I notice that a lot of videos and pictures don't use clear weather lighting and mostly use the cloudy settings because they look more natural.
They are going to start using a patching method rather than d/l a full build.
Think todays build is the first patch, although I'm not 100% sure.

yep, you will need to have build 197 and then patch it to 202 rather than download the entire game again.
also, i'm loving the stock car, especially the interior lights

Yesterday's senior manager build mentions the patching system the the build release notes, so hopefully today's Team Member+ release will be available as a patch for those with previous builds already installed. Unless this weeks build will be the first one that is patchable we'll be able to patch from next week onwards.

I like the idea of a patching system I'l have a spin on this tonight, the stock car actually looks like great fun and I hate nascar lol

It's about time we got patches rather than 3GB weekly files.
I don't mind downloading the 3GB, it just can't be doing my SSD any good constantly removing and installing the game every week.
Same here
It's just 3GB takes hours to download here though which sucks 
MP progress update looks good, can't wait for it!!

thats a fantastic trailer Final8y. i'll definitely be spamming that to my friends who dont have CARS.
also, weyland, i have to agree with you, the road version of the stock car is such fun.
(other than the in air physics bug, thats annoying)

I have the same opinion as you but for a car that is 3.8 tons it's easy to drive on the limit, have finally gotten around to play the game again since i last played it around 3 weeks ago.
From what i have found out is Besos GP looks like it's ready to be demolished, cars are easier to drive since the 174 build, the caper stock car is fun to drive around Connecticut but utter boring around some other tracks, anyway enjoy the video of me driving around Connecticut GP with the Caper stock car.
