WEC license

 

Having the licence for a series doesn't mean you get a license for the vehicles that take part in it.

 

I mean it depends on the license and AFAIK the WEC license means they get all content

 

AMS2 has IMSA license, and Ferrari GT3 is driving in IMSA though

 

yeah because the IMSA license is for the branding of IMSA, not the vehicles. WEC license isn't the same format.

 

I believe Raceroom/ KW Studios has very good connections to german racing teams and racing series owners such as the ADAC (DTM, GT Masters, Prototype Cup etc.), this will surely help to get the licenses for a car like the Ferrari.

I think the opticial presentation of the 296 GT3 is the worse in all of the Sims, particular the Dashboard is just bad. Driving wise it‘s absolutly brilliant.

And keep in mind: The Ferrari GT3 is not part of the premium pack!

 

yeah lol, Reiza could have just as easily given us official liveries to the cars before 1.6 and called it a day. But luckily they did not.

 

Liveries are also a different license. The IMSA license was just for the races

 

Differs from agreement to agreement, but I believe that it's a condition of 'LMGT3' homologation is letting the ACO licence them. One reason they're always so desperate to try and pretend the rules are their own and not the generic FIA spec.

IMSA licence for sure doesn't guarantee brands being included, but I'm sure it would help any discussions to licence cars that are in it. There's a reason Raceroom have one Ferrari and one Lamborghini.

 

What do you mean just for the races, the tracks?

 

They have the license to for example have a race called “Petit Le Mans” and not “x hours of Road Atlanta”

 

For any non-French speakers, this means 'Small the men'. This doesn't make any sense, but it's important that we have the license. Some theorise that it was originally a race for either children or very short people - this knowledge is lost to history.

 

Oh right, didn't know that was a thing, so do we have any events with official names in AMS2?

 

But even with IMSA license not automatically granding licenses for cars, it sounded like IMSA is a huge step in this direction and IMSA itself is supporting Reiza to get these agreements to paper. So hopefully the additions besides AM to the next Endruance pack will fill the last missing cars even more. And I still hope for 2025 liveries without mods to have more variety

I'm no French speaker, but shouldn't "Small the men" translate to "Petit les hommes"?

 

Since when would you translate city names? Petit Le Mans just meant to be "Little Le Mans"

 

I think (hope) it was a joke

 

Funny game
Interlagos = between seas
Campo Grande = big field
Nürburgring = round around Nürburg fortress

 

I guess that makes two of us


Spielberg = Game mountain
VIR = man (in latin)
Silverstone = silver stone
Lime rock = Lime rock
Long beach = long beach

 

So not to overthink this, but has anyone checked their vehicle folders lately?

Lots of new things have popped up. I'll list them.
