Hi there!

I have some news for you.

Well, straight to the point, I’m now officially part of the DRM modding team and we already started the work a month ago or so, it’s a long way to go, but the results are promising. No wips or E.T.A. yet, but expect some news soon™ in the best sim related sites out there. Stay tuned 😉

I’m very happy to be part of such talented team and I feel the necessity to say a big thanks to the guys for the receptiveness and everything else. 🙂

So, lets back to the business here,  this is not just a compatibility update, I’ve been working on it for a while and delayed it a bit because of the 1.1 update, we have some new details specially in the Turbo version and some optimizations too, I know that everyone are busy playing the Dream pack (myself included :P) but I hope you guys enjoy it.

Another thing you may noticed is now all links will go through adf.ly if you lay the mouse over the url there a hint if you are not used to it. Just takes 5 seconds and can help me a bit 🙂

If you have any suggestions, doubts, requests or just want to say thanks leave a comment. Just don’t ask for more cars
