Pretty much.  Could be ghosts of the past too (notice how many are the GT4 locations that didn't make it to 5).

Well that is just plain gorgeous   Very cool partnership for Kaz to pursue as well.

[SpecMiata-JSW]

I concur. I haven't been online yet, is it any good or even stable for that matter? I've been letting my rig get very dusty over the past year.

Earn a bronze or better in any of the Senna Challenges and you’ll receive the car. In addition, Senna Challenges place racers in the same courses driven by Senna, challenging them to beat his legendary lap times. Those include:

• Lotus 97T
  
  
  
  • Course: Monza ’85 layout
    
  • Target Time: Senna’s pole position time 1’25.084
    
  
  
  

• Lotus 97T
  
  
  
  • Course: Brands Hatch ’85 layout
    
  • Target Time: Senna’s pole position time 1’07.169

The F3 is really fun. BRAAAAAAAAPPPPPP

The Lotus is surprisingly easy to drive. Will spin'em up at the top of 3rd gear. You only have 5.

The kart was a kart. They did put two huge cone chicanes on the back straight of The Stowe Circuit, which gives me hope that one day we'll be able do so ourselves on any track.

The real highlight though are the 80's variants of the Brad's Hatch and Monzarella. Both are better than the modern versions. The Monza gold lap was fairly easy to achieve. Once I had the differences figured out my first clean lap was gold. Brand's Hatch took a little more learnin' to figure out where the road was, and then it took me about a dozen laps to cut down the lap time. 

The idea that they're using the licenses they have to go back and make old versions of tracks is promising because we need the original Nurburgring, maybe some old Le Mans, pre Dunlop and even Ford chicanes.

The Senna slideshows have a lot of really good pictures. The writing is a little repetitive in some places but the story is there, including lots of little details.

And there's a Mitsubishi VGT out of nowhere.

Ditto, old tracks being good. Brands Hatch was deceptively weird.

They sound awesome, but were a little to welded to the ground (probably mostly RS tire choice), so everyone that can wheel can get the goods.
