After being offline for a few days, the server and website are back online.


Shriukan asked me if I could help him with setting up a similar service for AMS2. After that went live, I asked him if he wanted to host Touristenfahrten #2 as well and here we are.

There are now three servers and a new discord:

Touristenfahrten #2 - PCars2 server as you all know it
TFAMS - Touristenfahrten on AMS2 with all cars except open wheelers
TFKOW - Touristenfahrten on AMS2 for karts and open wheelers

Discord: https://discord.gg/znMST6J

The website URL has changed but the old URL will redirect to the new location.

Thanks to Shriukan for taking over!

Happy new year

Good day fellow armchair racers,

today we hit 6000 logged lap times in under 10 months. A great time to introduce a new Leaderboard!

Some time ago, Lufir came up with the idea of a score based leaderboard in addition to the lap time table. Back then, Sane already made a good suggestion about a formula. A week ago he reached out to me and asked if I could help him out with data and information to implement it.
Just a few days later he sent me his implementation, and yesterday I was able to merge it into the website. Thanks again, Sane!

Here it is


The formula to determine the score is still based on the initial proposal by Sane, but was tweaked a bit further to factor in gaps between the times. The full formula is described in the FAQ on the info page.

Have fun hunting dem scores!

Hello fellow tourist drivers,

last week we logged the 2000th lap after just over 6 months. I'm happy that the server is still very popular. It even seems like the number of regular visitors is still growing! Awesome.

Following Sanes idea in the discussions, I added a new message to the MOTD. It's a daily changing message that suggests a random car/class from a hand picked list as "admins choice".
Thanks again for the suggestion, Sane. I like really like the idea because it potentially adds a bit of variety and provides a suggestion for drivers who can't decide what to drive :).

With this update I also allowed some classes that were prohibited in the past for good reasons. For a long time, allowing GT3 or LMP on the server would have caused havok because of all the crash kids around. But I believe (and hope) that most of these crazies have moved on and lost interest in PC2. I know, it's a controverse topic and I'm not yet sure if I want to keep these classes, but I want to try it out at least.

The new allowed classes are:

- GT1
- GT3
- GTE
- GTO
- LMP*
- Group 5
- Group 4
- Group C
- CUP Cars

I hope, everything goes well...

Hey everyone,

today - after 3 months since the server went live - we logged the 1000th personal best lap time!

On this special occasion I'd like to thank all of you for being faithful with the server, and I hope we'll have a great time logging the next 1000 laps!
