rFactor 2 Devs Teasing… Monza?

Edit:

It was Monza. They have published an article detailing how the track was laser scanned and will be previewing the release in the upcoming roadmap.

Original post:

It’s difficult to say for sure, but in a tweet yesterday Studio 397 teased the track they were likely talking about for the last couple of dev update posts as well. All the tease includes is a picture of grandstand seating:

Why do I think that’s Monza? Well, the rFactor 2 Discord convinced me (Julien Lemoine specifically) by posting this image:

Didn’t the rFactor series already have Monza? Well, no. rFactor featured a lookalike first-party generic track named “Brianza”. We can probably assume this will be officially licensed.

The only downside I can think of is that every open server will now run basically just this track just like every sim ever…

Anyway, what do you think? Monza?
