Ok, now that all of rF2's issues are fixed with the UI, what about?

    A REAL simulator, it would tie in with programs like American Truck Simulator where truck drivers would have to be found to transport the car to the track by a certain date.(probably all online for verification purposes) So if I want to race at a league race in Florida, I have to find an American Truck Simulator driver who can truck my car from North Idaho to Daytona, without breaking speed laws or driver time per day limits. Not a big issue with a month between events, but when the season gets in full swing, you'll only have a few days to reach the new track.
    We could later add hooks for garage mechanic simulators even pit-crew simulators....Imagine if your car was heavily damaged one week, could you get it repaired and trucked to the new location in time?

    I only have one question - why not in the wish list section? :D

    VR users must wish they could hang out at the track, walk to their garage and drive out. Drive a normal car to the track. Heck, wake up Driver style and check for messages before leaving the hotel.


    But seriously, these days... just make the CS work for everyone without being confusing, make the car behaviour good enough that people can't pick it apart via videos, and allow proper support for a range of modern and historic car types and series regulations. And add more physics elements. And better weather effects and configuration. And good Safety Car code. And better AI. And....


    Yeah, these grand ideas will never happen ;)

    It would depend if the suppliers could ship the parts in time due to shortages, and if the garage crew were fully staffed with no one in isolation (I assume there would be pandemics). This is of course if the sponsors cheque dosn't bounce first.

    Silverstone with masked crowd? That would be completly unrealistic. We need a syncronisation with the Covid19 regulations of each country in real time.

    Would need that AI selector to choose the cars that go on the transport. :D

    I would be happy with a V6 cockpit adjustable turbo/rollbars upgrade for the Formula Pro for now while they hopefully come up with a hybrid system though :p

    Rollbars yes, but the engine is not turbo-ized.

    Oh I know, but if there was a v6 turbo upgrade for it I could use some more buttons on my steering wheel :D.

    It would be fine with a V6 turbo for me. I don't necessarily care that it is a true hybrid but if it had a cockpit adjustable turbo it would be a fine compromise for me. Any modders know if something like this be possible?

    Either way, let's get some sparks in here :p:D

    There are many cars with in-car turbo boost. Just NOT the FPro.

    I’m still waiting for my wages and sponsorship money to come through for all the inspired driving I’ve done over the years….
