    You can enable for them to autoload in the Gameplay - Display - Autoload Car Setups ON/OFF. By default this is now set to off.

    I hope this can be done for the Classic layout as well in the future. :)

    It appears it is already done for the Classic layout. I was able to race with a total of 41 cars. So far so good.

    I like this update. Change a lot of graphics settings by itself, and maybe change something not right in my install after a ton of updates and I have better performance in VR.

    Keep doing strange things! Great update, as usual!

    Guys, forgive my ignorance, but what does this really mean? I use Google Translate, and honestly, I'm not understanding the translation very well.

    Replying here, as far as i'm aware those cars don't have wet weather tires on ovals, so it makes sense they aren't driving particularly great in the rain

    Okay, that's pretty much what I imagined. I can't wait to test it; Brazilian stock car racing is my favorite category! Thanks for the information, friend!

    Nascar on ovals does not even race in the rain. There has only ever been 1 race in the rain on an oval and that was on a short track with trucks. Every other time there is even just slight drizzle the session is red flagged immediately.

    It means the AI speeds will be normalized, so hopefully if you are at Strength level "X" for one series you will also be Strength level "X" for the others instead of each being faster or slower and requiring individual adjustment.

    After the update install, It changes itself a lot of graphics settings, like put 1.4 Supersampling, particles medium, etc. After revert to my settings, can go up Supersampling and have better overall performance.

    In the release notes I can't find changes in graphics, so I think this update update something that wasn't update right in some update, If it's make any sense (I believe not).

    YES you did it! I am so happy! Thank you!

    I am also glad that this issue could be fixed as I know it was a big deal for many:
    Other devs s**t out features that barely work like they don't even care while you guys always keep pushing and optimizing. Please never change, REIZA!
