    Not only at Silverstone National Circuit, but also on tracks like Oulton Park and Sebring, the entire GT3 Gen1*2 and retro formula class frequently experiences incidents. AI-controlled cars often can't even last a lap or two before flooding into the pits for repairs. In replays, they are often seen spinning out before corners due to lacking grip.

    When you choose a GT4 race car, these incidents vanish entirely. The AI-driven cars become remarkably stable. so gt3 gen12 and retro formula must be fix This definitely needs to be fixed; otherwise competitive racing is impossible.

    Man, I hope these GT1 changes wont affect the balance of the class too much... The class were very good balanced despite the historical inaccuracy...

    As far as I remember... the only disadvantage of Mercedes in the 1998 GT1 was fuel consumption.So... if Reiza can balance the pace of these cars in long stints... it seems to me a good win-win path between realism and class competitiveness in the AMS2.

    I can understand why it shouldnt be making too much of a performance cost, but I'm really noticing a fps hit with this setting. I'm not sure sure which other settings the fade affects, but have Track detail set to High and just now (on v1.6.5.2) without changing any other graphic setting other than LOD fade, when switched off I'm at my max fps setting of 118. Switched on however it starts constantly fluctuating somewhere between 100 - 110, into 90's at its lowest which I'd say is quite a noticeable drop. CPU usage remains about 30% so doesnt seem to be CPU that's affected.. ..this was on Watkins Glen, default date which was Autumn foliage.

    Luckily can't say I had ever had an issue with textures poping in in the first place so am happy leaving the setting off, just thought I'd mention as certainly on my set up it doesnt seem to be working so smoothly

    Speaking of an AI issue that has bothered me still, I hope you at Reiza will look into the Red Bull Ring corner 9 annoyance that has been issued. If you could fix Sebring then I sure believe you will fix the RBR!
