Hi Reiza team, I’d like to suggest some cars that I think would make a huge impact in Automobilista 2’s Endurance Pack series. These additions would not only reflect the current WEC Hypercar era, but also expand the GT grid with some iconic entries: Endurance Pack Pt. 1 Ferrari 499P (LMDh/LMH) – pending Ferrari license Toyota LMDh Ferrari GT3 Ferrari GT2 Endurance Pack Pt. 2 Nissan LMDh Peugeot 9X8 Adding Ferrari’s LMDh/LMH would be a landmark for AMS2, especially with Toyota alongside it to represent the top Hypercars. The Ferrari GT3 and GT2 would also bring even more variety and authenticity to GT racing in the sim. Then with Nissan and Peugeot in Part 2, AMS2 would offer one of the most complete endurance racing rosters out there. Thanks for considering this suggestion, and for your continued work in making AMS2 the most exciting and complete sim racing experience!
Believe me, Reiza has certainly tried everything imaginable to get Ferrari (and perhaps Toyota) on board. But as a company, you always have to weigh up whether it's still economically viable. And Ferrari and some other brands simply cost far too much money for it to be justifiable from an economic point of view. Of course, you should never give up hope, and I think everyone would be thrilled to have this license.
Ok for Ferrari, but Acura? It is very strange missing their LMDh since the IMSA license. I know that IMSA license doesn't include cars, but Reiza should consider their economic strategy about manufacturer licensing before choosing a championship like that, considering how important is Acura in IMSA, the most winning car after Porsche.
I do have a feeling that IMSA licence may have been obtained to open some previously closed doors to manufacturers, time will tell whether it worked or not (or even if my theory is correct or not!).
As discussed in many other topics, I think it's always great to leave feedback what we want to see, so Reiza can keep an eye on what the community wants. But of course licensing in racing is just very complex so we will have to see and wait what is possible. If you take a look in the Sherlock topic, it's safe to say Reiza is still expanding the Endruance lineup, so I'm really looking forward to what's next
