    Since there is no "help" with car setup for each settings (like in PC2 or ACC), can someone tell me low or high values will make the car faster for Air restrictor and Radiator opening. I'm testing on the track, but it's not clear if it's placebo...

    Why is this forum doesn't allow upload of images? If I paste a URL for my image, it works in preview, but on the board, it's just red X... What's going on?

    The more the radiator cooling is open (higher percentage) the more the engine will be cooled however this can introduce more drag therefore you could be slower. Typically in qualy you could tighten this up and open it up for race trim or when there are high ambient temperatures.

    A restrictor plate is placed between the inlet manifold and the carburetor
    to reduce the flow of air and fuel into the engine's combustion chamber, thus reducing horsepower and speed. In AMS2 the lower the number the less horsepower you will have. Restrictor plates are used in series like Nascar.

    Thank you!!! I wish those type of explanation would pop-up when hovering above or selecting the settings, so we know exactly what increasing or decreasing does, like in iRacing...
