Yo ever have trouble with micro stutters in this sim in vr. I have none on iracing it’s runs super smooth but in this it’s rough. I’ve got a 3080ti and a i5 13600k so don’t think it’s too weak a system
@@TheSNIPEDGAMES No, but I have a Quest Pro and use opencomposite so it skips SteamVR and just goes straight to Virtual Desktop to stream. That makes everything much clearer and smoother. Also have a 4090 so that helps
@@TheSNIPEDGAMES My problems in ams2 VR disappear after switching to quest link cable and turning up USB bandwidth in the oculus trey tools. Lot smoother and sharper with no extra computing power.
The great differential this sim is the cars and tracks. Most people stay in known circuits (that we found in any sim) and fastest cars and lose the wonder experience of a small track with a classic car. Try old Interlagos in a Passat, or Spielberg 1974 in a Porsche 1974, or Uno in Tarumã, or the Truck in Brasília for memorable good races.
Reiza delivered....Big time! Their ongoing commitment is second to none. Everybody who tryd AMS2 before, and said it was crap, try it again, and dare yourself to come around to the light side. It is very, very good now.
@@kolysion164 won't call it crap because a lot of people enjoy it, but it still feels weird for me. Tried everything I can to enjoy this game, but I still end up uninstalling it.
@@alekdanser yes but this was like this for ever, i remember doing races in the nurburgring without buying it, idk maybe it's just me and i'm lucky lol
Tried it for a bit, and the first impression was great, the handling does feel noticeably better/more in line with other sims. I hadn't played AMS2 in a long time, since knowing that a lot was gonna change made me unmotivated to keep playing the previous version. Now I can finally jump in again hehe When they first mentioned the UI overhaul I was expecting a bigger change, but one thing I'm loving are the presets, it's super handy (& the visuals are really cool), makes setting up a race much easier and less confusing, and also highlights all the different content in the game, which Reiza seems to have tried to reinforce in their pre-release presentation video mentioning their work as many different games in one.
The fact that Reiza improved on Project Cars 2 makes this even great. Kudos, kudos. Four years of well cooked content. 🙏 Maybe I should buy this at some point despite having no sim rig
@@Mitchell_Motorsports Comment donner un avis si on n'essaye pas longtemps une simu? Si on part de Assetto et que l'on va sur RF2 sans apprentissage on va trouver RF2 bizarre, c'est normal, avec AMS2 c'est la même chose, le FFB a toujours été assez bon, il s'est immensément amélioré au fil des mises à jours, mais la base était bonne, juste différente. J'y suis habitué et je roule sur RF2, AC, AMS2, Iracing, Dirt Rallye 2 et Race Room (FFB le plus facile à prendre en main pour moi) Je fais de très bons chronos dans toutes les simulations et je suis simracer depuis Grand Prix 1 de Microprose, je sais un peu de quoi je parle. Autre chose, tu sais que tu as un pseudo à moitié belge, comme moi? sa maman est belge, son père est hollandais.😉Bonne journée où que tu habites et essaye vraiment AMS2, ça vaut le coup et surtout en VR.
@@terrysearle2633 I have tried it, not "much", for maybe some 20 mins. Now, at the time of writing this, maybe for 3 hours now, and I can say as a huge fan of AMS 2, it is much better in every aspect. I love it! 😄
Bought it with the full pack today. Can’t wait to play it! Have to figure out how to make my PSVR2 work on the PC. I have the adaptor but haven’t tried it yet.
Tips for good fun.... Plug the psvr2 pc adapter into a usb 3.0 on motherboard. Now, You need a good BT adapter. Plug that sucker on a standard usb, front of case WITH extender
Are you showing an early build? My Opponent setting screen does not show Throttle and Brake skills as yours shows @7:13. I only have the wet racing skill...
7:14 is there a particular setting that needs to be enabled elsewhere for the throttle and brake skill to be shown? It's totally absent in my menus. I'm guessing this was part of the preview you were using that unfortunately didn't make it into the live version :( I really want this feature as I find one of the most unsatisfying things about racing AI is that its often very obvious that you're not operating on the same 'rules' as they are. I'm always seeing the AI cars braking or accelerating out of corners in the ways that are seemingly impossible for me, so being able to turn those aspects of their speed down a bit would be really good.
How to set the AI skill "Opponent Brake skill" & "Opponent Throttle skill" ? I don´t have these entries in the Opponent skill settings. I only see the rest of the settings.
Loving this new update, this game is brilliant in VR. However replays in VR seem to be broken. Maybe I am doing something wrong, but the camera doesn't follow the car around the track. Please help
Pretty sure that is intentional as otherwise, there might be some serious discomfort 😄You can bind a key to next and previous camera, then you can switch to different viewpoints around the track to follow the action from a spectator's POV.
Hi, minute 7:13 you show a screenshot where to set AI throttle and brake skill. I downloaded latest v1.6 but these sliders are not present. How did you get these?
Honestly this is the only thing the sim needs for most of the AI problems involve insanely higher acceleration skill than breaking skill at any given skill setting, and they removed it from the update???
I’ve already played a couple hours of Sebring and Road Atlanta and they’re both great. Cars still slide too much but it’s enjoyable to drive, especially in VR.
I wish my Steamdeck wasn't such a laggy mess - would LOVE to have this game running. Tried the demo and was mostly unplayable - as low as 8fps at times 😭
I never liked ams2s driving and thats what brought me away so much before but with all this details and new AI im sure i can enjoy it now and defiantly looking forwards to it, even if i still dislike the driving perhaps the immersion may keep me coming back, as well as the amount of racing cars included
Ams2 looks great and sounds great... but the cars feel numb and disconnected/floating above the road. Still needs a tonne of physics work compared to the rest of the sims on the market.
@OverTake_gg yes, I spent 2 hrs last night trying all the new content. FFB isn't the problem, ai have a Simucube 2 pro the game is inconsistent. You can brake at the exact same spot with same pressure and get different results every lap. There is zero road feel the cars float and bounce around. The head movement on cockpit cam is bad even with it set to zero. It's a great looking game but has a looong way to go to compete with ACC, iRacing and LMU.
I’m interested in the group c & CART. Hoping they’ve got the feel pre 1.4. I didn’t read anything in the notes other than the 962 getting some tire fixes. Not one word about the cart cars. As far as the gt3 stuff, they’re everywhere 😑 The hypers, they’ll not have the complete system as does LMU so no interest there. I’m looking for stuff as close to rl or historic as I mentioned
I checked it out. But I get the same result I always do. I loaded it up and said ok now what. No real multiplayer , no challenges , no career , no pre made series even. I just don’t understand how we are this many years into this sim with absolutely nothing to do other than just play with toys.
Multiplayer has been extremely active over the weekend thanks to the Low Fuel Motorsport integration, and pre-made series are available via the newly-introduced Presets option 🙂 Challenges are currently only available via time trial leaderboards, and Career Mode is coming possibly in 2025.
Homie you gotta get into LFM. If a sim has been out on the market for 4 years and there are no dev plans for their own ranked online mode, you can't wait around forever. LFM is easy to sign up for and doesn't even require you to download anything.
@ I’m fully into lfm. But it just came out in beta for this like a week ago. And lfm is cool but it’s nothing like having MP ranked built right into your sim. They are lucky if 200 players run lfm for this game any given day.
Hey, what are peoples "go to" cars in AMS 2 ? Which cars "jus feel right". I havent been able to put much time into it to find out. Or maybe im picking the wrong cars and getting fustrated and quiting....
I play through vr. Micro stutters come with the new tracks. If I set legacy head movement to zero, the track is shaking, the driving is chunky. If I set to 1, tha car is shaking, and I feel dizzy.
i love ams, recently bought this week and im having a blast, before i was only playing acc but i think im switching to ams2. idk i feel more conected to the car and overall ffb that the game provides, in acc no matter what i do in the setting it always feels a bit odd.
About 95% perhaps 99% similar. I just went back and forth testing AMS 2 vs AMS 1, and AMS 2 vs AC, and AMS 2 vs RF2. AMS 1 & 2 are really very very very close now. AMS 2 actually does many things better now too. Compared to RF2 & AC I used 1975 F1 cars, and also lotus 79, as well as some 1991 F1 cars. The 1975 cars fell very very close between RF2 and AMS 2, and AC is kind of a outlier that feels much more slidey, but still close to AMS 2 but AC is more different from RF2. Lotus 79 mod from RSS in AC compared to AMS 2 is extremely similar, very very close. The 1991 are similar but AC only has mods for these, the ASR cars feel completely different from anything, the VRC and RSS mods feel much much better but are still a bit different from each other, but compared to AMS 2 they both feel very close and handle the same 99% of the time. The 1993 McLaren in RF 2 vs AMS 2 is also quite close, but do they feel slightly different despite the actual handling and reactions of the car being very very close, I think perhaps the active suspension modeling in automobilista 2 is more advanced.
@@nicklibby3784Thanks. AMS 1 is such a great sim... I started playing AMS 2, but I prefer AMS 1. I will have to try the new update. Which things do you think are better besides the graohics?
Game changing is not a buzz word this time, especially for gamepad players. First time since I bought the game two years ago that it feels good to drive without unhealthy amount of tweaking. It is so much more similar to how ACC, R3E and most other sims feel on gamepad. Thanks Reiza !
If you can do this with a controller more power to you. Last time I used one was with Gran Turismo 2. A wheel would enhance your experience quite a bit.
Tes propos n'ont aucun sens, le ffb personnalisé ça ne peut-être que toi qui le crée, de base il en a deux et d'autres sont téléchargeables, mais la personnalisation ne viendra que de toi ( ou d'un ingénieur que tu payera grassement! héhéhé!)
yea that would be cool, its the part of the update I was most excited about. 1.6 was released on my b-day yesterday so Christmas would be a nice gift as well
I know GM went on about it... but the new UI is a step backward. It looks like a mobile game. The new physics do feel better, and you can come unstuck a lot quicker if you make a mistake. FFB feels more communicative and involving too, even the Caterhams feel like they are on tarmac, instead of ice, as they have done until now. AI does seem better at getting around tricky spots better but they do still seem to get stuck in trains from my limited play time. Hoping LFM integration works well.
When you're in the pits and have engine starts set to manual, simply switch on the ignition but don't use the starter. You can start driving once first gear is engaged, then the ICU will kick in automatically 🙂
Breakthrough? AMS2 had few peers already and the game 1.6 adds even more layers of excellence for those willing to give it a serious go. Unless of course your GamerMuscle and you just hate the game for no reason.
Love the update, but multiplayer is a pain in the ass with the sim. I get bored without real people racing. They need some sort of matchmaking, i want to hop on and race.
Err..you do know there were 2k players on LFM last night playing this title? Have you been hiding under a rock? It's well known LFM is now running AMS2.
1.6 is a joke: They couldn't even do the triple screen settings right. Not only is it not working and applying entered values. You also have to restart the game in order to have the changes applied. Never has been a Sim, never will be a Sim. And don't get me started with the physics!
It looks like this has not make it to the live patch yet even though it was not mentioned that it wouldn't. We are double checking and probably cutting that part out! -Michel
I don't know if we should consider it as drama, there were 2-3 tech, timing and human errors leading to a livestream that was far from perfect, but drama? :) -Michel
AMS2 is currently in Steam Charts "Top 5" trending (#3 at time of posting) with biggest player growth (+412.9%) in last 24 hours. Also reached new all-time concurrent player peak of 3,662 (a number Raceroom and rF2 has never reached, LMU did only during it's launch days but fallen way off since). Keep it up Reiza!
I have to say game 1.6 is a big disappointment in my option. Really feel crappie. Try the demo first .....wish i would have. Do not take advise from other sim racers because i don't think most have driven a lot of cars. Driving this game reminded me of my karting days going slow on a dirt track. It is really bad.
Nice overview! And not a hypetrain video! I was waiting for the update eagerly, especially because of the chance to compete in AMS2 on LFM... I abandonned the latter because of the heated races in the lower rating fields - which is unfortunately my realm since I don't have time to spend lots of hours for practice to reach a higher pace. In short: Skill issue 🥸😂. Buuuuuut I also have to say the hype by some people was a bit annoying... yes, this update overhauls the sim on the surface with better looking menus and some nice quality of life enhancements. But I don't think this is nowhere near the 'totally new sim' many people tried to imply. It's a major update, yes, but AMS2 was great before. The biggest thing is the optimized Multiplayer, the rest is in my opinion well made (probably) improvements. If people didn't like the physics and car behaviour before, they'll very likely still don't like the sim. I will lay my hands on the sim on sunday, unfortunately Reiza didn't know that my weekend is quite busy and that I also have to work on both saturday and sunday... but it is what it is. At least - if people are willing to do so - I can now go on LFM races in AMS2 online around the clock... very good for shift worker guys like me. So I'm quite excited!
I love AMS2 and only play with AI. Before the release of 1.6 I had only one dream, to: “they didn't mess up anything” and of course they f🤬🤬🤬g messed up. - Optimization, from stable 60fps I now have 29-35 and strange framerates. - AI is not even a shadow of itself, boring and dumb. “AI Mistakes” is a weak joke. I set x5 and in 30min I see one situation how ai leaves the track. No fight, everyone drives like a string, gt3 cars on the straight pull pathetically behind gt5. - “Tyre wire” doesn't exist anymore, on x5 I spin spins 5min and didn't even go to 50%. Mock. How can you not test it? - “Bugs”, I set one, load another, want to turn on the map in the HUD, this one does not work. No lap records. etc. Earlier I bought almost all the DLC, I enjoy the new cars and tracks, because they are great, the driving model and FFB is fabulous. The sounds are even better. Unfortunately if Reiza doesn't fix what they broke, I'm done with Ams2 and will go back to RF2 or look for something new.
Do you have issues setting it up? What model do you have? Have you tried generic dd, then assign steering and then calibration? AMS2 is sometimes not super straight forward with the settings but any wheel should work technically, its direct input api. -Michel
Still a huge discrepancy between cars Lambo GT3 at imola in good conditions feels like it’s on ice, take the same car to Sebring in same conditions and it’s fine Always the killer with this game, one car /track combo mitigates the slidey feeling and others feel terrible.
Dude, this game will never be fixed. Ever. 3 developers for a sim racing game is just not possible. This will be forgotten like all the other gamechanging updates

AMS 2 is a driver's sim.
I'm off buying DLC at half price.

would be important if your an iracing causual, new and or old driver in that sim

Stop sentimental whining!
The only thing I'm not very happy is lack of modern FF Touring cars, which is what hook me up to GSC and AMS1.

@ I’m fully into lfm. But it just came out in beta for this like a week ago. And lfm is cool but it’s nothing like having MP ranked built right into your sim. They are lucky if 200 players run lfm for this game any given day.
Bitte ein Link zum Pulli ;-)
Hey, what are peoples "go to" cars in AMS 2 ? Which cars "jus feel right".
I havent been able to put much time into it to find out. Or maybe im picking the wrong cars and getting fustrated and quiting....
Danke für das Video. Aber die Videoleuchte ist sicher von Temu...die macht ein gruseliges Licht.
Ich habe hier die Keylights von Elgato, musste mich ein bisschen beeilen, war vielleicht nicht perfekt ausgeleuchtet 🥲 -Michel
I play through vr. Micro stutters come with the new tracks. If I set legacy head movement to zero, the track is shaking, the driving is chunky. If I set to 1, tha car is shaking, and I feel dizzy.
Tyre data is still a bit too forgiving... But for casual racing it is the best in the moment imho
i love ams, recently bought this week and im having a blast, before i was only playing acc but i think im switching to ams2. idk i feel more conected to the car and overall ffb that the game provides, in acc no matter what i do in the setting it always feels a bit odd.
I haven't played the game in a while. Have they made an actual career mode, or is it still custom?
No career mode. -Michel
How does it compare with AMS 1?
Ben il est mieux, essaye le peut-être??????
About 95% perhaps 99% similar. I just went back and forth testing AMS 2 vs AMS 1, and AMS 2 vs AC, and AMS 2 vs RF2.
AMS 1 & 2 are really very very very close now. AMS 2 actually does many things better now too.
Compared to RF2 & AC I used 1975 F1 cars, and also lotus 79, as well as some 1991 F1 cars.
The 1975 cars fell very very close between RF2 and AMS 2, and AC is kind of a outlier that feels much more slidey, but still close to AMS 2 but AC is more different from RF2. Lotus 79 mod from RSS in AC compared to AMS 2 is extremely similar, very very close. The 1991 are similar but AC only has mods for these, the ASR cars feel completely different from anything, the VRC and RSS mods feel much much better but are still a bit different from each other, but compared to AMS 2 they both feel very close and handle the same 99% of the time.
The 1993 McLaren in RF 2 vs AMS 2 is also quite close, but do they feel slightly different despite the actual handling and reactions of the car being very very close, I think perhaps the active suspension modeling in automobilista 2 is more advanced.
@@ledzep2879Until this update I preferred AMS 1 feeling while driving. I will have to test the new update
@@nicklibby3784Thanks. AMS 1 is such a great sim... I started playing AMS 2, but I prefer AMS 1. I will have to try the new update. Which things do you think are better besides the graohics?
Are some of you have problems to save changes in the triple setup page?? My values won‘t Save
Game changing is not a buzz word this time, especially for gamepad players. First time since I bought the game two years ago that it feels good to drive without unhealthy amount of tweaking. It is so much more similar to how ACC, R3E and most other sims feel on gamepad. Thanks Reiza !
gamepad? srl?
Ffs get a wheel
not everyone can get a wheel, let people be. @@TheKwod
@@carsonpolandsimracing community toxicity part 1997:
If you can do this with a controller more power to you. Last time I used one was with Gran Turismo 2.
A wheel would enhance your experience quite a bit.
15.8GB is a huge update.
I am not seeing the slider for cornering and brake skill, is this a beta version of 1.6?
It seems like this is not yet in the live version indeed. -Michel
Is it me who cannot stop ams2 cars?
Im keen yo see how 1.6 is
Make a custom ffb as standart for 1.6 pls
Would be a nice gesture!
Tes propos n'ont aucun sens, le ffb personnalisé ça ne peut-être que toi qui le crée, de base il en a deux et d'autres sont téléchargeables, mais la personnalisation ne viendra que de toi ( ou d'un ingénieur que tu payera grassement! héhéhé!)
@@ledzep2879 it doesnt have to make sense for u!
cheers copin!
When???
Its live! -Michel
Temped, but it really depends on multiplayer population. Offline racing does not excite me nearly as much as MP
When is career mode gonna be unlocked, 6 months from now?
Lul
Expect something between 3 months and 1.5 years. They are not very big studio and like to make things really good and not rushed.
We got the September update on the verge of December. Any other questions?
Maybe a Christmas gift... Hope is free 😅
yea that would be cool, its the part of the update I was most excited about. 1.6 was released on my b-day yesterday so Christmas would be a nice gift as well
Still needs cars from the 1930-50s
Love everything about the update except for the formula gen 2 sound. Was hoping they’d update it as it sounds terrible
I know GM went on about it... but the new UI is a step backward. It looks like a mobile game. The new physics do feel better, and you can come unstuck a lot quicker if you make a mistake. FFB feels more communicative and involving too, even the Caterhams feel like they are on tarmac, instead of ice, as they have done until now. AI does seem better at getting around tricky spots better but they do still seem to get stuck in trains from my limited play time. Hoping LFM integration works well.
how do you do that? 4:54
When you're in the pits and have engine starts set to manual, simply switch on the ignition but don't use the starter. You can start driving once first gear is engaged, then the ICU will kick in automatically 🙂
@yhaustein38 thx, you are the best!!
@@valentinrosario8678 No problem, enjoy the sounds and sights of the update 👍
Breakthrough? AMS2 had few peers already and the game 1.6 adds even more layers of excellence for those willing to give it a serious go. Unless of course your GamerMuscle and you just hate the game for no reason.
HOW ABOUT ACURA ARX-06?????
Love the update, but multiplayer is a pain in the ass with the sim. I get bored without real people racing. They need some sort of matchmaking, i want to hop on and race.
Va jouer à Forzamotorsport alors, pfff, quelle immaturité...
Err..you do know there were 2k players on LFM last night playing this title? Have you been hiding under a rock? It's well known LFM is now running AMS2.
Most of my car mods are not working.They crash the game..
Anybody has the same problem?
now thAT LAMBO is leaving wec we need aston martin asap
my moza r3 dont work wy ?? flix fix this raiza
I can’t seem to bind my pedals and wheel, so can’t even play the game.
What are you using? -Michel
Now i can delete LMU 🎉
1.6 is a joke: They couldn't even do the triple screen settings right. Not only is it not working and applying entered values. You also have to restart the game in order to have the changes applied. Never has been a Sim, never will be a Sim. And don't get me started with the physics!
Let me double check the triples thing 🤔 -Michel
7:18 - In version 1.6.3 I don't have AI speed up and slow down sliders. Is this the case for everyone?
It looks like this has not make it to the live patch yet even though it was not mentioned that it wouldn't. We are double checking and probably cutting that part out! -Michel
@@OverTake_gg Thank you for answering
Don't cut that part out. Tell them to add it into the game!
@@benjiesau1497 Yep we are asking!
It broke the mods i use but i dont care. The lmp2 and super trofeo mod is now no longer needed so
Is reiza are still angry with you ?
They never were! -Michel
@@OverTake_gg even with the stream drama ?
I don't know if we should consider it as drama, there were 2-3 tech, timing and human errors leading to a livestream that was far from perfect, but drama? :) -Michel
AMS2 is currently in Steam Charts "Top 5" trending (#3 at time of posting) with biggest player growth (+412.9%) in last 24 hours. Also reached new all-time concurrent player peak of 3,662 (a number Raceroom and rF2 has never reached, LMU did only during it's launch days but fallen way off since). Keep it up Reiza!
rf2 is another level can t be comparable with ams. RR is still better in most of ways than ams. AC is the best sim all around.
I hope it will come to the consoles
good content update but it still feels like you are driving a hover craft
I have to say game 1.6 is a big disappointment in my option. Really feel crappie. Try the demo first .....wish i would have. Do not take advise from other sim racers because i don't think most have driven a lot of cars. Driving this game reminded me of my karting days going slow on a dirt track. It is really bad.
Nice overview! And not a hypetrain video! I was waiting for the update eagerly, especially because of the chance to compete in AMS2 on LFM... I abandonned the latter because of the heated races in the lower rating fields - which is unfortunately my realm since I don't have time to spend lots of hours for practice to reach a higher pace. In short: Skill issue 🥸😂. Buuuuuut I also have to say the hype by some people was a bit annoying... yes, this update overhauls the sim on the surface with better looking menus and some nice quality of life enhancements. But I don't think this is nowhere near the 'totally new sim' many people tried to imply. It's a major update, yes, but AMS2 was great before. The biggest thing is the optimized Multiplayer, the rest is in my opinion well made (probably) improvements. If people didn't like the physics and car behaviour before, they'll very likely still don't like the sim.
I will lay my hands on the sim on sunday, unfortunately Reiza didn't know that my weekend is quite busy and that I also have to work on both saturday and sunday... but it is what it is. At least - if people are willing to do so - I can now go on LFM races in AMS2 online around the clock... very good for shift worker guys like me. So I'm quite excited!
this new update has changed it from being the best game i have ever played to being one of the worst, how do i get back the previous version?
@@RST9413 garbage game i want realistic game like it was before
I love AMS2 and only play with AI. Before the release of 1.6 I had only one dream, to: “they didn't mess up anything” and of course they f🤬🤬🤬g messed up.
- Optimization, from stable 60fps I now have 29-35 and strange framerates.
- AI is not even a shadow of itself, boring and dumb.
“AI Mistakes” is a weak joke. I set x5 and in 30min I see one situation how ai leaves the track. No fight, everyone drives like a string, gt3 cars on the straight pull pathetically behind gt5.
- “Tyre wire” doesn't exist anymore, on x5 I spin spins 5min and didn't even go to 50%. Mock. How can you not test it?
- “Bugs”, I set one, load another, want to turn on the map in the HUD, this one does not work. No lap records. etc.
Earlier I bought almost all the DLC, I enjoy the new cars and tracks, because they are great, the driving model and FFB is fabulous. The sounds are even better. Unfortunately if Reiza doesn't fix what they broke, I'm done with Ams2 and will go back to RF2 or look for something new.
100 € for a game who dont take FANATEC WHEEL
Do you have issues setting it up? What model do you have? Have you tried generic dd, then assign steering and then calibration? AMS2 is sometimes not super straight forward with the settings but any wheel should work technically, its direct input api. -Michel
@@aznbenmaz 100€ what are you talking?
I bought a key for 20 dollars
Lol I paid$6 a few days ago
Still a huge discrepancy between cars
Lambo GT3 at imola in good conditions feels like it’s on ice, take the same car to Sebring in same conditions and it’s fine
Always the killer with this game, one car /track combo mitigates the slidey feeling and others feel terrible.
Dude, this game will never be fixed. Ever. 3 developers for a sim racing game is just not possible. This will be forgotten like all the other gamechanging updates
Ah the usual trolls who have probably not even tried it. Go hide under your bridge, everyone else is having fun with this update.
I concur.
