    To drive to the shops? No thanks.

    Just had a thought, dunno if this has been mentioned before but, will we be seeing the Metalmoro MR18 from AMS1 & The Reiza Pack for RF2 at any point in AMS2?

    A collaboration between Panoz and Zytek created one of the earliest hybrid race cars that competed in competition. The Zytek-built magnet DC motor helped the 6 liter Ford V8 during acceleration and with regenerative braking charged the batteries located in passenger seat area of the Q9.

    The Q9 or "Sparky" was then entered to run in the 1998 24 hours of Le Mans. The lack of testing time and the weight of the hybrid system itself resulted the car not qualifying for the event by a small margin. Later that year, "Sparky" did race in the inaugural Petit Le Mans where the car finished 12th overall.

    Yep! If you bought the full pack. There were two seperate car and track packs aswell so it would come in the car pack, also you could buy it as a standalone car

    Sometime in 1900:

    Bloke 1: Have you heard about the horseless carriage that Karl Benz made a few years back?

    Bloke 2: It will never be better than horse power, what do you do if you run out of fuel and there is nowhere to buy it nearby, imagine all the roads that will have to be built or improved. Impossible, those things will never catch on!

    Yes sorry, for some reason I read the question as "What, was it in the pack", so I did'nt answer appropriately. Nice one Troodon!

    Quotes from @Renato Simioni on the S397 forums:

    From July:
    "We are long overdue for an update on the update for the Reiza rF2 Bundle - firstly I´d like to apologise for this delay and let everyone know we´re still pushing hard to fit this in the schedule as soon as possible - we´ve been somewhat unfortunate with timing as it wouldn´t have been time-effective to tackle the rF2 content while the new rF2 features were still in development, and now that they are stable we really have our hands full with AMS2.

    We are eager to get back to it however and make use of the great progress rF2 has seen since our last update, but realistically it may still take a couple of months before we have window for it, and another month to get the work done - but we will get to it"

    From Saturday (in reply to a query about when this may happen):
    "I guess apologies are in order for blowing that time estimate.. Sorry folks, we are scrambing for more manpower to try get this covered, if there are any rF2 modders willing to do some freelance work with us in the Pack to try speed this up please hit me with a PM.

    Sao Paulo 2013 was based on our old Interlagos model supplied to ISI back in the day, but it´s not our project - it´s up to S397 if they wish to update it."

    That "small margin" was about 10 seconds, but would be really cool to see this car along with its normal variant for sure.

    I think not, I think RF2 is pretty safe for the moment

    That would be such a cool car to have in the game. Truly ahead of its time

    100%. Fanboost can go away. Attack mode is tons of fun (and way more strategic than DRS or other similar boost methods). And agree the touring car style driving (wheel to wheel where a little contact is a-ok and almost encouraged) is super exciting. While it is mostly spec, it's till 100% one of the most competitive series (for any driver on the grid to have a chance) out there, next to IndyCar.

    Exactly this. Also for those who don't know, Formula E cars don't start the race with enough energy to finish it... they need those heavy braking zones (tight chicanes and hairpins) because of this. So for "real" courses to work, they'd have to be extremely picky to where they run, or make temporary modifications like when they ran at Valencia. The tracks have got better since the early seasons, but will only improve over time as the technology allows it... also the Gen3 car being smaller and faster will be super exciting, even on the signature tight courses.

    Isn't some sort of charging system being introduced as well? I remember hearing something about that but that could've been them talking about goals for the Gen 4 car or something
