    I've tried EA's F123 and F124 and I think Reiza's 2024 Formula Ultimate (F1) is miles better. Reiza could really dominate the F1 market with this great content but a lot of F1 tracks are missing. Obviously I have no idea how difficult/expensive it is to license tracks, but if they could fill in most of these gaps in the calander and create Q1, Q2 and Q3 qialifying, then F1 on AMS2 could really take off.

    I wonder if maybe they need to expand their track team to make it possible to make all the tracks

    I'd say that creating tracks is quite a bit more work than cars, especially if we're talking about street tracks with a huge amount of trackside objects. And I mean HUGE. And look how many street courses we have now in F1 (without Monaco) : Baku, Miami, Melbourne, Singapore, Las Vegas. That's plenty of work for the track/3D department. And at this point we haven't even started to talk about licensing costs....

    So you see where this is going. :whistle:

    Modding>licensing costs
    Genuine question, has a single track owner ever even considered suing Kunos for the thousands of unlicensed tracks in Assetto Corsa?

    Urban circuits offer a greater diversity of circuits. For a better representation of current F1, some street circuits and Middle Eastern circuits are missing in my opinion. Adding for example Singapore and Bahrain would correct this. I cite Bahrain because this circuit has been on the F1 calendar for 20 years and is also used for the WEC. Other circuits like Baku are also interesting. Obtaining a complete calendar seems illusory to me, but proposing a coherent calendar is possible.

    Would a license even be needed for public road circuits like Melbourne and Baku?

    They can do them the same way as Kansai is and isn’t Suzuka.

    I have no idea, but track modding isn’t possible and all the ports from PC2 aren’t without problems

    I would like to have tracks like Bahrain, Mexico, Melbourne & Zandvoort in AMS2, but I don‘t want tracks like Las Vegas of Dschidda.

    But how can a modern F1 calender in AMS2 could be build with what we have? Here is my idea:

    01. Kyalami - South Afirca
    02. Circuito dos Cristais (Curvelo) - Brazil
    03. Adelaide - Australia
    04. Kansai - Japan (Suzuka)
    05. Le Mans Bugatti - France
    06. Hockenheim - Germany
    07. Imola - Italy
    08. Azure - Monaco
    09. Montreal - Canada
    10. Barcelona - Spanien
    11. Spielberg - Austria
    12. Silverstone - UK
    13. Cascais (Estoril) - Portugal
    14. Spa - Belgium
    15. Jerez - Spanien
    16. Brands Hatch - UK
    17. Monza - Italy
    18. Nürburgring - Germany
    19. Donington Park - UK
    20. Indianapolis - USA
    21. Long Beach - USA
    22. Sao Paulo - Brazil
    23. Watkins Glen - USA
    24. Ternas Rio Hondo - Argentina

    If we could add DRS-Zones to the none-F1 Tracks ingame, this would be a really nice season calender (just my 2 cents). Like 2020 covid race season, one of my favourtie seasons I ever watched because of the great tracks we got.

    i dont know, probably yes?
    as a modder myself, i think simracing modding is a grey area and porting (ie literally copy/paste of licensed PC2 cars in AMS2) is a dark grey/almost black area IMO
