It's only a test. In reality you'd do everything to avoid crashing and that's the point. Even when an AI has crashed into the player car I have still given a high rating (LFS) because after the accident they avoided further contact when continuing the race... not all AI behaved like that.

lol

I think I'd probably screw up the pitstops :) Maybe one day I will. Thanks for watching bro.

Thank you man

I agree they're pure and a really fun step towards the Vintage F1 car. Thanks man.

Yes the link for them is in the description 🙂

Hey Barry. Yeah its a shame, maybe water shoes would help.

Thanks so much brother, that would be great! 💯👍🏾

Thank you Dan. Are you using mods now?

​​@@SIMRACINGTRUCKERyessir after all this time 😂 mainly because I been driving online only in the little time Ive had.

😄 I keep saying it but I'm gonna have to get back online... maybe once Reiza drop v1.6

Hey brother, I appreciate your support! I think you'll click with this track, these new Stock Cars are really fun to race I would definitely want to get back online for them. I've really gotten into NASCAR and GT racing, I was an F1 guy but it's not competitive racing anymore.

Thanks man, sounds like a good combo 🙂

definitely need to hop on this. Good runs

Thanks bro, it's still up there for me.

nice overtaking attempts. I notice that too with the Ai having A+ brake kits installed 😂

19:28 Check Mate ! 😂

100% I'll admit I'm not liking F1 much after last season and this current time, it's too much about the capability of the car and not the driver imo. Lol Jim is an undercover troll 😂 Thanks bro, about to check out your latest, ✌🏾

@@SIMRACINGTRUCKER 💯😂🫡

😂 I'd pass out like Nigel Mansell pushing to the pits. Thanks bro, peace 👍🏾

Haha thank you Kevin. Of course we know this Sim is still developing but it gives me some of the best times in Sim Racing. When am I going to learn to fuel the car properly 😅

Haha I had a nice battle myself with these updated AI, it was fantastic! I'll check your video out. Not sure how old you are but as a guy over 40 I'm amazed with how racing games are so real now.

@@SIMRACINGTRUCKER Not as experience as you, I'm "level" 35 lol, but I do remember how it was when I was playing on Playstation back in the 9Os, racing games has evolved at lot !

Cool, that's a good "level"! Ah ,the 90's lol :)

Hello JCG, I appreciate the friendly and kind words. These cars are definitely a great challenge but lots of fun, I'm surprised that sim racers don't really drive them as an alternative to GT3's 😉 I'd be happy to take some advice on how to better drive these cars, I think next I'll try the Maserati 250F. Peace!

​@@SIMRACINGTRUCKER right, then! The Vanwalls were understeery, so turn into the corner earlier, and get on the throttle earlier to counter that. The Ferraris were also understeery, but in a worse way. One reason is the Englebert tires used being increasingly inadequate. Add the powerful engine and short wheelbase, makes it a very sensitive car as a whole. Apparently one trick Mike Hawthorn said about driving it is to keep the revs high, which works for me... The BRM more or less handles better compared to those two, but it's hard to trust the car, especially the back end of the car under braking. Though that checks out, because the rear brakes were a problem of the BRM P25 throughout its whole career. The Coopers. For me, at least, the T43 handled better than the T45, I find it harder to control slides on the T45. Though with disc brakes and bigger engine, the T45 is faster. The Lotuses were very light cars, so you can, for instance, brake later than the rest, but they were hopeless on really fast tracks. I once did a race at Nardo in the Lotus 16, and it won't breach 160mph, even the Porsche 718 left me in the dust! The Porsche 718 RSK is basically the sportscar modified to be a single seater. In the exact state it had, it would've been eligible for F2 races (though Carel de Beaufort didn't mind racing it against F1 cars). It had a swing rear axle, so it's oversteery. And the small engine and the slightly modified sportscar bodywork meant that it would be hard to catch, let alone keep up with any bigger cars. But it had a very good top speed. At the aforementioned race at Nardo, I switched to the Porsche, which I managed to max out at 170-171mph! And now, the Maserati 250Fs. I'm sure you may have noticed there that there were actually several variants of the car. There were T1s, T2 "Leggeras" and T3 "Piccolos". Frankly, it's hard to find faults with these 250Fs, they all handle extremely well, but the differences in the variants would affect overall lap times. The T1s were the cars built from 1954-56, that had been steadily improved over the seasons. The T2 "Leggeras" were the 1957 works cars, and as the name suggests, they had a new, lightweight chassis, making them lighter and more potent than the earlier cars. Though by 1958, these variants lost quite a lot of power because of new fuel regulations... Then there's the T3 "Piccolo". It's basically what Maserati would've used if they kept on racing in 1958. This car is smaller than the "Leggera", lighter than the "Leggera", the engine had been modified to suit the new fuel regulations (so it managed to keep most of its power), and it also had a shorter wheelbase. It is my favourite of the 250F variants, though while it still handled very well, the short wheelbase made it more sensitive, and it's much easier to get it sideways. The Lancia D50. The car never raced in 1958, it was just a "Bonus content" added in. So it is in the specs it had in 1955. It is a fantastic car, good power, good brakes, very good traction. But that's where you should be careful at. Thanks to the design of the D50, it had great traction around the corners. But let's not forget, the crossply tires don't really make much grip. And when the D50 inevitably breaks traction, it is very, very hard to catch...

What a wonderful morning read that was! You're speaking my language when it comes to racing cars, it's clear you have a fascination and knowledge of cars from that era (or any sim racing cars). Thanks very much for the quick reply, although I haven't yet tried any of the other cars apart from the Vanwall this gives very driver specific information which gives me inspiration for some future content for AMS I could produce. Have you ever raced these cars online?

@@SIMRACINGTRUCKER no, not really, I play rFactor, where the original mod runs, and my internet connection isn't reliable enough for me to enjoy any online sessions, sadly...

@@SIMRACINGTRUCKER plus we had just released another mod for rFactor, one for the 1951 Formula One season, so that's more time spent testing...

Yeah I'll give it a try, thanks for watching 🙂

@@SIMRACINGTRUCKER sure man

Thanks bro, haha I'm the same many of these mods I have yet to drive, I look forward to seeing you race. Much appreciated Kev!

What's up Barry! It's pretty good. Thanks, that means a lot coming from someone with your skill and experience 👊🏾

Thanks man, much appreciated! Yes I'm loving the M4 and the Porsche, a stellar job from Reiza. As to your question, I'm setting the Opponent Number using Manual Grid to a total of 31 cars but then the game loads 32 and the Safety Car (33).

It's not perfect yet, I agree iRacing's AI is probably the best in any sim.

@@SIMRACINGTRUCKER on the contrary - ams2 is by far best looking and the weather transition system is role model 🫡👊

🤑🤣😂🤣😂

Thank you so much for your lovely message! It was the middle of the night when I saw it so was too tired to reply, but I am happy you liked this and took the time to write such an uplifting comment. I will subscribe and I too wish you the best (you have a beautiful family I'm sure you are proud of) 🙏🏾☺️👊🏾💯

Interesting combo, I'll check it once I'm done with Le Mans 🙂

It's fun to see mistakes, hopefully more variation to come.

Thank you man! Please like and subscribe for more 😉

I used more than one. For the tyres I used rF2 Simhub Overlays, steering & pedal inputs were Input Display - SimHub overlay, info was SHO XD Style SimHub Overlays, headlight indicator is SimHub Headlights indicator AMS2. Thanks for watching!

@@SIMRACINGTRUCKER thanks

Thanks Mark I appreciate that. Let me know how it goes 💯✌🏾

Much appreciated Kevin. 🤗 I think you're absolutely right about the Porsche, short and twisty tracks would be ideal for it. The racing would be a lot tighter maybe.

Hey bro, thank you very much! I'm enjoying trying new combos in this Sim, can't wait for LeMans. 👍🏾

@@SIMRACINGTRUCKER Lemans yessir : ))

Thank you so much bro 👍🏾👍🏾🙂

I appreciate that bro. Peace!

Much appreciated bro ✌🏾

Tyre wear rates for Wets are off in this new update, did you notice?

@@SIMRACINGTRUCKER I drove once in the wet for 2 laps and didnt enjoy it. u drove better than me in them

Cheers. Apparently they're fixed now so kudos to Reiza 💪🏾

I appreciate all you vehicle skin mod creators. Cheers Kevin!

Lolol I watched till the end. What a finish haha. Nice try Jay :)

I will one day :)

😅 Jim is a savage, he was so disappointed with my drive he ignored me! Yeah I nearly crossed the edge a few times while enjoying myself. Cheers mate 👍🏾

The WOW factor is evident for sure. I'm really impressed with everything Reiza has done with the realism of the AI and how dirty air affects the car. It's outstanding! Plus I wasn't going to buy the new dlc's but the free weekend tipped me over the line 😁

It limits my FPS to 60. My fans get too noisy and things overheat otherwise.

I don't know about that Mod, might have to take a look. Respect Dan thanks brov.

It was pretty tight for sure, the narrow tyres make driving modern cars feel so balanced it's so much fun and a different style of driving. I'm sure there are guys watching this thinking I don't drive these well enough :) Thanks for dropping in Kev, much appreciated!

​@@SIMRACINGTRUCKERI'd say you've done pretty well...

Thank you Azaris! Just tested it on Environment map: Medium. I clearly would never have thought that would affect the paint gloss effect. I'll definitely make a follow up video, shouting you out.
