Title: Dream Pack is available to pre-order on Steam

Released on 11th March you can now pre-order with a 33% discount on Steam. Should be good although I bet it doesn't fix some of the sillyness associated with multi-player  ::)

And what a ridiculous statement that is!  ::) Never watched a VLN race then or Oldtimer GP?!

Nords is like Marmite -ppl either love it or hate it, with not much middle ground it seems..

Having driven it for real I'm very much in the former category.

Pre ordered mine today  :)

I love the Nords personally and think its a great challenge, amazing circuit with its own aura whether you just do some tourist laps or a full race on it. Most people that are negative about it just can't be bothered to learn enough of it to enjoy properly. Been twice in my own car and would love to spend a whole week just pounding around it. But each to their own  :)

Pre-ordered, since I've been a 190E fan since SEGA GT Online - with that, and the Alfa Romeo 4C, GTA AND 155 it's worth it.
As much as I like the Nordschleife I can't see myself racing it much...might be useful as training if I ever get to drive it though. ;D

could do with with seeing if everyone is going to get it, before organising races with them. Some people might not want to get it.

Err, not me.

Ordered here  :)

Looking forward to some of the new cars but apart from the GTs I'm not sure how they'll fit in with existing cars  :-\  Nords? I can take it or leave it.

More important for me with 1.1 is that they fix the bugs that have been introduced in recent builds and bring in some features that make league racing better.

What I don't get is that they put the development and release of Nords in advance of a Le Mans circuit.

Now I'll probably get inundated with "there already is a Le Mans track".

I believe there are problems with an official Le Mans circuit in AC to do with licensing (very expensive) and access for laser scanning. Maybe sometime in future but for now we have this:

I think Nords is a very important marketing option for Kunos in the same way it has become a world renowned benchmark track for headline laptimes by all the sports car manufacturers. 

Car set wise, they are a bunch of pretty cool race cars. Gtr I assume fits the Gt3 class and the merc DTM can fight the e30 BMW DTM. C7r is GT2? So already 2 other cars to fight in AC. Alfas may be more standalone for now.  :-\

Take your point MJ. But I (and I'm hopeless with the various classes of modern'ish cars) would expect drivers, e.g. us who pay the money, of GTR2 type cars to be more thrilled with Le Mans than with Nords. The only other track I associate with long distance driving is Spa (oh and perhaps Monza), which is already available. Rather than more cars I would want to see some more world famous circuits, and not Italian tracks either. I would expect to see some USA circuits soon like Sebring etc.
