This week I will adjust ballast manually for those that deserve it :)

lol I'm working on the basis that ballast will help to settle the car on the banks while having no affect on the majestic Ferrari's top speed!!

You're not wrong. The 908LH nearly has a competitive lap time but I just can't tune the suspension enough to maintain speed in the banking!!

it doesn't, 200kg brings me back to 2.30 lap times and make the car a wild bucking bronco beast

Should we go back to Monza 66 Road Course with the F40 given a 50kg ballast, all the practice people have done will not have been wasted
and if the F40 is no fun to drive with heaps of ballast, it defeats the purpose of Thursday night racing being about FUN.

OK, leave track as is but maybe reduce ballast to 150kg or less.

I only went up to 200kg in testing, it is what I will run, most will have 100 or less I reckon

Sounds like a good plan.

guess I'm done before I'm started as I'm getting no love from Assetto Corsa and still hitting the same error message.....granted I've only ever raced online for AC one since getting the game a year ago, but I know it shouldn't be this difficult and obviously there is either a bug, or password, or error on my part that is causing but  after nearly 50 mintues of stuffing around I'll crawl back into the hole I came out from and hope it can be fixed before next week...

1ST of all Apologies to all the other Porsches I ran into before the final turn lap 1, missed the brake marker.

I knew that pitting  would screw me over and it didn't disappoint with the pit menu flashing up on the screen for about 1/3 of a second before
vanishing  ???, and I tried a few times. Obviously I should have used the pit config app but forgot that it existed beforehand.

Aside from that I was enjoying the race quite a bit. I expect the porsche to be a lot more competitive on the tighter tracks, it seems to
have better brakes than the Ferrari and GT40.
