Hopefully an old school F1 car on a modern classic track is a little more popular haha!

      I really should run a poll to see how many people run the different sims. I’ve never tried AMS1/2, but I always hear good things about it.

        I just find it the easiest sim to just get in and drive haha, the tyre update fixed things massively as well. Unfortunately only a handful of cars have that update for now

        It would be interesting to see what sims most people drive. I seemingly switch around between AC, ACC, AMS2. I just refuse to pay for iRacing things.

          If I raced 3 or 4 times a week, then I’d pay for iracing for sure. It has all. The content I’d want to keep me entertained.

          As a dad with a full time job and a family who apparently want to see me regularly, I’m lucky to hit the track once or twice a week.

            Haha gotta spend time with the family!

            I’ve only been averaging maybe an hour a week myself lately, a far cry from the 20hr+ sim racing weeks I put in during my younger days.

            Just enjoy it when you can I guess!

          I actually mentioned this as the main reason I like AMS2 in my steam review of the game. Like, seriously why does it seem like it’s so hard to make a game where you can start it, pick a car and track, and drive. I don’t wanna click through 100 menus and watch flybys of all the badly animated spectators, I just want to drive… (Looking at you… Dirt Rally 2.0)

            So true, I think my worst experience has been rFactor 2. It seemingly took ages to get all the tracks and cars I wanted as well as VR setup.

            A huge shame too because i really liked the feel of driving in rFactor 2. I might give it another go this weekend now that I have a decent GPU.
