Thank you in advance for Meadowlands modelling

Probably because I kept nagging about it during our rF1 season, so maybe I am partially guilty

That and the Manfred Schurti addition ... somewhen I will have to put an end to so much complaining ...

That or the "H" in HSO is gonna start wobbling and threaten to fall off its acronym of the league

Although we're not the "PHASO - Painful Historically Accurate Simracing Organisation".

In the CART Mod is Al Unser in rounds 9 & 10 too. Are they the 500 miles races?

Yes.

Makes me remember that Cleveland is on the Le Mans weekend and I'll miss it

Bad timing...

With above post in mind, and it probably being very unlikely to avoid the LM weekend, please consider me already absent for the Clevaland race.

Hello guys,

Two small questions for you!

Will you do a Laguna Seca 1988 and a Toronto 1988?

Thank you for your reply

There will be a Toronto 1988 version, not sure about Laguna Seca there's no plans for a specific 1988 version yet.

Great thank you to you

Its really a new track as Alberto has been making it as accurate as possible. The track is in final testing now.

Yes, the MIS versions we've used in the past were always slightly smaller than real life, meaning the speed calculations were always skewed; Alberto has put in a lot of work to address this problem for the Marlboro 500
