Low fuel motorsports -very very good

Just back to AMS2 & discovered Low Fuel Motorsports -a scheduled ranked organised online system for AMS2 very very much needed

surprised it’s not more popular

maybe the devs should add a few buttons in the main UI as many users perhaps no nothing about it

 

I can only agree that LFM is what Automobilista 2 or any other racing game needs. Since I have discovered Daily Races there (not long ago, to be honest), I do not touch single player or even looking for multiplayer trough the game anymore. LFM is everything I need.

There is a banner on the right side of this page, but LFM should be advertised even more or mentioned by Reiza on social medias more often.

 

I think Low Fuel Motorsport is a solid service overall, but its focus feels too narrow for me. Nearly every daily series features only modern GTs or prototypes, while the older cars I’m excited about—GT1, Procar and the like—appear just once a week. That’s obviously my scheduling and preference problem, yet it ultimately pushed me to cancel my subscription. To me, it highlights that official platforms such as LFM mainly serve people who prefer modern race machinery (which understandably has broader mass appeal). Unsurprisingly, the grids for the few classic-car races that do exist are pretty thin, making it even less enticing to stick around.

 

Agreed
I don’t like gt3 cars , I only really do open top
I don’t see the ad banners , ams2 devs should help promote LFM is LFM is promoting ams2 by including it in their service
If there’s a series or track in the LFM schedule that I’m interested in I’ll buy it just to compete

Reiza are missing a trick

 

I can see it on the right side.

 

Not sure is this what F_B means, but how I read it, its just straight up wrong. GT1 and M1 procar runs 3x week 2 sessions a day. Group C race being once a week on saturdays.

 

Ideally there could be a way to see what races are currently going on in LFM ingame, that would make it easier for everybody to see that there's a community there waiting to race

 

Arh yes I see it now
Those banners are always way to busy to convey a message , LFM one is just like a blob of red at side of the page

 

Yep, my bad. Had a look at the schedule again:

Procar actually runs three times a day—but only every other day. Why not make an exception on weekends, when most of us finally have free time, and add a few more slots? As it stands, the timetable feels needlessly thin.

GT1 is the same story: three races per day, also on a two-day cycle. The next race is tomorrow morning, but again, nothing on saturday. Seems odd when saturday is prime sim-racing time for a lot of people.

Group C? One race a week, every saturday. Honestly, that’s a joke. I admit I’m a nerd for these machines, but I can’t be the only one who’d run them if they were offered more often.

All of this just confirms that LFM isn’t a great fit for someone like me who’s into the older cars. I don’t have the time to block out specific slots days in advance—I want to jump in when I’m free. Modern GTs and prototypes just don’t give me the same thrill the classics do, so the current schedule leaves me on the sidelines more often than not.

 

Amazed that ams2 is geared towards single player

LFM is its saviour it seems

 

I got a chance to help with planning for this season and trust me, it’s not straightforward as it sounds. You can offer endless options, but if those don’t get players, then those aren’t actually options at all. Unfortunately older cars and historic content is more niche and those races struggle to fill the grids. Please do join, it helps with the issue as the more sign up there is, the more interest it brings to those races.

Btw You can think once a week race as a league race …

 

I think that's spot on. If 20 people think that there isn't enough people so they don't sign up it'll just never take off.
Every series, league needs to start somewhere - beginnings may be small but it'll grow race by race if people will simply stick to it initially.

 

I've been using LFM for years and it's a great service, I dissagree with some options for races and the website could use some work but they provide something that not every sim has the chance to implement natively for free, so if people can join, IMO they should.

 

To move the debate from Bug Reports - Automobilista 2 (Read the Opening Post) in this topic.

I joined Guapore F-Trainer race this morning at 6AM CET (race 228297) and experienced the same behaviour. I had a problem with only one guy, who blocked me first, after he drove on the grass and I overtook him, he hit me from behind and pushed me from the track. He is a lousy driver, so I won at he end, but somehow he get +0.52 SR points from this race while I lost 0.04 SR points. No biggy, since I am B1, but anyway. I never report for racing mistakes that anyone can do, but intentionally wrecking I will report for sure.

 

sr is counted roughly based on incident points / dnf (negative sr) and for each corner you are able to do without cutting/off track (positive sr).

 

Yep, I agree. But for the incident where he hit me from behind in braking zone, I would expect at least the same + or - SR ratio at the end of the game for both, bc game does not know who hit who. At the same race with the same number of corners we drove and he even went off the track once by himself (I did no other mistake, cut the track or similar), he gained SR for 0.52 and I lost for 0.04.

Of course, it is not about LFM, maybe the game s net code has to do something with it.

 

If It works like Iracing, the higher your license the more you are penalized for each incident

 

I am not ranting or want to prove how right I am. I will explain the situation just once more.

Guy hit me from behind in the braking zone and it was recognised the way I get 4 hit points, which are the base for penalty points. It is OK, game does not know who hit who. But for him, the hit was recognised with 0 hit points, like it has never happened.
It is not a matter of penalty, it is a matter of hit points, how the game recognised collision only in my case (in a role of the "victim") and ignored in his case.

I ve just expressed my doubts and I am finishing with this topic at this point.

 

probably desync related collision or something like that

 

Nop. Intentional try to push me out of the track.
