FM6 General Discussion

That's the one thing I'd love to see added now! Even if it was just one of them I wouldn't mind too much! Surely with Daytona, Indy, Sonoma and Watkins Glen all there you'd think they'd have a NASCAR. They'd be stupid not to.

FM6 is looking like its shaping up quite well

and with the annoncement of the Zakspeed capri i want to make the effort for a XBONE i just hope they announce the Lancias and ferraris mabye even the beetle as THAT is somthing id kill to race in.

as long as it doesnt turn into a Need for speed where it looks amazing but you race it and everything is shittier than a horses pen then i will make the effort to buy a xbone or go and get the Limited edition one of my controller maker and then come onto this game

only thing i am not looking forward to is just like in FM5 the gaming system and programme isnt open to any sort of funny mods therfore no funny crap happening such as lowrider mods or carnado

A Mercedes BTCC?

we got 1987 Buick Regal GNX , 1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA and a 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Super Sport maybe we can do something with these old school Nascar

So far with BTCC/WTCC cars we got

Audi BTCC S3 Saloon (RWD)
Honda WTCC Civic (FWD)
Toyota BTCC Avensis (FWD)
Mercedes-Benz BTCC Mercedes Benz A-Class (FWD)

but I still cannot find any news on new LMP1/LMP2/Daytona Prototype but it would be nice to have the.

.Mazda Skyactiv prototype
.Oreca 03R
.Ligier JSP2
.Morgan JUDD
.Daytona Prototype corvette/Ford

The problem is convincing the various companies that they should allow a third party to go in and completely dismantle and analyze their race car. That data is precious, makes sense to not have many prototypes unless they're older.

I only can imagine that companyracecars won't give the info like Porsche 919, Toyota TS040 etc.. But for the Ligier JS P2 or Oreca and all those brands who are selling cars to private teams, are giving the info to the teams who bought the car. So, many people will allready know how they work etc. Why aren't these in, it's a shame.

however if a certain amount of money is given it is kept between company and company and the results will be distorted to allow secrets to be kept for the 919 issue

So with the addition of COTA, we now have over half of the FIAWEC calendar (Silverstone, Spa, Le Mans, N'ring, and COTA). The missing ones are the last three races (Fuji, Shanghai, and Bahrain).

For TUSCC (WUSCC for next year), we have 9 of 12. Missing are Detroit/Belle Isle, Mosport, and VIR. We also get all 4 of the North American Endurance Cup.

We're getting spoiled with FM6.

Turn 10 take very little data from the teams. Look at the fact they have a 2015 Lotus E23, there's no way that Lotus would give them any kind of valuable data. When Turn 10 is making hundreds and hundreds of cars, as well when they use Calspan for all of their tyre data, it's not worth their while struggling to get lots of data from the teams.

No word yet.

With the connection of DTM & Super GT from 2017, i would be very surprised to see anything DTM related, especially with the vintage and current race cars well represented in the German Manufacturers.

Don't forget that even in the last edition to have a DTM car in it, the actual 'DTM' name wasn't used.
I'm unsure who holds the licencing for that, I suspect it's the Raceroom devs. The manufacturer may still licence the car separately however, I reckon that's how we got the BMW last time.

Oh now this is awesome. All 5 V8s. I call the Volvo!!!!!

Gimme' the Nissan! Oh yeah 😎

aw yeah that sounds great! Finally a complete serie!

Maybe the Lotus is in, because Microsoft is one of the main sponsors of the Lotus Racing Team. And I also heard that the Lotus F1 Team is currently having some "money problems". So they possibly found a way that's good for both sides

Couple of tweets doing the rounds confirming in picture form the C7.R

Its looking up for us finally

HOWEVER
with the announcment of an auction house system by an admin and leaked info regarding a NEWER paint system im looking suspiscios
is this gonna be a NFS conundrum where its all fur coat looking nice and swaggy but turns out to have no bollocks?

Maldonado.

His existence in F1 is because whatever team he's driving for any given season has "money problems".
