McLaren Mercedes MP4/12 at Nürburgring GP 2025 | Automobilista 2 Multiclass | Clip 01/03 |

Clip 01 of 03 – The legendary McLaren Mercedes MP4/12, a Formula 1 icon of the late 1990s, takes on the Nürburgring GP circuit in a thrilling multiclass race event within Automobilista 2. This race weekend brought together two distinct classes of open-wheel machinery: the Formula V10 Gen1 from the AMS2 DLC and the F1-1996 Mod, creating a field that mirrors the incredible variety and intensity of a classic Grand Prix grid.

Jockamo climbs into the cockpit of the MP4/12, powered by its screaming Mercedes FO110E V10, and sets out against a mixed field of competitors ranging from modded mid-90s F1 machinery to the official DLC’s Formula V10 Gen1 cars. The result is a breathtaking spectacle: different eras of speed and engineering clashing wheel-to-wheel on one of Europe’s most technically demanding tracks.

Car Highlights – McLaren Mercedes MP4/12 (1997):
Engine: Mercedes FO110E 3.0L naturally aspirated V10 producing ~730 HP
Transmission: Semi-automatic sequential gearbox with lightning-quick shifts
Aerodynamics: Sleek, late-90s aero package blending low drag with significant downforce
Legacy: The MP4/12 was a pivotal car in McLaren’s path back to F1 dominance, foreshadowing Mika Häkkinen’s 1998–1999 championship wins
Driving Challenge: Demands absolute precision, as traction and braking are raw compared to modern F1 cars

Multiclass Dynamics – Formula V10 Gen1 vs F1-1996 Mod:
Formula V10 Gen1 (AMS2 DLC): Loosely modeled on the late-90s F1 spec, with more refined aero and suspension technology
F1-1996 Mod cars: Older chassis with slightly less downforce, mechanical grip-heavy handling, and more analog driver input
Together: Creates natural variation in cornering speed, braking zones, and acceleration, making traffic management a key part of the race strategy

Track Highlights – Nürburgring GP (2025 Layout):
Distance: 5.148 km (3.2 miles) of modern Grand Prix tarmac
Corners: Mercedes Arena for tight battles, Schumacher S for high-speed direction changes, and the NGK Chicane for heavy braking duels
Elevation: Subtle but critical undulations that test balance under braking and acceleration
A venue where power, grip, and bravery all must align for a perfect lap

🎥 Captured in 4K UHD cinematic replay mode, this opening clip emphasizes not only the MP4/12’s piercing V10 scream but also the contrast of performance across the multiclass grid. Expect tense moments threading through slower traffic, high-RPM assaults down the straights, and the raw aggression of late-90s Formula 1 brought vividly to life in Automobilista 2.
