  • History of the Delage and Opel Rennbahn. Oval racing in the 1920s. Authentic 20s machinery hammering away. Science experiments. The first V12 engines. Racing was a different concept in the 20s. I am running out of words to describe how much fun I am having experiencing a slice of this awesome era. I hope you enjoy, I can't wait for even more!

      I like that he always credits the mod makers. This clearly took so much work. I love jimmy too but I remember one video that he made, which got a few hundred thousand views, where he didn't even mention the mod he was using, seemed wrong as he was making some money off the video and mod makers usually make nothing or very little for hundreds of hours of work.

    I cant believe people rate track rips 5 stars and are completely ignorent over how much work goes into a track like this. The detail and immersion are outstanding. This is bringing exciting racing history to people like me eho had no idea this track ever existed. Its clear to see that this took a lot of work and... Its not even finished yet!?

    Thanks for the lovely review. There's a few frustrations with making these cars, mostly with finding out good technical info and getting a good look at little details on the cars themselves, so it's rewarding to know that people enjoy them. Very much agree about the track too, it's great fun to hot-lap around and your video really conveys how much fun it is to race against the AI.

      Loving the work you've done here, this in itself might be enough to get me to get AC. You're right to point out how difficult it is to get info about the cars of this era - so much innovation going on. It gets even harder when you look at the more obscure entries (Parry Thomas' Flatirons eg) - brilliant work on your part, from what I can see

      @@colinmarkwick141 Thanks. Yes, it's one of the hardest parts of the process, you often find info that completely contradicts info you've found elsewhere or if it agrees you start to wonder if they've just copied what they've found elsewhere. I try not to be too strict on accuracy because I couldn't make the cars if I was but it's something I try to achieve if I can.

From cruising around Shunto or LA Canyon online with buddies, drifting through a car park, or trying to keep your vintage rubber on the track at Watkins, it honestly feels like there's something for everyone. I had no clue the game even existed just two years ago as I had initially built a PC for truck sim. To date I've got somewhere like 600 hours, and a embarrassingly large amount of GB in mod storage, logged in AC. So yeah, do it my friend.

    For the old European ovals, parabolic banking was the norm, whereas here in the States, it's flat banking (same degree of slope all the way across).
    You were just barely off a 33-flat for your fastest lap, so an average speed of 101.6 mph.
    One of the ovals I haven't actually seen a race at is Montlhery, strangely enough. Maybe you can rectify that at some point.
    It's maybe floating around somewhere, but it would be interesting to see a recreation of the actual pre-War Monza, including the original banking.

I probably wouldn’t have half the time i’ve logged in sims without vr, there’s just something so special about sending an old lamborghini, a 98t, a nascar, whatever have you, around your favorite tracks in vr. I get truly lost in it sometimes, because it’s just so damn cool to be able to look around the cockpit, or to look over and see a wheel millimeters from my sidepod. 11/10 would recommend.

    The Delage 2LCV is a pretty rare sight nowadays apparently. Most, if not all of the cars, were upgraded further in 1924 and 1925 (when they fitted superchargers, taking the power output to around 190bhp claimed by the factory, which is pretty high for 1925). And after their competitive careers were over, they ended up in private hands and slipped into obscurity.
    But one early 2LCV (that looks a lot like the one in the video, apparently it is the first ever 2LCV) survived to the present day, though fitted with a WW1 Hispano-Suiza aircraft engine that had been fitted by an owner in 1926. It is now known as the Bequet Delage (or Delage Bequet), after the owner of the car in the 1920s who fitted the aircraft engine, a man named Maurice Bequet.

    Most of these manufacturers died in the after-WWII years, with the Plan Pons deciding which manufacturer had to make what kind of cars and get ressources, there was no room for luxury automobiles.

      Re the Targa Florio - here, go and live your dream. www.patreon.com/abulzz I've attempted the circuit in AC so many times, normally in cars of this period, but every time I seem to get humbled at one point or another; I'll concentrate for half an hour straight, then with one momentary lapse I'm in an impossible position facing down the side of a hill...the endurance, and the sheer skill, of the drivers who mastered it was incredible.

    Set these jewels up last night on this track but it crashed on loading, probably because there is no AI line. Will try again today with your AI addition. I set them up and raced on the Sitges track with the old Bentley and merc added. As you say the most fun I have had in ages. A perfect way to learn some automotive history. Thank you very much for this - A treasure.

    Gorgeous car and track. I'd love to see that car pack on the 1923 version of Le Mans, but similarly would love to see some CART or a Richie Evans style car at the tiny oval.

    Thanks for uploading your AI, Sir. That's something I need to learn to do in AC. Really want to try these cars out. I've been trying to build a collection to have a sort of Goodwood Revival thing and this is a fantastic addition.

      Many of us do, but the biggest barrier to creation is doubtless the lack of data, especially for cars that have either been completely lost to time or modified far beyond their in-period specification.
      As for data implementation, not many Sims can accurately replicate early suspension solutions; your best shot at which at the moment I believe is Beamng Drive, but even then that's still a long way off from being a comprehensive, serious simulator for Motorsports applications; even with how detailed the physics system is thus far.

    I loved this video. Things like this are why I love AC so much. Not everything should be about modern F1 and GT3 cars even if that is what the majority demands. I just wish I had a powerful enough rig and a wheel to properly play this game to its fullest potential. I can barely run any races without getting the "99% CPU usage" warning.

    Great content again Jake. Like everybody else your narration with educational passion is fantastic. Your a great raconteur. One thing on my bucket list is to learn more about pre war racing. I know quite a lot after WW2 but still have a lot to learn on pre war. It really sounds interesting and how you've analysed it so far.
    One thing that intrigues me (maybe someone could answer?) Why oval & banking racing seemed to decline after WW2 in Europe but in the states it stayed quite popular?

    Awesome video as always, and great to see you come out with a win! On the topic of French race cars, have you heard of the Delahaye 145? There's an awesome book about it, and 1930s grand prix racing called Faster, I highly recommend it!

      @miniblitz16 Před 3 lety

      @@Villoresi That last part is the funniest part to me. Hitler's silver arrows losing to a French team, with a Jewish driver, whose team was owned by an American woman. I don't think history could have written a more perfect ending to a story.
