The intro to that song always reminds me of the Deal or No Deal tension music.

Assetto Corsa / Kunos Interview with Stefano Casillo
I love how deeply passionate all the Kunos guys are. AC is really a labor of love.

I don't watch ISR all that much and would have missed this interview so thank you for posting a link here.
The Kunos team fantastic; first time I've heard Stefano speaking so this was a real treat.
I don't often sit through an half hour of "youtube", but this was great, I could listen to this guy (Stefano Casillo) all day. I think it's awesome that he has an actual office at the Vallelunga circuit. A small team doing this is incredible, they seem to have the perfect match of very talented people. This is going to be great. My DK2 is ready.
Yeah, that was a great watch. These guys deserve all the success in the world.

Excellent video with Stefano. Am I going crazy or did Stefano say around the 10:25 mark that Laguna Seca was coming to AC????!!

He was talking about the mod track. But it was a bit weird how he talked about it. I find it hard to believe that he doesn't what Laguna Seca is.
I think he knew, he just avoided to say the name for some reason, maybe as a joke, or perhaps for licensing reasons.

Seeing as this game still refuses to load for me,does anyone know if it supports triple monitor setups?

Thanks,will give it a try once I sort the problem out.
Ahaha, "dog simulator" because of sticking your head out the window with the DK2.
I love that guy's passion and enthusiasm, it's infectious as hell. I'm so happy that the guys seem to be nailing every aspect of this game. They deserve every bit of success they're destined to get!

Anyone got triple display working?
I have never tried a game running all three, so as long as the Nvidea control sees the three displays and they are set up it should work in game?
Options in game is set to triple display but only my centre display is working. What do I need to do guys?

so when will the release candidate be released[mad sic]? Someone had said in the coming days. In that insideSimRacing interview they said the 1.0 version would be out in the coming weeks.

having their office in the racetrack building is something I honestly approve as a bullseye move 8)
smart guys both Stefano and the crazy greek dude, Aris.
about what he says is the next step in simulation for them (ie what happens in loss of grip situations),
t10 having a great budget and connections, and after trying their luck with the biggest tire manufacturers,
they went to order scientific testing and research on their own for these loss of grip situations, working directly with science/technology companies that were able to make such tests under a controlled environment and produce data.
so, when its time to go to that next step, Aris & Stefano, I think it wouldn't hurt to give calspan a call.
could be overall a time-saver and a goldmine too.

Yes it's going 1.0, will be released "within the next few weeks, not months" and yes it will go up in price.

I think the 1.0 RC update was expected last weekend / this week, but I haven't seen any news so far.

People keep saying the RC gets released today but no one has given a source. Give the source!
arghhh... I really want a date so I can make sure I get a bit of a discount!
Its RM75 here in Malaysia on Steam which is US$25 - already a great price. Back when I was in Australia earlier this year it was US$39.99
I wouldn't count on it. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to discount your product right before you proceed to raise the price on it. Its just throwing away income.

How much will they increase the price? It's 35 euro on Steam atm, was it ever cheaper?
Betta Lines

I've seen it on sale at least three times. Pretty sure it has been half that price.
Yeah pretty much this.
But just to confirm - the price is going up for the RC? or v1.0?
and why not just release v1.0.. seems like two releases in as many weeks...

Do you expect it to go on sale again? It's currently 22 percent off.
artsi

Just this according to AC forums, no confirmation (or denying) from devs:

You should take that 22% off while you can. If it becomes v.1 today, I'd expect it to go up rather than down. It will of course go down at some stage as all games do, but when that happens seems pretty random (other than Steam's famous summer sale).
Normally I would agree. However, the larger than expected sales is because AC is on Steam and a large factor behind that has been the various sales.
To get more sales, they can either stress the fact that the price is going to go up soon, or discount again as a special bonus.
I wouldn't rule out the latter.
I guess not, but I'm still not seeing the sense in it. What's the point of raising the price at all if they feel their best way to make money is to keep the game at a discount or put it on sale even further? While raw sales numbers are nice, making money is the important part. Trying to push sales with a bigger discount now is going to hurt sales of the full release.
I think this release (today) will be the RC, so a public version with 1.0 content - but they will be able to fix any last minute bugs. I think the actual non-Early Acess release will be shortly after that(maybe a week?), at which point the price may increase. Correct me if I'm wrong on this.
Anyway, everyone should own this. Do your part, citizens.
