The key to understanding AMS2's handling characteristics are rooted in the tires and how the ffb interprets self-aligning torque and slip angles. Naturally, self-aligning torque from the tires falls off prior to peak grip due to changes in the pneumatic trail, believe it or not. In AMS2 and in real life when this happens steering forces start to go light and a sensation of sliding occurs as the tires reach peak slip angle and grip. Although it may seem to feel this way, the tires in AMS2 are not actually sliding more than what one would expect at the point of peak grip. Typically 5-8% tire slip is the peak grip comfort zone. Anyone can confirm this with telemetry. Its the sensation vis-a-vis the ffb's interpretation of forces that is the most perceptible change for the player and may create an illusion of sliding, more than the slide itself. At the point of peak slip/grip, when the steering is light, the goal for the driver is to maintain neutral steer, and there are dynamic factors involved with that, including to a large degree, the cars natural balance, setup balance, state of the tires, state of the track surface (bumps, rubbering, wetness, debris) and in no small part, driver inputs themselves. In other words "driving on the edge" stands out. Its a sensation that a growing number of sim racers are beginning to enjoy, but are afraid to admit it because the overall reception of these dynamics are deemed to be less than realistic. The truth is they are wholly rooted in real life vehicle and tire dynamics, which is one of the advantages of a physical tire model. It can't be faked. Its just the sensation that is different. (Another area of note is the fact that historically, AMS2 has tended to be more driver friendly when going past peak slip/grip compared to other sims. This is true. This can be off-putting to sim racers used to a less forgiving model, but this is a matter of degree, current design and the staged development with the tire model. It has been correctly observed universally by the community as having been dialed in somewhat. What the future holds in this area remains to be seen, but its certainly close as is, but arguably be closer.) Ultimately, the above isn't meant to admonish anyone's preferences in the way they like their sim to express these types of things. Instead, simply to highlight that many of the behaviors of the cars and tire model that may seem unique to AMS2 are indeed based on real life vehicle dynamics. From the tire, to the springs, through the steering rack and finally through the FFB. Its simply AMS2s interpretation. Nevertheless, the conviction to improve all areas of physics remains a hallmark at Reiza, which I believe most of the community appreciates. Thanks for the video RCS, good faith criticism serves the community well, and can indeed be motivation for changes. Best of luck to you and thanks for your time.

I am halfway through 24h le mans with the 963 and it is incredible! The new driver swap is a game chnager and the dynamic weather is just phenomenal, this is the best single-player racing experience ever!

Project Cars 2 is such an underrated sim, especially on console. Hard to get a better multiclass endurance experience on console

The lateral movement in the turns arrived after the update that introduced tyre flex. I noticed it being more obvious in the faster cars like group c at Spa Historic, before that update you could yeet the car through T16 flat out but afterwards the tyre flex could cause the car to wobble side to side and could fling you off track.

The LMDH cars feel solid, not super dissimilar to how they feel on iRacing, or with the RSS on AC, in my opinion. The sounds are a little underwhelming, and the physics still throw me off sometimes. But if Reiza get some Hypercars as well, then LMU is practically obsolete to me. But to have up to date prototypes in the game is fantastic, they look amazing.

Thanks for showing off the Bugatti circuit - totally overlooked it but seems an excellent replacement for Hungaroring or Magny-Cours in F1 calendars.

I agree on the GT3's needing a little love in AMS2 but giving Iracing the praise is kinda wild I won't lie. The GT3's in Iracing fall flat in comparison to ACC in regards to their sound, feeling and models. Only thing I dislike is the curbs in ACC however Iracing has it's own woes.

Congrats on 65k 😊 I think the M4 GT3 is the same in every sim 😂 the track looks really pretty but I can't get on with the AMS2 handling still.

would be great to have your review for Raceroom the last update

If/when they add the LMH cars, it'll be interesting to hear how different the FWD hybrid deployment feels to the LMDh's RWD deployment

Put camera movement to legacy mode, the camera view pitches in corners otherwise and it makes it feel like the car is sliding all the time.

Fair and accurate. Thanks for this RC. You nailed it.

boas nao tens canal de corridas em portugues??

Bugatti Circuit really is under used. Such a cool track

It's too bad the Old Mulsanne track wasn't included. My favorite challenge is running the Sauber C9 vs LMP1 in Project Cars 2, with the AI turned all the way up, but the physics are better and there's no stuttering in AMS 2. Buenos Aires #12 or Bathurst 1983 in a C9 against anyone, anytime.

I haven’t tried it yet but I’m worried the track is gonna feel dead from lack of surface detail like the Project Cars versions. None of the cars are very detailed in AMS2 compared to other titles.

I been playing project cars 2 last 2 weeks on ps5 i am ènjoying it again works grest on controller, and g29 wheel , been on Le Mans circuit and vintage one . Well done tracks ,i am installing Ams2 again see what new update is like .

Bugatti circuit gets tons of play in GT7 for credit grinding purposes

Sauber C9 on the the old Mulsanne....

my main issue with this game is the fact that everything feels so floaty and the rear tends to break out very often,i drive the exact same way in every other sim i play but yet ams2 is the only one that behaves like that, very weird

i kinda like it but gt3 are just way too drifty. throws me off so bad :c

AMS2 now patched to put this and the endurance pack as DLC for a very reasonable price.

PC2 is the best version of LeMans for me, drives so good

High aero cars are still odd in AMS2. As you described they have this push-catch-push-catch kind of feel in the corners. I don't know if it's aero or diff or something else, but it's odd.

I'm not a fan of the GT3-cars in AMS2, but I don't like GT3-cars in ACC, iRacing and rF2 as well because they all do some BS I don't see in onboards. Actually the Audi GT3 in Forza feels the best and it's a beast😀What I prefer about AMS2 is, that ridiculous oversteer-setups won't work in terms of laptimes like they do in ACC and iRacing. And there are also more ways than one to be fast, but to be fair: GT3-cars seems also odd IRL and I would probably suck.

Isn’t a risk to drop this when Le man Ultimate is coming ? I would prefer a historic le man endurance reinforce for AMS2. AMS2 found their niche his the historic f1 pack so why go away from that ?

Finally I got here first!

I feel like a lot of cars in AMS2 does that "start turning, stop turning". Almost as if it's a canned effect, but it's more likely a feedback loop of some kind. It doesn't feel realistic either way.

I think it's hilarious that a single player sim with no driver swaps is releasing an endurance pack.

Really? You think the iRacing GT3's are better than AMS? I agree that AC is better but iRacing? No way....

Cornering issues in automobilista 2 are clearly expressed!

Another five years, maybe ten, AMS2 might actually match the content and features of Project Cars 2… 😂

Personally I would pay to have all GT3 cars removed from AMS2 and for that matter every other driving game/sim and give them all to ACC. They are the most boring pointless cars to race ever. However, many like them, so each to their own. I think the two Le mans tracks are excellent and I cannot wait for the historical versions to join historical Monza 10k and Spa in AMS2 as the best tracks so far to drive and race.

Lemans with only lmdh 😅 imsa gtp 😅 intresting 😅

The road surface looks incredibly flat and dull, Circuit de la Sarthe really isn't that interesting, and the handling is far too slidey. Other than that, it's a solid 7/10.
