[@kekke2000]

@@Logan912 If you compare AMS2 to the other big dogs, rFactor 2, AMS1, Raceroom, iRacing etc it does fall a bit short. Still a good game though, especially the graphics and weather.

Great to see Jimmy back in AMS2

[@christopher-vj4hn]

Sim racers are used to racing in the wet because they're always sweaty 😂 love you jimmy

[@foxnetsov]

they weren't aquaplaning on the wets though, numerous radio messages said that the grip was fine but the visibility was the issue. sainz spun because he aquaplaned on intermediates

[@TheAmbasadaRecords]

Great to see Automobilista 2 in VR :) My fav sim in VR implementation.

[@Peterdeskater100]

Quite impressive Jimmie can withstand the atrocious performance in rain racing, perhaps not as bad because no headlights?

@@STVGamingOfficial then you're not using VR or you are in last position. This is not something that runs well on certain machines it's a fundamental issue in the game.

Cool that he touches AMS 2 again. The game completely transformed since his first review,. Still not perfect but the devs are on a good way

Wish you'd try ams2 now the 1.4 update is out, its been an impressive update to a visually stunning vr experience.

I remember back in the days of playing F1 series where I removed assists and drove on wet track with usual medium tires it was fun drifting, the throttle control needed was insane xD

[@PsychoGallagher]

I have been lying in bed all day, feeling more and more sick, not being tested for the C, though. Still I feel anxious about it. While watching this video I realized (once again) how glad I am that Jimmy's out there doing his thing, screaming into the microphone while crashing cars for us. I love you Jimmer and thank you for being here, simply doing your thing and helping me deal with my anxiety and depression ... :) ❤

[@captainemergency7477]

I feel you mate… I’m down with the flu and feel absolutely awful! I do love seeing jimmy doing his thing too

I always like Jimmy trying ams2, slowly turning his opinion, less so than most others, but slowly, still acknowledging the direction is right. I'm in love with this title

[@brasslion4176]

Good to see you doing content like this again ! Keep having fun man love the ams 2 hype as well !

[@mainantagonist]

Shorter videos that pop: Judging Sim Fails, Crazy Mod Tests, (like V10 F1 cars with slicks, or other "What If" scenarios,) AND any video that shocks, surprises, elates, pleases, teaches, or makes Jimmer emote. Also, I would watch the fuck out of Jimmer judging his own Sim fails. Talk about comedy gold.

[@dottacommenti3086]

9:24 Doc Hudson taught you well Jimmy

[@Dannykm]

Nice one, Jimmy. It certainly feels like the FIA and Formula 1 played Automobilista 2 in conditions like in the video and determined that no one will be able to drive a Formula 1 car in the wet ever again.

[@sombraarthur]

Try to get Ventury effect with water and air combined... Then get back here, and tell me how it went. I will be waiting, with your melted down floor of the crashed car due to cavitation.

[@MMM-wg2vm]

Driving in full wet starting behind anyone is crazy. You see just about as much as a blind person with a bucket over their head.

[@broeretop1]

You'll still see more than Stroll though

[@maidenFRENZY]

I love the Tatsuro Yamashita in the background every once and awhile

[@truehunger108]

The spray is the reason I dislike the regulations. The airflow from the cars makes the spray spread out like a peacocks tail, unlike before where it was more streamlined.

[@timmypunt3565]

Exactly. The window of the full wet is when the spray with the current aero regs is too much to race. So the inter is faster when there is still too much spray with the interst not clearing water of the track fast enough. Also, spray in this game seems to be a lot more tolerable then the last wet race start irl.

[@Tots06108]

Amazing Accuracy with the Sainz crash! GG

[@MaxDad7]

It can't be stressed enough how dangerous it is to be driving in the wet. Pirelli did great in meeting demands to shed water off the tires, but the lugs are so big that the car becomes unpredictable once they warm up and experience some Gs. Here's to hoping the FIA either a) doesn't push drivers to race in unsafe conditions (looking at Suzuka), or b) working with the teams and Pirelli in making a stable tire for wets. Ya I get it, it really sucks when a race gets cancelled but it's not worth the drivers or staff injuring themselves, or worse.

[@JustSomeDinosaurPerson]

Another good solution would be to work with engineers on adding detachable parts to the cars that help to stabilize them in the wet. Teams fit them on when the conditions are wet, and pit to remove them when track dries up.

[@bozwellox]

Great to see some VR sim racing twattery from Jimmer. Love it. More please Jamble!

Bro, "viciously shat yourself" 👌🤣

[@lewisgordon1490]

+1 on the terror (but required if there’s a chance of passing) of following another car in the wet. I’ve seen on board vids of full rain in several cars, the worst being NASCAR @ COTA. The spray from other cars was so bad that when another car spun & was sitting perpendicular on the track another coming up @ only ~ 80% of the speed he could have been going (bk of the poor visibility) suddenly T-boned that car @ 90 mph (~110-120 b4 he hit the breaks) w/ maybe 1/4 sec reaction time. I was AMAZED neither driver had any serious injuries after that impact. I can’t imagine driving at race pace at like eau rouge in the rain w/ any cars anywhere near the front of my car. I have seen some on boards of slower vehicles (Eg karts) w/ heavy rain & the slower speeds kicks up the h2o much less, so @ 60-70 mph, it still would be very challenging, not impossible to see like above. I couldn’t imagine racing in anything as fast or faster as a GT3 or F3 car. Practice laps, no problem, but to race like 4:19 that is too terrifying to consider.

[@unfortunately_fortunate2000]

I LOVE the way AMS2 feels atm but unfortunately my PC is dead so I cannot play it :( thank you for the content on it jimmer! it'll be difficult to have a ground effect aero based f1 car that can run safely in the wet, because they throw the air up above the following car any part of a circuit that doesnt get goodish airflow will be impossible to see anything on (tbf even the parts of suzuka that did have some wind were pretty bad too), plus that rooster-tail ends up washing the spray out wide. as a side note it does perfectly visualize how the new regs work & shows that although these new cars can follow way closer if you have a 3 car train the aerowash can/does end up effecting both the people behind the person leading the train pretty severely if everyone is around a second apart, you could see when Charles would touch a wet patch of the track when Sergio was slipstreaming him just how harsh the dirty air can be on a street or street circuit. wet races really demonstrate all the engineering that goes into f1 the rain really helps you see how the aero is work in real time, but the way these new cars pickup water off the track at race speed with the floors let alone wet weather tyres is insane, I don't see how the FIA could ever solve that issue imo.

[@kon0212]

DONT FORGET BOUT THE EXTREMES! They were planning on using em for monaco! like bruh, why even make an extreme tire for snowy and black ice like track surface, or too much rain, just to not use it and think properly XD. I would LOVE to see them use extremes for the first damn time. it would revolutionize f1 massively

You haven't mentioned that spray on your helmets visor would make visibility way worse than in this simulation. Not sure if the F1 had some in-helmet footage of the recent races but I guess that would be another big part of the problem. How anticipate what you can't see...?

[@DerpSherman]

Well,there is the footage from Alonso's helmet in the last couple of turns against Vettel in Japan,the visibility was kind of limited in his visor

[@SoupyTofu]

Jimmy, im not sure if im correct but with rainfx in Assetto corsa you can see how high the MM of water is on each part of the track. since the rain drops are individual entities, you should try it out in assetto the rain is really really good

[@massimilianolettieri8524]

Just a minor thing: "even with this chunky tires" isn't actually a fair statement, since the chunkier the tyre the higher the exposure to aquaplaining. That's why in extreme weather conditions you see the SC having almost no problems, since it has normal slim road tires on.

Great content as always. But still question is why "back in my days" they could drive with same visibility, less downforce and skinnier tyres, but not now even with all new safety measures?! Meanwhile FIAWEC can race in hecking snow(ask Alonso). It's just sad.
