The name of the minivan in development and also in the list of concepted vehicles is the Bruckell Chivala. Although my thought of the Soliad might not be true because I looked at Car8Johns drawing of it and realized it's actually a Pontiac 2 door, not a facelift of the van, lol.
On the original concept stage from 2013, there was a vehicle called the Bruckell Chivala, which I speculated was a minivan because Chivala on urban dictionary is: Which is definitely the type of thing Gabester would have done on purpose. Anyways the whole running joke of 'The Bruckell Chivala is being added' is that I speculated the Chivala was a minivan from like the mid 2000s and since this minivan could also be American and from the same time period that it is the Bruckell Chivala --- Post updated --- Oh I had zero idea about the Soliad Palisade when I made that drawing it was one of the vehicles with the least amount of info given to it so that was like almost entirely a guess
If they make the Palisade a coupe I sure hope it looks better than mine, Can't remember why I was up late drawing it but I do remember seeing it again when I was less sleep deprived and cursing myself for making the hood so damn short on it
With Leaked Circut of America. What kind of motorsport cars you think we will see in game ? Only F1 and F2 ?
The update will likely be published either directly or shortly after the winner of the Gambler500 modding contest is announced, as updating the game before then could break the contest entries. It is even possible we see the release of the update in conjunction with the announcement of the contest winners
I don't think Formula cars are happening soon, nor do i think they actually intend to release COTA publicly, it's probably just used to test the handling and overall performance of the cars
I hope you are right. I think Circuit of America will be similar to Johnson Valley and that we will se some class of motorsport like F1, F2. To get potential of new map and maybe tire thermals
As mentioned earlier, the leaked images are unrelated to upcoming updates of the game. Do not expect any of it to be released. That's all I can comment.
I doubt it's likely to be released so much as having a real-life racetrack can allow them to benchmark cars - not only compare them to how representative cars handle in other games, but also how representative cars handle in real life. I'd be unsuprised if there are racetracks local to certain developers in some versions so that they can benchmark a vehicle in game, and then repeat that in real life.
Honestly COTA is probably a hobby project of one of the dev's like SSRB was for Nadeox1 and wasn't intended to be publicly released in any form in-game. Someone probably just wanted to try out map-making instead of whatever role they usually had and chose COTA to recreate.
