Track Updates Disappointment...again
Note: This is based on the trailers, so things might chance however, not likely. It is such a disappointment that the tracks with the most legacy in the history of the sport is still stuck on 10-15 ...

Yeah, agree fully.
I would also much rather drive a correct modelled track with outdated sponsoring and kerbcolor, than wrong modelled track with "up to date" sponsoring and environment. Modern F1 cars on the iRacing Spa is way more immersive than driving these games on Spa, especially since other circuits like Imola or Suzuka is so well made it just enhances the problem with the older track models.
@DannyVomb Imola, Portimao and Zandvoort are all a joy to drive on. And it goes to show how photogrammetry can be well done, as I am not sure the former two were actually laser scanned.
Now laser scan is not the be all end all of racing games.
But there's no beating the levels of fun and pure joy of even hotlapping alone around a laser scan track when you can feel the bumps and the surface getting rough, when you know that that kerb you spit you out of you step on it but will hook you up and help you make it through the corner faster if you mount it properly, or that you can come in hot on that corner because it is cambered in your favor 💕
All these things often fall flat, pun intended, in subpar renditions of the same tracks.
