    Loving the crazy oversteer on throttle being massively reduced on cars I tried so far - really nice driving some of these cars :):)

    Incredible. I have to give a try.

    In the mean time, could someone also find time to fix the flickering textures in VR? I've pointed several out in the bug report thread recently, but someone really should map those and fix them. If you got time for all this detailed outside area of Barcelona...;)

    Good question. If you have the means to be a regular at the Goodwood Revival or FIA Historics events, then, yes, Formula Junior remains a car raced today—and raced often. But the series itself began in 1958. It’s like the difference between GPL and GTL. Reiza has straddled both worlds—no modern data loggers in historic cockpits, yet a rather uniform, full-face helmet across all categories.

    I know that the faster cars will get more attention and glamour , but I just spent half an hour lapping this little fella with Strauss providing the soundtrack, and it was pure joy. Awesome update Reiza. ss192916.jpg

    I am blown away by how much better the physics feel. Really good job Reiza, this is the first time i haven't felt disappointed after booting up Ams2.

    Yes, the F-Junior is an adorable little getabout. I love the handling, and the front suspension animation is a joy to watch.

    As I predicted I very much enjoy driving this on tracks like Cadwell and Oulton, but Monza Historic Junior is great too. It's the one type of ride I've been missing since uninstalling PC2. Well done, Reiza!

    The Junior is the star of this show...

    It really showcases the improvements in slow speed handling on another level compared to what the F-Inter showed when it came out...

    You can feel the natural mechanical grip even at slow speeds which has long been a problem in so many sims...

    I like it a lot. Feels like less "all stiff" car and driving in wet track now we have grip and no grip much more real. Nice work!!!

    Now will be hard to someone "don't feel connected to the road" anymore.

    It has crazy grip through corners, but I don't know how much of that is just the current cars' aero.

    I tried the f-usa at laguna seca, and locked up my front left at the corkscrew. Noticed a big chunk of tyre life was cut out, and very heavy vibrations

    This, plus some really cool understeer moments at low and high speeds.

    Reading all the positive posts about the RC Im really looking forward to the regular upd.
    New car and track are great but Im more or less mainly interrested in the physics/TM upd.
    The comments about the changes in the as example the L98T does sound promissing.
    Because I was one of the minority criticising the the unrealistic uber-brutality when the turbo cuts in.
    But the comments sounds promissing - guys ;)

    I’ve always doubted this reasoning very much. Just putting the year(even abbreviated) shouldn’t incur any problems when you already have the word ‘Formula’ there already.
    It’s just arbitrary naming because reasons.

    I can’t see any issues naming a class Formula Vintage ‘67, Formula Retro ‘74 or Formula Classic ‘86 for example.

    Yeah, normally I'll recognize something in a picture. But there's like a sidewalk and all, what the?!
