Pugamall: Because it builds hype which in turn brings it to more peoples attention,which equals cheap advertising,lol

It also builds frustration and eventually disappointment, as in previous releases!

It was leaked well before that!! December 2008.

Race pro wasn’t even out.

Either way I’m not saying it will be Historics, but a possibility

phil23: If the leaked info about Race Pro’s DLC is correct then Historic GT’s and Tourers could well be Jakob

Err, the info leaked precisely on 1st of April... Allow me to doubt it seriously :)

AeroMechanical:
Oooooh, I like that GTL2/GTL Evo/whatever idea. I’d buy that in a second. That would make all kinds of sense given the popularity of P&G and Historix. If they still own the rights to the GTL models, which are some of the finest car models in all of sim-racing even after all this time, it would be pretty easy to implement. Also, the historic touring car license probably isn’t particularly expensive and would mesh well with the whole Touring/GT theme of the game.

I still say it’s a “Lost” game… Maybe those camper vans the Dharma Initiative drove.

Naturally this is just wild speculation, but this would pretty much be the number one on my list of desired possibilities. If it turns out to just be another WTCC season, meh.

Wishful thinking of course, but I it’s certainly not beyond the realm of possibilities.

six.degrees: Surely it’ll just be WTCC 09?

No otherwise they'll get no sale's with Race On. <

In the case you like that Volvo roadster, it was reviewed some months a go in the Top Gear magazine (yep, the paper one, not the TV program)

I sort of doubt this car will be created by SimBin. But in case anyone is curious, you can see more pictures of this car here:

I doubt it has anything to do with Volvo. That said if it is a Vovlo sim of some kind, I think I’ll pass. I mean Volvos are pretty boring to drive let alone simulate.

^^This is true

But I managed to stay unaffected by just not being a SimBin gamer
