Due to limited time for practice, not liking this combo much and preferring the escort I'm offering up my spot for someone else on Tuesday nights. I thought I'd pull out now instead of half way through the season.

32
I should be able to make it.

Australian Assetto Corsa League, Tuesday nights / Re: Practice race Oct 4

To me all these gt cars are boring* the same*.. but this one has less tinkering in the setup department. My senior engineer can have some hard earned time off lol

Being everyone is in the same *boat* this season should be interesting.

in please :)

So are we using these cars next season ?  seems to be a lot of effort going into them if not, personally I hope we are not, had a quick go on the server on Sunday night and found them boring and left after 5 mins

I think it takes some time to warm up to them, especially at Barcelona. Id love to see them at mugello or imola, somewhere more familiar for most people.

I like to take either Phil or Marty's setups. It takes no time.

LOL I wish I could drive other people setups well, but I like to make my own and build of others sets if they feel better than my own.

Building these takes ages and more often I'm going backwards from the default, so I only change a few things at once to dial it in and sometimes make a small change and the result is huge when on the track.

I haven't got enough time to make setups for all 3 cars  and I've mainly concentrated on the Ferrari as it felt great at brands, but it feels like poo at Barcelona, especially with ballast even that little bit makes it understeer too much and need massive suspension changes that make it unstable for me.

 I can't get the 458 to handle Barcelona or any other track from brands hatch. No amount of setup fiddling gets good results.

I'm still learning the track at moto and am finding it particularly challenging in the 458. Haven't tried the c7  but the m3 felt much easier to drive even on default setup. Best lap so far offline with a crappy setup and without ballast is a 1.45.45 in the Ferrari, with heaps of area to improve on.

Around VIR the 458 was shocking using my Barcelona  setup and even default.

I think people are going to choose the car they like to drive and comes naturedly for them, no matter if it's theoretically 4 tenths faster or slower than another for the aliens. People have different styles and suit different cars better,  also not everyone sets  their car up to the max potential so I don't see the point in ballast for cars as close as these.

The rx7 is a clear exception being so much faster than the others nearly everywhere and this has the shed load of ballast to keep it even.

Well that was some great racing! The GTRs were too strong this round, but the rx held it's own.

Unluckily got punted off the track in race 1 and lost a few places but kept it together and made a few places up.

Race 2 had some great racing with others, a few contacts but nothing major, was very close racing for the most part in a decent pack.

Race 3 much the same as r2, great racing and the extra few places made up at the end of the last lap certainly helped.

Will have to watch the replays as the racing was fantastic.

Here's my 2c...

18.   insomniac   Ferrari 458 GT2                      01:26.913   +02.751   00:27.043   00:23.523   00:36.347   yes   
21.   insomniac   BMW M3 GT2                         01:27.457   +03.295   00:27.561   00:23.645   00:36.251   yes   
25.   insomniac   Chevrolet Corvette C7R          01:27.662   +03.500   00:27.282   00:23.639   00:36.741   yes   

All on default setups. I find the M3 the easiest and most stable to drive, followed by the C7 and then the 458 but the 458 is the most fun and the quickest around brands hatch for me anyway.

I like to race the escort around brands hatch on the ftw server, so know the track fairly well, on a more unknown track the times could be different but I'm confident around here. With setup tweaking I'm sure there's heaps of time in there.

I like grat don't see BH as a decent gt2 track representing good racing, I think Silverstone, Mugella, Imola etc are better suited to represent and race in these cars.

It will take some time to get used to it especially if your not daily driving a manual trans car and dont use the shifter much in game either. Once you get the hang of it though its much more fun and also gives you much more control, I really hate those street cars without manual trans and slow sequential gearboxes, much more prefer driving anything I can with the shifter.

nailed it :thumbsup:

Weather looks ok for tuesday, 20c for the early race and 26 for the late one with a rain shower maybe good for the gtrs :(

How the track was below ambient air temp last week I don't get?

41
LOL yeah 9% was fun not could not get it off the pit. They're all very close here I think.. I got into the 17s in the gtr and rx7 so far but didn't manage to in the z. Haven't tried the supra,  but from what I've seen of others its fast.

42
I don't mind it for some fun with a max of about 10 people, on the weekend I had some great races on the practice server that were close and yet no dodgem fest either. It's just not as polished as some of the other mod tracks, why can't any decent modders make some aussie tracks for ac? Eastern Creek also looks half finished.

43
Cracking track, looking forward to it, the Supra is VERY fast around here, hopefully can keep the Z and GTR at bay in the rx7. Alongside the usual XGN practice server I have setup the same combo with no varying track grip=100% grip all the time, and 23c ambient and cloudy.  Lots of practice time plus qual and a short race. The usual password for admin, no stracker though.

44
Race 1 public noob server
Race 2 dodgem cars
Race 3 wreck fest

fixed for me lol

I never liked this track from the start, and with 20 odd people racing, it proved me right. The fact people could overtake on the grass on the back straight and falling into the great abyss underneath shows how beta this track really is. Being hit from every angle and squashed etc led to a lot of frustration on my part, so apologies to everyone I slammed into or put out by my own undoings.

My mind wasn't completely in it after being sandwiched and knocked about a fair bit trying to make my way through the chaos of race 1 lap 1. Couldn't get a clean lap together and lost confidence after numerous unforced and forced errors. On many occasions I just felt like quitting but kept going saying it's going to get better when it only got worse haha Race 2 and 3 were no better for me really, need to watch the replays to see exactly what happened but it was more of the same, and being lapped each race was the final straw.

Bring on a proper track like SIlverstone :)

Server should be back up now and seems all fine on this end but I havent checked ingame.

New server IP and so new lap stat data will be at this link.
http://52.65.162.16:50041/lapstat?currservers=acserver

Server works fine ingame.
