In a recent Studio 397 forum post a poster asked if S397 would be a bit more clear about their timeline. Marcel responded that the UI and Competition Infrastructure (CI) is currently in internal testing and that as soon as the testers can no longer find bugs or showstopping errors they would release the UI and CI update as a public beta. He also went on to say that we should expect this public beta in "weeks rather than months".
To me this is great news as it signals that we may be seeing the new rF2 alot sooner than I had thought. (2020) Lets keep our fingers crossed.
Here is the original forum post.
