A 3-Way Fight to Experience AMS2's New 1971 Nordschleife Beta!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- A perfect Sunday afternoon looking at this wonderful circuit and having a couple fun races. The first one turned out to be the better of the two (for me), but overall I was very impressed with everything and how it all worked out. Still some snags in the multiplayer system, but when it works it was a ton of fun and makes me want to come back for more!
Thanks to everyone who took part!

Well fought battle from both you and Crane. Hopefully next time I finally nail that final chicane. 😉
Hi, i'm Cranehead and thank you for the race. This car and track combo is amazing and was made even better by the great racing we had!
That was fun, I never watch a race start to finish but I had to see this play out
Roope i didn't know it was you! Fun racing!!
Well done guys. Great racing.
@@GPLaps Yes, I have Cranehead as my steam name and also now in RBR (I'm planning to take part in the next round of SRM) and Cranehead is actually just my last name translated to English :). But it was nice to race with you and your community as always!
There is no other racetrack with a concept as fascinating as the Gesamtstrecke, bypassing the Start/Finish-section twice in only one lap. Old Monza with the Oval comes close, but this massive track right here... unbelievable when you do races long enough to always have oncoming traffic whenever you pass by Start/Finish!
The Monza Combined circuit reminds me of a Hot Wheels track with how ridiculous it is. I don't think crossovers will ever stop being cool to me. The Gesamstrecke is a close second, though my mind was personally more occupied with how the crews could have possibly managed with such a tiny working area (speaking as someone who has no idea what the paddock setup was truly like in period).
@@mitchell-wallisforce7859 you mean the Historisches Fahrerlager? There are pictures of it. Been there during the classic day's. It's quite big. Think some cars where even parked and worked on back then at the hotel parking / garage even.
17:57 this has got to be *the* very best corner in the entire video . Somewhat deep entry but great turn in, amazingly drawn out arch right towards the apex, and a perfect exit. Absolutely textbook.
Nice - I really need to learn this track! Love these BMW's too. Great race
What a perfect way to spend 25 minutes on a wet horrible UK evening. Thankyou.
thx for this post - i just got my 50th nordschleife anniversary - lived my first laps in my mumys tummy spring 73 - you should follow the 24h race this year: 20/21 of MAY - much love from switzerland - keep up doing you stuff
dad had the 1600 BMW - i have many pictures of the track from the time after renovation - when the side of the track was still brown instead of green - cause it was a hot summer and grass came back slowly - some parts looked naked - it was dusty
Great video, as always. Going sideways through every corner of this vintage fever dream while having a chill and enjoyable talk is quite a skill. Also, props on the reasonable German, too
Bit over the top it seems to me. Like the setup is way to stiff
Hey GP. Great piece of driving. My wife is German and when she was little she road in those BMWs with her dad. We're planning on a trip to Germany and we're gonna try to get on the nord.
amazing track, amazing racing! Would love to see the 1957 version of it
Yes! I really would love to see that! Generally fifties cars are totally underrepresented in Sims!
The most amazing option at the moment is the RF2 50s touring car mods with Dundrod, and the Isle of Man and other legendary and very well made tracks! Also the physics in RF2 are the best by a long shot!
Great racing! These were slow enough to allow near door-to-door racing but remain completely engaging and challenging to keep on track.
I have a desire to see you race the BRE Datsun 510 in a period-correct event!
Nice one! I've only driven the pre-revision version of this track in AC, but this safer version is still quite nice and preserves some of the scenic views we miss in the modern version of the Nurburgring!
That was very exciting to watch. You got me motivated to go run some laps. Thanks very much for the video.
AMS2 has totally changed my perspective on sim racing. I was a massive AMS1 fan and bought AMS2 on release day. Initially I wasn’t impressed. But over the last year or so I’ve stopped obsessing over realism and just started having fun. AMS2 is just an absolute blast to drive. And because of that it’s the sim I open the most often these days when I want to race offline or host a private lobby for a friend or two and some AI.
if you left foot brake lightly during corner entry you will have less over streer and more traction in exit, also you are downshifting 1 gear too mcuh in some corners, keep in 3rd more often! love the content
I feel like transitioning from left foot braking mid corner to right foot braking for heel and toe would be the most awkward thing imaginable.
Some of the best producing you will see in SIM racing.
Thanks for sharing your setup changes. I really struggled with this car losing the nose. Your ARB adjustments made a huge difference for me.
what is fantastic about this track in now there are 5 classic f1 tracks to throw the 60s f1 cars around on. Hope we see a classic monaco at some point. I think a classic 60s watkins glen and zandvoort would really round out the 60s content well.
STOP AROUSING ME.
Great race, amazing fun to watch, a real nail bitting finish. Well done!
Looks like great fun. Most of my sim racing I do on rF2 on the Nordscheife, but I used to enjoy racing the AI in Ams2, it's a great looking sim. I've been out for 1½ due to an injury, but I'm looking forward to getting back at it. Really enjoyed the video, can't wait to razz the little Beemer round the "together track"
Magnificent race to watch, GPLaps. You really brought home the sim-racing saying of "never give up"
fun race ! really amazed by the enjoyable driving while you seak !
I don't if it would be difficult for the ams2 dev team to add an early 60's version of that track ! that would be terrific !
I hope we get something like 1958 F1 content that would be a massive game changer
What a race! That finish was intense
What a finish! - great stuff 👍🏻🏁
loooks really like a lot of fun. thanks for sharing it!
Oh I guarantee my dad didn't pay quite a few times he camped there. when he was stationed in Germany. Think he rolled a split window beetle there as well. Have some awesome shot he took of the ring. Got quite a few of the big hill just down from the pits. So beautiful. He met James Garner when they were filming Grand Prix as well. Ill have to post a video of me going through all my dads old photos.
Oh My Gosh i sure enjoyed this video .... great stuff !!! Your channel is the best for us Gearheads ... been a fan of your channel for quite a while now !! 👌👌👌🏁🏁🏁
Nice, best thing to watch with my morning coffee!
Best sim racing content on UA-cam
Great great race and upload. Thank you.
That last bit 😲
What a thriller of a race!
Great finish 🙂 Great race!
Just joined your amazing channel mate. I really look forward to your videos.
I think I'm "finely" going to learn the Nordschleife, love those little Beemers too. AMS2 knows how to do these tracks right IMO, wish they had a better selection of cars though. Hearing you speak German was pretty cool!
youtube corner is the exit of "brünnchen" - and yes you can smell the barbecue there. still one of the hotspots to watch. i always camp at schwalbenschwanz - around the 2nd, shorter banked curve and walk over the kompressions & jump "pflanzgarten" back to "brünnchen" and even further - the elevations never get to you until you have seen them for real....
This was so much fun to watch
bonjour , super courses quelle belle bataille ! , j adore ams2 et ses circuits historique ......
Great race from all three there. Hard but fair.
Das hast du sehr gut gemacht, Jake. ;-)
For not having spoken German in 10 years or so, you sound rather good I'd say! It'll keep coming back once you use it more👍
Also kinda bummed I missed out on this, only saw the notification go up when I had to jump out of my righ right before you were set to start. Hope I can join next time!
Good race! Nice win!
What a final lap.. Great race
Your videos are always on top
Nice one! Great finale!
Fun to watch!
What a lovely race, I enjoyed it!
Mensch da hast du aber Schwein gehabt...! Awesome race, congratulations!!!
I saw you had a livestream going on and wanted to hop in it so bad but was out with the in-laws for lunch haha. Hopefully next time - Tony
Wow great race. Being Ninja and executing at the end.
I am seriously thinking about getting this DLC, As Nürburgring is my Fav track, And I am yet to still try a vintage version of this track, I think watching this have made me want this DLC, You might of sold a DLC for AMS2 lol, Nor jokes aside I don't know this version of this Nürburgring, And it be interesting to try the old F1 cars on this track, It takes a lot of skill to keep the older cars on the track I do know that....
Good little video bro..........
What a win!!
Wonderful to watch! 5 thumbs up!,
There may well have been some more minor renovations by this point, but to my knowledge, the big round of modifications came in the run up to 1973, much like Zandvoort.
Germans are nothing if not literal. Crackers are "crunchy bread". My sister has backed off on it, but for a while, she was raising her 2 boys heavily bilingual: English/German.
Fangio was dipping his tires off everywhere during his drive in the 1957 German GP.
Yeah, I bet Austria was wonderful. I have been to Salzburg at least.
Where aren't you sliding it? I mean, really...
That's what it's all about. Having fun...
That was a great race. 🎉
i was not expecting bro to have such beautiful eyes
Great race!
Historical musicologists research old performance practice to try and determine how did Bach hear his music hundreds of years ago…
Reiza, Fat Alfie, etc are doing the same for us motor racing fans - their research using any old footage etc, hard work, and artistic ability are giving us a valuable record of what it might have felt like to drive these old lost tracks.
Or, to do silly stuff like drive modern cars on old tracks, or old cars on modern tracks. What a time to be a sim racing fan! 😀
Was a lot of fun. But that car was a handfull.
Great video and race! I wonder if the other two where commentating and making a video at the same time!? It would take all my concentration just to stay on the track :)
What a win. Love that 😂
beta is really good can't wait for official release...
Very intense and enjoyable race around the Nordsheiße : )
Good video!
Great battle!
GP, yours are often some of the best AMS2/sim racing videos to be watched. Thank you for posting this! Do you think there will ever be Le Man in AMS2?
Marvellous! How do the physics of ams2 compare to that of ams1? I am a total ams1 fanatic but I am slowly starting to look for something more fresh. But I am so deep in love with the rfactor1 physics of ams 1 that I can't imagine downgrading on that..
The physics are okay to me, a bit slidy. In my opinion you don’t feel the wheels load up enough in corners before breaking traction.
I like the physics of RFactor2 much better, those are the industries best at the moment, but visual fidelity of AMS2 is of course better if that matters to you.
Once you spoke entire sentences the german was amazing
More events please!
Finally the Gesamtstrecke is available in a new sim. Looks delicious.
Also: Can you drive up Steilstrecke?
I was wondering about that too
You can drive up it but there are no track layouts yet where it is a part of them
@@GPLaps One more question: Will you be able to drive on the different parts of the Gesamtstrecke individually (Südschleife, Betonschleife and Nordschleife) on their own? Great video btw, your racing videos always make me want to pick up AMS2 again.
Currently its Norscheliefe, Sudschleife or both as the Gesamstrecke. Thanks! glad you enjoy
That looks like an 80's GoodYear cap you're wearing there am I right?
Super random question….are those Puma Ligas or Army Trainers?
Ligas
AMS2 the best simu for me
We're still getting the stream VOD, right?
The link to it is in the description here!
Dude, you put down a lot of weight!
60lbs and counting!
@@GPLaps nice man! Keep it up!
15:42 Drive another 200 laps and you become fluent in German. 😉
Edit: 17:00 - See! Quite well for 10 years without speaking.
AMS2 with it's classic tracks and cars has always interested me. I tried the demo and I really was put off by it. Interesting to hear the Demo isn't a good representation of the game anymore. The other problem though is I barely play R3E as it is so another sim I hardly play seems like not a great buy. Then again I really enjoy the Nurburgring but have never driven this Historic layout of it.
4:46 Nordscheiße lol
In GT7 they actually have bbq smoke at some parts of the track, really captures the vibe of the N24
Your German is very good!
Grüße aus Deutschland! So schlimm war es doch gar nicht ;-)
Nice track but as you say it doesn't capture the old camping/party atmosphere at all. A shame
Dein Deutsch ist gut! 😂
God damn your eyes are blue!!!!!
"Nordscheise" lmao
drift game
It’s “Brünnchen“ not UA-cam corner!
Please respect the German cultural heritage that’s attached to the Ring and it’s corners names.
This is a very big petpeave of mine, nowadays even people I met at the Ring don’t even know the correct name anymore which is a damn shame!
The only things they know these days are the made up stuff like „UA-cam corner“ „Rebel Tree“ and the „Karussell (which isn’t the corners full name!)
Not even 15 years ago this was very different.
Btw your german was still really good, especially if you consider you learned it from the Austrians and their horrible accent haha!
waahh waahh waaahhhh
It's not just you but constantly calling the combined circuit the "Nordscleife" annoys me >
