By now, GPLaps has become my favourite sim racing channel on RU-vid. Please just continue what you do. I would also like to see a little more online racing here.
Just brilliant content every single time. It’s been years since Jimmy mentioned you in a random stream and I tuned in but I’m so glad I did. Everyone rightly loves Jimmy and Super GT, but for the older gentleman your stuff is brilliant - I won’t miss yours, Daniel Morads, or Dave Cams content - Keep it coming mate and thank you. 🙏🏼
Yes! 71 laps is the proper way to race. And talking about full races, time is near we'll have Le Mans in AMS2 with multiclass races. Two or three hours long races will be a blast for sure.
Type in 'onboard Schumacher 1993' on RU-vid, and there's short videos with ford telemetry. It shows just how quick this benetton was, but also just how accurate this game is!!! The Canada video also shows schumacher pressing a button to activate his 'DRS' suspension for increased speed. Great video GP laps, great 2hrs of content, thank you .
That was fun to watch and brought back some fond memories. I would love to see you recreate Senna's final GP win in Adelaide, if you don't stream an entire '93 season.
This was Mika Hakkinen's first race with McLaren -- which he ends up binning it on the straight. Berger with a bizarre pit exit crash almost taking out Wendlinger -- blamed on his automatic suspension. That's what I rem about Estoril '93.
Great race, thank's for choosing Estoril, not an usual choice of track to show. 93 was the las time with this fantastic layout, after all the deaths of 94 the FIA emforced a lot of security changes and just killed this track. Still always a pleasure to watch and another fantastic win. Congrats from Portugal!
I remember this race quite well...i was there in my early seventeen years old! I also watched live in 86 and 96. In 93 Alesi took thd lead in Villeneuve style with Ayrton behind. I'm sure the Brazilian would win the race if it wasn't for the engine trouble. Great entertainment. BTW, Cascais is a town nearby...
Sadly missed the livestream, but that looked a blast. Excellent content as ever. Maybe one of Richie Axelson's relatives was an F1 driver in the 90s....
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Turned a few laps last night and just snuck into the 15s. DRS with the suspension only netted me an extra 4kph down the front straight, every little helps I guess!
Finally caught up with this, utterly fun to follow and look forward trying some AMS2 again myself after really diving into a season of iRacing. I'll no doubt be trying some of the COPA classic stuff as racing those old bangers has always been such fun in AMS2
You should do a full 93 season in the second McLaren. Beat Senna in the same car. Be the American talent that Ron Dennis was looking for in Michael Andretti.
It was called the Drag Reduction System back then, too. So in reality the modern DRS is more accurately called a HAADRS. (Homologated Active Aerodynamic Drag Reduction System).
Search Big Zeddie on youtube, he's got a terrific collection of vintage f1 races. Sometimes full races, sometimes just longer highlights. Well worth following.
2 awesome ways: #1 is RU-vid season reviews, they got some in 50fps "HD"! But, the coverage of each race can be quite short and skips over lots of things, even big details or background knowledge. (These season reviews basically do race recaps, or summaries and don't go too deep). #2 The actual F1 app, its 10 bucks a month, but 100% worth it to binge watch all the seasons in a month(actually there is so much content it would take a few months to watch it all). The F1 app has literally every season from 1970-2023. Including the "in reviews" (Murray Walker or others review the races/season in hindsight with all the backstory) and also the "highlights" videos showing all the highlights of the race (and these video's seem to be made right after the race instead of at the seasons end "in review" if that makes sense). And then the F1 app also has the full race broadcasts too. So I recommend the F1 app, and maybe some RU-vid documentarys or season reviews for certain seasons, because only some of the RU-vid video ones go in as much detail as the official F1 stuff.
Hey, great video. I wonder what type of wheel you are using, I did read in the info that you using Fanatec stuff, but when I looked at Fanatecs website, I could not find any wheel that looks like yours. What model name does your wheel have?
Regarding the layout, it's pretty much the same now, the only major change is on the Sector 3, where there is now a chicane before the last big right corner. Currently, that layout is still used on some press events, since it is easier on the car brakes
I did some 50 minutes + 1lap races yesterday mandatory pit stop for tyres and fuel. I noticed the AI are not affected by how much fuel they carry, they set the same lap times over and over. Where as the player with a full tank you lose seconds per lap at Daytona in the DPI. I’ve had to turn fuel useage OFF for the playing field to be level.
If they can fix the amount of corner cutting and for no reason going off track and bringing tonnes of mud on to the track the ai do each race, along with ai actively blocking / covering off the inside line and apex it would be near perfect. Race kyalami modern and Suzuka, it’s so irritating that after three Laps with 30 ai cars, they turn those circuits in to RX tracks and ruins the whole experience. I wish we could turn mud on track off.
What wheel are you using? I'm having a difficult time trying to find a smaller diameter round wheel that fits the Podium hub that doesn't break the bank.
Great video ! May i ask you if you know how to simulate a real historical starting grid in ams2 (in case you don´t want to make the qualification). I tried , but i probably missed something (or it is a very bad point for ams2 as an historical simracing platform)
i did belgium spa 2020 in a williams @100\high and the dirty air was awful. Also u can tweak tc and gearbox. up auto and down manual is ok. Full auto is bad because about downshifts .
It was to do with costs. I am sure Ferrari would have easily got active suspension sorted as they had the money. It was the lower teams that’s just couldn’t compete. Ferrari haven’t won a Championship since 2007 so that argument is void
@@ELUSIVEJIM The current power units were supposed to be four cylinder hybrid Ferrari is the one that demanded they were V6... Ferrari has also had veto power that no other team has ever had... So not void
The costs of running an F1 team were spiralling + the financial crashes of the mid 90s + CART was increasing in popularity significantly + most people dont like it when the car plays a bigger role than driver in F1
@@R9naldo definitely agree it's never just one thing... Actually agreeing doesn't matter those are all facts to buy point remember Ferrari was testing a cart car at the time also probably just a bluff but still a good one!
He does the DRS explanation here: 8:38 and basically the 90s DRS was different, it did not move the rear wing, but instead adjusted the suspension and raised or lowered the car to reduce drag and make them go much much faster on the straights. I forgot about it sinfe its been awhile, but I vividly remeber watching videos & learning about these early 90s F1 cars just flying down the straight with crazy sparks because of their DRS systems. So I recommend watching some youtube videos of the real cars using the DRS in real life, it was pretty cool. You could literally see the cars suspension adjusting as they went to fly down the straight.
Was this shifting method with auto-Up and manual down selectable in the new update? Or are you doing an override? I get OCD on having accurate shifting in sims and am curious how this works.ha Other than that, we need some Group C love!
Thats like, the easiest time to oversteer a F1 car, of basically any year in any sim. I almost exclusively drive F1 cars on Asseto Corsa, Rfactor 2, AMS 1 & 2 and use a direct drive wheel - and I've personally found that most the F1 cars from the 90s onward (and honestly, all eras of F1 to varying degrees) can be "slid" or use the pedal to rotate the car on those slow medium speed corners. If you try to do anything like that at highspeed though: then youll either catch it very quickly or crash it very quickly. I really don't think it is that unrealistic, he is using a Benetton, and this track Estoril has the perfect type of elevations and banking on the track combined with the type of turns that can cause you to to easily spin or lose traction if your not careful. Thats why this track is so fun. I spent tons of hours ripping around Asseto Corsa with the 1991 cars on this Estoril track (1988 version) and thats just how this track is, the elevation changes, banking, and turns themselves basically make it so you feel like you can/want to slide the cars around a bit and use the throttle to rotate around the corners more than normal. And the banking + elevation changes in combination with the turns allow you to do things with the car you normally could not do as easily. Also you have to remeber these cars have driving aids, like traction control - and guess what cars are notorious for slides and controlled oversteer? The 2001-2008 cars, schumacher era. Just watch videos from back then, the grooved tires + traction control enabled the drivers to kind of "power slide" the cars around certain parts of corners when normally it would be do risky to do.
@@nicklibby3784traction control was literally created to help stop power sliding amongst the other obvious traction related..lmao because when you are sliding you don’t have traction ya know 😂
@@RonniePeterson Reiza haven't driven any either. There is next to no data for these cars (CL, CD alone. Suspensions? None.) we basically have to use critical thinking to assume how they should feel. AMS2 does a pretty good job. Its just that the tyres in AMS2 are too 'flexy' and not 'static' enough
Why would u want low aggression.back in 90s didn't have the blue flags shit got today it wad up to.u to get bye hence your skill that's why senna WAZ so good
lol they absolutely had blue flags in the 90s. They were actually becoming increasingly more common through the 70s and 80s, although obeying them back then was merely a matter of sportsmanship rather than a hard rule. You've probably seen clips of James Hunt complaining about drivers ignoring blue flags, like in Monaco '89 when Senna got bottled up behind Rene Arnoux. By the 90s you could be penalized for not yielding after a few corners. It's definitely more strict today than back then.
