The names of the Formula cars are always confusing.

    Hi all!
    Why don’t you standardize the naming?
    For example: Formula Reiza 1988, Formula Reiza 1990, Formula Reiza 1991...
    It would be much better for everyone, as we would clearly know which year each car represents, and it would also avoid any issues with real-world naming rights.

    Thanks!

    My personal take on this is that the year model of each car should be shown in its information screen, but I think possibly adding for the approximate year of each 'era' of car (mostly the Formula classes) would indeed be useful.

    So, for example off-hand is the Formula Retro Gen3 could be Formula Retro 1983 or Formula Retro Gen3 (1983)

    As someone who is obsessed with doing things chronologically (e.g., it doesn't make sense to race in Gen1 V10 before I've completed a season in Edge) I would love not to have to refer to online sources to know which year each series is :)

    Tip: When picking the car class, filter by "Formula" cars (from "All", click the filter 6 times). That will list the formula classes chronologically instead of alphabetically.
    (this comment is for AMS2 version 1.6, the behavior may change in the future)

    100% this.
    I know the naming makes sense to someone, im just unsure of who.




    (Mods, I hope this isn't disrespectful) :confused:
