I really wanted to believe it after the first pictures, my real doubts came when Dominic (Betta Lines) expressed major doubts and also after Kaz mentioned more or less on the side that it's direct-drive... seemed like one of his pre-release (ill-conceived) promises he is kinda famous for with the GT series.

Ah thanks, I hadn't seen this. Well, that's the clearest indication I've heard, but I'm still sceptical. But whatever it turns out to be, it's great to have another option on the table.
Thank you 8) There are quite a few of us in our thread posting various news, updates & DL links etc & I am happy to help when I can.
I don't think the reintroduction of Porsche to PC sims can be accused of focusing on GT3. Of the 22 or so Porsches in the triple Assetto Corsa pack, only one is a GT3 car (assuming you're referring to the FIA GT3 series). The diversity that Kunos have delivered across the three packs is the best illustration of why the Porsche brand is exciting - I'm sure anyone could find at least one car that appealed to them.
Awesome, thanks guys. I really wasnt aware, but it does seem like a big deal now.Porsche is a legendary manufacturer of purebreed racecars with a huge history of winning everything there is, and arguably the manufacturer of the best roadgoing sportscars in the world.
Porsche was born out of a passion and was among the pioneers of almost any technology you find in today's race- and sportscars.
When Lamborghinis and Ferraris were still essentially nothing more than fancy looking shitboxes with powerful engines, and BMW was only building boring saloons, Porsche was already building race- and roadcars that were understated triumphs of German engineering that were as reliable as a beetle (which is the car it was born from). Ok, a Moby Dick Porsche isn't understated, but that monster came much later
That, for me, is why a Porsche in a sim is a very desirable thing.

I knew it was exclusive, and that kept it out of other games, I just didn't know they were so feverishly sought after as it seems they are.
I'm sure they were very aware of their absence from the big sims that are out now. IRacing, AC, stuff like that really has come a long way from when there wasn't exclusivity there. I wonder if they were ever frustrated they couldn't throw their name in the game along side the other big names? EA never did the brand justice I feel like.
