    Welcome to round 3!
    Make sure to restart STEAM for the latest 1.6.8 update and hot fixes!

    Key notes for round 3 and the 1.6.8 update:
    By default, AMS2 V1.6.8 disables the autoloading of both user-made and autosaved setups when loading a new event; this means that car setups will be always reverted to their factory defaults when you load a new track (you can still manually load your saved setups from the setup screen).
    Autoloading has been at the root of a few long-standing bugs (such as some setup variables occasionally loading incorrectly or lingering on from a previously selected car into a new event, sometimes without the user even realizing it); this creates obvious problems for which definitive fixes on what is a particularly convoluted area of the codebase are still proving elusive. The alternative solution for the time being has been to disable the function altogether so user always is ensured the car is reset to its original factory state upon session load - this also dispenses with the need to reset setup whenever a car receives a setup-impacting physics update.

    Users willing to risk the occasional hiccup in the autoloading system in order to keep its convenience will find an option to switch it back on from the Gameplay menu.
    Also:
    PHYSICS
    Revised vintage all-weather tire treads
    Revised BMW 2002 Turbo & Corvette C3 physics
    So you might notice a change in the cars behavior;)

    This is one of the most unpleasant cars I have ever seen in sim racing, but for some reason the organizers really like to choose it. Right now there is a championship going on in the Russian community, the races are at the same time and I had to choose. :)

    I the point, car is not really consistent but still ok, I had definitely worse.
    The update made it more difficult for me, first I had to wait until it is installed and then it felt a bit different than last time. Had a good battle with Martyn and Roman but one spun out and the other drove away. I was on my own but with three track limit strikes.
    Made a small mistake in the last lap and got a 21 sec penalty *doh* :oops: Dumb mistake.

    Congrats to the podium.
    I had the exact same car back in 1980 and it was a nice handling and stable car to drive, nothing like this one which seems so unstable. It feels like its on a wet track with slicks.
    2 spins, no penalties and finish 5th was all I could manage.....:)

    One thing we wanted for this was to have a driver vrs driver series where setup is not the difference, single make, all cars equal ect..
    We are happy to hear from you all on what car's you would like for the next Monday Night racing series (3 rounds left for this one):)

    I've never driven it and may not get to. I'm having an issue with AMS2 seeing my Fanatec Wheel and Pedals.:confused: Did a full re-install and still nada. RF2 works just fine. Hopefully I'll get it sorted before the next round.

    Sorry to leave before Q.
    My brake was spiking heavily, got stuck for 1-2 secs in every other corner.
    I tried putting brake to clutch pedal. I tell you, that wasnt fun trying to hit it without resistance on pedal :(

    Good start and ran second for a few laps. Just a tiny error on coppice sent spinning on to the grass then started that driving in circles on the grass thing. By the time I got back on the track I was just about last and my concentration was shot to hell. More mistakes led to last place.
    The new update has made this car a real handful but I still like it.
    Hopefully get some points next time
    Was a good chase Philip ...almost held you off.
    Congrats to the podium
    Time for LMU practice
