    The FFB of every car has been methodically hand-tuned to work with the new physics--so you can better feel and appreciate the nuances of what has been improved in the tire physics.

    I know ! But we are in videogame land here and when racing online if you want to use the high pit speed limit to simulate the era when there wasn't one, you make it easy for people to drive through the pit lane and serve the penalty basically without having to slow down ! I wrote it several times already, real life rules mean nothing for online racing when this can be abused.
    EDIT: Wilfrandy Ramirez how can you "Disagree" when i already did tests of this ?

    So, we need to be able to not use that penalty for series or times when it didn't exist. I agree. Some day, I'd like to see the profiles include the track cut rules as almost no series uses or has ever used them so strictly like in modern F1, which is what we have in the game by default.

    Guys dont forget to nominate Automobilista 2 for the Labor of Love Award at the current Steam awards! I think this award has never been more justified than in Reiza's case. :)

    Bouncing between main and Beta sometimes you forget what is already in the main and what is not, especially when the Beta cycle is 6-7 months

    How do we do that?

    [EDIT: Shows how little time I spend looking in/at Steam...it's on the main store page as you scroll down. Done!]

    I think limit was put because high number of liveries was causing the sim to have performance and stuttering issues I would say at least a couple of years ago if not more

    That is the number of liveries included for the particular car in the game. So, if you don't want to see duplicates, choose accordingly.

    You should see a banner in your Steam Shop that leads to the 2024 Steam Awards. I can try to give you the link but I am not sure if it will work:

    Can we then also have pit crews wearing shorts and no helmets to fully simulate the older days?

    Is the number next to the tracks how many layouts there are? I was hoping what grade the track is would be shown.

    isnt that the case in older classes? that the crews are not that well protected?

    i get that, but i was more curious if we can have more? does replacing skins work like it did before?

    One thing I would have liked to see is real driver names used for the IMSA content. I guess the license didn’t cover that.

    There is a guy here in the forum who makes the appropriate driver list with attributes ;)
    It's simple stuff to add in the folders

    I don't think there are any changes to that process.
