I would imagine we will get Bugatti circuit later. I've seen a "community liaison" say that from their communication with T10 it was implied they are more focused on bringing back locations, with bringing back alternate layouts of existing locations lower priority right now. I was always kinda indifferent to the Bugatti circuit but it would be good for variety... At the same time though, when we get a "new track" for an update and it turns out it's just Bugatti circuit I can't help but feel like it will be kinda anticlimactic.A couple of things as I'm about to embark on a race around Le Mans in Free Play. First, I'm baffled as to why there's no Bugatti Circuit option since you can see it shaded in the track maps. Next is a visual oddity. Why does my car already have scrapes and dents when I haven't driven yet? Is that just leftover from a previous race?
I'd personally like to see them alternate for updates, where one update has a new/returning location, and the next has a returning layout for an existing location. It would keep filling out the content and get us back to FM7-ish levels of content faster, and make the months where we don't get a new track seem more substantial.
I personally miss the "Alt" layout of Watkins Glen that removed the bus stop as it was more "period" feeling for stuff like Group C, and the "Alt" layout of Homestead road course that used NASCAR 3 and 4, as that would lead to better drafting opportunities. Oh, and Suzuka West as it has all of the good parts of Suzuka.
As far as the damage, that just happens sometimes, and happened in FM7 as well. My favorite was in FM7 when you would load into pitlane and your rear wing would immediately break off and fall to the ground behind the car, but I haven't seen that happen in FM8 yet. The damage usually clears when you start the practice/race.
