THAT’S ALL I ASK. it’s giving me goosebumps just thinking about it coming to reality. PLEASE. I used to race on that track playing NFS Shift2 Unleashed on my PS2 lol. WXsO, not you too!

A single lap would be equivalent to over two laps of Le Mans. The asset file alone would be huge and orphan a lot of legacy devices. There is a lot more terrain that has to be accounted for which means a lot more needs to be loaded into memory to account for the speeds the scenery changes by. Lots more turns... It is like six minutes of Porsche Dynamic per lap. And a single lap would put the car in with the mechanics. Some things are best left to the consoles.

It would be a relatively steep learning curve as well. Le Mans doesn't have all that many turns, and they are pretty distinct. Nördschleife has tons of turns, many indistinguishable from others, and they are only showing up once every 7 minutes. I don't think it would be all that pleasant of an experience.
