- P4 cars at Bathurst... it's the most ""low""" powered with high precision driving that we can have on this treacherous track. - Copa Truck at Tarumã, it's one of the most interesting races in the real category because it give a feeling of fast paced race, but these never-ending corners force a lot of small mistakes that presents the drivers with more overtake opportunities. - Monaco with the Chevette, because this track can be boring to fast cars (that won't get too much of overtaking opportunities), but other thing is to drift all that sht on the thigh hairpins (compatible with Eurobeat). - Old Interlagos with any of the Opalas... because, back in the day, that was The Greatest Venue on Brazilian motorsports. - Any USA track with the Copa Montana... because this car is the most AmurikaYeah thing in Brazil (not just in this name) and can be easy mistaken with a "NASCAR-lite" that could be real. The same goes to the Omega. - Entry level open wheel cars at Kyalami. The South African track is one of the best. Maybe it's a too demanding track to faster Formula 1 cars... certainly the GT3 and 4 cars are too uninteresting for it... but entry level formula cars fit perfectly. It can be nice for some GT1 race if the player is more experienced. - Formula 1 at Spa... because fck that GT3 sht. - GT3/4/5 at Nordschleife... because these cars are well fit for endurance and their boringness (the GT3... because I find the GT4 a little more alive and the GT5 are slow, but surprisingly precise... unfortunately, a too much underrated category, IMHO). See... I'm not a GT3 hater... just think folks are not racing these cars at the most interesting venues for it. - Group C at older Spa (with or without the chicane). A huge challenge to find the ideal setups and a test to racing strategy, specially with multiplayer. - Any really old F1 car at Velocitta. This is the modern racing venue that better suits older F1 cars because of it's variety of segment types, it's moderated track width and focuses on low and medium speed, but presenting a great myriad of overtaking spots. It will make the "non aero" parts of these cars work harder without getting too boring (as Monaco can be) or too dangerous (as Nords, Hocken, Monza and Mt Panorama)... not as flat as Snetterton and old Silverstone. - Copa Classic at Cadwell Park. I find this track one of my favorites, but it claims for low powered cars... or under-200Kg bikes... but that is a combo for another game. - Caterham at Donington... because it is what The Gentlemen do. - Any Indycar at Monza (specially the 1991 version of the track)... because it's the best racing combo that never happened and probably will never happen. The fastest formula cars racing at The Temple of Speed. That is not some crp "high speed chess", it's a "ultra fast Starcraft" with racing cars. But... yeah, try racing the freaking oval. It's some Lord of the Rings level of fantasy, because AMS2 don't simulate blackouts caused by high g-levels, so it's a RL not happening thing, as Indycar at Daytona, and BOT it's some major immersion breaker for any concerned parts... but... even them - Finally... just anything at Suzuka. It's one of my TOP3 favorite racing venues (with Interlagos and Nords), but it's the most forgotten track in AMS2 videos. People just never race there. It's not that less rare in any other sim videos. I just can't race enough there... be with AMS2, Ride 4 (it's a even greater heresy to forget it with bike racing than with cars). Slow, fast, heavy, light, two or four wheels, rain or clear skies... no matter what vehicle, time of the day or climate, it will fit Suzuka and deliver great racings. Cheers!
Mate what a class set of suggestions! This will keep me going all month! Got another ams 2 video coming soon but I’ll try and cover some of these in the one to follow!
AMS2 is an absolute goldmine for race combination you can not find anywhere else. I personally love a lot of the South American tracks as they are very different to what you'd normally find elsewhere in the world
Good tips for the South American content. Having only had a few attempts in AMS2, I’ve only ever tried the tracks I already know. It’s too easy to overlook the tracks you’ve never heard of, which is exactly what I’ve done! So hopefully I’ll get some time to explore the unknown a bit more!
I was te same Chris, overlooked all the unknown South American tracks forever until my community kept on suggesting them. now I can't keep off them, like Ben showcased Ibarra really is a masterpiece but there are a very large handful of glorious South American tracks in the game.
Porsche GTE at Bathurst - do a 12hr Day/Night. Also Formula Junior around Monaco using a shifter. Also Adelaide historic with McLaren MP4/4 using a shifter - absolute blast!
Great video, Ben that game looks amazing. I wish I had more time to try out all the sims, tracks and racing out there but I would like to stay married :)
AMS2 certainly has pockets of inconsistency (i.e., the Madness engine is well-named), but there are so many enticing car & track combinations where the starts align. In addition to Cascavel, the Autódromo Internacional de Guaporé is a fantastic location to explore the limits of any car in AMS2. Small question: In the video, you mention that you hadn't downloaded any skins or driver mods, yet the F-Classic Gen1 (1986) AI drivers are identified as "Palmer" and "Dumfries", which are not their default names in the sim. Were these labels simply added in post-production?
Hey John! Cheers for watching buddy! Totally agree re variety of content! And yeah that’s me adding those in post production for a bit of fun and immersion in the video (and cos I’m a nerd 😅)
Being a big fan of late 90's CART IndyCar racing, I immediately bought the Racing USA packs and downloaded the skins from RaceDepartment. As mentioned they are fun and challenging to drive. Keep up the great video content for AMS2 and RaceRoom, both which are favourites of mine
Good video, there are some great cars in AMS2 and a few awful ones too. Glad you mentioned the AI bunching together, I’ve been really struggling to find settings that give a realistic feeling against the AI. As there is no career mode and little multiplayer action I find myself playing it far less now.
Glad you corrected and I was able to help. 😊 I get triggered every time someone mistakes its with it's and viceversa, but that's probably just me being dumb
