Maybe they need to put up "no loitering" signs
If we have a race tonight I'll try sitting in the pits after hitting drive and see if it starts me there. 2012

Would be good to have a "fun race" as a trial. Slip-streaming would be implemented before the next season though if it's in the July 18th update. 2013

Ah OK. Well as suggested maybe it is when, between the qual time ending (chequered flag out) and the actual end of the qual session - the "ESC - back to pits" is used and we start from the pits. 2014

I haven't started from the pits yet and every time I've made sure I've been out on track when the qual session ends. Perhaps it occurs for anyone still in the pits at the end of a qual session so you don't have all these cars that aren't participating (AFK) out on the starting grid at the start of the race for everyone to run into. 2015

Assetto Corsa / Re: Poll: Car for season 2« on: July 02, 2014, 10:16:08 PM »Btw, we just had a half a race in AACL in these cars...what can I say; it's a tad boring. There's little happening in these cars, and since there's no bump drafting, overtaking is extremely hard. Do you mean regular drafting or slip-streaming Bird? Bump drafting is what they use in NASCAR when one car bumps the other car in front from behind to increase it's speed while the trailing car doing the bumping also gets an increase in speed from the slip-stream. They do this multiple times on a straight to draw away from a pack or just because it increases the overall pace around a track. Will be interesting to see how the Tatuus goes in a race. Hopefully it leads to close racing... maybe we can give it a run Thursday night? The race a few of us had the other night seemed to be nice and close. 2017

I don't think that's true, I heard Wally whistles in binary code so he can program while racing. What's more he whistles binary at 4.6 Ghz, and if overclocked using liquid cooling he can push up to 5 Ghz. After that he overheats, crashes and sits in the corner wearing his underpants on his head, rocking back and forward sucking his thumb. 2018

Racing was good Viper. I get the red mist a bit as well and can sometimes turn an inch into a car width myself. There was once incident where I was on the inside of a car going around T3 and they bumped me off which spat me onto the grass - I looked around when I was entering but you must have been in my blind spot or still coming around the corner as somehow when I re-joined I bumped into you, so sorry about that one. 2019

Just ran a few laps of Mugello and got to a setup I'm happy with. Got me within 3/4 a second of the WR. It's in the dropbox link.

'Twas a good night again boys, although my memory of both races has faded somewhat.
First race I got off the line OK and was coming up on Darren and a few others on the inside of the start straight. I decided to switch to the outside as it looked fairly packed with everyone going for the one apex. Anyway, there seemed to be a few bumps and I went around the outside and come into T2 just behind Darren. From there we had a good battle for a lap or so with some decent side-by-side racing. I locked up on the inside of Darren going into the "carrousel", but luckily he saw it all coming and gave me room to shoot through into the gravel. I don't recall much else other than being behind Vipergod for a bit and unable to pass. Then passing a black car just before the finish which I was thinking was a back-marker just stuffing around, but turned out to be Darren out of fuel! Second race was absolute chaos going into T1. I saw a white car had spun in the middle of T1 so I went to one side of it and got pole-axed 3 or 4 times trying to just get going. I got hit, then started to get going and got hit again, then started to get going from outside the track and got hit again and so on. Anyway, I was racing a few cars in front once I did get going but got in a tangle which sent me backwards again. Once I got going again I realised Darren was behind me and we had another good fight with Darren eventually getting in front as I braked a bit early into T1 allowing for another car ahead, to which Darren took advantage and swooped up the inside, so a nice move. From then on I was pretty much stuck to Vipergod's rear bumper and we had a good race to the finish. Vipergod showed some good nerve by not making a mistake under pressure which would have let me past. Looking forward to Mugello now 2021

Stop making me laugh aloud in the tea room at work... I might have to explain to someone why!
CramDick for the win! 2022

Mugello is probably my favourite track in AC, although I'm not the quickest around it. Love the mix of undulating track, fast and medium speed sweeping corners.

Assetto Corsa / Re: Poll: Car for season 2« on: June 30, 2014, 02:48:53 PM »You could just be slower GuybrushIs there any chance we could have a break for a couple of weeks between season 1 and 2 Wally? The rest of my life is starting to feel neglected!I normally have a break for a week or two, with a fun run in something completely different, and a familiarisation race in the next season's car. It's the car setup that takes all the time. Especially when you're not completely experienced with it like me and for some things it's a bit of trial-and-error. Besides all that though, someone has to get close enough to Darren to knock him off the track! 2025
Assetto Corsa / Re: Poll: Car for season 2« on: June 30, 2014, 11:26:57 AM »Bummer. I never raced NKP. Was the F1600 a Formula Ford? That would be great in AC... hopefully Kunos have their eye on doing one themselves. I don't think the Tatuus is any more forgiving than the E30 though if you are driving it at the limit. Personally I think any of the winged open wheelers are harder to drive at the limit because once you step over the line they usually snap and you end up either in the gravel or loosing a bucket of time trying to re-stabilise them. Most of the road cars give you a bit more room to catch a slide, etc. But horses for courses and all that... I do see where you are coming from though as up until you over-step the limit the FA is quite a stable car. |
