Haha yeah, the joys of trying to do serious commentary with gamer aliases instead of real names 🤦🏻♂️ Could have ended up as a Carry On Sim Racing movie!
Hello, glad that you were able to find a clean race in AMS 2. If you want weekly league races part of a championship I have a league for that. Mostly 19:00 BST on Weekdays. With several different motorsports to choose from. Hit me up if you're interested! Cya 😊
Thank you bud, really appreciate the offer. I never really continued with AMS2 after this race, but I always thought I’d need to find a community race to get the best out of it. I’ll keep an eye out for your races 👍
Glad you've given it another go Chris, really hoping you get your rating up a bit and come join us on track. we do have a couple of lower rating evenings during the week but i know your track time is limited.
Cheers Metz, yeah this clean race has got me to within touching distance of the D licence. It’s Week 13 in iRacing next week and the LFM schedule isn’t particularly good for me, so I’m hoping to get a bit more time on this to get my licence up 🤞
Cheers mate, yeah I was only planning to try it in single player, but decided to check the lobbies to see what was happening. Glad I did, feel a bit more positive about it now!
@@chrisrogerssimracing that BMW in this sim compared to others I found it's done really well. You absolutely MUST try the BMW pro car though. It's just perfect. The other one that comes to mind is the little Aussie Camaro. They're so wild and being that they're so small they make for excellent close racing. I have so many favorites because the AMS2 focus is on quality and not quantity. Worth mention: Bathurst / mount panorama at Sunset, bonus points if you do it in VR but either way it's just incredible. Even the go carts and carting tracks are just done so well. And with the advances that AMS2 has in tire and track modeling over others... It's hard to even go back to the others. Since I got this sim... it's very rare that I even open any other the others up but... I'm pretty content with AI driving, hot lapping and only the occasional open lobby. If I was a diehard competitor I would probably still need another sim.
Thanks Walt, yeah it was a decent race. Nothing spectacular, but in the interests of fairness I thought I’d knock a vid together after I slammed it last time 🤣
Thanks for this mate AMS2 tends to sit idle in my sim catalog. Need to give it another rip. Once again your amazing commentary makes it even better. Thanks again Chris from 🇦🇺
My pleasure mate, thanks for watching. I think a cleaner race like this is the exception rather than the rule in ANS2, but it’s encouraging to know you can find one! And the sim looks fantastic, which always helps 😃
Good race again Chris, I'm trying to do more races on AMS2, but it's the force feedback and just how car's feel like their riding on a pivot. Like there's a needle or something in the middle underneath the car....it be might something I have to get used too.
Thanks Terry, it’s not just you - I’ve really struggled with the feel too. Particularly in the more ‘standard’ sim racing cars like the GT3s. I don’t quite notice it as much when I drive something a little more quirky like these DTM classics, because you know they’re going to be a handful anyway!
You should put yourself out there to be a commentator. We'd love to have you in our ACC group to either commentate the races or join in. We'd keep the racing clean for you 😂
Thank you mate, very kind of you to say. What’s your ACC group? I have commentated on a couple of sim races in the past, but my sim time is quite limited so I don’t get the chance very often.
@Chris Rogers Sim Racing your welcome, the group is called Cerberus Virtual Racing. It won't allow me to post the discord link as it just removes my post. q3eFvGCZsZ is the code for the discord though. It's the only thing I miss about playing ACC and that's the lack of DTM and Touring cars. Hopefully AC2 pulls it out the bag.
Yeah there are some very quick guys. The driver who was on pole position and span out on lap 2… he rejoined about 10secs behind me, but still caught me and passed me in 5 laps 🤣
Yeah I’m warming to it, I must admit. Shame the multiplayer is so far behind other titles, but there are definitely good races to be had if you can find a grid with some like-minded drivers 😃
I think the RaceRoom one still feels better, and more rounded. This one was fun, but it was quite easy to drive. The first laps I did in it were my qualifying laps, and I got used to it quite quickly. I think RaceRoom’s ones have a bit more character 👍
@@ondrejkratochvil4589 Yeah, only the BMW and the Merc to choose from here. Didn’t try the Merc. The engine sounds were very good, and of course the tracks look fantastic.
it seems you only escaped the carnage because of qualifying ahead. we can’t redeem AMS2 yet, even in this video there’s total chaos around, you were just plain lucky.
Very true, but at least this one actually resembled a sim race (unlike the last one!) 🤣 That type of carnage seems to happen at Red Bull Ring T1 in every sim, sadly. It was just encouraging to actually race alongside a couple of people, cleanly. I’m sure this is an exception, rather than the rule, when it comes to open lobbies though!
Chris, please, why do you always speak with the forced high pitched voice? I find it very tiring. I'm probably not the only one. I'd really enjoy it more if you speak normally and calmly like you do in the intro. Keep up the good work 👍
@@chrisrogerssimracing did look as the first thing when I woke up. Usually you are early on weekends 😁 watching your vid I was constantly thinking, man I couldn't keep that car as straight as you did. Have tried the 1995 in RR and it did not go well. Congrats on the well deserved podium.. 💯
With these type of cars that are a bit more unique with their handling, it’s not so bad. But if I jump into a GT3 on AMS2, I can hardly keep the thing straight 🤣
Ah back to AMS 2 - excellent stuff! Bet you're glad you didn't have to commentate on Sweatyflaps versus Hardcore further down the grid!!

This is one of my favorite cars and favorite tracks! Great racing! Glad you gave AMS2 another go. It's such a great sim

Great driving, that guy who came in second was seriously fast. Glad you gave AMS2 a second try.
Yeah, both the front two were. But the lad in pole, who span and then caught me up against, was proper rapid.
Nice race there Chris! Looked like fair good fun, thanks for sharing Buddy!!
Thanks Walt, yeah it was a decent race. Nothing spectacular, but in the interests of fairness I thought I’d knock a vid together after I slammed it last time 🤣
Nice race. Cleaner then in ACC. AMS2 is a nice simulator. I love this one
Yeah, it was a nice surprise! Had a free evening and didn’t really have many race options, so thought I’d give AMS2 another try. Glad I did!
Thanks for this mate AMS2 tends to sit idle in my sim catalog. Need to give it another rip. Once again your amazing commentary makes it even better. Thanks again Chris from 🇦🇺

Great driving!! Great announcing!! Very entertaining!! SUBBED.
Nice one! Thanks for the sub and welcome to the channel!
Enjoyed that video
Glad u had a better time in ams2
Now get on Bathurst 1983 !
Love this commentary. I can almost imagine Tim Harvey describing a BTCC tin top race weekend 😂. Great race!
Great stuff mate another very entertaining video, love the DTM's
Cheers mate, yeah I really enjoyed the car. Something a little different to my usual weekly races. Bit of a battle to keep it in a straight line!
Good race again Chris, I'm trying to do more races on AMS2, but it's the force feedback and just how car's feel like their riding on a pivot. Like there's a needle or something in the middle underneath the car....it be might something I have to get used too.

@@chrisrogerssimracing When I'm not being lazy, I'll have to give the DTM a try and maybe some different cars in the sim.
Another top race there Chris! 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you mate. Certainly wasn’t a classic, but an enjoyable and competitive one 😃
Thanks Chris, very enjoyable , would definitely like some more AMS2.
Missing you over on RaceRoom as well!👍
Cheers mate, yeah a RaceRoom race is long overdue. Will be making that one of my priorities over the next week or two, for sure!
Nice Race, Chris good podium and good driving.
Thanks Bill, didn’t really have many racing options last night, so thought I’d give AMS2 another try. Much more enjoyable, second time around!
You really should be a commentator!
Ahh thank you mate 😃

I like AMS2. I find many drivers in AMS2 to be very very fast.
Yeah there are some very quick guys. The driver who was on pole position and span out on lap 2… he rejoined about 10secs behind me, but still caught me and passed me in 5 laps 🤣
I have been doing a lot on AMS2 online recently and have had some great battles. Just a shame there is not the depth of competition like iRacing.
Yeah I’m warming to it, I must admit. Shame the multiplayer is so far behind other titles, but there are definitely good races to be had if you can find a grid with some like-minded drivers 😃
Can I just say - commentary rivals f1 commentators
Ahh thank you mate, very kind of you to say 😃
BTW any comparison between these ams2 DTMs and the r3e 1992 ones? who does it better in your opinion?
I think the RaceRoom one still feels better, and more rounded. This one was fun, but it was quite easy to drive. The first laps I did in it were my qualifying laps, and I got used to it quite quickly. I think RaceRoom’s ones have a bit more character 👍
@@chrisrogerssimracing So no need to race ams2 because of them :) Also R3E has more varied field with Audi, Opel and the mighty Mustang :)
@@ondrejkratochvil4589 Yeah, only the BMW and the Merc to choose from here. Didn’t try the Merc. The engine sounds were very good, and of course the tracks look fantastic.

Join a league. Too many bashers online. They think that since the mastered Mario Kart their ready for F1.
😋😉😁👍💯❤️
Back on top spot! Be nice if my race results could match your consistency!
@@chrisrogerssimracing did look as the first thing when I woke up. Usually you are early on weekends 😁 watching your vid I was constantly thinking, man I couldn't keep that car as straight as you did. Have tried the 1995 in RR and it did not go well. Congrats on the well deserved podium.. 💯
@@firstjayjay Yeah, it did seem to want to go in every direction, except for straight!
I don't know how you can drive this sim with it's totally weird FFB
With these type of cars that are a bit more unique with their handling, it’s not so bad. But if I jump into a GT3 on AMS2, I can hardly keep the thing straight 🤣
A FFB setup ‘can be found’ that should make AMS2 great. I came from AC, rF2 (my fave ffb), r3e and have also enjoyed AMS2.
