Release Friday and future plans

This Friday we will have a bunch of updates and fixing patches for tracks, cars and new championships for the Modern Day Racing Series.

The popular Car fix pack will have a update of none the less 21 fixes for cars that I tested lately. I've searched lists of cars with thousands of entries to get all out of the AC mods that are out there and found some beauties like the Alfa Romeo Spider 1986 by MacedoSTI or the Bugatti Chiron by Jerry Wei (searched long for a good Bugatti). The Alfa had to be updated for shaders and will also be part of the next update.

There will also be a update of Vol. 2 of the track fixing mega pack, this will be new:

• Chang International Circuit (Mitja Bonca) crowds
• Colline de la mer (carTOON) fixing
• Ebisu Higashi (perma369) working timing
• Highlands Motorsport Park (Neil Shaw) fix grass and gravel
• Kirkmoar (carTOON) fixing
• Tamiami Park (shi) faster AI
• Taupo (shi) faster AI for present layout

The Modern Day Racing Series will be expanded with one new championship from New Zealand, the 2023 Formula Regional Oceania with great kiwi tracks. Of course all tested and fixed if some fix was necessary. I have plans to expand the series with more championships like the Japanese Super Formula or TCR South America.

Future plans

My plans are not 100 % fixed, I've made a release plan once and it was soon in the bin because of so many new projects or update massacres and stuff :-) But one thing is fixed: I will announce the "Road to 100" project. The way to my number 100 of released tracks. We are now at 94 (AC + older games too).

Number 100 may or may not be the Schottenring, maybe or not as Christmas present, will see. Next released track will be the update of Potreo de los Funes. I'm very happy to have this one finally in my portfolio. I've made a conversion several years ago of another version and did not get permission. Unfortunately the author was in a bad mood because of a sickness back of these days.

So future releases will be mixed: new championships and tracks (mostly) every Friday and the usual fixing when fixes are ready.

Hope that keeps you thrilled! Now I finally have some time to test my new wheel :-)

Happy racing!
