price. Ferrari is the ultimate merchandizing ho, they'll sell a license for anything and everything they can!
 
Isn't Nurburgring GP already confirmed?

It's been confirmed for a while now, the announced it on the N24 this year, they had a demo rig running the P4/5 Competizione on the GP track trough that weekend. The Nordschleife has also been pretty much confirmed, we even know it'll have 30 pit stalls!
 
That's what I was thinking as well.

I may be drawing a long bow here... but the sunset, along with it being Nurb. GP (or Silverstone?)could hint at 24 hour racing, so night mode and the full 24 Hour circuit configuration?

Yeah, had a feeling it was. Those stands were the give away. The stands around Nurb lean against grassy hills, not freestanding as in the short sunset clip at the end of the video.

I want to say the track is Silverstone maybe?
 
According to this guy, who may or may not be directly associated with Kunos, there's going to be more videos today, this from the AC iRacing thread:

But then, when Aristotelis (support developer) was asked about it in Racedepartment, he quickly shot down the idea:

That is a nice list! But I'd trade the Enzo for either a GT2 or GT2 Italia.
