This track seems very demanding for my rig... I'm basically at 75/80fps. I hope it won't create issues at the start, with many cars around. For the rest, it is annoying but drivable.

As for the cars: I think I'll go with the long tail. It does not seem to have front wheels (maybe a small one? Like a plane?) and drives very ugly, but at least it goes when it's straight. I really wish I knew how to set it up. Short tail is magnificent, but too slow and I am scared of being in traffic after a pit stop.


Will confirm on other thread tonight.

Also I wont be here for weeks 2 and 3 if there is a sub / reserve who wants a drive :) hopefully sebring and road atlanta are rubbish for the merc anyway :P
I should give my availability as well: I am surely out for R3, R5, R7, R8 :( :( :( and "maybe" for R6. Damn.

Good news is I should be around almost all the time from Feb to August :)

What time are we starting tonight?
1st qually is at 9:15pm Eastern DST.


I might make the races 7 laps with 10 min quallys so the night doesn't go too long.
Now you're confusing me... is DST daylight savings and so it's going to be at 9:15pm in Sydney?

Sure. Makes sense. I'll try to test long tail and mazda in the coming days.

Do we have a fun race this Tuesday?

As of now I have only tested the short tail one---with which I am a bit familiar, so 16 laps may be more representative of like 25 laps.

On mediums and half thank, I can do low 2:14 and sometime 2:13. Low fuel and softs was in 2:12, but rears were staring to let go after 4 or 5 laps.

The problem is that it is so ridiculously slow in the straights and so much better in corners (have a look at the graph. I had a brief race with Seanus and it was hard not to crash given the huge differences in speed at different parts of the track. Have a look at the lap graph comparing mine with Kcender's one in the long tail.


Considering that Kcender's lap was on mediums, right now my impression is that the short tail has too much restrictor. Hell, I could take Eau Rouge and Blanchimont flat out! That should not be ;)

For me not at all. I was really impressed: Tried it first time, drove for 1 hour, zero problems. But my wife tried it once and felt not good after 5 minutes. So I guess it's really a personal thing.

I presume this is the same one I have since January. It is tricky when other cars are around. Last few months before leaving it was working ok, but it had taken me many days of tweaking with all sorts of things to make it work ok. I just hope nothing too much has changes and it will work fine again when I race again with you guys...

Hi all. Completely OT, but I am letting you know I am back.

I am actually bank since more than a week, but was not able to find a chance to touch the rig until last night, when I finally got to drive a bit. I'll probably let the season end, but I am hoping to join you for the off-season fun races.

Cheers!
Welcome back Grat!
Thank you :)

Assetto Corsa Competizione / Re: ACC league discussion
« on: September 08, 2018, 05:47:48 PM »
I share other people's concerns regarding hardware (I only have VR now, so...). If I were to be able to handle it and liked it, I guess I would not be averse to simply choose ACC whenever the Tuesday league opts for a GT3 series. But I would not alternate too often, as otherwise we would have too many GT3s and too little of everything else...

Hi Wally,

it looks like I won't be able to make it tonight. Sorry.

This means last week's race was my last one until October. I will, as usual, pass by the forum any now and then. Happy racing to all!

Other way around: it is the fact I feel I kind of "understand" that sentence that makes AC so great.

But I'll reverse my vote because if I had to miss the '75 season, I would've been gutted. :'(

I hope others will wait for you grat. ;)
(and make it soon, as I'm keen to drive them as well)

That's it, we have to race the 911 till Grat gets back.
You guys are so nice. I am seriously moved.

Whatever you choose, the important is that you have fun. I am sure there will be many more seasons I'll enjoy even if I don't get to race in the one I was hoping for.
