Spot on I reckon mate. Ferrari will be in Pcars 2 I reckon. Ian has stated they are talking to Ferrari, but I don't reckon anything of theirs will come to Pcars 1. However, due to their history (FRL & Shift) together there's no doubt Ferrari will feature in Pcars 2.
More on my last post: I was digging through the Hockenheim track history, and on my favourite historic circuit website,
www.racingcircuits.info, I discovered what I was beginning to suspect: The 1982 Hockenheim from FRL isn't the same as the real '82 layout, it's identical to the '94 - '98 layout, which I thought was odd.
As far as the differences go, they're pretty small, but significant enough to make me wonder why SMS called it '82 Hockenheim, when it would have made no difference to the game to just call it '94 Hockenheim, which is what it is.
The differences between '82 and '94 are:
Tightened part of the Clark Kurve chicane moved back a bit (I verified this through onboard F1 vids from years between 82 and 98). FRL's "1982" version is actually the '94 version.
The chicane at Ostkurve is very different. '82 was the first year they used a chicane here, and it was a very small and simple one, like the first chicane ever used on the main straight at Monza. In '94 they changed it from a gently moving to the right, and having a sharp flick left, to the version they used for the rest of the circuit's life, where it runs straight ahead and then has a large right - left chicane. In this version, you can see the road to the right that was used as the first part of the original chicane, and the road to the left in the middle of the chicane that was part of the original Ostkurve. Both of these are visible in FRL's "1982" version.
The Senna Kurve was also tightened in '94, having been left alone before that ever since it was introduced to the circuit. FRL's "1982" version has this change.
So it seems I was wrong in saying this version will be the '82 version and not the later '90s or 2000 version, as the FRL '82 version is exactly the same as the later versions, and not the real '82 version. Dunno how SMS missed that when making the track, but there you go. lol.
