AMS2 is really doing it for me at the moment. Will give some of these a go for sure.

Edit: nevermind.

Great game especially if you like F1 but the A.I is pretty ropey with the faster cars. Hard to even get a decent race never mind a season.

Excellent and concise article about some tremendous content!

Thank you very much!

Still hoping for the day I get to see an AMS 2 article without constant complaining…. Appreciate the article for what it is bringing you!

It is an amazing collection of F1 cars and history. I can’t think of an unmodified game that comes close.

Great article! some of the headings are incorrect though. 2019 is listed as Gen2 while in reality it's Gen 1. Same with V10 Gen 1 page.

Whoops! Easy to lose track of things with all these car names

Thank you for spotting, it's fixed now!

Thank you for this overview of AMS2´s Formula car portfolio - multo appreciated.

Maybe I should try some of the older one again.
Because half a year back I couldnt get out of some of the really old ones soon enough
- because they did behave completely awfull.
Personally I can recommend the F-Reiza and the 2x F-Ultimates.

But I have to disagree that the F-Classics should include some kind of reborn Lotus 98T.
No.

None of these cars does behave like this great car in as example rF2 and specially like the 98T in AC.
Reizas is a meh meh version compared to these 2 other sim incarnations of the 98T.

Great Sim and great collection open wheelers , Reiza rocks @ the moment , love it and play it now most of the time. Hope now more GT1 / Group C and GT3 brands to come....there a lot of great old tracks to come .....

Just got AMS2 and was astounded by the base selection of cars. (Can't afford the DLC.) Amazing stuff, especially when fully skinned up.

Good to see AI being a focus as well. Though my brief experience it'd be nice if AI actually passed each other in qualifying.

Now if only the open wheeler AI could run a full race without ramming you in weird spots...

The Formula Retro Series are really rocking, especially when paired with some Retro filters.
But not easy to drive....

Interesting....I've done tons of ai sessions lately in tin tops and can't say I've even received a slight tap from them.

My biggest gripe, was that they had an imaginary bubble around them that fills them with fear whenever a human got near them, causing them to breakdown, give up and run away lol

Ai strength 110
Aggression 100

Do you have any footage you can upload?

gamma123152 · Apr 21, 2022

I hope that more public online lobby's will use the historic Formula 1 cars.

Almost all of them are awesome to drive with, especially on the historical tracks; one of the best things that sim racing has to offer imo.

Metla · Apr 22, 2022

Thank you, great article. I've skimmed through the Open Wheeler content a few times and been thoroughly confused as to what its all meant to represent.

The ideal would be a custom launcher that brings all the open wheel content and applicable tracks to the forefront and lines it all up for easy access.

Guess I better go see if there are skin packs for the generic car sets.....

why they have a ignore button

bloody handy

Kevin Troschinski · Apr 22, 2022

Yeah the content is really great but somehow especially the open wheelers are making absolutely no fun for me in AMS2.

Cant really explain why. Iprefer the AC ones, the originals and especially some well known mods.
