    You think we were hit with a cease & desist by Indycar lawyers and ended up with a IMS license from the same company? :)

    I wouldn´t see a reason to deny it if that´s what had happened, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. They naturally objected to the F-USA 2022, and we decided to pull it out both in respect to their objection and to keep our options open for the future - these range from getting back to a licensing discussion if circumstances change to doing a more unique looking generic F-USA.

    Did they object to older F-USAs? ;)

    Frankly, I think the old cars are cooler anyway, but I'm still kind of sad it got cancelled. Still secretly wishing we'd get Mid Ohio at some point...

    You can't just give us hope like that again... Indycar fans have been hurt too much.

    I am more interested into „filling up“ and making „real authentic“ the existing car series with important big brands in context of history.

    that gives me hope that the track roster gets more global and we get something like the career in PC2 :) where you can work up the latter in GT, Endurance, Formula, for example if you choose Brazil, you can choose to start in P4 in Endurance Brasil, if you choose like France, you start in LMP3 etc. but i think to see that come true, the content maybe needs more fleshing out in some spaces.

    But i can also see that working on a career mode where some content is behind a paywall can be headache

    While I hope we get Formula USA 2022 in the future in some form, we really need to flesh out the vintage circuits for CART. Historic Long Beach, Detroit, Surfers Paradise, Miami Oval... would bring so much to AMS2.

    20230217_175953.jpg Has there been any talk about what's coming in the extreme pack yet? My only lead has been ian bell posting pictures of a MK2 escort that looks different from the PC2 version. I'm assuming, (giving they're using AMS 2 models as test mules) that's one of the cars?

    Historic Long Beach would be great... Surfers would be epic and would serve the Super_V8s and any Aussie based DLC that comes in the future...

    Detroit and Portland are right up there with Mid Ohio for tracks that we desperately need...

    So let me paint a idea in your head for RUSA P4

    We currently have
    Indycar Triple Crown
    Indianapolis Speedway
    California Speedway
    //Pocono//

    Nascar Triple Crown [of the 90's]
    Daytona 500
    Brickyard 400
    //World 600// (Charlotte)

    Endurance Racing Triple Crown
    Daytona 24
    //Unnamed French Track// (all but confirmed to be coming)
    //Sebring 12 hours//

    With 1 DLC, Reiza could nail down the biggest races in America for 3 different disciplines of racing.

    Pocono and Charlotte also have Road courses
    Sebring has to be one of the most requested tracks outright.

    And all 3 were used in the 1980's and 1990's by IMSA for GTP, GTO, and GTU.
    GTO and GTU would fit a much needed gap in the current content for 80's-90's GT cars. (Necessary for Lemans)

    Road Atlanta is our version of lemans, yes but it is not part of the actual World Endurance racing triple crown, and Lemans is basically a lock, so I went for that one.

    Personally if they were going to add Road Atlanta I would rather have it as a premium track pack

    We need it in the heyday of all the weed being smuggled in-and-out of that track

    my 2 cents on the USA 4 Pack
    Charlotte
    Sebring
    Mid Ohio
    so it covers NASCAR, Endurance and Indycars

    Cars
    Porsche 963
    Acura ARX-06
    Chevy NASCAR
    Mazda MX5 Cup

    Btw regarding Le Mans, i had a vision that Catalunya might be the final track as it covers historic formula one racing, and thats what seems to be mostly what is driving the historic track packs. Sorry, but it seems realistic cause its also in every game.

    Catalunya isn't in France tho, nor did GT1 and Group C race there with low downforce areo.

    There IS 1 more premium track pack still to come for the season pass and thats probably what your thinking about. Lemans will come after that.

    Currently the most suspected tracks for the 6th track pack are Fuji, Zandervoort, and I guess Catalunya could be put in there too despite the fact its a zhitty race track.

    Also very much doubt ANY Modern GTP car will be coming to AMS 2. I'm willing to bet they'll mostly show up in Iracing due to the Imsa/Nascar connection.

    MX5 and MidOhio would be a awesome mini pack tho. Reiza, if your in the mood for some $5 DLC

    I thought that was for GTR Revival. Was this confirmed that they're using AMS2 models for testing? I knew Reiza and Ian had some collaboration after he left SMS given his post with Renato a while back, but did we get any solid confirmation of what they were working on?

    I'd expect to see VW stuff before we'd see a classic MK2 Escort or other Ford content, but I hope to be proven wrong.

    I wouldn't be surprised if we got the Cadillac given the current DPi license. Given the presence of the other LMDh/LMh cars, GM would probably be open to it. I wonder if we'll ever get the GT3 version of the Vette.

    By far, one of the most entertaining series right now. If y'all haven't watched the Daytona race... :whistle:

    But... we were supposed to get a 2nd DPI at some point... So would they both get upped to GTP's or would we just end up with 1 of 1 and 1 of the other?

    The USA bonus pack could actually bring additional tracks and cars for the classes already present.
    Also, I'm hoping for some leads:
    - an additional oval, Miami or Charlotte
    - an additional urban circuit, there are too few in AMS2, Detroit or historic Long Beach (the layout for the CART era and the layout for F1). Some will say, "Long Beach was already part of a DLC": I don't care, the circuits are different so no worries for me.
    - an IMSA type road circuit: Sebring or Portland.

    Regarding cars:
    - Chevrolet Lumina Nascar
    - Chevrolet Camaro Zl1 Nascar
    -Mazda MX5
