A bit more of a texture boost on the car & cockpits and I’d be completely sold. Track textures are fine though, finally a shot without blur.

Slightly Mad Studios is it the old simbin/blimey?

This look like Race 07 with the blur and reflections/HDR from the previous NFS

Looking forward to see what this will end up like.

I think Simbin holds the FIA GT license?

Oh, and I might be nitpicking, but the rollcage in the RSR looks really weird
