    Hi. I have been wondering where the race update is. I want to see the new Bolide and lap times. Can a dev please leave a comment? (Don't mention the fact I don't have the game, I am planning to buy it if I like what I see in the "race" update.)

    The vehicle content side of it is done, but there is still code work to do. We do not have an ETA right now.

    If there is no ETA, why does it say coming soon?

    Is there an official temporal definition of the word "soon"?

    Soon in time means near/close. PS4 will soon come out. Within a short period after this or that time, event, etc.: We shall know soon after he calls - Dictionary.reference.com

    Ah but near/close on what scale. My death from old age is very very close in comparison to the day our sun goes supernova.


    The devs do the best they can

    The way to interpret the banner is "We're working on it". In my experience the word "soon" means nothing whatsoever.

    This answer the question?



    Although in all honesty, if you want to buy the game why wait until after the race update?

    We still need to write some kind of anti-cheat measure; probably hashing of all the game and vehicle data so people can't give the cars extra torque or grip without being disqualified. Why the whole game? Because you could increase torque and grip without editing the vehicles. We also need to pretty it up and fix up the UI (since we recently replaced the old UI drawing system with a new one that doesn't work yet). There may or may not be 3rd person gauges in the race update; we have a working numberless tachometer right now as a test. There's other stuff too... like I said it's not up to me to code it, so I can't say with any authority.

    Interesting. This game has been in need of some sort of HUD. Glad that I may not have to switch to Debug 1 just to drive stick anymore.:)

    I always just listen. It's pretty easy to tell when you need to shift.

    Yes, but your lap times will not count alongside the "unmodded' vehicles. They will be in their own "cheaters' pool" of unlimited modding.

    This hopefully will be at least a 99% cheater-proof leaderboards system. I know what it feels like to get cheated off of a leaderboard. Games like COD have too many hackers on the leaderboard IMO, but a smaller (hopefully) community on here, where there is usually just a few clearly hacking members that we can just act like they aren't there (take off 30 from your position if there is 30 hackers), and move on with our competitions.
    Also, is there any loosely applied release date?
