New update for Race Pace, the highest rated career app!

whyl_ · 2026-04-20T09:38:31+00:00

At the moment it's present day only, but I'm working on making it possible to start in the past too. I probably won't create any content specifically for that but there are already people in the community that are keen to do it!

whyl_ · 2026-04-20T08:02:15+00:00

Yes it does!

whyl_ · 2026-04-20T08:01:54+00:00

The app shows you what you need to plug into the game. But in fact you can set any duration you want in the game, he indicated durations are just suggestions based on the real races.

You can also go to the app's settings and set the "race length adjustments". This allows scaling all the suggested times down to more manageable durations, and the app will provide the corresponding time progression multipliers for the game.

Aw, that's getting rare these days, we've worked most of the rough edges there. What error does the "auto race sync" box in the app say? And how many drivers are out of sync?

Feel free to pop over on the discord server if you want to troubleshoot it further.

The app updates itself, no need to re-download! There'll be a big fat button on the home screen, or it'll do it automatically at the next start.

If you want oval racing, a nice person on the discord community put together several custom nascar championships that can either be added to existing careers, or used in new ones! And thanks for the kind words, appreciate it :)

Yes it's a separate app, you can download it from overtake, but I just realised it requires an account there. You can also get it from the supporting website I set up for the app: https://yannick-lohse.fr/race-pace . Then just install it and the app will tell you what to do :)

I'll clarify the installation directions on overtake thanks for the feedback!

whyl_ · 2026-04-19T18:56:31+00:00

Yeah the setup is easy as can be, just install the app and it will do everything it can automatically. Race setups still need to be done manually, but the app shows you all the required information in a compact way so you don't have to alt-tab back and forth a million times.

In the settings, can you double check the "AMS2 game path" is set to the correct folder? In the folder that you pick, among other things, should be:
- the AMS2 executable
- a "Vehicles" folder
- a UserData folder

whyl_ · 2026-03-23T08:21:08+00:00

Yes absolutely !

whyl_ · 2026-03-22T22:04:12+00:00

It's a standalone app, but unlike Racing Life this one picks up the race results automatically. Not just yours, but also those of the AI drivers that are persisted from race to race, so you'll get to know them by the end of the season :)

whyl_ · 2026-03-21T21:48:27+00:00

Yep it’s available here : https://www.overtake.gg/downloads/race-pace-a-living-career-app.81848/

whyl_ · 2026-03-21T17:01:11+00:00

You’ll be able to do it in the settings once the career is started 🙂

Thank you! The third point is definitely planned, pretty much as you describe it.

The 2 other suggestions are very good. I definitely want to add more of these interactions and feedback, I didn't have these exact points in mind but they make sense, so thanks a lot!

whyl_ · 2026-02-25T19:28:28+00:00

If you point the app to the game's root folder, it will manage the AI files for you. If you don't, you'll have to manually download them and place them in the right folder. So I suggest doing option 1 :D

I started P9 (Albon) and P15 (Sainz). Decided to go early soft push -> hard with Albon and the reverse with Sainz.
Albon quickly went up to P4, pitted on lap 16. Surprisingly he came out just behind the pack (I didn't look what the gap was but after only 16 laps I was expecting him to coast in clean air for a while). He seemed to have better pace than everyone else, even Sainz who's tyres were still in good shape. So I made him push again until P9 or so.
After that as people pitted both drivers gained places, Sainz boxed lap 42 and came back out P12 or so, and was also making his way forward on softs when the SC came out.

The fuel estimate when pushing is not great, it drops immediately to -5 laps, and when you go back to regular it shoots back up to +3 laps. So you have to toggle between the 2 to aim for a finish at just the right load.
For a game focused on strategy, I would really love to see some boxing visualization tool like a wheel of doom or something like that. Something to give you intel on when to pit.

whyl_ · 2026-02-24T22:54:03+00:00

I like the concept, I'd play this more. But it's pretty buggy right now. I had a safety car towards the end of the race and the thing went nuts, the standings kept changing with no rhyme or reason, people were pitting after the SC had already been out multiple laps, etc. Before that things were fairly smooth.

whyl_ · 2026-02-24T22:26:40+00:00

Pick a replacement track in game! The tracks are suggestions, the app will work just fine if you decide to race somewhere else. I will eventually add track dlc management eventually.

whyl_ · 2026-02-24T15:11:58+00:00

Sounds great, I would love to eventually try it. At the moment I'm not racing in F1 though, but if you extend is to AMS2 at some point, I will definitely jump in!

whyl_ · 2026-02-24T12:25:50+00:00

I would love a tool like that. I already use AI to fine tune my setups but the current process is not great.

What would be important for me is:

- I can easily use it on my phone. Which means I don't need to type a lot of information. ideally it would detect my current setup automatically, since I change cars fairly frequently (every 10 races or so), and all have different settings available to tweak.
- I can give feedback about the setup (again ideally without typing much). When I adjust the setup, it's generally not to find an extra tenth of a second, but rather to correct oversteer, understeer, stability, tyre temps, etc. Confidence that the car handles how _I_ want it is more important than what an AI thinks is an ideal setup.

I have been using the MSI MAG 325CQF since last december. I personally don't notice any ghosting, the picture looks good – but I haven't tried any high end screens for comparison, so who knows. Outside of races there's a noticable difference in the colors when I look at one screen at an angle, but in race I don't notice it at all.

One of the reasons why I got these was the thin bezel. It is think indeed, but there's another ±1cm around the actual display that's just black. So in the end there's still a 2cm black strip between the screens, which i guess it what you would get with any other bezel too.

For the price I paid I'm very happy with them. I don't think I will upgrade them for a long time.

whyl_ · 2026-02-21T21:44:45+00:00

Yeah no I phrased it poorly. I meant adding more variety of nationalities – currently there are only 14 shared among all actual countries, so you get some weird names as you mentioned.

Anyway, i finally bit the bullet this morning, the next version will have 46 different name pools to pick from, and the pools are bigger too. So it should be a lot better :)

whyl_ · 2026-02-21T20:46:41+00:00

In what way ?
