I was on the fence about this app but it does look cool, shame its not more integrated but until Reiza get their finger out with a career mode this looks like a great alternative.
It’s a great alternative and gives a great incentive to racing all types of cars. I deffo recommend giving it try. I always said Reiza need to work on Multiplayer but this shows the offline elements also need some updates too. Fingers crossed for 2023!
That's a great addon for some extra game to the game. I think Billy Strange did something like this with GTR 2 a while back with his own homebrew career setup and it looked like fun. Gonna check this out. Thanks for sharing.
Ah that’s great and you’re welcome. It brings some much needed life into a custom champion which I feel AMS2 lacks. Which it shouldn’t, as it’s mainly an offline game ha!
Cheers buddy! I’m with you! it’s great to drive different cars and this gives a great incentive to try them out. I did try the go karts first but that turned into a cluster of nightmares 😆
Awesome mod Ricardo :) it’s brought so much life into a championship and I can see so many enjoying it. Thank you for putting the time in to make this!
@@WillOnWheels Mind if i share this video in our Discord? It might help some people with install and understanding the game basics (for those who skip the user manual :p )
Not at all please do :) the first time I installed it, I also rushed passed the manual ha! So I sat down a second time and made sure to check everything properly :)
This does look very good…. Although, I wish it was more integrated…. for example, I could do a race (or not), and enter whatever duff info I wanted, and still make it work… I forgot to say, very good video! I wasn’t even aware of this.
Volkswagen Gol is a car made for the South America Market, it's a smaller and more simple version of VW Polo. It is the most popular car in Brazil and it's a ''Top Seller Car in Brazil''. The Classic Cup is a Brazilian Championship with Old School Cars, it still exists and they race in FIA standards circuits like Interlagos, the cars are actually from 80s and 90s era. In the 1980s, Car Imports were not allowed in Brazil so people only had few options from Ford, Chevy, VW, FIAT and some domestic cars made in Fiber Glass like PUMA (The one that looks like a Ferrari Dino).
I remember someone saying something diligent before, I’m not sure if it was you or not but I read up on all the models and found it was a great read. To me it was just another car but knowing the history makes me appreciate these cars a lot more
Thanks for the walk through Will. I honestly thought it was integrated, and it started the races automatically. Bit of a bum you need to enter your own results. I'd obviously have to cheat myself. 😁 If you fancy an AMS2 online race sometime, I race with a small group of decent fellas who all love AMS2. You're very welcome to join. If you ever see a Lobby called Debby, that's moi. 👊
Did you try completing the VW Hot Car Cup? I cant get within 14 seconds of the AI per lap. I'm usually plenty fast, but these drivers are on another level. For reference my best lap at Buenos Aires No 6 is 2:11. The AI were putting down 1:57's . Anyone else tried this or am I just terrible at driving these VW's?
Nice Will. Ya this is great! Not sure if you should dump your lease if you have 2 more races next month to run in copa. Might have to pay the one time fee again. Just keep lease till series over? I’m into June. So fun.
That’s Kevin, great to see so many Using the app :) I couldn’t see any more races after February and only saw 4 in total so thought that was the season over 🤦🏻 if there’s more that’s great and I’ll deffo keep the car ha! It’s so unpredictable off throttle :)
@@WillOnWheels you can check “schedule” I think the button is, and it shows you upcoming months without actually “advancing”. That way you can set the real weather and date to the same month as the events take place :)
Ah you mean the calendar, I did check but couldn’t see any other races for the Copa classics after Feb. I did some digging and noticed each time you start as a new sim racer career the races are alternated. So if you chose the same cup at the start in Jan it will have different tracks each time. Looking in the files it works on a grading system and also shows you which months the car classes are running. There’s a few random variants which I think gives it a good longevity
Hi Will, you don't show how to get into the race, and how to import or activate drivers roster. I'm not sure how you get into the race. I think it would be nice to make a career this way
Hi Lejo, to enter the race you must go into the game itself and setup what you need. If you have multiple races you must make a custom championship with the information but if a single race you can select single race in automobilista. They are not connected in anyway and the Racing Life app is only a companion. Unfortunately i do not know how to setup custom rosters. If I figure it out I will make a pinned comment here. Hope this helps :)
I'm trying to register for Copa Classic B as my first series, but the register button is not available. Do I have to set up the championship with those four tracks in the game first?
Hi Paul, you first have to purchase a car in the companion app, one that is usable in the class you select. It's best to lease them at the start. once done, setup the race in ams2 then once completed, return to the RL Companion app to fill in the details. I hope this helps.
@@WillOnWheels I have a Copa B car leased, but I don't see Autoclub Speedway in my list of tracks. I ensured that I only checked off the Spa, Hockenheim and Nurburgring DLCs that I own. Might I not have Autoclub? Thanks...
I guess I thought that the app was intelligent enough to only show me events that I had content for, but that might not be the case. So instead I leased a car in the Copa FL class, and set up a series in the game with the required tracks. I hit Start in game, but still cannot access the Register button in the app.
Unfortunately it’s just a companion but acts more in a way of a data program. I’m not sure as to why it’s doing this, if you have the correct car and then select the correct competition it should allow you to register. It may be a help to join their discord at the link below. The creator and others players should be able to assist. discord.com/invite/Kx8x3mtKnC
Thanks for the video. Great effort from the app developper but there is no way I’m driving a fiat uno or some old chevrette cars. Though I suppose I could cheat my way until i get to a more interesting driving class
You can actually select how you start so if you didn’t want to drive the Copa classics you can enter into bigger races such as gt3 with a higher fame and money starting point :)
I’m not sure where your being charged £11 to buy mods or applications but this all free. Follow this link www.racedepartment.com/downloads/racing-life-ams-2-career-mode-companion-app.55558/updates
Basically, the app allows me to cheat and steal money by putting #1 in all the slots when I am actually last in the race lol. This is NUTS!!! If Reiza installed and used the same concept, I am probably very disappointed...I think it's boring. I prefer something where I can pick my own favorite cars and race with the big boys right on the get go. IN other words, I prefer my career start in a little more mature state...not like a poor cashless homeless dude lol.
Haha well yeah but you’re only cheating yourself. Also you don’t have to start homeless, in the video I show that you can start with 250k cash and enter strait into a gt3 comp. The choice is available on f you want to start at the top or from the bottom.
I was interested until I found out it's almost entirely unintegrated and is effectively an excel sheet with some extra features. A big disappointing honestly.

I’m excited to start one :) this should bring so much life into a championship and allow everyone to vote on what class I should do :)
Well done Will, nicely explained. It's definitely a fun experience and it's giving me more of a reason to race obscure car/track combos. 💯🙂
Cheers buddy! I’m with you! it’s great to drive different cars and this gives a great incentive to try them out. I did try the go karts first but that turned into a cluster of nightmares 😆
@@WillOnWheels 😂 I just can't race them either, might have to spend some quality time on those little beasts 👍🏾
Same haha. I turn the wheel a few centimetres and next minute I’m facing the wrong way 😆

OMG!! This is so f*****g addictive! 😱😱😱
Haha I’ve not got myself fully setup yet but I’m eager to get going! Great to hear so many enjoying it :)
love this, want this for every sim
Very helpful. Thanks! 🏎
So you can put the race results you want, what's the point ?
This really feels like it should had been a mobile app
This looks great, thanks! New sub!
You’re welcome Jefferey! Thank you for the sub :)
Damn looks fun! Gonna try it!
Its really good! It add so much depth to a championship now and it encourages you to drive cars you wouldn’t normally :)

@@lejolj5024 That's great to hear! good luck in your Championship :)
Hi, I have a problem with the dlc tracks. I have all but if I want to select them, the application just stops working. Can somebody help me??
I cannot register for any race. Is it because I have no DLCs? I only own the game with no Packs. Thx
What if you only have a c drive
Gol is smaller than Golf
Is it the equivalent to a VW polo?
so glad you like it, it is fun huh?
It is indeed :) I think I’ll start a new championship in the coming weeks and drop some streams :)

How come.u don't tell people u have to pay
Hi can u use cm to install this.thanks
You don't need to. It's a standalone application which doesn't run in game :)
Lol how to stop my cats from ruining my recordings
it's almost going to ruin my marriage too if I don't stop them scratching the chairs haha!
There is no way I am paying 11 quid to use mods on a game

I would try a different web browser and try using 7zip as the main extractor
7-zip.org
Choose the one which matches your Operating system
