That's all really, just excited to have another dirt racing option. Also lots of other updates. It's pretty nice that if you had the 2020-2022 season pass you have access to the new content already.

A Pt2 of the Adrenaline Pack is already in production and will take AMS2 to even higher extremes - owners of the AMS2 2020-2022 Season Pass and of the AMS2 Premium Expansion Packs are secured both parts at no additional charge.

Oh man, I’ve been waiting for the V1.5 update! All cars now have the new tyre physics.

For those unaware they found out they’ve essentially had a fairly critical issue with the model for years where systems were feeding the model competing information at the same time causing weirdness in physics behavior.

This is a huge change in handling.

I can only imagine the absolute elation of the devs when they figured out the whole problem.

I’ve been looking to give AMS2 another go. Definitely going to take a shot at some career modes.

Tire Models seem to make or break a sim for me. Ever since ACC updated theirs earlier this year I really love driving it. Hopefully the same happens with ams2. I already tried the formula cars that were in the previous update and enjoyed that very much. looking forward to try something slower with this tire model ^^

I totally agree, the ACC update made the game feel much better to me as well.

AMS2 has always been a tier below for me because I found the behavior at the threshold of grip to be very weird and almost slightly unpredictable.

The F1 car I tried with the update seemed so much better and I hope it transfers to the rest of vehicles the same way.

The Adrenaline pack at this point is taking a secondary importance in this patch. Version 1.5 is the result of 4 months of brutal crunching to review every car if not rebuild many after fixing a SMS bug in the SETA tyre model.

Cars should now be much more consistent, offer plenty feeling of grip and slip and all-around be more enjoyable. Everybody who slated off AMS2 should give it a try again with a neutral mindset and just see if it clicks now. If it won’t, then maybe this time it’s safe to say the game’s handling, physics and feel aren’t for you. :)
