FM adds Chiron.

Players (immediately after the news): "Why Chiron, it's ancient, give us Divo!"

Did Chiron lost its speed because it's so ancient? Its acceleration is heavily degraded because, hey, it's barely three years old? Hilarious.

Message to FM: Don't you ever dare to add the Porsche 919 Evo! That s**t is way too old now and it will be ancient by the time you add it! I know you are being somewhat sarcastic and all but ...

Before the Divo was a twinkle in Supercar Blondes eye and when the Chiron was new, I (and others) begged, Please give us the Chiron! Ignoring the ridicule (it's a crappy car that can't steer) we still wanted it! Then the Divo came out, promising even better handling. Why wouldn't we update our Request For New Car to the latest iteration? And especially because it directly addresses the most common complaint?

I'll answer my own question (to avoid further ridicule/sarcasm): Profit. There is more money to be made by releasing not one but two versions of the Chiron now and then, perhaps in version 8.3, we'll get the Divo. Kinda like releasing all those versions of the 911.

Have a great day. If you listen to the forums, you would think that only Mildvex and I are the only ones that want the 911 RSRs. If you go by the data that FM has, you will see that those are always the most popular cars that they bring to the game, no matter how many they have brought.

As for the Chiron and the Divo, all roads lead to ... LICENSING. It was the ability or lack there of to get the license to bring them to the game that is on display here. FM can't do anything if Manufacturer doesn't want to let you use the car. I am crying that AM and Merc have not yet had any interest to license the Valkyre and AMG One, respectively.
