      My request would be some sort of lower powered open wheel car that’s available in AC. Old Lotus. F4/F3/skippy something like that.

      Tracks? I’m partial to Brand’s Hatch GP; Monza; Red Bull Ring, Imola, Laguna Seca, Monaco; Akina Downhill.

      I love those old open-wheel H pattern cars even though I’m terrible…

      Something like a Lotus Type 49 or Ferrari 312/67 on some period track.

      Automobilista2 or AC are my preferred road sims. I think they both have that era car/track combo but the Automobilista2 ones might be DLC, not sure. So I suppose AC might be more accessible to more people.

        I just picked up AMS2 on steam sale but haven’t installed it. Is there a lot of content included or is it a bunch of DLC? I got it because I’ve heard the VR in it is beautiful.

          Unfortunately looking at what I bought last year it was quite a lot of DLC content since I purchased the “2020-2022 season pass” at the same time as the game. It’s hard to tell what the content would look like without that since it’s all mixed together in game.

          I usually try to buy whatever bundle passes are available when I buy a game. This was unfortunately quite expensive in AMS2’s case, but I didn’t feel like nitpicking every purchase. That’s obviously a personal choice though.

          The game is otherwise great. I don’t use VR, but I have also heard it’s pretty much the best modern option for that.
