Ha, have you tried iRacing? Lfs has the best tyre physics i have driven. No other sim has gotten close yet.
If its such an issue, go & race c.a.r.s or Gt5.
As for the announcement. Meaningless pap designed to keep us all happy/quiet. No hard facts or an eta. I though iRacing were full of shit but the lfs devs are fast lowering themselves.
On the plus side, at least we arent paying silly money to be fed poo & the devs spoke to us twice in a year!. Not all bad.
I reckon a .50cal bullet could pierce a shipping container in RL but that doesn't happen either. Infact do any of the guns in Bf3 pierce the shiiping containers?
