    WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?
    I'm glad to bring back For the Win and my other mods back.
    Also I want to talk about what happened.

    Three months ago life was so hard on me, and eventually I entered a depressive state.
    In a depressive episode, I excluded everything in frustration about my life.
    Not only my mods and not only from Race Department(now Overtake.gg), but from my PC too, alongside other projects I spent months working.
    Also deleted the Discord channel focused on For the Win.

    Thankfully some of these projects was on my github, so I brought it back to my PC.

    About my mods, I made some changes in For the Win and MegaRandom instead of just bring it back. It's not major changes, but it is something.

    I also updated the liveries of my Fantasy F1 2026 Skinpack, for the new Formula Ultimate Gen 2 model.

    This app will not have major changes anymore, just small updates following new contents from Reiza for Automobilista 2.

    And for those that were part of the Discord channel, I did not forgot about the plans of
    the sequel: For the Win 2 - Road to Glory.


    I still want to developed the sequel, but I can't guarantee I will.
    The reason is I don't have the notes about everything planned, so if I
    decide to continue developing FTW 2, it will not be like as planned on Discord.
    Also, I'm still too busy right now focusing on surviving Brazilian life.

    I'll do my best to start FTW 2 from scratch, but again, no guarantees.

    Well, everything is fine with me now. I'm sorry about what happened. I wasn't myself.
