I got to cover the Cleveland Grand Prix in '87 when I worked for my hometown weekly in Barberton, OH. It was a great event, great day of racing.

I think this DLC has saved this sim for me, cannot wait to get my hands on the racin USA stuff

In the last year this has become my favorite sim channel! Keep it up man, it really shows that you put alot of passion into this.

Excellent video as always. AMS 2 is really starting to shape up to what I hoped for back in 2015 when I bought this game during Reiza's fundraiser.

Excellent video as always 👍 These cars around Long Beach are a real work out, definitely recommended.

WOW, great racing and video and you sir have just made me buy Automobilista 2 with the USA packs! Best years of CART/INDYCAR IMO. RIP Greg Moore!

Really fun to watch, great work!

I had the special opportunity in 2003 to have a all access pass to the cart race at portland international. Just before the start of the race, Mr. Paul Newman was standing mid track and about 100 yards from the start/finish line. And ignoring the repeated and emphatic disapproval of my liaison, I approached Mr. Newman. I probably said something to the effect of, “oh fuck no, i can’t miss this opportunity.” I approached him with respect and understanding he was a private man and made my greeting and request brief. Mr. Newman looked me up and down and said, “ok, make it quick.” End result, I have a picture of Paul Newman and myself, Mr Newman looking like my short-cool grandpa and me with a big shit eating grin. Cart will always be special to me. RIP Paul Newman. RIP CART. RIP Newman-Haas.

Looks great. The Paul Tracy AI looks spot on.

If my memory is correct, it was at this track on the cool down lap that Robby Gordon swerved into Michael Andretti, apparently in retaliation for something that happened during the race. This track was known to produce a lot of "fireworks."

I went to the 2006 Grand Prix of Cleveland. I was only 10 years old but it sparked my love of racing. They would open pit lane and let spectators walk down past the garages

Long thought CART had to get some Group B-style nostalgia kick eventually. Mind you there's a race winning 1999 Newman Haas Swift that sold for all of $ 56,000 recently. 'Well under estimate' and it didn't surprise me. Somehow it is the greatest forgotten era of racing history.

Yes, the bumps here definitely get your attention. For road courses, of course, there's Mid Ohio. It could be interesting, with 1995 being the last year of the interim layout at Laguna Seca. Just something a little different. For street circuits, definitely the 1995 Vancouver track. That place was just so fast, and quite good in the racing department, too. Regarding ovals from the period, New Hampshire, Gateway, and Michigan seem like good choices to give a wider mix. The 1986 Indy Cars were certainly distinctive in road course and short oval configuration with those giant rear-wing end-plates. Just recalling the 1985 season, fortunately and unfortunately, given who just passed. Glad Big Al lived to see the 4th man join the 4-Time Club, though.

This looks awesome mate. Once the oval racing update is out, I’d probably take the 98 and 2000 cars to Indy (if that track releases) since they never went there for real.

Another great video as always. I did try the download but think I'm going to wait until we do actually have the ovals before buying. I've seen a few of these AMS2 cart videos recently and they are all positive. Mike from Sim Racing 604 thought it was an awesome addition as well. I really can't make my mind up about AMS2, for me it's a love hate thing and after an hour or so I usually end up back on Assetto Corsa. I think the problem is the majority of circuits are little known South American ones and there are virtually no mods for it so basically if what you want is not part of the original Reiza package then you are not going to get it.

Bought AMS2 for these!! Now i am fully in love with all this Sim has to offer, can't get over how good Group C and GT1 is in the rain at Montreal!!

Was testing my new CSL DD in AC with the VRC 1999 Cart at Road America. Soooooo good.

I kind of want to be proud they picked Cleveland for the first race. I had worked as a temp at the IX center the year it opened. And In between, I got to be a "Security Guard" at the Cleveland Grand Prix. Of course I was put some where just to keep people from going into no mans land. But at least I could hear the practice and race. Arigato for this upload. I can't wait to see You do more of this. Senpai is most informative. ❤🤞🦊

Never heard of Cleveland before this DLC, and now I like it! If F1 wants good racing, the should run the US GP there!

This mod for Automobilista 2 is just my dreams coming true.

Not sure if that counts, but Proejct Cars 2 has Indycar licence (and that was the goal for open wheel solo career, after going through the formula things) Looking forward for Oval racing on AMS2

1998 was the season that Sega's Flag to Flag game simulated, I believe. That's important to me personally because that Dreamcast title was what first hooked me on open-wheel sim(...ish) games. Now that I'm old and skilled enough to appreciate what I couldn't as a kid, I'll gladly accept the chance to show what I'm really made of.

because this is a gplaps vid, i can already comment on amazing cinematography without even watching it yet

As a European guy born in the late nineties, I didn't live through the CART era. However, I totally see why everyone loved it. I wished indycar had their own Archive/streaming platform. I'd love to live through the glory days race by race, season by season. Sadly some races from back then are not on KZread

love it have not raced here since papyrus :) Indy cars is all I'm driving in Ams2

you can drive in the formation lap and before the green ! its in the option !

I’ve had to order a 270mm rim, these are absolutely fantastic

I saw some of these cars run in-the-metal on the mile oval at NHIS back in the 90's. Mansell, Mario and Michael, Emmo, Montoya etc. And a heartfelt thanks to Tony George for bringing it all to an end.

This takes me back to the Indycar Imax movie Super Speedway

Ooh skin pack. I think I might have to try and fix AMS2 after the update messed up my PC!

Hey GP, have you seen the channel scarf and goggles? Really well done documentaries covering a lot of the early land speed record attempts, with a particular focus to the inter-war era.

Great, informative vid.

That shift animation through

Man Automobilista 2 going HARD for that 'defacto single player racing sim' spot that AC has held for so long

I was really hoping we’d get Portland or another track that’s not in modern sim racing or barely represented in modern sim racing, rather then Road America. Don’t get me wrong, Road America is a legendary track but…..idk…I’m just burned out on it I guess. I have a million laps around it in many titles and cars and I don’t plan to make it a billion laps.

Looking good, although this appears to be a mash of 98 and 99. Robby Gordon's car is an Eagle and thats from 99.

Apparently, AAR used the Eagle chassis for some races and there were two Penskes and just one Lola in '98. Are all these cars modelled as Lola in Automobilista 2? I agree about the cockpits: they look more like modern ones, while being much narrower back then. Used to wonder how the drivers could fit their shoulders in. Such a design made cars look really aggressive and fast due to a lower drag. A weird thing was to see the AAR liveries from both '98 and '99 racing each other here!

Wow! this looks awesome, enough to make me wanna buy ams2

You can control your car for the formation lap, it's in the race setup settings where you add laps and weather and so on. Also any idea if the skin pack will throw up any errors for multiplayer?

Cool racing , looks like hard work to me with the bumps. Need to be right on it with the throttle to make up any time, easy to mess up accelerating out of the curves.

Let's hope that they can replicate some of the strategy which makes Indycar Racing II so interesting.

They did a good job on the Paul Tracy AI. He tried to hip check you, then cut you off. You're lucky you didn't have to get out of the car next to him after the race, he might have taken a swing at you. Do you remember when Paul ran into teammate Dario Franchitti, and wrecked himself, then almost got into a fight with team owner Kim Green, in the pits? I think Kim had said over his radio something like, "you deserved that Paul". Those were the days. I miss 90's CART.

VRC modding was ahead of the trend on this one.

the VRC indycar in AC is sooo much fun to drive.... it just sucks that AC doesnt have rolling starts... theres always a pile up at the start of races on ovals...even flat-ish oval like indy, the AI drives straight into the pit wall... :( hopefully we'll get all that fixed in AC2 and wont have to touch the pcrap...erm pcars2 engine stuff

Haven't really done a proper race with this car 'n' track combo, mostly because I'm still on rFactor 1 so it's hard to see where the corners are and the rear on the CARTfactor cars set so violent. They really are axe murderers. This looks much more controllable and organic, somehow. Might have to check out.

I really miss this racing era

I bought AMS2 when it came out. It was half finished product IMO. Sporadically I checked what state is AMS2 in and was always disappointed. I never came to grips with it's driving model. But in the last half year, newer cars are more drivable, more enjoyable, but sadly older cars are still a mess. Maybe with a good setups they would be better. With Racing USA2 release, these cars are a joy to race with. I can understand what the FFB is trying to tell me, and I am having so much fun now. AMS2 came a long way. If they could polish older cars (and bugs with older cars) it would be what "AMS2 was meant to be".

Is Vancouver available to drive in this mod? If so old or later layout? The old layout was the best but i think it changed in ‘98.
