Are we going to get the Long Beach GP?

[LinearHaze]

Ive always loved the Long Beach Grand Prix track, and since i got to drive it on Forza 5. It great for drifting and circuit racing and i've been wondering if AC is ever going to get it. I dont even care if we get it with the legit release of the game or now. I just hope were ble to get it somehow.

Through mods, most definately. Through official content, I seriously doubt it.

Nothing was announced nor discussed about Long Beach track from Kunos. So please don't expect this track from them, unless they say something.

However.. :) A modder is developing this track from scratch (no import or conversion from other games). See more details here: http://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/wip-2014-long-beach-street-circuit.7924/

Doubtful - this game hs a strong european emphasis.

iRacing have a laser-scanned prototype available for purchase. Basically the scenery isn't done (and they've admitted may never be done) but the track itself is there in all it's millimeter-accurate glory.

Basically if an American-oriented simulation like iRacing won't finish it, I doubt a European-biased simulation will even start.

As Spy said I imagine it will eventually be developed or ported from rF by modders but it won't be to the quality you see in official tracks. Tracks with a bunch of bumps never are, just look at Bathurst.

Awesome guys, thanks for all the info. Hopefully it will be modded someday :). But for now im content.

Huh lol when i downloaded Bathurst thats how i thought it was supposed to be lol. Ive never played iRacing though so i wouldnt know alot about other tracks except for the few Californian race tracks ive been too.

The Bathurst on AC is the worst excuse for a track I've ever seen. Every camber, every width, every length and every elevation is completely wrong. And I mean COMPLETELY. It's pathetic. I beleive it's a port from Shi(f)t 2.

The only remotely good Bathurst I've seen that is hand-built would be the ORSM version for rFactor 1. It was illegally converted to rF2 so good lucking finding it at the usual haunts. Even that version is missing all the bumps and is a little wide in places.

Have you played the version on iRacing?

Yes and it's glorious. Millimeter perfect as should be expected for a laser-scanned track and even the scenery has been scanned and crafted with exquisite detail. It's an absolute masterpiece.

It's not cheap but very enjoyable and once you're invested the price goes down. It's the first 3 months that are most likely to break the bank.

Whats your favorite series/car to race in?

[noobsbane]

Tossing and turning at the moment. GT3 gets the most participation outside of rookie series (which now that I'm out of I'm never going back to, screw that noise) but there are weeks (like this one at Spa) where the driving quality is so shocking I want to cancel my subscription altogether. The cars are also pretty boring but I can look past that when the racing IS good, and it has it's moments.

IndyCar is where I'd spend all my time if I could at the moment. The driving quality is solid, the car is massive fun on both road and oval. Unfortunately the participation isn't great, you won't get large grids apart from the SOF slots (scheduled main-game races, weekly) and significantly less slots go official (8+ drivers) per week than GT3. When the VF is released if it's what I hope it to be I think I'll go over to the V8 series. I'm a huge V8SC fan and participate in a rF2 V8 league but the iRacing Ford is just not enjoyable or satisfying IMO.

Interesting... Ive always been a big fan of GT3 cars/racing. Ive never tried oval racing though, but i heard its tons of fun and ive watched a lot of youtube videos on iRacing. Empty Box has a great channel and he does mostly iRacing videos. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTuyvr4hC8gBLHdqYFXVO4Q
But I guess i'll have to try it at some point... But iRacing does have some cars im very interested in; the Skip Barber, and the C&R Silver Crown car.
