    Looking forwards to the new update and content!

    Are we going to finally get AIs that use different tyre compounds and tyre strategies in Formula cars? Not just the softest available all day every day? :p

    I'm reading since 3 years or so. Just registered to say thank you to reiza! Great work, AMS2 is my all-time favourite.

    Maybe the update arrives on my birthday which is 23rd December

    Thank you, Reiza, for this new content and for the continued development of the game, one of my all-time favorite sims. I can't wait to use the career in 2026. Merry Christmas to the whole team.

    You might be right! Went to another sim and there just happens to be a few trees behind a billboard... I don't know of any other oval that has an obscene amount of trees on the outside walls.

    Thanks for the 3 generation Nascar update. Should be a lot of fun. Is there a modern Mustang in the mix? The new Mustang and Camaro would makea nice Super V8 ( Supercars) upgrade too.

    Big respect to Reiza for releasing these cars.

    So tired of the "mainstream", over-weight, over-gripped, under-powered, traction control ridden, ABS ridden, modern day GT cars - some of the most bland driving & sounding racecars in human history.

    Seasons greetings all. Another year of improvement and I'd like to express my appreciation to team Reiza!

    Particularly interested to see if a yellow flag appears for the inevitable turn one chaos at Monza. Or if I see one at all, in the 5 years or so since release I have seen one double yellow (offline) in a silly amount of hours racing in AMS2. Also if the AI will indeed take the opportunity under braking that they so often pull out of. Very nice to see the American bonus content at last. Physics refinements, particularly tyre wear (if the AI are aware) are always welcome. AMS2 has come a long way!

    Now if only you can sort out the blue flag slowdowns by the AI, particularly on corner exit and straights. Maybe the skill should be lapping_traffic rather than blue_flag_conceding, so the priority is the overtake, not the slowing down! Or perhaps even the option to disable blue flags entirely, they didn't exist in some seasons represented by the classic and retro F1! :D

    Will bump draft be a viable strategy to use with the stock cars on ovals? I mean, the physics are able to accommodate this action, without spinning the car in front and giving it some kind of speed boost?

    Have to add that it should only be a properly viable tactic for the Gen 3 (NextGen) cars since in the other two eras that are available, drivers did not do any bump drafting.
    EDIT: Gen 1 representing the 80's did not have a restrictor plate and the best tactic was drafting and then using the slingshot move.
    Gen 2 being the 90's had an aero package and car shapes that also did not require anyone to bump draft and even with the restrictor plate in place slingshot moves were the best way to drive, never any need for bump drafting.

    AMS2 is like a fine wine! It just keeps getting better. I do enjoy driving something else occasionally. The street cars are handfull to drive compared to the race cars, so I appreciate them. Would be nice to get a Australian Supercars update in the future. Wishing you all a great holiday and keep up the great work!

    Agreed, can't wait to test out the new tire updates.
    Also, IMHO this game already has plenty of cars, I would love to see more tracks than cars for this game. IMHO, cars are an optional thing people may or may not buy based on their personal preference but tracks are something everyone will buy. So many great tracks could be added eg:
    Mid Ohio, Big Willow, Sonoma just to name a few.
