Career Mode - Ideas and Suggestions

This would be less a career mode and more a 3rd or 4th mode, but considering Automoblista 2 is a "Celebration of Motorsports history", I would love to have a "The Track, Men, and Machines of Motorsports" section of the game celebrating special cars and famous drivers throughout the years.

Each section would be organized like a book with many different events evoking famous race from that car track or driver's past, and each event would unlock a short cutscene telling the story of its importance. It doesn't need to be a documentary, but maybe a 30-45 second long bit narrated by Jake from GPlaps about the importance of what your about to do next.

After you complete each book, you unlock a longer highlight video about the history of whatever it was, and maybe you unlock a steam achievement for doing so.

To give a example of what this would look like...

Spa

Chapter 1, 1970's
Event 1
The 1970's were a pivotal moment in Motorsports history, as safely became a ever increasing concern, and with speeds increasing, some tracks became too dangerous to hold races on. Spa-francorchamps was one such course and in 1969, the drivers of the Formula 1 World Championship staged a walkout, refusing to race on the Spa circuit until various safety improvements were made. In 1970's the racers returned to find their demands had been met, and they lined up once again to take on the 14 kilometer circuit for what would be the final time.

Event 2
After the Abandonment of Spa by Formula 1, Sports cars moved into fill the void. The 1000KM at Spa became one of the key races for the World Sportscar Championship hopeful's, and the races attracted brands like Porches, Chevrolet, and BMW to do battle on the long straights and sweeping curves of Belgium's home of speed.

Chapter 2 1980's-1990's
Event 3
Formula 1 would return to the woods of Belgium following a massive modernization project for the circuit. Now a purpose built racing circuit, Spa welcome in the era of the flat bottomed, turbo charged Formula 1 car.

Event 4
The only thing faster than Formula 1 to race at Spa was the monstrous Group C cars. The pentacle of Prototype Sports cars, these turbocharged behemoths could hit in excess of 200mph on the straights. Can you tame the beast?

And you get the idea. You go through each era of the track, showing what cars raced their, and also pointing out drivers of note. Also other books could focus on a driver or a car rather than a track, and you could follow their career throughout the years.

 

Liked that last post. Some may remember the excellent Need For Speed: Porsche Unleashed/2000 games. It had two career modes: one going through all Porsche's history, starting with the first 356, all the way until the then brand new 996 gen GT3 spec. AMS2 has enough stuff to pull off something similar, going through the ages of motorsport.

The other was not something that would interest me much, which was kind of a story mode of you progressing as a works Porsche driver. The story was delivered only through text, but it worked, showing that sometimes, less is more.
