"We don't want you to mechanically grind the same races over and over, so we decided not to add any new high paying events so that you... have to mechanically grind the same races over and over." Every month we wait for like an hours worth of content at best.

That's not the rallycross section. It starts at about the hairpin in sector 3 and travels around that end of the track.
Oops, I mistook the layout name, its the club layout what I posted... Jeez I thought that was it, the logical one, don't know why they haven't added it. Maybe lack of pitlane
Same for Suzuka that it splits in two and only one of them is available
 
So the RX circuit is something like this?

Could be fun with the karts!
 
Love the constant updates, and rally cross should be very interesting, and never gonna scoff at an additional Porsche flat 6!

Time to look a gift horse in the mouth now --- this makes me hopeful that PD will add autocross events, similar to some of the tests in GT Sport. A racing discipline not represented in sim racing very much (if at all?).
 
Lmao at the Dior De Tomaso actually being considered a separate car… 😂

I’m cool with the GT4 and GTO since I’ll probably be able to afford them but I don’t care about the new track layouts in the least. Hopefully we’ll actually see some new events because like many have already said, doing the same races over again repeatedly is just plain boring at this point.

It would be if the karts had dirt tires available.
While most are focused on the cars and layout, I'm definitely curious about whatever they decide to fix or not fix and read the patch notes on that after the update.
We'll know overnight (in the Western Hemisphere). I'll go so far as to say that it's even money that the patch notes will be the first confirmation from PD that we'd be able to sell cars.

Of course, as @Majorlazer said, the real question is what new bugs will be introduced in 1.20. Please let @Famine be right.

I wonder if the rally cross races will include a joker lap?
The difficulties of adding that logic to the game say probably not. Further, the only potential "joker" I can see at Catalunya is which u-turn one can take, and there really isn't a lot of room to make it a proper joker lap.
Good to see them realise that rallycross is the way to go for dirt racing.

As usual though, PD also baffle. Why would they go to the trouble of modifying Barcelona but not add the new turn 10? it's not that new.

Only if you consider being built after the 2020 season as "not that new".
 
So, it is in fact the actual MP4/4!!! Can't say I'm not exceited to take a drive with it. I also wonder if we can change liveries and race (probably one-make only?) with it.
So this does actually give me hope that we may see a future 2000s V10 F1 car in the game.

The Cayman, even thought I would've liked the new GT4 RS, is still a great car and of course the legendary Judge, in its right color to boot. As far as cars go, the models are all good, just a shame its only 3 per month.
I don't think the Mangusta Dior is an actual separate car... I mean, it's just too ridiculous to be so, even for PD. Plus it wasn't showcased like the other 3. It's likely just a car you get on your garage and not a car you can buy or (eventually when we can) sell.

The new tracks... or rather, layouts don't excite me in the least. Especially when I only have 2 real life Rally Cars in the game to drive. Another month of waiting for Grand Valley or Red Rock Valley or Apricot Hill or Midfield or another real life circuit.


Will wait until the actual update tomorrow for the other notes. It doesn't look promising though... I believe we won't have any new decent events and we'll still be not able to sell cars.

It could be worse - it could be EA, which charges 1st-party AAA prices for yearly updates of its sports franchises, and manages to make each iteration worse than the previous one.

Nothing deserves to be compared to EA... Maybe Activision only.

PD may have dropped the ball with GT7 but nothing comes close to what those 2 companies have done.

That's exactly what I consider. It's been there for well over a year.
I suspect that, for much of that time, the track scanners were stuck outside Spain. On the other hand, PD has a long history of using outdated track models (see Daytona and Seattle).

coming in the December 2023 update, along with the one new corner at Spa
 
One good patch would be the Controller deadzone on the throttle trigger of the Dualsens. Am i the only one who thinks 100% throttle is the much too soon. About 70% of the triggers way i would say. On both my controllers. Why cant this not be ajusted? Not only on a "pro" controller for double the money.
 
The real curiosity is what bugs they will introduce. So far they've managed to introduce bugs every content update.
Infinite ticket glitch, but only for 5k.

Weather Map works now, but stuck in closest position with no zoom out.

3 second penalties for going through a ghosted car that rushes back onto the track, into you.

Possibilities are endless!

Nice content I like Spain Rally Cross we just need some next gen NASCAR's and Rally X cars haha. Also the mp4/4 official is great but it probably means it won't be in the next game which is a shame if that does happen. But if that does happen, maybe PD can do what they did with the Lotus and we can have a PD version and make liveries then which I'd actually prefer.
