You can set settings live on track if you have the controls mapped. It's recommended to have them set on a keyboard.

It is restricted to cockpit only though? Or anywhere on the car?

Are you adding more kart options? I know what's in the game is more along the lines of motorsport but what the common man has access to is a lot slower (but still feels fast). It would be nice to include those as a beginner class for karts.

Will there be any fictional ovals to compensate for the lack of ovals

Lack of ovals?
Daytona, Indianapolis and Texas Motor Speedway are already confirmed... I think most important Ovals are in the game already.
You really want more similar race tracks?

If there are, doesn't this mean that there is no lack of ovals?

I'm still holding out hope that IndyCar partnership pays dividends with more tracks. Iowa, Phoenix, Pocono and Gateway would be prime additions.

I think you're meaning that the IndyCar license won't mean all circuits in the game. However, it adds an option to allow for IndyCar circuits to be in. I assume that's the case for Texas and Long Beach at least.I can't find the post, but I know it has been said the Indycar license doesn't include tracks.

It would not include the tracks because IndyCar doesn't own the tracks. But that relationship could help grease the wheels.I can't find the post, but I know it has been said the Indycar license doesn't include tracks.
An example of this is NASCAR and F1: neither owns any of the racetracks/circuits where they race, but all the tracks are included in their official games. Since there is no official IndyCar game, this could be the best shot track owners could get.
Especially given how popular IndyCar is all of the sudden, track owners could see some opportunity here. The better Alonso runs on Sunday, the better it will be for IndyCar's popularity around the globe.

SMI and ISC own the majority of the tracks. SMI and ISC both own 2 tracks each that are already confirmed to be in PCARS2. Maybe they could work a deal with them to get all

Detroit
Iowa
Toronto
Mid-Ohio

I would rather just have quality tracks though with custom championship rather than start chasing series.

In fairness, we have had rumoured from both camps in terms of ovals already in terms of Bristol, Richmond, Charlotte and Dover.
Agreed. The Lausitzring and Rockingham would be prime examples of ovals that would be good for outside the US. Although as they're mainly in the US, it should be US centric.

I think they mean loads of US tracks I'm general.
Only really followed Indy for last couple of years vs 28 years of f1 and btcc, but must admit the excitement has got the better of me, hoping for some all over the world action!
P.s. why are Australian tracks a no go?
New pics look good!

Yep, I have seen Youtube vids of Bristol, Charlotte and Dover so you never know what they have planned.

I agree, I really like the "lesser known" tracks (at least from a racing game perspective) in PCARS1 like Zhuhai, Ruapuna, Brno, Rouen-Les-Essarts. But at the same time I also want the really "needed" tracks to be in the game as well (such as Le Mans, Spa, Nordschleife, Monza, ...). In that aspect I really welcome Indianapolis and Daytona even though I don't like ovals that much. I think the most "important" track we are now missing from American racing history is Sebring.
I'd personally love to see more tracks from the lesser popular continents and countries (from a racing game perspective) like southern America, Africa, Russia, Asia.
Go with that laser scanning drone on a safari please SMS! -)
Proper US tracks are fine (would love sebring/limerock/road atlanta etc.. to add to whats there already) - but I think ovals are snoozeville for the majority of players outside the US.
There will be some ovals and thats cool but better spend effort/time on stuff the majority want & will use.
It would be a missed opportunity imo for there to be 5 ovals no one has heard of outside the US when that could have been spent laser scanning Le Mans / adding custom championships etc...

The lack of official response had me worried, but maybe Laguna Seca hasn't been officially announced yet?@IanBell @The_American
I was wondering whether we'll get a lush, green version of Laguna Seca in pCARS 2 as one of the seasonal variants? It can look quite different in spring after prolonged rain to the normal dry lake dust bowl that most people know and love (and how it's been represented in most racing sims).
Just wanted to say as well that the dynamic lighting in pCARS still blows me away, especially at low sun angles. Having a 6am start at Laguna Seca with 10x time acceleration looks absolutely incredible. Most of the track is in shadow from the hill, then as the sun slowly rises small pockets of sunlight appear. It's incredibly atmospheric. Your lighting guys really did fantastic work in pCARS, and I can't wait to see what they come up with in pCARS 2, especially with the seasonal variations to the environments.
That introduced a whole new set of worries.
(There's now way LS is NOT in the game).

Hopefully not. I hate fictional tracks. So many real and historical tracks to make, why bother with Fiction. Some old Indycar tracks would be awesome!!!
