The announcement was hinted at in an earlier Weekly Update post from Codemasters mentioning that, “the PR guys are preparing PR stuff and the Community Team are busy teasing something…” All signs point to a proper sequel, as a post from Codemasters dev “CodesLoore” on NeoGAF confirmed that the impending announcement would not be for DLC and that they had heard the fans about the widely requested and frequently-modded cockpit view. An additional tweet also confirmed that Tuesday’s announcement would not involve Android or iOS.

RT @BenWalke: Can officially confirm that next Tuesday's announcement will NOT have the words Android or iOS in them.
