10:57 "Don't know anyones name in the stock car Pro series" just as you overtake Rubens Barrichello! 😂 Also there's Tony Kanaan, Felipe Massa and Nelson Piquet Jnr I believe.
Moved back to AMS2 after months of not playing it and I'm yet again reminded of what a sim this is! Been blasting Bathurst with Stock cars and GT3s vs. AI.
@@rockerbauer Reiza said that the 2023 physics are virtually the same as 2022's, despite the real series having a tyre manufacturer change. It's promised to change how tyres communicate with some parameters of the physics, meaning a more "connected" feel and less lenient sliding (we hope so)
Looking forward to the physics update for the 2023 stock car in the next update. Currently they are just skin updates running the same physics as the 2020-2022 models. The rl 23 car received new Hanook tires and rear wing.
You're spot on Mike, after an extended absence from sim racing (injury) im starting to ease back in and OMG what have they done to Ams2? It looks amazing now (always been pretty) but now it's really coming together, the ffb is good but that lighting, so immersive. Great looking gfx, great fun an element some other sims seem to neglect. Bravo Reisa
@@SimRacing604 I'm sure Reiza appreciate all your positive videos. AMS2 has always been a diamond that just needs polishing. It's great that they keep pushing it to new heights.
Hello. I saw your discussion with Simioni in the Reiza's forum. Please don't take it personal. Not only he's a bit aggressive sometimes but we are living something here in Brazil that we thought was long gone - and I'm talking about real censorship, a real dictatorship in course. And yes, sadly, it's affecting games directly, through more taxes, what can and cannot be said, etc. So every concerned Brazilian is a little bit aggressive nowadays. A little on the edge. I love your work. Not only AMS2 related. I hope you keep producing good content.
Hi there! Thank you so much for the support. Renato and I spoke over email. We reached an agreement, and there are no negative feelings. Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot.
100% agree with you mike on norchesliffe 1971, while its stunning to look at (especially in vr) it feels like a 200mph procession, hardly any overtake sections and those high kerbs are a bloody pain in the arse.Will give these cars and track a look at later tonight.Cheers mike great vid,all the best squire 🙂👍🍻
In two weeks I'm going to this circuit (just 40 minutes from home) as Tarumã is back to the calendar after a good years out as it lacked some safety features. Also, this will be the last years with V8s as 2.0 litre inline 4s will replace them next season while the JL09 chassis will also be replaced. It can be said that AMS2 will be there to relive these cars once 2024 comes, and so it is with some of the content that's already out of the real tracks. When release day comes test the announced Sigma P1 G5, it's a monster of a machine and certainly the safest prototype we have here in Brazilian soil.
Interesting that they make the same move to turbo 4s that DTM did before moving from the Class1 prototypes to GT3s. I know they were struggling alot with vibration and therefore reliability, especially in the first season
@@morinho87 Apparently the move is intended to bring a regulation parity with TC2000, with further plans to have a joint race in Argentina and one here in Brazil. With no models confirmed, the possibility of following TC2000's move to SUV models is there too. Whatever happens, Stock Car will be totally different in 2024.
I have come round to this game also. Had it for months but hardly played but now it's become my go to game. In my opinion it's the most diverse modern looking sim at the moment. Having loads of fun with it and I must say the are more and fuller servers these days. I have a feeling some race room people migrated to ams2 because race room is dead online.
Thanks for highlighting the new 2023 Stock Car Pro Series in AMS2. While the teams and drivers wait for the finalized 2023 specs-will the new Hankooks remain paired with the 2020/22 wing as used in Interlagos or will the series revert to the 2019 wing as originally planned?-we simracers wait for Reiza to import those changes into AMS2. Can’t get more real than that! Also, this month, the series returns to Taruma for the first time in four years-good choice for your video!
Hi Mike, you made me fall in love with AMS2 again. Thanks for that. I think it is just a little more enjoyable to drive than other sims, more fun. Would you please share your opponent settings you have in this race please?
The Stock cars have always been very good. Your favourite overtaking spot is the same place I can pretty much send a move every lap unless the AI are 2 wide there. It’s my big gripe with AMS2 that there is at least 1 gimme corner on every track.
Started running a championship with the '22 cars. Unfortunately the more races I did the more I realised how lacking the AI are. I tuned them initially (AI 108 / Aggression medium) so that I would be qualifying around 10th. In races I found that if I was in trouble early on I could just pit at the start of the window and they would lose so much time fighting amongst themselves that by the time they made their stops and rejoined I would find myself in 1st. I could never be sure if they were using the boost function and if they were certainly not in any intelligent way. Then the fact they run on a different physics model meant there were some corners, such as the chicane at the Galeo? airport track, where if I had them behind me I felt in constant danger of getting punted as they were so much faster. I saw someone else describe the racing the AI like a Hollywood movie. They were spot on. It looks spectacular at first glance but dig deeper and there is little of substance. A shame as I really like how the car drives and the diverse selection of circuits they race on. With the recent update I've thus far spent most of my time lapping the '71 'ring in the Formula Retro Gen 1 cars.
Hey Mike and guys, are you aware of Racecraft online. Its an iracing/LFM system for ams 2 online racing. Hopefull y it can bring new life to online. Ive been having a blast on it
Hello im Brazilian and the Brazilian Stock Cars Gonna change their Cars for the 2024 season, The New cars are reportedly to be more than 5 seconds faster than the current cars, which is pretty awesome, but they wont use the v8 anymore, Will be nice to drive these new cars in the future in the simracing games
Tbh the sunset looks too "brown" for my taste, altho it is more fitting for Brazilian tracks. For the other tracks some lighting/colors is a long-going task that im cooking slowly.
All I want out of sim racing content is old cars and old tracks. Not the biggest fan of how AMS2 feels but I play it for the content. Apologies but this right here does nothing for me these days.
RF2 will always be my fave, but I am absolutely LOVING how AMS2 is progressing! Big thank you to the modding community for bringing the F1 & Cart content to life too 😀
I played ams2 for the first time in months this week and the AI is still as crap as it was in 2022! Every race in any car is the exact same race. They race in packs, create convoys, they are super hesitant to over take each other, the top three or fours cars always finish within a couple of seconds of each other even when I do 50 minute races, mandatory pit stop and multi class. It looks beautiful, but for me it’s nothing more than a hot lap weather sim and the least compelling game for racing either offline or online. It’s such a shame because it could be an amazing game, but it’s so boring and doesn’t simulate the enjoyment of racing.
@@jonasclementdk for both online and offline racing, RF2 and Raceroom are my two sims of choice. I’d love for ams2 to be in my regular rotation as I enjoy all it has to offer from a car set up and driving experience, but outside of hot lapping there’s nothing else to do. I joined a league once and that was a janky affair every race. With mandatory pit stops, three of the drivers pit crew every race refused to change their tyres, we had to abandon rolling starts because it kept switching pole and second place and I can’t tell you the amount of times drivers got kicked moving from quali to the actual race. I wish I could love this game, but I play it for a couple of hours every few months and then I’m quickly reminded why I hadn’t played it in months.
@@jamesleegte No major issues for me personally, luckily, however I agree that R3E smokes AMS2 when it comes to online. rF2, never got that one feeling quite good on my system before abandoning it. Too much dialing in and fiddling which is time that could be spent on track. Hopefully Reiza can sort out the big issues still left in AMS2 over the coming time.
@@jonasclementdk RF2 I couldn’t agree more,I’ve spent so many hours getting RF2 dialled in and I have the added pain of being a vr driver haha Honestly, they have put so much work into the UI and settings and it’s a lot more user friendly, especially compared to five years ago when I first purchased it. Once you have it dialled in, it does become plug and play, but you have to invest a whole Saturday pretty much getting it dialled in, crazy but true. RF2 is my favourite and mixed with LFM it’s so addictive.
@@jamesleegte Hah yeah, I use VR too. I got it mostly working but it does not feel as good as AMS2 for me. Doesn't help that without spending money on DLC all I really have is workshop content of varying quality to test with. What kind of wheelbase are you running? Do you have any VR tips - for me the UI and HUD arr way too close by default

I came here to say this 😂
Moved back to AMS2 after months of not playing it and I'm yet again reminded of what a sim this is! Been blasting Bathurst with Stock cars and GT3s vs. AI.
The Stock Car Brasil feels like a mish-mash of Supercars, GT4 and BTCC, so fun to drive and to master.
I hope they get even better when 1.5 comes.
I hope too, 1.5 gave me hopes for fixing weird tires behaviour.

@@Gamebit257 you don't need to hope, when Reiza says something they do it soon or later
@@thesucker2002 how they transformed the Madness Engine beyond what SMS could do is amazing.
They remind me of a more civilised Aussie Supercar.
These are deffo a highlight of AMS2 and those Brazilian tracks are great! Nice video👍
Thank you so much

Hey Mike! Glad to see AMS content after, hum..., these couple days 😉. Great video as always. Keep then coming. Cheers.
Tha might have been a poor choice of words by Renato, but everyone knows that those words wasn't for Mike at all.

Enjoyable ridealong vid Mike. Wish I could play this, but alas I'm still on consoles for now. God bless and race on 🏁
Hopefully one day this comes to console. Fingers crossed. You’d love it
Great video! Top punditry as always! 👍😁
😂😂😂😂 nice one. I was wondering who was going to bring that up. Reiza and I made nice again, don’t worry

Keep the excellent content.
Thanks Mike

I haven't tried Taruma though, looks like that's next on my list :)

One of my favorites also...
For me, these cars are one of the best to drive in the sim racing world.
nice vid gonna give it a try Thanks

In terms of pace where does this series land between GTs and so on? It seems faster than GT4?
Definitely faster than GT4, but I’d say a step slower than GT3
There's a chance there will be a review over the weekend T818 ? :)
Yes! Tomorrow. It’s recorded and ready to release
