- This is our tribute to a great racer - Gil de Ferran sadly left us way too soon one month ago on December 29, to an outpour of tributes from the racing world on both sides of the Atlantic.
Throughout his career, Gil managed to remain both liked and respected by all - a rare achievement in motorsports. During his career in America he became a favorite in an era full of favorites - humble, likeable, and yet still fiercely competitive when out on track. No-one could begrudge when the hard-earned success finally came his way with championship victories in 2000 & 2001.
One of his most celebrated achievements as a driver was his closed course record at Fontana during qualifying for the 2000 500-mile race, in a performance that fully displayed his best attributes as a racing driver - incredibly precise, technically astute at setting up the car, working diligently alongside his team to get the best out of the machinery.
It´s a performance from a by-gone era of motorsports - one in which drivers and teams could throw everything they could reach towards pushing the limit just a little further, The era is gone and sadly so are some of the men that made it be, but sim racing provides us a way to vividly remember them and to continue cherishing their achievements.
This video reproduces that record run using the same Reynard 2Ki chassis used by de Ferran´s Penske team - a couple of warm-up laps followed by the real quick one coming close to Gil´s record-breaking 241.428 mph (388.537 km/h) lap. The video also demonstrates updated external sounds for the F-USAs, better representing the mighty 2.65l V8 engines of the time which at this point were approaching 1000 HP, and which in light of Gil´s passing we felt compelled to fast-track development for - it is available with the V1.5.5.4 release of AMS2 that came out just yesterday. - Hry
I was born in 1991 in South America. As a motorsport fan, Gil was one of my childhood heros. Rest in Peace, Champion.
Thank you for adding this and continuing to improve your IndyCar content.
I saw CART for the first time in 2001. He was crowned for the second time. I was immediately fan of him. RIP Gil.
Pretty amazing how close that jet fighter sound is in the long corner shots compared to the real run. Fitting tribute, I find - no bells, no whistles, just awesome sound and crazy speed.
obrigado Gil!
a lovely gesture.
Great tribute. RIP Champ.
An excellent tribute and motorsports history lesson
AMS2 is the best. Hands down. No competition.
241.428 mph ❤
Well done for putting this on 👏👏👏♥️
AMS2 is the best racing sim with the best devs and best community
@@____________________ok so then I'm guessing your speaking from experience and actually race these cars irl?
@@____________________ok oh really so you've driven every car irl and then compared it to the sim?
Barulho do motor bem legal.
Hope this game is coming to consoles
The cars in game don't have that high pitched sound during onboards.
This is fantastic and all, but like, can I have the setup? #241.428mph
I love CART oval racing, but I can't get any of the cars to match the AI turn in speed and be stable over the bumps.
first of all , I'm not good at English. sorry for that.
when i inconvenient to use steering wheel ,i think use mouse to steer is very nice, but ams2 mouse control have damp ,even the steering damping set 0,and the wheel rotate angle just 180, so the mouse control feels very strange. then i try to use vjoy control this game ,i mapping it to custom wheel ,and its success. but in the game the wheel is not move. Anyone konwn how to sovle it. or
hope reiza can optimize it.
At least I need update group a car Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 And change to German group A to Group A.
It's time for a new automobilista, no? Imagine, Automobilista 3, bealtiful graphics and lound exhaust, my dream
AMS2 still has a lot to give.
Great respect .
