The Best Years - IndyCar 1995 at Long Beach - Automobilista 2

[@DELIGHTFULDORITO]

I'm really pumped for the ovals. I feel like it would be a crime of they didn't add indy with these cars. I hope you do a full length 500 if they add it

[@antispeed]

Indy and Nazareth, I hope!

[@TheOriginalStix]

No idea which ones they're going to include, but I think they said they're adding three. If that's the case, I'd love to see Indy, Michigan and maybe Phoenix if they can fit it in on top of adding the Daytona oval.

[@jonny6835]

Personally? I hope they add more Ovals, and add a stock car so you have purpose built Oval racers

[@DELIGHTFULDORITO]

@@jonny6835 I think they'll definitely add a stock car, and hopefully they add cautions/pace cars/restarts to go with it

[@cbj4sc1]

Indy is coming!!!!

[@MadMaxBLD]

I swear, you're the only simracing KZbinr whose races I watch start to finish. Not only do you race hard, but you have so many things to tell us as running commentary. It's really entertaining to watch. AMS2 and IndyCar is a match made in heaven; I hope we'll get a modern-day Dallara too someday.

[@TheBeigeBox]

GPLaps: I’ll just throw it up the inside of Paul Tracey Paul Tracey’s AI: *struggles not going full throttle into the back of him out of spite*

[@mrbismarck]

That'll be when you know they got the AI right.

[@halfamic]

I had the pleasure of living next to this track for some years. I didn't grow up in the racing culture but always had a fond respect for it. After experiencing my first Grand Prix, watching them lay the barriers for weeks and hearing those engines for hours and hours in April, I became hooked. Even driving on it gave you the feel. If you are in Long Beach in March or April, head to the Pike to experience for yourself.

[@acmarston]

That red and white Marlboro livery always looks good.

[@ciggy_]

I never realized that that livery essentially launched Marlboro as a brand, makes you realize why Motorsport always attracted the tobacco companies

[@eticket70]

LBGP! Where it all started for me, way back in 1987! Great to see the old school Champ cars!

[@MrFWStoner]

Your comments and the way you montage the videos makes me get on the edge of the seat every time. You definitely would do really well as a real life IndyCar commentator and I’m not kidding about this. This is the ultimate combination to learn the best car control. 900 bhp without any electronic assists on a bumpy track. Really satisfying when you get it right 😍 Last few months some new people have been working dedicated on the tire -and physics model. Some ongoing issues have been ironed out and you can really feel the difference. All cars will be revisited by these guys. It just got so much better, I love it 9:37 this going to the left is a thing with the Al in AMS2. They start to notice you once you get along side them completely, they should make room for you get the front wing alongside their rear wing. It’s like they don’t look in the mirrors, they should notice us way sooner. ACC does that really good.

[@Kingofweasles]

This video makes me wish I had the money to invest in the hardware needed to really deep-dive into doing these kinds of sim races. Also, in 1995 that second Green Menard's car would've been driven by Scott Brayton, who qualified on the pole for the Indy 500 that year.

[@vMaxHeadroom]

Thankfully AMS2 runs very well on lower end hardware unlike say ACC...But the prices of GPU's went so over the roof but thankfully they are back down now...

[@josemorelli8170]

Im simply in LOVE with this mod in AMS 2....man, I cant stop playing it, in the past 6 days I have done lots of Long Beach races with Gen 1, 2 and 3...always improving car setups, managing tyre wear. Damn....Reiza did a SUPERB job with it. For so long I didnt feel so happy with a car than with this one. My happiness could be compared to the good old ICR2 times when it came out

[@scottcrawford4655]

That is crazy accurate to real life! I’ve gone to LB since 1993 and photographed it professionally for 8 years and that is really nice. Thanks for posting, I needed to see this before I purchased, much appreciated.

[@derekmccord3798]

As soon as this came out I was like damn I wish they had the old LB layout!

[@camerongreenwoodcrampakacgc.]

1995. My favourite IndyCar Series of all time. Apart from the 1997 CART World Series.

[@Dethmeister]

It's kinda funny, earlier was watching the IMSA qualifying replay video on the IMSA youtube channel and it occurred to me that someone could lose control and easily drive up into the flowers and fountain. I don't know why I never thought of that before in all of the times I've watched racing there. So I left a comment about that and IMSA replied that it had just happened in race 1 of the Porsche Carrera Cup race. One car got up into the flowers, there is a tire wall right in front of the fountain though.

[@ItsAVolcano]

It happened again during the Indycar race this year, Pagenou tried to pass on the fountain and ended up clipping so hard into the garden he got spun completely around and stuck in it.😂

[@de-fault_de-fault]

The turbo noises alone are a massive nostalgia trip…takes me back to sitting in the rickety wooden bleachers at the Meadowlands street circuit as a kid

[@rampski]

Man I'm loving AMS2 lately. It's really coming together. Great vid GPLaps!

[@AuburnKYLE]

Awesome video man! I always love sitting down and learning about the series as well as watch some quality racing with the ai. Keep it up!

[@matiaz0]

what a wonderfull combination... thank you for giving us the ideal races...

[@f1GP69]

It depicts that era of great racing so well.

[@darynhinton5643]

Jordan Taylor driver of the C8.r posted a clip of Patrick Depailler just ripping it throught the streets of Long Beach in 1978

[@joeymacme]

Your passion for classic motorsports comes across in all your videos and it make your content so much more engaging for me. I was watching some Goodwood races live yesterday and I was trying to think which sim racing personality would have an interest in owning & racing a classic racing car if they could afford it. Then I spotted this video. Not sure if you could afford it (I certainly can't right now) but I reckon you would love it.

[@skodarap]

This is probably one of the best combos in AMS2 together with bathtubs of death on historic spa :D

[@jackfinthebox]

Been binging your videos because I really enjoy them, they're really calming in a way. Turns out I was the 1,000th like on this video! :D

[@jbdjbd8922]

First time I have seen this channel. I hafta agree with this version of long beach. Enjoyed the commentary!

[@wiegraf9009]

The sense of speed in AMS2 is tremendous and this video has convinced me to buy an ultra wide monitor!

[@_Lucifer_Sam]

Was there a few years ago. 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽 Long Beach resident 👍🏽 love it!

[@Noukz37]

Oh man, I just remembered how much I used to play CART World Series on PS1... Thanks for reminding me! 😀

[@Villoresi]

It's a tough call, but I think I might just barely prefer the 1999 layout over the 1975-81 configuration, but it's pretty darn close, and they're both very good. I also do like the simplicity and speed of the 1992-98 layout; it's a bit like Vancouver 1993-97 in that respect.

[@vMaxHeadroom]

The historic knowledge you add is immense! Loved the race...And apparently July for the Oval's...

[@DanielRowe13]

I hope we get that Formula 1 layout. like they are doing with Spa and Nurb (watkins historic would be awesome too) Love these cars. Was running this combo earlier today in VR, it's insane!

[@RockyBreaux]

They are doing a historical layout DLC and I think it will bring classic layouts to other tracks other than the premium tracks

[@DanielRowe13]

@@RockyBreaux Thought I read them adding historic layouts somewhere, but couldn't find it so thought maybe I mis-read something. That's what I'm hoping for!

[@P1nkR]

Recurring theme on all your AMS 2 videos are all the things you would like to have added or changed. This leaves me with the impression of "quite immersive to drive in the moment, but don't look for too much beyond that".

[@larryhaines7109]

Yeah AMS2 looks pretty and is great for doing short 20 minute random races, but there is not enough depth yet for it to handle full length races or full championship seasons.

[@GPLaps]

that sums up my feeling pretty well. But it is always improving and I genuinely think theyll fix the outstanding issues

[@P1nkR]

@@GPLaps and ​ @Larry Haines thanks for your thoughts. I recently bought both AMS 1 and 2 and I'm sure looking at these videos I will have a good amount of fun with it.

[@larryhaines7109]

@@P1nkR I still really enjoy AMS1.

[@paulburtwistle5665]

I like AMS2's version of Long Beach. I've run all of the Indycar generations and a mix of GT3/GT4 at the track and its always fun. If you do a 1 or 2 hour race with time progression turned on and also throw in some rain it makes for a brilliant race.

[@brentritchie6199]

[@flyingscottsman2608]

Great finish, love those close battles!

[@theprogwalrus597]

If that dark green Menards car is #60, then that would have been the late Scott Brayton rather than Buddy Lazier.

[@craigyirush3492]

Was there yesterday. Nothing like seeing race cars in person. But shame you can’t run these cars on the 90s layout of the track.

[@antothemanto77]

Great video as always!!

[@therealjuralumin3416]

You should have a go at the 1979 version in rFactor 1, you can get an updated version of the GPC79 F1 mod and trackpack on racedepartment now, It's a blast!

[@FULLNinja69]

Another great video as always. Any interest in doing a new Long Beach video but this time with rFactor 2 now that it has Long Beach?

[@Daz5Daz]

Despite this track having one of the worst corners in all of motorsport, I till love driving this track in sims.

[@sevach]

8:00 about this, i think one of the things that changed between 95 and 98(2000) was the tire war between Goodyear and Firestone that forced Goodyear to make better tires, which still (as general feel of the time) weren't as good as the mighty Firestones, so it's not only aero the 95 machines would have "lazy" tires.

[@foxholiday4308]

I gotta get a PC, I love open wheel racing, but the best sim I have on console is ACC, it seems like PC just has more for someone like me

[@TrainWreck444]

I took the plunge last year and bought a rig and fanatec wheel and pedals... best decision I ever made

[@OhItsThat]

Sim racing/gaming will change for you. It’s whole other world. The amount of stuff, aside from the sim racing if you like fighter jets with DCS, or millsim with Arma and Squad with all the mods is endless. Plus the amount of peripherals for sim racing and flight sims. It’s endless and almost unlimited. VR, triple screens, motion, transducers, wind simulators, hydraulic pedals. Upgrade path too. PC hardware is coming down in price. It might be time my friend.

[@JeredtheShy]

The nice thing about PC racing is that modest GPU power still gets good frame rates and GPU is the pricey bit

[@Cyteless]

It's a worthy investment, the up front cost will be offset by cheaper games.

[@vMaxHeadroom]

Same here with a PC and love ACC but AMS2 is right up there and has only gotten better especially as it has so many other classes of cars and tracks...Massive improvement on driving dynamics and the real time weather/day and night cycles is just immense.

[@Action46MotorMadness]

Gp laps the tire flex is also visible as well in this game

[@shillen65]

Man, how do i love this... I also have spent so much hours with ICR2... Now I ´d like to ask for some technical advise: how is your settings for the steering angle? I think the last hairpin needs some higher value, doesn´t it?

I don't understand many times when I take the first corner I get "track limited" even though I drive very carefully. Long Beach

[@FloridaManRacer]

Imagine if they added the 1989 cars and ovals at the same time? I might have a heart attack if they gave us the 89 cars... (my favorite year)

[@vMaxHeadroom]

As a brit, I got into champ cars when Nigel Mansell went over for the 93 season battling against the likes of Lyundyk, Fittipaldi, Rahal, Tracy and Andretti!!! and just fell in love!

[@VolkerJarschel]

WOW incredible sound! Is this official AMS content or a mod?

[@vMaxHeadroom]

Official content though the skins are a mod you can download for free...They have done an amazing job on the indycar content with great tracks and Oval's to come in July...

[@VolkerJarschel]

@@vMaxHeadroom OK. Thank you very much. 👌🏻

[@gold333]

Dude you need to get Phoenix Firebird raceway (called Wild Horse Pass nowadays), get the PC 21 and use the same setup Senna used on his test in 93. The setup sheet is on the internet. Try to match his time. It’s the holy grail for Indy sim racing.

Oval racing will absolutely need decent AI pit strategy implemented. Sadly that is the reason I hardly play this sim. I enjoy doing long races. It changes how I drive.

[@mtlnascarfan]

LMAO@ 6:10 "Coming up on the inside of Paul Tracy". Really? That would be a trick since he drove the #27 Player's Ltd. car which was nowhere near you when you said you passed him. In fact, he was WAAAAY ahead of where you were.

[@OhItsThat]

My only criticism of these cars is the shifting sound effects. I just don’t understand why they need to make that made up sound so loud. I’ve watched a lot of in car footage and I’ve never heard “clap…clap…clap…clap” every time they shift a gear. With headphones on it’s so loud and distracting. Ha, it drives me crazy for some reason. All we need is a change in engine tone. How cool would an I game EQ if some kind be that would allow us to tweak each sound effect separately. Or at least volume.

[@redwolf1647]
