WromComms Episode 14: Automobilista 2 Le Mans and the Endurance Trend in Sim Racing

Fanatec.. Yes. They realy need a new ceo, who actually knows how to run and operate a big production and marketing/sales organization as Fanatec now is. I had a dd1 for 4 years now. Loved it. But i wanted some other wheel.. I had the formula v2 w advanced paddles, Porsche endurance and the mclaren wheel. Only used the Mclaren.. I just sold all fanatec now, bought simagic alpha ultimate. And the awsome fx pro wheel. Man... I was flabbergasted! The quality feel of this kit is way beyond fanatec. The formula v2 was the best quality wheel from fanatec. But 27 cm. Too small... Why havnt fanatec managed to make a new wheel? They spent 3 years to get out a Quick release. Unnthe meantime the competitors made at least 20 different base, 100 wheels, lots of gearsticks and handbreaks and more.. Fanatec.. Qr2...

My point exactly. No considerable new products, sleeping on their laurels.

Any of the mid late 90s PLAYER’S schemes from CART. Super simple but great colors with the light blue and white with the gold highlights. Also the 1997 Jordan F1. The way they used the drop post for the wing to have the snakes fang on it, as well as having the tongue go down the side and top of the car.

The Jordan can be seen here: www.themotormuseuminminiature.co.uk/1997-jordan-197.php Great choice BTW. Could not find any fitting CART images, surprisingly.

Some deep cuts (at least in my eyes), I like it!

[@scottcrawford4655]

I tried to post some photos but they kept vanishing. Just look up “Greg Moore Players car”. You’ll get the general idea

Why are all these publishers fighting over the same community with endurance Sims? This leaves a huge door open for AC Evo with vintage racing.

[@WromWrom]

Maybe all for the same reason, maybe they have different reasons. As we three own all three of them, we'll get to compare... ...and report accordingly :-)

[@kevinhadj82]

Ahaha "endurance" and here they are proposing multiplayer events mostly composed of 20 minutes sprints and no mid-session save for offline play. Laughable how they get their priorities wrong...

[@cody_swanson]

​@@kevinhadj82They're seeing "endurance" as multiclass racing with a certain set of cars, and it is, but it should be more than that too and that aspect seems to be a real blind spot for some sims.
