Yup, they may come in handy. Now about a livery editor... Wink

whats the deal with the Bentley GT3, the other cars say unconfirmed or drivable.

no paint editor, but everything else sounds pretty good.

by **Matt** Thu 4 Sep 2014 - 11:45

Lack of paint editor shouldnt be a massive issue for any series we run. There will be ways around it.
The multiplayer aspects are interesting and is something we will be asking about on the podcast next Thursday. So if you guys have any questions for Andy, post away and we will get through as many as possible.

Will any more Australian tracks be added!!!!???
Bathurst is great but so is Adelaide, Symmonds Plains, Gold Coast,

Also, will Highland Park be added? It would be great to have an NZ track in game and that's easily the best one

by Ax4x Chaddy Thu 4 Sep 2014 - 14:23

Is Knockhill in the game?

by Michengigan Thu 4 Sep 2014 - 15:50

Not sure if this has been covered, but will replays be saveable?

by **LMR DarthMario** Thu 4 Sep 2014 - 22:59

US release is Nov 18th, 21st for Europe!!

by theboomeranga Fri 5 Sep 2014 - 1:10

Also, will a paint editor be added?

by Ax4x Kane Fri 5 Sep 2014 - 1:15

The Xbox One came out on my birthday and now CARS is coming out the day before? I guess I owe my parents an overdue thanks for that.

And I have that whole weekend off Cool

would certainly hope so.

by Zeta0085 Fri 5 Sep 2014 - 3:33

If I'm allowed to obtain the game before the holidays (because my wife would prefer I wait), I'll try to do something like a day 1 stream on twitch to give everyone an idea of how the game feels.

No promises though.

by RumbleBee 392 Fri 5 Sep 2014 - 4:01

i'm not fully sold until i see a livery editor, or at least a vast selection of ways to make the cars somewhat personalized.

its still on my list, but that's whats holding me back from dumping more into the game that may only be worth its initial face value.

by JVanEssen Fri 5 Sep 2014 - 5:19

I also really hope they sort out the livery thing. Spec cups will be quite awkward if we are all running the same car.

by **Matt** Fri 5 Sep 2014 - 6:28

Read above guys. No paint editor for console versions. I'd strongly imagine there will be many livery variants available though. Of that I'm almost certain. This is something we will be asking Andy on Thursday.

by JVanEssen Fri 5 Sep 2014 - 6:37

Even if its just the ability to change a few colors.

by **Matt** Fri 5 Sep 2014 - 7:03

ven Shift had livery options in terms of using different teams from FIA GT so I'd imagine a load of the user created liveries over the past two years will be in the final game plus licensed ones form various car makes as well. There'll no doubt be plenty to choose form but as I say we will ask the question on Thursday Smile

by **TechnologicMau5** Fri 5 Sep 2014 - 8:17

I need to know whether or not there will be Live Spectating of online races, Forza kinda dropped the ball on that one. I have no clue how we are going to stream when TEC moves to FM5 scratch

by Zeta0085 Fri 5 Sep 2014 - 9:07

Big "if" there concerning what Staff decides on.

Here's to hoping online spectator is in CARS. Because that's important.

Question to Andy:

How will the driver swaps be done in an Online session when doing an Endurance race (i.e. TEC)

read above what?

thats kinda a big deal that no one knew about. last i read from them was they were working on it. Not having some sort of editor kinda looses the community doesnt it?

sure a pre-made livery is nice but to what extent? if there enough to differentiate at least 16 cars(or more)? does that mean cars wont have that personal feel we have all taken to with Forza? i mean these are things that help carry a community of racers longer past the games initial value.

pCars is going to be a great game but will it be able to up root Forza? lacking some features that pretty much carry the Forza franchise and its community for how long..

this is just some of things that is keeping me from going all in, once again its like back when Forza 5 was about to be released... and we all see how that turned out.

by **Matt** Fri 5 Sep 2014 - 17:48

Thing is, yes Forza 5 lacked a couple of elements but it doesn't stop it being a very enjoyable sim and good for community racing.
Same can be said of CARS, there's a brilliant game there. To cast it aside because of a couple of small features is a little small minded.
We've been spoiled with Forza and I reckon we will again in the future. But, lets welcome CARS with open minds and enjoy it for the potential it clearly has. Roll on 21/11
