What is this, a YTer who actually works to find good camera settings, car setup, and tuning the AI instead of just jumping in and complaining? Inconceivable.
Once they get the rest of pack 2 out and then the oval pack 3, and all the skins are done, I'd love to see you do your own custom championship season with one of three gens of cars.
CART was dying, so avrage level of racers was getting lower every year. The closest to Greg Moore case is Sebastien Bourdais - 4 time CART champion, who struggled in more competitive series.
@@makb_the_striker Moore was going to Penske in 2000 where he would have beaten de Ferran for the title and had plans to join NASCAR in a few years. He dominated Indy Lights like no one else and was a more intelligent oval racer than Montoya. Could he have been competitive in F1? He would have been better than Zanardi and Micheal Andretti, but not as good as JV or JPM.
3 of Greg's 5 CART wins came on flat ovals, another came on a superspeedway. He had signed with Penske for the seat that went to Helio Castroneves after Greg died. Helio won 3 Indy 500s in that seat and 3 P2 finishes. Given how good Greg was on flat ovals, I think he would have won a LOT of Indy 500s in that seat. Breaking the record of 4 wouldn't have been out of the question.
I went to see cart in Toronto in 1998, met Greg Moore in a cart function promotion they did in down town Toronto, even more impressive I was only 15 and went to this myself being from the UK, Greg seen my name on my backpack and asked if I was distant family 😊 I still have all he signed for me. R. I. P you were taken to soon and brutally for your kind nature.
These CARTs in Laguna Seca made me smile like a child, remembering CART Precision Racing Demo. Ahhh, man You should definitely do a side by side comparison between CART Precision and AMS2, seeing how far we've come in Sim Racing.
@@SAHOYT71013 Yes. Because nowadays comparing competing sims isn't that interesting, mostly because they look a lot similar. But comparing sims from yesteryear it's a sight to behold to see what has changed.
@@Gamebit257 I think modern sims merit comparison, but the true ways they differ is in feel, and a video just can't convey that without a lot of commentary (which GPL is actually quite adept at giving haha). I guess to that end, I'd like to see Indycar 2 vs. CARTFactor vs VRC 1999 vs AMS2. Not trying to dump on your idea, just CART Precision Racing is so wonky that I don't think it deserves a place at the table. CPR was actually the first I ever heard of CART and got into Indycar, but it's just not worth anything more than a goofy retrospective, which we already got.
I had the special opportunity in 2003 to have a all access pass to the cart race at portland international. Just before the start of the race, Mr. Paul Newman was standing mid track and about 100 yards from the start/finish line. And ignoring the repeated and emphatic disapproval of my liaison, I approached Mr. Newman. I probably said something to the effect of, “oh fuck no, i can’t miss this opportunity.” I approached him with respect and understanding he was a private man and made my greeting and request brief. Mr. Newman looked me up and down and said, “ok, make it quick.” End result, I have a picture of Paul Newman and myself, Mr Newman looking like my short-cool grandpa and me with a big shit eating grin. Cart will always be special to me. RIP Paul Newman. RIP CART. RIP Newman-Haas.
Superb vid! Interesting that you're trying the ai at 5(FIVE)% aggression. I've never considered putting them that low. I assumed putting them closer to 100% gave them more overall awareness. Interesting - I'll have to try that!
I went to the 2006 Grand Prix of Cleveland. I was only 10 years old but it sparked my love of racing. They would open pit lane and let spectators walk down past the garages
I was in college for automotive restoration in Cleveland in 2007 and a classmate was desperate to buy tickets to this race so he sold me a vintage Clodbuster for like 40 bucks, that would explain why he was so motivated to go to that last race
If my memory is correct, it was at this track on the cool down lap that Robby Gordon swerved into Michael Andretti, apparently in retaliation for something that happened during the race. This track was known to produce a lot of "fireworks."
I was just driving by Burke Lakefront last week wishing I had taken advantage of viewing racing there while we had it. Glad to see it getting some sim love!
These cars SOUND incredible too. That's what was always lacking with third party, no offense, is that they never truly sounded exactly like the cars did. In Automobilista they finally do.
Long thought CART had to get some Group B-style nostalgia kick eventually. Mind you there's a race winning 1999 Newman Haas Swift that sold for all of $ 56,000 recently. 'Well under estimate' and it didn't surprise me. Somehow it is the greatest forgotten era of racing history.
Was that with the engine, gearbox, running... Just the stuff needed to make it move ? I'vee once seen a mid 2000s Dodge Nascar being sold for 20K USD on auction, wich included the engine and everything else.
Yes, the bumps here definitely get your attention. For road courses, of course, there's Mid Ohio. It could be interesting, with 1995 being the last year of the interim layout at Laguna Seca. Just something a little different. For street circuits, definitely the 1995 Vancouver track. That place was just so fast, and quite good in the racing department, too. Regarding ovals from the period, New Hampshire, Gateway, and Michigan seem like good choices to give a wider mix. The 1986 Indy Cars were certainly distinctive in road course and short oval configuration with those giant rear-wing end-plates. Just recalling the 1985 season, fortunately and unfortunately, given who just passed. Glad Big Al lived to see the 4th man join the 4-Time Club, though.
1998 was the season that Sega's Flag to Flag game simulated, I believe. That's important to me personally because that Dreamcast title was what first hooked me on open-wheel sim(...ish) games. Now that I'm old and skilled enough to appreciate what I couldn't as a kid, I'll gladly accept the chance to show what I'm really made of.
As a European guy born in the late nineties, I didn't live through the CART era. However, I totally see why everyone loved it. I wished indycar had their own Archive/streaming platform. I'd love to live through the glory days race by race, season by season. Sadly some races from back then are not on RUclips
I kind of want to be proud they picked Cleveland for the first race. I had worked as a temp at the IX center the year it opened. And In between, I got to be a "Security Guard" at the Cleveland Grand Prix. Of course I was put some where just to keep people from going into no mans land. But at least I could hear the practice and race. Arigato for this upload. I can't wait to see You do more of this. Senpai is most informative. ❤🤞🦊
I was really hoping we’d get Portland or another track that’s not in modern sim racing or barely represented in modern sim racing, rather then Road America. Don’t get me wrong, Road America is a legendary track but…..idk…I’m just burned out on it I guess. I have a million laps around it in many titles and cars and I don’t plan to make it a billion laps.
The sounds give me chills, I have it ready on my steam shopping cart (no pun intended). I wonder how online racing will react to this, I had a blast on rFactor 1 on the SCART league.
Not sure if that counts, but Proejct Cars 2 has Indycar licence (and that was the goal for open wheel solo career, after going through the formula things) Looking forward for Oval racing on AMS2
I saw some of these cars run in-the-metal on the mile oval at NHIS back in the 90's. Mansell, Mario and Michael, Emmo, Montoya etc. And a heartfelt thanks to Tony George for bringing it all to an end.
They did a good job on the Paul Tracy AI. He tried to hip check you, then cut you off. You're lucky you didn't have to get out of the car next to him after the race, he might have taken a swing at you. Do you remember when Paul ran into teammate Dario Franchitti, and wrecked himself, then almost got into a fight with team owner Kim Green, in the pits? I think Kim had said over his radio something like, "you deserved that Paul". Those were the days. I miss 90's CART.
I grew up watching these guys so of course I think its the best racing ever especially for Indycar, typical things older people say but honest! my Favorite deal right now is to race them in the Rio Oval, so sick!
This looks awesome mate. Once the oval racing update is out, I’d probably take the 98 and 2000 cars to Indy (if that track releases) since they never went there for real.
the VRC indycar in AC is sooo much fun to drive.... it just sucks that AC doesnt have rolling starts... theres always a pile up at the start of races on ovals...even flat-ish oval like indy, the AI drives straight into the pit wall... :( hopefully we'll get all that fixed in AC2 and wont have to touch the pcrap...erm pcars2 engine stuff
That's the "Rio" track he keeps mentioning. They raced on that circuit back in 1998. I agree it'd be fun to try. I've been meaning to do it but this car is so much fun on road circuits I havent gotten around to it.
@@KyleP133My bad ! I didnt know Jacarepaguá was in Rio and for some reason I thought he was referring to the Interlagos Outer, but thats in São Paulo 🤦♂️
One ov my favorite content creators. I build model cars with my dad while watching you or other historic pre 2000 motorsports!!!! I'm going to be selfish but. Nascar 1995 full season?
Another great video as always. I did try the download but think I'm going to wait until we do actually have the ovals before buying. I've seen a few of these AMS2 cart videos recently and they are all positive. Mike from Sim Racing 604 thought it was an awesome addition as well. I really can't make my mind up about AMS2, for me it's a love hate thing and after an hour or so I usually end up back on Assetto Corsa. I think the problem is the majority of circuits are little known South American ones and there are virtually no mods for it so basically if what you want is not part of the original Reiza package then you are not going to get it.
Haven't really done a proper race with this car 'n' track combo, mostly because I'm still on rFactor 1 so it's hard to see where the corners are and the rear on the CARTfactor cars set so violent. They really are axe murderers. This looks much more controllable and organic, somehow. Might have to check out.
Ams2 are a Simcade, the Late 60s and Early 70s car is soo arcade , try Gurney Eagle by team players and f1 70 by labombarda and 72 by endor modding team . Much better than ams2 equivalent cars
Apparently, AAR used the Eagle chassis for some races and there were two Penskes and just one Lola in '98. Are all these cars modelled as Lola in Automobilista 2? I agree about the cockpits: they look more like modern ones, while being much narrower back then. Used to wonder how the drivers could fit their shoulders in. Such a design made cars look really aggressive and fast due to a lower drag. A weird thing was to see the AAR liveries from both '98 and '99 racing each other here!
I bought AMS2 when it came out. It was half finished product IMO. Sporadically I checked what state is AMS2 in and was always disappointed. I never came to grips with it's driving model. But in the last half year, newer cars are more drivable, more enjoyable, but sadly older cars are still a mess. Maybe with a good setups they would be better. With Racing USA2 release, these cars are a joy to race with. I can understand what the FFB is trying to tell me, and I am having so much fun now. AMS2 came a long way. If they could polish older cars (and bugs with older cars) it would be what "AMS2 was meant to be".
You can control your car for the formation lap, it's in the race setup settings where you add laps and weather and so on. Also any idea if the skin pack will throw up any errors for multiplayer?
Hey GP, have you seen the channel scarf and goggles? Really well done documentaries covering a lot of the early land speed record attempts, with a particular focus to the inter-war era.
Personally I would prefer the 1997 season but I realize that coding two more chassis (Eagle and Penske) would have been a lot more work, so this is good.
Penske actually ran its own cars through the end of '99, though I'm more bothered by the lack of Goodyear tires to be quite honest. Won't be an issue with the 2000 cars (as that was the year after Goodyear quit) but if Reiza doesn't manage to get the Goodyear license for the '95 cars (Only a couple full-season teams ran Firestones in what was that brands's comeback year)...oof...
Hey GPLaps, The 24 hours of Daytona is coming up, and there is a lot of GT and DPI related content on Automobilista 2, do you think you could do maybe a 3 hour stint of the race in a GTLM car?
Cool racing , looks like hard work to me with the bumps. Need to be right on it with the throttle to make up any time, easy to mess up accelerating out of the curves.
To listem the reynard names ,its so special for me, im Alex last owner of Reynard Property rights adesigns and drawings, CART was the best era of Auto Racing only comparablke to Ayrton Senna-S era
Just had a day on R3E - my first since R3E updated their FFB - and it's good, but the new Default+, tuned right on AMS2 is - going to say it - better. Really, really, good road feel and connection with the car. Both good, but think AMS2 just edged it :)
I'd really relish racing Greg Moore's 99 Forever at Indianapolis, which its just wrong that was denied b/c of the Split. I would really want to see CART Modded in to my Favorite Superspeedway I've Never Been to, Atlanta Motor Speedway. 99 Forever!
I don’t know if this ‘track’ is still around, but as a 90’s cart fan, and someone who has gotten back into Indy car lately, I wish they would race here again.
im ashamed of myself, haven't even bought AMS2. Drifted away from sim racing as id had enough of having to keep setting my wheel up and then move. Top video as always, people saying AMS2 was already dead, they forget about AI
Looking at the WR times, the cars a little too fast. So perhaps they can dial it back in terms of grip. RF2 also CART factor mod is also in the works and will come out soon.
It's natural for simulator WR times to be slightly faster than real life lap times. Without the rest of the factors, fear of death, and infinite attempts with optimal settings, you can push the car beyond it's real limits.
I know you are more of a vintage fan, but have you tried iRacing IndyCar AI yet? I found Long Beach to be a blast, but the oval sides seems a little off. May be my settings though.
What is this, a YTer who actually works to find good camera settings, car setup, and tuning the AI instead of just jumping in and complaining? Inconceivable.
looking at you Random....
That's the problem. Absolutely no one wants to spend that much time to enjoy a game if they cam help it.
Once they get the rest of pack 2 out and then the oval pack 3, and all the skins are done, I'd love to see you do your own custom championship season with one of three gens of cars.

These CARTs in Laguna Seca made me smile like a child, remembering CART Precision Racing Demo. Ahhh, man
You should definitely do a side by side comparison between CART Precision and AMS2, seeing how far we've come in Sim Racing.
He did a video on CPR and it has not aged well. Definitely an interesting comparison, but it ought to include IndyCar 2 as well as Precision Racing.

You can control it on the start by enabling formation lap
custom rosters + custom liveries = sim racing dreams realized. great stuff here, thanks GP!
I got to cover the Cleveland Grand Prix in '87 when I worked for my hometown weekly in Barberton, OH. It was a great event, great day of racing.
I think this DLC has saved this sim for me, cannot wait to get my hands on the racin USA stuff

Excellent video as always. AMS 2 is really starting to shape up to what I hoped for back in 2015 when I bought this game during Reiza's fundraiser.
If my memory is correct, it was at this track on the cool down lap that Robby Gordon swerved into Michael Andretti, apparently in retaliation for something that happened during the race. This track was known to produce a lot of "fireworks."
In the last year this has become my favorite sim channel! Keep it up man, it really shows that you put alot of passion into this.

These cars SOUND incredible too. That's what was always lacking with third party, no offense, is that they never truly sounded exactly like the cars did. In Automobilista they finally do.
The only downside is that all engine brands use the same sound sample right now. Maybe Reiza will add more engine samples to the cars later?
Long thought CART had to get some Group B-style nostalgia kick eventually.
Mind you there's a race winning 1999 Newman Haas Swift that sold for all of $ 56,000 recently. 'Well under estimate' and it didn't surprise me. Somehow it is the greatest forgotten era of racing history.

Yep, thought it strange that he said you couldn't, given that it was an option in Pcars2.
Although rolling Start AI logic and rules were a Problem.
Looks great. The Paul Tracy AI looks spot on.
Yes, the bumps here definitely get your attention.
For road courses, of course, there's Mid Ohio. It could be interesting, with 1995 being the last year of the interim layout at Laguna Seca. Just something a little different.
For street circuits, definitely the 1995 Vancouver track. That place was just so fast, and quite good in the racing department, too.
Regarding ovals from the period, New Hampshire, Gateway, and Michigan seem like good choices to give a wider mix.
The 1986 Indy Cars were certainly distinctive in road course and short oval configuration with those giant rear-wing end-plates.
Just recalling the 1985 season, fortunately and unfortunately, given who just passed. Glad Big Al lived to see the 4th man join the 4-Time Club, though.
Bought AMS2 for these!! Now i am fully in love with all this Sim has to offer, can't get over how good Group C and GT1 is in the rain at Montreal!!
There is a reason AMS2 is my favorite video game now, it's incredible
Why didn't you just download them free on rF2 or Assetto Corsa and enjoy them considerably less buggy and glitchy?
@@CaseTheCorvetteMan because you cant get them for free for assetto.
@@MrJohansen certainly can for rF2, and that is a better sim than AC in many ways anyway.
@@CaseTheCorvetteMan AMS 2 is way more fun than RF2 and all the content is in much greater fidelity. Also a much better experience on VR.

If F1 wants good racing, the should run the US GP there!
Really fun to watch, great work!
Man Automobilista 2 going HARD for that 'defacto single player racing sim' spot that AC has held for so long
This looks great, might pick up AM2 for this alone. Can you race online and fill out the field with AI cars in your multiplayer session in AM2?
yes
This takes me back to the Indycar Imax movie Super Speedway

I’ve had to order a 270mm rim, these are absolutely fantastic
What a great video! Thanks for this mate!
you can drive in the formation lap and before the green ! its in the option !
I bought AMS2 when it came out. It was half finished product IMO. Sporadically I checked what state is AMS2 in and was always disappointed. I never came to grips with it's driving model. But in the last half year, newer cars are more drivable, more enjoyable, but sadly older cars are still a mess. Maybe with a good setups they would be better. With Racing USA2 release, these cars are a joy to race with. I can understand what the FFB is trying to tell me, and I am having so much fun now. AMS2 came a long way. If they could polish older cars (and bugs with older cars) it would be what "AMS2 was meant to be".
You can control your car for the formation lap, it's in the race setup settings where you add laps and weather and so on.
Also any idea if the skin pack will throw up any errors for multiplayer?
Hey GP, have you seen the channel scarf and goggles? Really well done documentaries covering a lot of the early land speed record attempts, with a particular focus to the inter-war era.
Personally I would prefer the 1997 season but I realize that coding two more chassis (Eagle and Penske) would have been a lot more work, so this is good.
Penske actually ran its own cars through the end of '99, though I'm more bothered by the lack of Goodyear tires to be quite honest. Won't be an issue with the 2000 cars (as that was the year after Goodyear quit) but if Reiza doesn't manage to get the Goodyear license for the '95 cars (Only a couple full-season teams ran Firestones in what was that brands's comeback year)...oof...
Cleveland Rocks!
Hey GPLaps, The 24 hours of Daytona is coming up, and there is a lot of GT and DPI related content on Automobilista 2, do you think you could do maybe a 3 hour stint of the race in a GTLM car?
I really miss this racing era
Cool racing , looks like hard work to me with the bumps. Need to be right on it with the throttle to make up any time, easy to mess up accelerating out of the curves.
Let's hope that they can replicate some of the strategy which makes Indycar Racing II so interesting.
To listem the reynard names ,its so special for me, im Alex last owner of Reynard Property rights adesigns and drawings, CART was the best era of Auto Racing only comparablke to Ayrton Senna-S era
Just had a day on R3E - my first since R3E updated their FFB - and it's good, but the new Default+, tuned right on AMS2 is - going to say it - better. Really, really, good road feel and connection with the car. Both good, but think AMS2 just edged it :)
I'd really relish racing Greg Moore's 99 Forever at Indianapolis, which its just wrong that was denied b/c of the Split. I would really want to see CART Modded in to my Favorite Superspeedway I've Never Been to, Atlanta Motor Speedway. 99 Forever!
I don’t know if this ‘track’ is still around, but as a 90’s cart fan, and someone who has gotten back into Indy car lately, I wish they would race here again.
its still there and every few years various promoters try and revive it
im ashamed of myself, haven't even bought AMS2. Drifted away from sim racing as id had enough of having to keep setting my wheel up and then move. Top video as always, people saying AMS2 was already dead, they forget about AI
nobody ever said that AMS2 was dead
@@rideroundandstuff did I ask for your opinion 🤣 you're obviously not interwoven in the grain of the underworld 🤭
@@dinxsy8069 oof
8:10 I wonder where they got the inspiration from. 🤔
ok, AMS2 here I come!
Seventies next I pray.
Yes rio video pls!!!
Great Video
This would be so cool if I could play it on my PS5 😭
Waiting for my Steam Deck like...
I hope they have full course cautions
Wow! this looks awesome, enough to make me wanna buy ams2
Looking at the WR times, the cars a little too fast. So perhaps they can dial it back in terms of grip. RF2 also CART factor mod is also in the works and will come out soon.
It's natural for simulator WR times to be slightly faster than real life lap times. Without the rest of the factors, fear of death, and infinite attempts with optimal settings, you can push the car beyond it's real limits.
Is Vancouver available to drive in this mod? If so old or later layout? The old layout was the best but i think it changed in ‘98.
I know you are more of a vintage fan, but have you tried iRacing IndyCar AI yet? I found Long Beach to be a blast, but the oval sides seems a little off. May be my settings though.
