IWB1 wrote: Thinking about multiple cars and maybe a new track what crossed my mind is V8's and Auckland. From a targeting point of view the series has a worldwide interest and audience much like Le Mans and NASCAR. I think F1 would be out of the question. Bernie would want too much money for licensing. There again as his worldwide viewing numbers have been in freefall maybe a deal could be struck. Formula E could be the logical alternative. How many of the cars would you have? The rules now allow for more open development of the cars. I think (but don't know for sure and wasn't sure where to look to check) but I'm sure I read a comment somewhere that V8 is already under license to another game (exclusively). Which makes it pretty difficult for RR3 to get in there. I did try to have a quick look one time to see, but couldn't find anything (some out of date mentions but nothing current). Be more than happy to be corrected on that though!

One issue with Formula E might be it still being too experimental - ie how would you structure the upgrades but "keep it real"? I must admit I'm not hooked on car stats so haven't checked (or even considered the point before)- but how real/realistic are the upgrade paths they offer us?

Obvious manufacturers to add are Jaguar, Lotus, Mitsubishi (bound to be more).
