    It was one of the best things from PC2, I'd love to see it done by Reiza.

    That would be great. A modern and a vintage version (60s or 70s) along with a 3 car pack matching each track version. We already have a few series that would fit Le Mans, GTE, Group C, GT1.

    I think Le Mans has one of the most expensive licenses, so it's certainly unlikely it will come, but never say never. I think there are better tracks to have ingame, like Sebring.

    I'd take it without license as well, but then there might be an issue with selling it for money. I don't remember how well rF2's Azure Circuit DLC went over with the people.

    Lol ok. The French Coutryside Vintage International Racetrack, stage of the prestigious 1440 Minutes de La France.

    In RF2 there's the Le Grand Circuit mod...

    Call it "Circuit Pays de la Loire", sounds fancy and it would even be in line with the other unlicensed AMS2 tracks being named after the region they're in (apart from Spielberg that's named after the village it's in) :)

    100% agreed on the unlicensed idea. I do wonder if this is legally possible.

    A pack of lemons is cheap.
    A Le Mans pack would probably be expensive to license.

    Having Circuit de la Sarthe & Bugatti circuit in the game would nice though.

    Renato has stated previously that the Le Mans license is expensive but not much more expensive than some of the licenses they already have. Also, before someone mentions it, the Motorsport Games exclusive license only covers eSports events for 24h of Le Mans, not the track model itself.

    Maybe it will come in the future if AMS2 sells enough copies.

    We will see. Things first Multi-class, fueling and all that needs to work in harmoney before Le Mans can be a thing. Driving one class in Le Mans is kinda boring. It's built for Multi-class due it's long straights, etc.

    What would the problem with multiclass? I agree that one class at Le Mans is boring. (Only 32 cars is also not ideal, but anyways). I have been doing multiclass races against the AI without major issues.

    Fueling seems to be a problem really. AI pits way too many times and not in a logical way.

    Oh, If I remember correctly sometimes the faster cars will bump into the slower, or try to overtake where they can't overtake. Will test it someday again. but fueling etc like you described are still a thing to mention. And AMS 2 still doesn't have a good drive swap.

    We are still waiting for vintage Spa thats was originally due to be released last year. The good thing is, it is closer to a release then any other vintage track... and can serve the same purpose like a vintage Le Mans since it is also a 14km road track....and as a plus vintage Spa features a banked corner.

    The one in my picture above is from AC and is called Circuit de la Sarthe.
    Which actually is the orig GP track name established before it became the place for the anual 24H event.
    I couldnt care less if a track is laserscanned - at least if it is created with so enormously care as this one.
    In my oppinion this AC version is close to the quality of some AMS2 tracks.;)
    In AC there is even a newer LeMans called sx_lemans_v2.1.
    Which should be even more fancy and realistic - Im told :)

    Reiza sells Azure Circuit for money in AMS 2 also. It's part of the base game, which costs $60.

    Exactly, we also need driver swaps and stewarding in ams2 before enduros at le mans can be a thing, in addition to LMHs and LMP2s. At least we can have a single player le mans experience without the stupid ai of rf2.

    Multiclass is a lot better now I'd say.

    The refueling issue is bugging me a lot. It is there since PC2. So one could think it is a complex problem to solve, but then... it could be simply that SMS didn't care.

    But now we can set custom grids and assign specific drivers to specific cars. And by playing with this I noticed some curious results that make me think this is a predictable behavior, and thus it may be not that difficult to fix. Fingers crossed.

    I even created a thread about it because I haven't seem this particular aspect being discussed, I only found people complaining that the AI was not so smart in races with only 1 pitstop needed.
    AI pit strategy - big mystery! - please help

    A proper driver swap would be great, including the possibility of swapping with AI and accelerating the simulation.
