Several good hours of AMS2.

Yesterday and today spent most of the time hot lapping at Oulton Park Foster. Great track for hot lapping with say GT4 cars and or similar power cars or less. Kind of difficult to race at that track as maybe only 3 places to pass not counting the straight. Even ran the rally cars at that track. That was great and will do that combo with A.I. level set higher. Won easily, even with rear bumper knocked off and other damage. Reminded me of how fun Rally Lites were in PC2. I doubt if I purchase any other sims Xmas week. Might consider installing some AMS2 car and track mods instead.

Meanwhile, Reiza is stockpiling working bodies.

We are looking to expand our team with several opportunities opening up in various fronts; if you fit one of the positions listed in the link below and are looking for a fresh challenge in 2026 we would love to hear from you!

With the latest releases content and other game updates. Is the in race lap counter and position messed up for everyone.

Regardless still going to enjoy the game over the next several days.

Not much of a stock person any more. That went away when all the greats start retiring etc in late 90's early 2000's.

I haven't tried this latest update but before it there was a problem where the lap counter would not start on the first lap of the race. It would still show 0 so when the 2nd lap starts it goes to 1. It's always a lap behind. It messes me up if I forget to check if it starts correctly because I run 10 lap races and at the end of lap 9 on the counter the race is over. There used to be two lap counters. The main big number then a smaller one on top of the leaderboard on the right side. That smaller one was always accurate. I wish they would go back to that.

I am sure that it is a bug. Shows 99 for everything for lap counter, timer, position. For laps can used the lap record time counter for player car to know what lap. Then guess could use track map for player position.

There are some little things wish they would fix like pace car being counted in number of cars on track. Have gotten used to it, however find it annoying when I am sure it could be fixed.
 
Here's another one if you didn't get it. Are you on any Discord channels?
Cheers thanks again mate.
Yeah I'm on a few Discord channels and see you post there also, it's not somewhere that I go everyday though to be honest so here was the first time I had seen the Falcon conversion.

Merry Christmas 👍

I'm sure it is too. If I watch the big number right as I cross the line it will briefly show the correct number before going back to the incorrect one. It doesn't do it all of the time but it is a lot of the time.

Seems to be fixed now. Headed back on the track.
 
I have been doing mainly Kyalami yesterday and today (the first track). Have not used that track very much. I think it will become my favorite track. Perfect for GT3 and above. Faster cars then normally use.

Just did a race with Stock USA Gen 1 for the first time. I know I have said that I am not much over a stock car person. Ran the race with only fuel adjustments. WOW - the cars feel amazing, look great and have good stock liveries. I was really really impressed. This will be a must purchase if not already included as part of what have purchased in the past. That is all just after one 6 lap race. Despite the fact that had coolant leak, then lap or 2 later oil leak and then good bye motor.💯

I was also on the best track settings - guess that helped the cars feel so good.

It is not fixed. It happened twice tonight.

After this update none of the lights on my Fanatec V 2.5 Formula rim work. It's totally blank. I can still drive but there are no LED's or gear indicator.

I have very little recent experience with NASCAR. I guess Forza was the latest but I don't think they were that accurate of representation of those cars. So I wasn't expecting the AMS2 versions to be so insanely hard to drive. I don't do ovals so I was using them on road courses. Those cars do not like rumble strips. Even just running over them on no power made me spin out. But the AI had no problem so that pissed me off. They also have so much torque steer. I just couldn't get on the power like the AI could or I would spin out.

I drove Gen 1 at Watkins Glen short course, Gen 2 at Brands Hatch, and Gen 3 at Road Atlanta. I don't know how often I will go back to them.

The other stuff I drove I didn't really notice any difference in the physics.

UPDATE: The Universal Hub is blank too so this update has killed the LED's and lights on both of my Fanatec rims.

Enjoying the new DLC and finally got around to trying some mods.

Is there an update to Xela1's TCR mod that works with 1.6.9? I tried Xela1_V106_45liv_V16, but it's missing sound and cockpit view. Discord hasn't worked for me forever, so I hope someone might please DM a file link.

Thanks so much! I'm gonna have a drive now.

In the early days of AC Modding, I used to be able to follow discord invites and see channels as guest, but I haven't been able to do that for years. Ever since then when I click an invite and try to make an actual account, I'm either blocked on sign up or immediately after validation no matter the device or browser or IP. It's been a real pain trying to follow any game communities.
