A Retro Indy Fan's Dream - CART '98 in 1.5.3 Automobilista 2

Fun fact: After Dario won this race in '98, he and Greg woke up the next morning on the front lawn in front of their hotel! 😂

I cant believe how good racing sims are nowadays. From just decades of tweaking the tire models and physics to what you can achieve in your home with great racing sim hardware. Great stuff!

Jake always gets you in the mood for racing. The most contagious sim tuber out there.

If you get bored of sim racing you should totally write a book on motorsport history. I'd buy it!

You should DEFINITELY so a full season on AMS2. Can add Montreal interlagos and Jacarepaguá as scheduled fillers 👌🏻👌🏻

Thanks for putting this up! I immediately went and got this! I used to go to the CART races at Laguna Seca, talked to Herta, Fittipaldi etc. I did racing school there as well, and I was in the stands for the famous "the pass" of Zanardi over Herta in the corkscrew. Getting these cars back after all these years feels like coming home! Brilliant liveries, physics and AI. This game rocks!

My favourite era of open wheel cars EVER, at one of my favourite tracks ever? Boy you're spoiling me today Jake!! <3

I followed CART all the time in those days and attended several races. This sim would be awesome.

Your videos are fantastic. Hearing you get deep into the history of the sport is great! Should be a podcast

I think that is the era that have the best cars

Road America is local to me and I've been attending races there for 30yrs. I now run many laps there on my sim. I watched this race live on tv and remember the Bryan Herta turn 5 incident. I'm thinking Michael Andretti and Al Unser Jr may have still been racing at this time as well as Bobby Rahal, whom Herta was driving for. Regarding the train on the back side I knew there was a track back there but on AMS2 is first I've seen a train on it. Cool AMS2 is my new favorite sim after using AC for last few years. Side note: Give the V8 Super cars a try on either RA or Watkins Glen. What a hoot they are to drive.

After your last video I took the jump and bought AMS2 and I'm hooked! Awesome video btw, I know what I'm doing after work :D

Some of the best years for Indycar but also some of the saddest. I met Greg Moore on the Gold Coast in 99 but 2 weeks later he was gone😓

I remember that Herta crash vividly... It was one of the Gurney AAR Toyotas that climbed up his car. Took what seemed forever to get the car off and get him out, but he just walked away... The Herta's have a knack for scaring the crap out of people with their crashes... See Colton's Indy flip on board... Great vid as always. LOVE the AMS2 updates. They got it right. Finally.

My fav fuel saving tips : lift eary in the braking zone, let the car coast just a BIT longer through the curve, and dont top out on the big stretch, rather hold the throttle at 90% so if top speed is 300km, hold at 295. hope this helps anyone who reads this edit: if you THINK you need fuel, go in at 3 laps left, grab fresh tires while youre there. its gonna take a lap to warm the tires and another lap to break into the time loss for pitting

Jake: I just might let him go, need to save tires and fuel. Also Jake: Throws everything but the kitchen sink at the Penske to keep him behind.

Your AMS 2 videos have convinced me to buy my first gaming PC in the next month or so. Gonna get something refurbed and fairly low cost for now and enjoy some long distance IndyCar AI races. Looking forward to places like Road America, Cleveland, Indy, Gateway and some fantasy races like Adelaide

This is incredible!! My favorite era of IndyCar racing back to life. Thank you for this amazing video 🙌🏾

I really love the AMS2 content ❤ thank you

Great Fun ... this indycar racing looks very accurite indeed !!! Made my morning !! 🏁🏁
