Automobilista 2 May 2024 Development Update - The Road to V1.6 Pt1

It'll likely be tomorrow! I will be camping out overnight. This is my kind of endurance racing!

Oh, and welcome to the forums!

 

Like the rest of you, I’m very excited for the next update and 1.6 update. I’m just in love with this game!

 

That covers it for Pt1! There is a lot more for us to go over before V1.6 is due for release, but those will be topics for Pt2 at some point in late June
that was in, May 31, 2024.
and Sunday is now the end of June, I bet part 2 will arrive on Sunday June 30th

 

I bet next week

 

Tomorrow

 

Well, theoretically "Sunday" is next week, so we would both be right!

 

so two weeks?

 

Nothing says it would be Part 2 of 2, maybe it's Part 2 of 5 and the release is planned for October

 

Well depends on who you ask. I see Sunday as the last day of the week

 

You have your own calendar system separate from the rest of us?

 

Almost all countries in North and South America start their week on Sunday. Countries in Europe and Oceania overwhelmingly start on Monday. The world’s most populated continents are split: roughly half the countries in Africa and Asia are on team Sunday, the other on team Monday. See it on a world map

According to international standard ISO 8601, Monday is the first day of the week. It is followed by Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Sunday is the 7th and last day of the week.

Although this is the international standard, several countries, including the United States and Canada, consider Sunday as the start of the week.

 

Fortunately, worldwide team Reiza never sleeps and there seems to be activity and the possibility for communication or updates any day of the year

 

Be right back, manifesting some international communications at whatever time is the most convenient globally

 

There is an ISO for what the first day of the week is? WTF, I have heard everything now.

 

There’s probably an ISO for everything, even when you can call something breakfast

 

Part 1 was announced on a Friday

 

So many sentences start this way!

 

If Ferrari decides to race the 499P in IMSA it will surely be through Risi Competizione. They got entrusted with every car Ferrari (or Maserati when they were under the same ownership) decided to race un US (semi-)officially in the recent past.
Trouble is Coletta just said there is no plan for the 499P in IMSA for 2025.
I think part of it is about politics (or it least is according to some motorsport magazines). The last appearances this side of the pond didn't find a good reception in terms of BOP and application of regulations and to send a car this side they will want guarantees it is not unreasonably killed the way it happened with the last attempts (296 included).

 

I may have got my competiziones confused, so thank you for the clarification!

 

This is right. Although it hasn't been said publicly and there was this big "announcement" about how IMSA welcome LMDh and LMH cars, IMSA has insinuated behind closed doors that they do not really want LMH cars in their series. For a few different reasons. The politics of the cars and the BoP, performance, adds a whole new dichotomy to the series. Just like DPi was a single set of rules series, they don't want to split up the LMDh single set of rules. The manufactures and teams that have already been running IMSA had some scoff too.

According to the rules proposed though, LMH is eligible, But it's like trying to sit at the cool kids table in grade school. Not impossible but also not easy. Personally I think it would make for good racing, I think some aspects of IMSA include laziness and a longing for tradition.
