Gow said it was expensive to do a BTCC game and that's why there isn't one, I'd guess though that if you're adding it into an existing racing game it won't be that expensive. Project Cars already has a few BTCC tracks and they would need to model the cars (something they do anyway with new content and they have a good amount of the manufacturers licences already). Surely the licence to use the BTCC name and branding wouldn't cost that much, I mean they already use the WEC name and branding. It doesn't have to be a full season replicated, just a tier in the career mode with 5 or 6 races, authentic cars and the official BTCC licence.

Yes. And that's why a suggestion for it would be instead of making it a standalone game, it would be integrated into this. Even though they don't have all of the circuits currently, I don't think they'd be too difficult in negotiating. Especially when SMS have the BTCC on their side.

i think i read somewhere in this thread that they don't want to do red flags just for the purpose of they want as much green flag racing as possible

@The_American @IanBell
With all those great features you are adding (weather, livetrack, seasonal changes, lighting) I was wondering if on PS4 it will run at 60fps or 30fps?

Ok, yes. That was answered in regards to sand traps. Makes sense though.
Have some questions:
- Are we going to have a AI driver mode within team (e.g. B-spec from Gran Turismo 4/5) and driver changes?
- What about support for multiple cars per pit box (e.g. Nurburgring; making effective use of the 'pit box currently occupied' message)?
- Can we have a clock on the HUD that tells what time it is on the track as we race (essential especially for timed duration races)?

PRC had an interesting article up today about realism: https://pretendracecars.net/2017/06...1-looking-for-simulation-in-the-wrong-places/
So my question for the SMS staff is simply; what are your thoughts on this? While I don't agree, I understand the thought process behind the omission of red flags and gravel traps. But what reasons are there (if any) that we won't see things like the examples in the article?

Who really wants everything to be like real life? Most of us just want them to put resources into getting the important & entertaining things right. I didn't read it all but they are complaining about the lack of collisions in pits in one part but i would guess things like that are about having to simplify some things or they could be spending too much time trying to get the ai to work in the pits when most don't really care too much.

The pit lane bit had no relevance to me, but when it comes to single player I have always wanted a career mode with some of those features.
For example, as it is in any sort of racing game my driving style is super aggressive, I'd love the added immersion from the thought that I need to be careful on the tyres all weekend, especially in categories where you have just a single set for the weekend. Then the added intensity of trying to nail the perfect lap in qualifying while knowing if I bin it I'll be racing in a car that isn't quite right if it even makes the grid.
I could go on and on. While I won't claim to be in the majority with my views because I honestly don't know, I would like to see how much, if at all these little things are considered

After seeing those videos, these have answered my hopes for the racing game i was always looking for. One question, saw that you improved the crew chief in the game with more responses, i have also seen that in the rallycross video that the spotter has been integrated. Will the spotter be as active during circuit racing as well. @IanBell @The_American

Not sure I'm allowed to answer this but you can turn on full spotter for any race discipline.
And for special race types like Oval and RallyCross has different type of spotter. (as The_American mentioned before)

I'm really hyped for this game after seeing the latest videos and screenshots, but i have to be sure about one thing before i pre order: will pCars2 have the same grid sizes (up to 45 cars) as the first one on console, and will it run smooth and without problems on console with that amount of cars in the track?
This is very important for multiclass racing.

Tbh I'm expecting a similar level of performance as the first game with that many cars on track, namely some mild tearing and frame drops.
I rarely race with that many cars so not a big deal for me, but I would be pleasantly surprised if the standard PS4 or Xbox don't have some small performance hits under certain situations. As for the Pro and One X I'm sure it'll play better on those. It kinda has to.

Having a look through the videos, I've spotted out of 32 cars, the GT3 class had 22. A while ago, @The_American said it was an equally split class total in races. Has this now changed?

Hopefully they have found a way to let us choose the amounts in each class type

I'm definitely hoping for this.
As pointed out above, that GT3 ratio is accurate at the Bathurst 12H. So, I'm okay with that.

I didn't think it was fully integrated into the original title. I know the AI would use some of the DLC cars, but I do not recall ever having the opportunity to drive any of the DLC cars ourselves (Team Contracts) as part of the of the Career Ladder. Correct me if I am wrong on this.

@IanBell Will the P1 have back fire in Project cars 2? "This is what i mean" Its really disappointing driving the P1 in PCs 1 and not seeing it back fire at all, And believe me i drive the P1 alot in PCs1 over 8K miles and counting
I'm still hoping for more visual variety in the backfire and overrun effects. Some Gran Turismo-style short sharp explosive 'pops' would look really great thrown into the mix. All I've seen so far is the slow-burn 'flamethrower' type that were ubiquitous in pCARS 1, like the cars are having a fart-lighting competition.
