European Track Pass.

[Raskron]

After the US Track pass i think Le Mans Ultimate should bring some known european tracks which would make the game way better.
Like Nurburgring Nordschleife, Red Bull Ring, Hockenheimring, Zandvoort, Brands Hatch and Hungaroring. I think this would make the game way better with the addition of these tracks.

None have anything to do with WEC.

The US tracks clearly show that we are not locked in with just WEC!

(although the fanboys, fangirls and fangrandfathers in this forum try to make us believe that we are)

Let's call it a reasonable inference rather than a fanboy perspective. MSG and S397 would have wanted to release this US Track Pack as an IMSA Pack if possible. We can't know the internal business dealings, so I suppose things just didn't work out.

As it stands, the situation is closer to 'releasing tracks that share an ecosystem with LMH/LMDh'. While setting a precedent that content can be added via track-by-track licensing is positive, that doesn't mean the release of the tracks mentioned by the OP is definitely confirmed.

We will have to see what's possible.

i feel like you and davehenrie are posting for stats, "anything" is maybe too much? aint both using GT3 cars for racing?
if you really wanted to help shouldve answer something like "no, wec(FIA) and gt world/adac ravenol doesn't have regulatory convergence like IMSA do with FIA"
we'r alot reading and not participating but i felt forced here. Have a good one folks

Well, we HAVE answered no, it seems like a hundred times. Gave reasons, well thought out replies, quoted the various ruling bodies, short replies, long answers, but ya can't reach everyone. Lord no's we tries, yessum..
I'll be more than happy to eat lots of crow if it ever comes to pass. But until then....

I answered short that's true, but it wasn't incorrect. It's just that while this topic might be new for you, it isn't for the most of us, and it's becoming a meme to ask for the Nordschleife in all the simtitles that ever get released. What most people don't understand is that most people can't race on the NOS and just use it for the hotlapping.

This is a Le Mans simulator, simulating WEC and ELMS, and maybe IMSA in the near future. But not GT3, GT3 is for ACC as ACC is connected with SRO. It would be like asking for Le Mans in ACC, would be pointless. Yes SRO and ACO both use GT3's, but not even in the same spec, the LMGT3's have less aero and power than the SRO ones, and at the NOS they run even more unrestricted. Not completely unrestricted but closer to. It's important to note that, as it allows one team to cover more different events in different championships with the same car but with a different ruleset to keep it interesting.

The more generic "why doesn't this game have X or Y" is such a tiring question as a quick search on the internet - with or without AI - would have provided the answer already, and most people post this as a wishlist rather than wanting an answer.

Wonder if the new Indycar game will get Nords...

Understood that proposed tracks might not have anything to do with WEC and that's LMU's thing, but as a casual player who enjoys the LMU environment and availability of other real drivers to compete with, I find I get bored with 'just' the same tracks week after week. Perhaps they could derive a non-WEC version called something else to appease the purists and add in other tracks and cars. Like probably a majority of players, I look on LMU as a fun racing environment I can jump into for 40 minutes of fun without getting too hung up on the WEC/ELMS part; for me at least, having a limited number of tracks tends to get stale. I even went back to AC for a bit of variety.

That is fine, but MSG has signed rather significant contracts to provide WEC a product that promotes WEC. I keep telling everyone if they wanted a '1 size fits all' sim, they have purchased the wrong product. I am glad WEC has allowed LMU to expand beyond just the confines of WEC to other FIA controlled events, but I certainly doubt that will extend to SRO and all the series organized by that direct competitor.

And a good explanation. I enjoy the ease of getting into races in LMU as a casual racer compared to iRacing which seemed much too structured to keep my attention. Haven't tried ACC yet but perhaps that would be a good alternative. But, depending on any non-compete elements in the MSG agreement, I would have though the developer could be free to derive a separately-named and targeted product while using the same technology from LMU.

Even though it's usage numbers are DWARFED by LMU, there are many here who would like to see rF2 upgraded to rF3 using LMU as a base.
That type of sim would make absolute sense of acquiring licenses from many diverse sources.
