Electric pack might come with Nio, I did found the manufacturer logo in the game files along with tons of leftovers from pCARS 2.

Maybe it could be a file from the F&F game. Nothing else to report from those files?

It could be from FnF but there are a lot of pCARS 2 logos like Citreon and Mini as well and I don't see other F&F game logos like Jeep. Nothing interesting in it but the files looks messier this time. I think most of the cut tracks trd files is still there, just the randomly check on 2 of them last night and found Le Mans kart and Lohec. I think they are just for menu infos.

Vehicle crd files is quite different to pCARS 2, the car class system changed a lot and the modders can't seem to get cars to change class easily like the last 2 games. I think body upgrades and interior upgrades was planned initially, the crd files has lines for "body upgrade" and "cockpit upgrade". It is different from the "race conversion" which calls to a different variant of the car.

So why all your posts ? Say you disagree instead of inventing things changing my words and extrapolating things that I've never said

It's a 'deluded fantasist' type of thing, try not to get triggered. just laugh it off next time if you become a victim and attacked by the fantasization nation.

There is a Nio Formula E car, at the very least.

I don't think the manufacturer logo is used in game, Formula E uses Spark Racing Technology as manufacturer. It could be just a random leftover logo for something else, the Peugeot logo found in pCARS 2 files is still in pCARS 3.

If the BMW 1-Series M is part of the Drift pack, I wouldn't know whether to be delighted or annoyed because while I do adore that car, it's still a recycled asset from a previous instalment of the series.

I have a strong feeling the Jaguar iPace and iPace Trophy (race conversion) will be two of the cars for the Electric pack since the latter is in crossroads and makes more sense in a PCARS game.

I was thinking the exact same thing with the Jaguar. Would make sense.

I know that there are not so much details here and my opinion will be huge streatch, but from those DLC packs names i feel there won’t be anything exciting...

I do wonder why they get rid of the 1 Series M, they even have a racing kit for that car ready. It is also odd that Evo X got removed as well. Will be nice if they could bring them as free DLC cars.

I have a strong feeling the Jaguar iPace and iPace Trophy (race conversion) will be two of the cars for the Electric pack since the latter is in crossroads and makes more sense in a PCARS game.

The way they explain on the Season Pass page if iPace and iPace Trophy to be added, won't it be counted as 1 car and a race conversion? I do agree that the iPace Trophy will fit in nicely in pCARS 3 compared to F&F.

I believe that is the case; the Jaguar iPace and its race converted counterpart will be counted as one car, but hopefully each pack will consist of 6 new models in total.

Most probably sth similar to the body and interior upgrades present in Shift 2, additional turbo meters etc were visible on the dashboard after adding the turbo and there were 3 different body kits for most of the cars apart from the race conversion kit...

You two will get along well...

Probably something interesting of note before people go and spend days wasting their lives grinding XP and credits. While the accumulation of credits can feel slow, its worth noting that it feels slow compared to the likes of Forza and Gran Turismo due to the scaled cost of cars.

Forza and GT have 20 million credit cars. The most expensive in PC3 is the Formula X at 649'700. And, unless you use credits, you won't need that until you've won 30 events driving an Aston.

So the amounts feel small and progression feels slow, but its scaled accordingly.

Another example, Forza Horizon 4 Bugatto Chiron costs 2.4m, PC3, 200k.

Don't get hung up with the grind.

What a great start, put on the disk and it started to download an update, left for a hour only to be back to it started the whole process over again... Another hour of waiting.

Just had is about as much fun as I could have on any racing game.

2017 Ginetta G55 GT3 at Mugello. 15 laps, 22 AI opponents, multi-class. 3 races.

Maybe it's because my career cars are so difficult to drive so far, but the Ginetta was so much fun to drive, it's like I don't ever want to drive anything else.

Fantastic Racing!

With all aids off except for TC on low, this was some of the most fun I've had in a racing game.

Outside of career mode I never really gave this car a second thought on PC2. And, even then I only used the Juniors.

Actually you don't need to buy a car for the Challenges. I did the Indy one with the borrowed car.

 

[slthree]

Does a borrowed car disable rewards?

Oh fair enough! I thought the bonus events you needed to buy the car and the invitationals were loan cars but maybe they're all loan cars. Didn't check fully.

 

[Pantheons]

Posting as the only way i know of stopping receiving emails, is to untick watch this thread and then reply.

I think the only reason why you would want those cars is to put your personal livery. The tune can be carried over to other loan cars so there is no reason to buy them. Ok, someone like me will eventually own all the cars anyway... for collection.

It does reduce the xp reward if you use loan cars.

 

[strela]

No, you can complete them with loan cars. No worries.

 

[PJTierney]

Chops XP in half I believe.

 

[MagpieRacer]

Yeah I see that in custom events. Is it the same for the invitational events in career mode? As in if you own the car for the invitational event can you then choose not to use the loan car for it?

As far as I know, my main issue with the invitationals is that two have failed to unlock for me, despite finishing the final championship for both road E and D.

You can use your own car, yes. Same goes for rivals if I'm not mistaken. No, I'm sure I used my Ford GT LM for the last monthly. Upgraded of course.
