This crystal ball gazing thread could be fun. I'll start with the first prediction. Bernie gets tough on unlicensed F1 addons/mods by 3rd party developers. Next...

One of the two big new releases, GTR3 or RF2, will be a disappointment.

rF2 won't get out of the beta phase before 2013. GPL will continue to be played and celebrate it's 15th anniversary. I still won't win a virtual F1 race, but won't have a single disco.

rF2 will still have a lousy AI. GTR3 first screenie we all saw in magnum's thread turns out to be a photoshop makeover of its actual in-game graphics (remember Game StockCar?)

Red Bull Racing will bomb. And in Simracing... West Brothers announce Racing Legends to be released by Codies who say that F1 2013 will be their masterpiece.

In F1 Kimi Raikkonen will complain about the lack of pace notes or co-driver in the Lotus Renault. In SHQ Jedi Master will buy Dirt4 and F1-2012 upon release and I will then buy them on sale for 90% off 3 weeks later.

I will cause the first pile-up at Loews in Monaco when the rF2 Historics are released and we all get online together.

I can only hope the Lotus 49 for iRacing will be a blast, but If you do a Lotus, you just have to do a Ferrari 312 and of course the Eagle as well. I also think RF2 will be very good, especially the 60's F1 machines. As much as I liked GPL and raced it for years, I gave it up last year, couldn't go back to it now anyways after iRacing, it just doesn't drive as well.
