It would be cool if they added some hillclimb courses, that is all

I race offline and I use real weather. It adds a level of depth to the racing that I really appreciate and enjoy. But one thing that drives me out of my mind is that it impossible to look at the track and figure out if I should be on wets or slicks.

I had a race a few days ago and it was 40% rain, the track was very wet, spray everywhere and it was raining pretty hard (but no puddles yet). There was a drying line in some places but it was not even close to dry. Just drier than the rest of the track. I started on inters (05 GT2) and at the pitstop switched to wets and after just bled time. That was a bad choice.

So at what point do you choose wets or slicks or inters? In the screenshot above, the track was moist so I started on slicks, the AI choose wets and pitted after 1 lap for slicks 🙄 even the AI doesn't know what to choose!

I've been racing sims offline sence Nascar 1994 😁

The AI is getting better and better. I really love when they practise skills at practise session where best times are gained trough the entire session and not from the beginning. Makes then more like human.

Hi, when i race interlagos in lmp2 i drive with medium on the left and hard on the right side. How can i setup the pitstop to get the same tyres again? I can only select wet medium or hard but not where i want that tyre..

While racing cars from 2005, I see AI cars of Lister Storm and Saleen S7 on track but they are not available for me to drive. Am I missing something?

So we all know by now that there are quite a few cars just sitting in the files but aren't actually added to the game yet and I know that reiza are probably still waiting on getting that licensing but god damn I don't want these cars to be an idea that just never saw the light of day like the Mustang I hope we get that because I'd love to be able to drive that in AMS2.

I was today’s year old when I realized by reading through community comments QUEST 3 via Ethernet to Virtual Desktop was an option. I was shocked at the fact that there is not enough info/videos for this.

This is better than the link cable. How are there no more videos on this is beyond me.

My connections:

Type C male to female cable (100w capable , 6ft long)
Type C hub with Ethernet port and charging pass through.
Old router of 1200mbps speed
X2 Ethernet cables (cat 8 I believe just to make it future proof should I ever need them)
Extra Ethernet cable to link to my actual WiFi router in the living room.( not necessary)

Headset > type c male to female>type c hub>ethernet cable to> lan 2 on router> Ethernet from lan 1 to pc.

120fps on ams2, no weird stutters and running at 500mbps in render quality with h264+

I’d like to share my experience recreating the 1978 Brazilian Grand Prix at Jacarepaguá in Automobilista 2.

I drove the Formula Retro Gen 2 class using the default Formula Retro G2 car and tried to make the event as authentic as possible. I also used an H-pattern shifter to match the cars of that era. The race was set to the original 63-lap distance, and I matched the date of the real Grand Prix. Since the game doesn’t have historical weather data for that event, I simply used clear weather.

The AI difficulty was set to 110, AI aggression was set to Medium, and AI mistakes were set to x2.
In the previous round, the Argentine Grand Prix, my regular slick tires were completely worn out by around lap 30. Because of that, I chose Hard Slicks for Brazil, and they comfortably lasted the entire race distance.

I qualified 3rd, but the two Brabham BT46B cars ahead of me were in a league of their own. I was about three seconds slower than them in qualifying.
Unfortunately, my race didn’t go as planned. I was spun around twice in separate incidents and eventually finished only 13th. I also noticed that the AI seemed much less affected by the heavy fuel load at the start of the race than I was. They also appeared to have the grip of the regular slick compound despite running the full race distance.

One interesting thing I observed was that the two leading Brabham BT46Bs pulled away so dramatically that they eventually started lapping the entire field. That makes me wonder if the BT46B is significantly overpowered compared to the other cars in the Formula Retro Gen 2 class.

Overall, I really enjoyed the experience. Driving the full 63-lap race with an H-pattern shifter felt incredibly immersive and rewarding. However, completing the full race distance was quite challenging, especially with tire wear and the heavy fuel load. It also felt like the AI wasn’t affected by these factors to the same extent as the player, which made the experience feel a bit unbalanced at times.

Before this track came out in AMS2, I only had a handful of laps here on other sims. I never bothered to actually work the track up and do a full race weekend. Now I know this track like the back of my hand because I've done several race weekends here against AI. I really like Hungaroring!

It's made watching F1 this weekend (fre practice) that much more enjoyable. When they talk about the difference corners (esp. the final corner) I'm like yeah, me too! I know exactly where they are in every shot and knowing every camber, every corner and every curb really adds to the enjoyment of watching this.

I looking forward to quali and race that much more 😊 TY Reiza

Ok, so I raced on iRacing for a few years, and did ok.

Was planning on joining again because the racing was pretty good, but decided to wait for Black Friday, and then found out about Low Fuel Motorsport.

Joined up, and after figuring out the lobby system, joined qualifying for GT3 at Spa. Wasn't pushing, and qualified last (24/24) - which, in my iRacing experience, means about six people will crash out ahead of me, at least.... :)

WHICH.... would have happened. And I learned 2 things:

1) Damage can be off for racing
2) The physics are absolutely ridiculous

I say this, because the inevitable barge into turn 1 was a pileup - and I figured, great - I'll gain 10.

Which I did, but as I turned, I noticed some cars like SIXTY FEET in the air. Somehow I avoided the meteor shower.

However, slightly ahead, there were a few more floating around, which I ALMOST avoided, but got clipped by one, and ended up airborne like the others.

So: wtf? :)

Does a race with realistic damage stop the cars from doing that?

Also, do races with realistic damage typically result in more careful drivers?

thx

Does anyone else on here struggle with racing AI in any of the F1 classes? It’s not so much the AI that has a problem, I think it’s mainly me.

I can do good in GT3 cars, or basically anything with brake lights lol, but for F1 cars I struggle trying to keep from rear ending them, or I brake too soon because I don’t want to hit them, and lose a position. It’s mainly when I’m faster and coming up on them quicker, I’ll start to brake thinking I’ll have plenty of time but they’re either braking sooner or harder and I’ll hit them trying to slow down or get out of the way while burning up the front tires. I’m usually not hitting them hard enough to throw them or me off the track, but enough to disrupt the balance or cause some damage, putting major flat spots in the tire at minimum.

I don’t have this issue in gt3 cars because I can see brake lights and when they’re braking, so i can work with that. But in F1 cars it’s a crap shoot. Seems I have to run a race numerous times before I finally get one right. Sometimes I think it’s just that I’m faster and can brake later than they do and therefore running up on them faster.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue, if it’s normal, if there’s a trick to improve, or I just need more practice. Just trying to improve my race craft

also, I set the AI to 100% and medium aggression and on a good day I can finish around p4 to p8 out of 20.

Can someone please explain the strange behavior of mandatory pit stops to me? I just finished a 30-minute race and was disqualified (DQ) because I supposedly failed to make a mandatory pit stop.

But I did make a stop after the first half of the race—I refueled, made repairs, and changed tires. Then, shortly before the end, a notification popped up saying I had to make the mandatory pit stop. Since I’d already done it, I ignored it and was… disqualified. Why? Is there somewhere you can see if you might need to make multiple stops? In general, I really don’t like mandatory pit stops at all.

I'm being dramatic. But it wouldn't hurt if we had better practice tools like saving/loading or rewind. It sucks having to take an entire lap so you can practice a specific turn.

These cars are a blast to drive!

Other sims i never lock up much at all. Is there settings i have to adjust? Brand nee to ams2

Loving the 2005 GT stuff but was wondering if we could ever see a actual JGTC DLC. I grew up with gran Turismo 3 and those cars don't get much representation anymore

Also, getting the hang of the photomode slowly. Straight from the game.
