Hi,
thanks for answering this high amount of questions. I have 5 questions for you
  1. is it possible to fill up empty places with KI in the online racing championships ? (example: 4 real person and the remains are AI ? or solo, only me and the remains are KI (for people who didn't have so many friends :) )
  2. Is it possible to design own paint jobs for cars?
  3. is it possible to download tuning setups from other people? or send tuning setups to friends?
  4. do we have a screen which shows which car part is damaged and how much? I missed this in PC1
  5. is it really possible to drive every track on snow ? Bathurst in Australia in snow ?
Thank you for PC1 ! it is an amazing game and I am very exited to get PC2

#2 is a no
#3 I believe is a yes (cannot find where I read it at)
 
Thank you for this information !! Only 1 and 4 is left.
I hope for self created solo racing championships, I play the most time at the moment alone or with one friend.

Really sad about no self created car designs. This feature would be very cool for racing championships (own racing plate with number for the car, with the name of the championships etc. ).

To clarify, #2 is a NO on consoles. I believe on PC the current style system should still be possible. But I am not sure if the custom liveries will be visible in multiplayer. They aren't in the current game. Not sure if that has changed.
 
Hey @IanBell, @The_American

I'm not sure if these have been asked but,

1. In multiplayer instead of having your mic either muted or not muted will/is there a way to have the player push a button to talk? A "push to talk"

2. Will there be a way to talk to your crew chief? Maybe like F1 2016 has it? Or through the mic you can say certain things like "how's my tires?"

The American said that the second one is more Project CARS 3 than Project CARS 2.

  3. will be there Pit stop animations or still invisible tire changes, fuel ...
  4. Is it possible create a ghost online race ? all drivers on the track but in ghost cars, no crashes with other driver
thank you.

3. Full pit lane animations, according to discipline.

Bonus: We can also control our car in pit lane.

oh no :( sorry i haven't seen this.
Thats really sad, No offline championships :( this is a great feature i cant understand why this is not in :/ think about user without an good internet connection, or without many friends, or people who only have time where others on work or in bed. Not a good decision.

They've thought about it which is why Ian said about having a look and seeing if it was possible. We've not received any updates past this so we don't know more than that.

I believe the app "crew chief" has this "push to talk" option. It will tell you certain stuff with voice prompts.
 
Some questions:

1. I saw a video with the M6 gt3 with endurance lights. Will all gt3 cars have endurance lights? Is it possible to to switch on the headlights without endurance lights?

2. If pcars 2 have the Renault RS 01, will it be in the GT3 class?:P

3. Will we see different strategies from the AI, for example on a snowy RX track(like in the RX video, where the Racing Line isn´t covered with snow anymore) some AI opponents will drive with studded tyres, others with winters?

The RS01 we have isn't specced for GT3. I think that would require an extra car license because it essentially is a different car.
 
As a question regarding the IndyCar license. I know it's the 2016 season and we've seen the Honda and can expect the Chevrolet but does that mean all the unique liveries from the season including the Indy 500?

Also, will we be able to finish qualifying laps online?

2016 Indycar license means we can do the real liveries and driver names for the career, yes. we're working on these liveries now actually. Not sure about the Indy500 race liveries, need to check.

Should be able to finish qualy lap online. Just yesterday testing Indycar _offline_ at Long Beach I crossed S/F with 0:01 remaining and was pleasantly surprised the game let me finish that lap. Actually I was mentally trained to give up and relinquish control to AI when timer hit 0:00 so I came off the throttle and let go of steering nearly hitting the wall. Then I realized the game was allowing me to finish that lap which was cool but by then I had already messed up that lap anyway so I just treated it like a cooldown lap. I expect this to be the same for online races too (need to test). And btw, we do also have cooldown laps. I finished the Race session (P1 of course) and when I crossed S/F line at checkered flag the "Cool Down Lap" message appeared on screen and I was able to drive it all the way around and into the pits where my crew was waiting.

Awesome. As a Coyne fan, this is what I wanted to hear. Now to hope for Pippa Pink. :)

The other part's great too. I remember having an issue where it was allowing me to do the last lap but the session finished partway through. As well as being a second up on my original Q lap in an AOR race a few weeks ago but time ran out as I exited the final corner.

YES YES YES! Been waiting for this for so damn long, where's the preorder button? ;) :bowdown::bowdown:
 
You probably won't be allowed to answer something like that (especially if the answer is negative), but: Were there any people at the preview event that were genuinely unimpressed? Because the Team VVV video seemed amazingly promising and I'm just curious if there were many people as impressed as them.
 
@The_American with regards to filling the grid with AI on the online championship. I thought that was a great feature to add the challenge of a full grid even if you only had a few friends in the session with you. Will that be implemented again and will you be able to include AI to make a full grid for your online series if you only have a few regular players? Everything I've seen is thus far points to pcars2 cementing its place as the definitive racing title. Cannot wait.
 
filling the grid with AI is the same as in PC1, but you cannot assign the AI placement and car to the grid by yourself like e.g. custom grid mod for PC1
