The little comment about the track: "over the mountains, literally" is quite comical. Anyone who knows about Lincolnshire (where the track is based) will know:- The tracks location seems to have been placed perfectly on the only hills in the county
Great race, thanks for sharing. An interesting side note about the circuit is that it was one of the locations used in the film Rush, I think it might have been the F3 scenes that were masquerading as the old Crystal Palace circuit.
I took a long break from sim racing after many years on GP2, GPL, NR2003S and iRacing. The thing that made me dust off the Logitech DFP and buy a new gaming PC was a UA-cam video of Billy Strange racing a Caterham at Cadwell park on AMS. It was just irresistible. Thanks for reminding me.
Really hope LFM pulls some more interesting series out for multiplayer. A lot of good content flies under the radar! Try P3 or P4s on some of the medium sized Brazilian tracks.
Just tried this combo in VR and what a beautiful locale. While driving the Caterham around the track I imagined it was my GSX-R600 under me and what a terrifying thrill that became. Guess it'd be fun to putt around on an empty track. Sure it'd be suicide racing it on this tight, twisty track and its many blind corners. Now I hoping to find some footage of bike races at Cadwell to get a better feel for what it must've been like. VR truly adds a dimension to this game that can't be equalled on a flat (or triple) screen.
Cadwell park will forever be a bike track for me. Seeing Toprak soar over the jump is one of my favorite things in racing. It's such a tight track with no room for error. That grass bites hard!
Cadwell Park has been in my personal top 5 for years now. It's just so much fun. I loved it in Project Cars 2 and I still do in AMS2. It's ideal for light lower horsepower cars.
This version of Cadwell is VERY realistic as is Oulton Park, British Superbikes regularly race here. If you look at videos you will see the bikes actually take flight over the mountain.
These cars on a more open track become a game of chess with drag being a huge factor. Being shaped like bricks nobody wants to lead into the last sector. I got into watching it when Chris Hoy (legendary Olympian)was driving.
Great vid as always Jake. I suspect the reason that the AI were clumping together is when you put them on Max aggression it overrides all the other behaviour settings in the AI file so they all become clones
Yeah it certainly seems so. I had them on medium aggression at first (as I usually do) and experienced similar behavior. So i'm not really sure what is going on but they really hate passing here!
@@GPLaps Jake put on High, in this way you keep the AI with different styles and high aggression, I also like to put the mistake multiplier by 5x, it's fun some of them making mistakes under pressure, missing breaking points, understeering in corner entry...etc.
It is like real Caterham racing though, most of the field covered by a handkerchief. If only AMS2 damage model was so accurate, with the marshals collecting half a dozen (glass fibre, not carbon) wings after a race (racers mount them with nylon bolts - then saw half way through them so they cause even less damage to the main chassis when they are inevitably ripped off).
GPLaps and AMS2 is a perfect combination! Would like to see you back in some classic F1 cars, preferable early turbo cars if you wouldn't mind 🙂 But anyways, I really like your channel and just do whatever you like to do - I will be here watching ;-)
Cadwell Park is as underrated as a track can be. One of my favorites at any sim, specially for bike racing (that is what is more common to race at the real place). About the Lotus 7... is a nice car in most sims, but never my favorite
This is weird, I'm the same as you with regards the Caterham... but between AMS1 & 2 I've been hammering the Caterhams this week. We differ on Cadwell Park, that's been a go to track since the Motorfx mod version hit GT Legends way way back when. Houston, the video has been LIKED... Over. .... tsshht.
Watching your videos and even older ams2 videos has gotten me back into the sim but I just wondered what you set the ai to? Just max everything? Sometimes I find the ai weirdly defensive and they just push and shove😅
Yeah in my experience its just kind of the characteristic of the AI in AMS2, they love to ride your rear bumper. In general I usually run them at Medium aggression (makes the difference between most and least aggressive bigger), and anywhere from 105 - 118% speed depending on the track.
@ thank you ☺️ I will give those a try. Ams2 is one of the few sims I’ve enjoyed offline and online. I normally spend my time doing vintage racing on AC on Wednesdays so it’s nice to have another sim to do close racing on 😎

I came here to say just that :) He must be thinking of the mountains surrounding the "Snetterton" circuit in the new "Senna" series.
Great race, thanks for sharing. An interesting side note about the circuit is that it was one of the locations used in the film Rush, I think it might have been the F3 scenes that were masquerading as the old Crystal Palace circuit.
Indeed!
Super combo Jake! I love watching your videos mate, you're a stellar sim racing content maker. ✌

My favourite AMS2 experience has been racing the AI here in the Formula Junior. These Caterhams looked good fun too.
I found this combo a couple of nights ago. Love it
There's a great onboard YT video from a real life 3-wheeler Morgan in a vintage car race a couple of years back, around this track.

Thank you for all the great AMS2 content, keep it coming! The Mini JCW around here is great fun, especially with a bit of rain.

I'm Australian, but the only thing that annoys me about BSB is the number of times a minute the commentators say 'Toprak Razgatlioglu' hahaha
ua-cam.com/video/gIO2Z4kOn6Y/v-deo.htmlsi=I06x0QbCWIx1UoNv&t=329 is me in my Caterham a few years ago. Certainly got my attention! 😱
These are some of my favourite AMS2 cars, I absolutely adore the challenge of the Caterhams. Glad you enjoy them so much too.
Watching the BSB guys on this track is really something.
Nice little video! "elbow's out", pretty funny, tight course!
I love Cadwell Park in the Lotus 23 I think it is.
Cadwell Park has been in my personal top 5 for years now. It's just so much fun. I loved it in Project Cars 2 and I still do in AMS2. It's ideal for light lower horsepower cars.
Absolutely loving AMS2. Hoping it’ll be even better once I get my T598.

Super video. British club racing. 👍🏽
The Formula Junior around Cadwell is great fun. The elevation changes really test the simple suspension.
This intro song reminds me SO MUCH of Drive My Car, ahahah. It cannot be a coincidence :)
Great stuff, as always!

Also the draft does not seem enough, these cars are like bricks and the draft is a major factor in racing.
GPLaps and AMS2 is a perfect combination!

A lot of Caterham sandwiches at Cadwell's corners, bleeding elbows and smiley faces after the races 😋
Loving the AMS2 content!
I must try this combo. I've been driving the Ginetta G40 and I find that pretty forgiving as I'm not so good yet. Great vid!

The sky boxes / clouds are just so good in AMS2
Mountains in Lincolnshire haha
The old ex-driver cartoon is the only reason i like the r500/super7
♥
Ill email ESPN and send them your videos, so they can watch and hire you to be a commentator. Im not kidding.
What is the pit board app you use?
It is a simhub dashboard, i put a link the description!
What mod gives you the lap times that way in AM2? Is there once for AC as well?
It is a simhub overlay which shows a pitboard at the end of each lap, love it!

Which Caterham is it?
Supersport!
@@GPLapsthe best one in AMS2 !
We had this exact combo of Caterham + Cadwell on RACECRAFT ONLINE ( free to join) just 2 weeks ago!
I notice you always cut away to 3rd person view, just after you've finished bullying the AI into the grass 😂
