WHA???? NOTHING in the last 12 months? As Woodee stated, Co-op, which is a GROUNDBREAKING feature never seen before in any sim, pointed directly at offline users. Many of the technical fixes were for offline or shared by both offline/online improvements. I suggest you go back and read the list of features, bug fixes, etc.
Now you COULD have said that some things YOU wanted haven't made it yet, I can understand that. But to suggest they have done nothing for offline users is a fallacy.

Well as this has just turned into a moan thread, I’ll just join in and say that I too wish there was a proper offline championship mode by now, and yes, a little disappointing there’s no mention of it in the upcoming features.
Same goes for the lack of telemetry after almost a year… Redadeg and others have created some amazing dashes/plugins to get things working, but of course as it’s not supported natively there are issues. I don’t blame him for getting deflated with the game/devs after putting so much work in.
I also think going all in on Qatar would’ve been a better idea than worrying about getting more GT3’s out, especially as they plan to release the next 3 GT3’s around the same time the first round of the 2025 championship… at Qatar. I of course have no idea of the setup at the studio so maybe they literally couldn’t get it ready for Feb however many people were working on it.
Regardless, back to the more positive, it’s good to read the comments near the end. Seems as though they’re a bit more sure of LMU’s future, at least for this year. Should have the last quarter financial report out soon which will hopefully shed a bit more light on the situation.

I'm not familiar with the alternate layouts of most of the tracks. Off the top of my head, I don't think some of the tracks have alternates.
Bugatti circuit would be a nice addition, I've only driven it on Forza 7 and thought it was OK. I raced the junior circuit on Monza quite a bit on GTR2 back in the early 2000's..its a bit of a nothing track but it'd be fun to see how quick you could do a lap in a Hypercar. More variety is always welcome.
As for GT3s, I don't know why they split them up tbh. Maybe they thought, a track only pack would be considered a bit 'light'. I certainly wouldn't think of it that way. But seeing as they decided to split...they all look good but 911 and Mustang in Feb would be my preference.
What I'd really like is:
a custom offline championship
A stats page (lap times, invalids, time driven, etc) etc like in ACC. Doug's LMU results companion is excellent but it should be in the game by default imo.
Watkins Glen

Bugatti is also available in Automobilista 2. It's a really fun track, a favorite of mine. It would be nice for LMGT3 cars, but for the Hypercars, maybe not so much.

RF2 would be your answer for a bit of something different. Tons of tracks, tons of cars Inc some of the best classic cars and track mods in SIM racing.
Yeah, might give it a try. Considering I really enjoy this game..it seems logical I'd enjoy RF2

Just so long as you understand that rF2 is a half or possibly even a full generation behind LMU. Driving is very similar(without all the hybrid gimicks) but it is a little less shiney. LMU will never share even a fraction of the content in rF2, but rF2 won't, at least in the near future, get the raft of updates LMU has enjoyed. It still has excellant Multiplayer in a system very similar to that in LMU and also allows custom skins, mods, 3rd party tracks etc etc. Might want to wait for one of the Steam Sales periods...they have had some great deals on the entire DLC catalog for first time buyers.

Yes I agree, would love to see the older class c and older endurance cars added to LMU.
I was just doing a bit of practice at Monza...seems a bit mad that I've never thought of this before but an easy track variation would be to bypass turn 1 (Rettifilo) and have curva grande become turn 1. Possibly, making it too bland but it'd be a nice addition and might make online races a bit less frenetic..where chicane 2 becomes the first bottleneck.
