Wow.
Just wow.
I always felt that Netcar, with some offline options, licensed content and slightly better visuals could be a serious contender in the serious sim racing market. Well, here this comes.
Now this is definitely a very interesting year we have ahead of us. CARS, Rfactor2, GTR3 and this baby here.

Sooo much cool stuff next year. Looks like 2012 will be the year that Sim Racing moves to the next level. Never been a better time to be a sim-racer!
I hope Kunos can push this to a large audience. They are a truly talented team and If it does have an open modding structure i can see this drawing a lot of folk away from rF2 when the subscriptions kick in.

Wow I am definitely interested in this, nkPro is great, lets hope they get the multiplayer working well which I think is one of the reasons nkPro never took off.

I wonder what happened. Did someone finally give him a chance and sponsor a development team? This is way more than he could do single handed.
The only thing I dislike is that CARS, Rfactor2 and likely this here will *all* rely on some kind of community-management/subscription-like/monitored install with a central server requirement. How hard is it to get a sim these days that can be installed and run 100% offline with no third party involvement...

It's actually a small, proper company now according to my information.

Nice and modest interview.
I think they have a good market next to CARS as I think they will go for "less flash" in presentation but more detail of actual racing events. I.e. not so special career modes where you go from cart to F1, no "battlelog" online, but rather solid practice, qualifying and race structure within class specific rulesets, as per real life.

Depends on their pricing model, I'd be interested for sure.

They just announced that they've licensed one of the historic tracks of all time... Imola Licensed

Jens also posted some info here: http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3541995/What a horse race 2012 is turning into for racing sims! Reminds me of the WWII air combat sims "year" back in the early 1990s where we had more flight sims arrive than could be kept-up with! A wealth of riches.

I just want to see one of them come trough without a centrally managed 'membership/account' deal. Assetto Corsa may be that one, the netkar DRM was very lenient.
