Any new plans for completely new tracks

I don't understand why we don't have COTA yet.

 

There really are any number of factors. Firstly, having a license to use the track in the game - and then it needs to be laser scanned (or a scan acquired) and then modeled, textured, etc, followed by testing, bug-checking, etc. It's certainly not a 5-minute process.

Would be interesting if tracks like COTA and BRNO could be licensed and how easily they could be imported from PC2 (if that's a possibility) though. I'm sure updates would need to be done but I imagine it would cut some time compared to modeling and texturing from scratch.

 

Le Castellet Historic would be nice, cause it had gravel and sand beside the track instead of tarmac with those ugly blue lines.

 

"Firstly, having a license to use the track in the game"

Therein lies the problem. Strange twist of the law to require a license to reproduce a track that's open to the public, when US law acknowledges the right to publish an image of anything they can see from a place they have the right to go.

 

We have "Kansai" in Ams 2, as they obviously have no license for Suzuka. But who cares bout the name itself, as long as the track is there in game?
And there are tons of tracks in Europe, where the "big" series do not race anymore. So, why just not ask those circuits? Licenses would not be too expensive. Problem: Reiza is a brazilian enterprise and Europe is far away. Above that, nobody ever made laser scanned data of tracks like Dijon or Magny Cours for racing titles. So, beside any legal problems, Reiza had to collect the needful data on their costs.
In the end, it is just about money.

There is one track, which is in almost every racing title, no matter if it's a sim or rather arcade:
Spielberg! Cause they take it as advertisment for Red Bull and obviously do not care too much about what they get for.Every game has their license.

 

OMFG, its actually there. I'm so happy rn lol. Thats my favourite track in the world and i could almost scream

 

Just looked up what's going on in Brazilian Formula Vee and this is apparenty the (only) circuit that was used this year: ECPA.
Don't know if there is any chance this track will be added to the game, seems that the focus is not on Reiza's home country at the moment.

[edit]Actually this doesn't appear to be true, the (main?) championship Campeonato Paulista is raced at Interlagos and Velocitta, but these are already included in AMS 2: Home[/edit]

 

Now that's some incredible news. Not only it's a wonderful track for almost anything, but if it comes with a late 80s layout it will be another major step for the complete Senna simulator experience.

=====================================================================

2025 has been an incredible year for Brazilian motorsports. Many tracks have been repaired, reopened or debuted this year.

Cuiabá, Matto Grosso, it's the newest one. We had night races for both Stock Car Brazil and NASCAR Brasil.

Autódromo Nelson Piquet, Brasília. It has been closed for more than 10 years a reopened last month. It has received massive improvements.

...Also Potenza is pretty recent, and seems a very enjoyable track with pictoresque surroundings

 

Was it? I can't see it.

(not sure if we're supposed to discuss file investigations on here or not or I'd say more!)

Also, there's another good surprise at the letter P.

 

Don't have this folder. Anyway it doesn't matter. I've seen plenty of things in the files which make me very excited for the near future of this game!

 

New guy here. I would like to add Barbers Motorsport in Alabama to the mix, it’s a local one for me. Been there a few times to watch Indy and a GT3/GT4 races. Barbers reminds me of a golf course but with racing. Awesome scenery, well kept lawns, some elevational changes, a few straights, some longer sweeping turns, a good mix in my opinion. I am biased but I do believe people would enjoy it as much as I do. The graphics and clarity of AMS2 would really make this track stand out, especially in VR. But yeah, just wanted to throw that one out there for consideration.

 

Wasn't there an attempt to run the Brazilian F1 Gp there? In the 80's, I think.

 

Apparently the Brazilian GP ran there from 78 to 89

 

It wasnt Jacarepagua ?

 

“The Autódromo Internacional Nelson Piquet(Nelson Piquet International Racetrack), also known as Jacarepaguá after the neighbourhood in which it was located, and also as the Autódromo Riocentro, was a motorsport circuit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Opened in January 1978, a few weeks before the 1978 Brazilian Grand Prix, it hosted the Formula OneBrazilian Grand Prix on ten occasions, and was also used for CART, motorcycle racing and stock car racing. In 2012, it was demolished to make way for facilities to be used at the 2016 Summer Olympics.”

 

The author was talking about Brasilia, not Jacarepagua. So your previous answer was incorrect.

 

I couldn’t find information about Brasilia being named after Piquet

 

There is some information about it on wikipedia page of Autodromo Internacional de Brasilia.
