Automobilista 2 V1.3.1.1 & Racin´ USA Pt2 RELEASED - Now updated to V1.3.2.0

I'm just waiting for that sweet NASCAR content. Maybe a sneaky Porsche 992 Cup car .

 

It really hurts my feelings as a Nascar and indycar fan when people consistently poo poo on the idea of adding oval racing to a sim. Like yes, I get it, its not a GT3, and yes maybe it would be better and easier for Reiza to focus on something else. But the last good single player Indycar sim we ever got came out in 1995 and the last good single player nascar sim came out in 2003. Its been 20 years, the oval sim fan base is starving at this point.

We desperately need something that isn't iracing solely because Iracing costs a arm and a leg, and is insanely competitive. (Very difficult go learn on) And God knows Motorsport Games isn't going to step up and make something good.

So its up to Reiza, they are literally out only hope for a oval sim that isn't ****.

 

NASCAR 2003 can only be modded so much lmao

 

All things considered, Pcars2's Rallycross physics was surprisingly good. Even with non-rallycross cars, the behavior of mixed surfaces was pretty believable. The problem was restricting lobbies to 6 players, no practice/quali, no heat structure, etc. iRacing nailed the racing format, but the dirt/gravel all feels like wet mud, as if they copy-pasted the dirt oval surface to rallycross. (I believe GRC, the series IRX tried to emulate mainly just used mud/dirt instead of gravel like World Rallycross typically does).

 

While we wait for an official oval DLC you can try this:

 

there will be Daytona Oval, i assume Phoenix, Texas and Indy.
and the oval versions of our current indycars. complimented by a generic NASCAR and some LMP2 or 3. You know, for DRIVING AROUND ROAD AMERICA for example.

 

Speculation or insider knowledge?

 

Daytona oval is confirmed. The others are speculation.

 

Tis is more a roundcourse,i think real Nascar fans need high banking.

Pure fantasy.

 

I for one am absolutely not shooting down the idea of ovals. I'm just saying either do it right, or don't do it at all. It would be ideal if at the time it is released, someone like yourself can jump in and have an enjoyable and genuine experience instead of just jumping in and walking away with a feeling that it is unfinished, like Pcars2 was.

 

GET OUT OF MY FORUM!!!

It's a forum about sim racing and cheese... specially cheese... ur not welcome, your apostate! Banned from our hearts you are!

 

I'm turned on by any good simulation that makes me belive things will work that way. Currently I'm surprised about Forza Horizon 5. I got all the cars of my street racing youth in game, and im really surprised how this game makes me feel sitting in an old 5 series BMW or Golf 2 GTI. Even the change in sound nuance whan putting in that K&N air filters, or the option to "weight tune" your Honda CRX street racer by removing spare wheels and toolsets. Not to mention adding after market body kits... etc.

Losing the 40km grand tour race against a Corrado VR6 in the long uphill section....

I felt like 24 again, for a few hours.

If you ask me, the Forza series right now blow AC and PCARS 2 out of the water in that "scene" category.The only thing i don't like are the somewat grotesk tunign options in regards to engine and driveline swaps. But the "mildly tuned" cars drive in a absolutely believable way. The rear of the 90's BMW 5 series kick out in 2 gear full throtle slow corners exactly how it used to in my days.

And its a good decission that there are no serious Motorsports series in Forza Horizon.

I played PCARS2 for the road cars only, since that category was abyssmal in Assetto Corsa.

 

Sorry, couldn't resist XD.

 

for me there was an additional problem.
I tried to organise a round based competition with 18 people / 3 groups with 6 drivers.
In the 1st heat best 4 qualifiing for 2nd round ( two groups ),
then best 3 qualify for the final round.
Could have been a cool competition if spectators were allowed to let the non racing drivers directly participate, spectating the 6 on the road. Unfortunatelly not possible, and streaming via twitch/YT/Steam stream was too much offset.
So it was a one hit event.

 

I think there's really too much communication from Reiza concerning the delay; I'd like a little more unnecessary silence. Also, can we please give dates we don't keep without a word a little more often? Always fun to be looking forward to an update, and checking this forum and the steam pages again and again in order to be disappointed. Especially so because a short message from the developer in order to not keep people waiting unnecessarily would be a truly humongous task the scale of which mere mortals can't even comprehend.

Reiza Studios communication (TM).
Always being unreliable is also a sort of reliability.

 

The problem is; you're going the wrong way. NASCAR only turns left

 

go out for a beer or two and relax. ( if you're old enough )

There are plenty more reasons to live, than just waiting for the next update.

 

What?
