And that's where BOP comes in. It's an issue that the real series have to contend with so why should that not be the case here?

pro-am cars in le mans series can't be the latest and greatest, a.e.
But yes, this year everyone is moving forward in most series i suppose.
On the other hand, when pc2 started and licensing and all that was on the plate (and this stuff needs to be done very early) 2017 season cars weren't even announced in some cases.
ADAC GT master, a.e, still run both versions of the SLS side-by-side in 2016 which i believe should be the "guide line" for cars in pc2 .I can be wrong so don't quote me

Exactly, take the 2015 Bathurst 12 hour, the pole time was a mid 2.02 in the Audi lms ultra, then in 2016 the new mclaren 650s with van gisbergen behind the wheel he did a 2:01.2. So the new cars need to be quicker than the old ones.

Seeing as they have the TCR Opel, I can see some others on the way. (Not because insider info btw)
Assuming there's an article, I think an appropriate title for it would be: Stefano Comini wins everything.

The track also got quicker. I'm sure the tyre technology was better as well.
Sometumes, just because the car us new, doesn't mean it has to b faster. Weren't F1 cars slower than previous years? Aero, tyres, engine power, rpms.
I swear, Nissan is to be my manufacturer of choice, but if that RS3 LM is in the game... Mmm, mmm, mmm.

Even when cars refueled, the grooved tyres came into play.
No doubt the manufacturers are improving the cars throughout the year. I think it'll still be about driver skill as well.
In PC1(on XB1- D-pad), I couldn't get the most out of the Bentley(stock settings). The Corvette and Caddy were nice to drive. The Ruf topped out too early. The AMG GT had decent handling, but the 12C GT3 and Audi felt the most predictable of the GT3 cars. Maybe there are players, that were able to make the Bentley as quick as the 12C.
I don't tune in PCars. How will BoP be affected once players start adjusting settings?

Right now, it's a stalemate. Alone, the V8 DTM is worth the R32 & both '70s Zs.If it helps, there are no Nissan TCR cars.
How's this for BoP?

I love cars slower than GT3, just for the closeness of racing.

Oh, look. It's the proper version of the 720S video.
Magically become unavailable on Facebook so here's the YouTube embedded.

Interesting... Props to SMS for investing the time on limited funds to do this, and being upfront with it. Some game franchises are low in communication about what they do (*cough*Gran Turismo*cough*)

Just my opinion, but it'd be great to have the '95 GTR with the iconic Ueno Clinic livery in the game.

I just found out why Donut Media is doing these videos for Project CARS2. It's for the upcoming “Built by Drivers” live-action films that will get released throughout the Spring and Summer of 2017 and feature racing stars such as Patrick Long, Tommy Milner, and Vaughn Gittin Jr.

My wish as well.
The closest this can be done in PC1, is at Zolder. The second right-left chicane. The Group A car's steering grip, is nothing I have experienced in GT or Forza.
With the Sierra: Brake hard, turn right immediate left, turning right out of the chicane: feather throttle turning right, release steering a bit, nail throttle, straighten up for a moment, prepare to lift a bit over the blind, slightly left crest. Awesomeness.

Even letting the driver know what tyre compound an opposing player just put on. Helps to strategize an undercut or maybe wait out the weather, yellow condition, fuel use, etc.
We already do this in our GT3 Endurance league. I have 3 PC1 setup in my basement and we are 3 teams with 3 drivers on each team. Our races are from 4 hours to 12 hours. The driver has no HUD. Just the screen wheel/pedal, seat and a headset. Then the rest of the team looks at a tablet with all the info. Both the computer and the tablet runs Skype, so team and driver can communicate by using the headset. Just like in real life ;o). It works perfect.
