    Are the different aero configurations also on the cards for classes other than the Formula cars, for example GT1 or Group C?

    It’s hard to say something until we have a harder look at it, which quite frankly we haven’t yet - I know @ilka mentioned something about track lights on some tracks not being fully optimized yet, but to what extent that is a resource-hogging problem and to what extent it may be just a simple case of many light sources doing inevitable extra hogging, we are not sure - hopefully in time for 24h races we can take a harder look.

    Doable for sure, it’s the same thing we are already doing for the formulas.

    Amazing, amazing, amazing. You guys are doing an absolutely awesome job on the production of this game. Love everything about this update. I really love the online weekly time trial challenges - more of that! This will really help push online activity and community interaction. Well done guys!

    I couldn't be bothered too. Until I tested AMS2 in the Beta. I must say it ain't that trivial to trim every last millisecond gunning the car at 380 kph close to the wall for 50 laps consecutively negotiating traffic.
    It's far more interesting to drive than to watch

    now I get that many people are excited to see Indy Cars, but as an American, I was hoping to see some Nascar, or Nascar like American Stock Car classes in the Ovals pack. Don't take this as an afront to anybody, I'm not here to insult anybody, but I assume somebody will take offense to my no BS attitude.

    I'm sure that ya'll at Rieza are looking to garner more and more American players, and I can't blame you, but the problem is, you are focusing on the small timer series here. yes Indy is somewhat popular in the USA, but it really pales in comparison to Nascar, and to ignore Nascar, and treat it as if it doesn't exist is a serious mistake. I'm not sure if you are planning that, or if you are in the works on a Nascar like experience, but I feel I have to put this out there.

    This all leads to my question, is there anything close to a plan for an American Stock Car in AMS2, or am I barking up the wrong tree? All I'm looking for is a YES or NO here. I have yet to install AMS2 on my new PC, (I did get it on my old one), as all the releases you have come out with, while I like the tracks, I'm not digging the cars. I will however, install on my new PC if, and or when you indicate that American Stock Cars will be in this game.

    Sorry for thew long post, but I had to get this off my chest, and see if maybe I might get an answer to my question.

    I dont think they are ignoring NASCAR per se.
    It is mentioned in the Update, that they are planning to add more US Content later. This could be the stock car style cars you are talking about ?


    "we have already decided to expand our USA trip with plans for further components comprising both road and oval racing to go a fourth Racin´ USA pack further down the line."

    Not sure why I thought the Racing USA Pt.3 was going to be NASCAR but a the current Indycar is a very welcome surprise! The update sounds really great.

    Fontana. Today's DW12. Damn.

    Looking forward to Racing USA Part 3.

    Also, if they're adding a Racing USA Part 4, and we don't have NASCAR yet, it's undoubtedly NASCAR-style stock cars.

    Sounds awesome...I was holding off on RF2's pack with WWT track until we got this update. Interesting that both sims (who sometimes work together) are bringing out WWT concurrently and the IR-18 ( F-USA 2022). The IR-18 is very good in RF2, but I think this DLC will get bought first!

    I was kinda hoping for the Nissan license deal and teased Aston Martin to make an appearance around 1.4. Did those license deals get shelved? Back in the November update the Nissan cars were sounding like they were lined up for update 1.3.
