Hey Guys, I thought I finally had my pc sorted (phew) and ready to give it a try tonight, but I can't see any AC servers online. All other programs seem to work OK.Hi Rob glad to see you are up and running again, nothing wrong with your computer Kunos servers appear to be down at the moment :'( :'(
Checked my firewall exceptions and Steam, AC, and AC launcher are all there.
Help out a poor frustrated luddite and tell me what am I missing??

Hi,I have put my setup on PTracker for this car Imp, turbo comes on with a vengeance :o :o :o
Can I have a Celica please. No idea what that's like but might as well give it a go.
That's a shame, fun track and good racing I thought

Well that’s the end of the dream....
In what I can only call a shocker I ended up having a night long battle with the bumps, a lack of grip and the trackside grass. I really thought the long legs of the Ferrari would have worked well here and that I’d be able to cope around the corners, how wrong I was. With the pace of the Fords up front I could never qualify better than I did in 4th and I must admit it was a real gift when the grid was a four wide front row and I powered off into the lead knowing it was only a matter of time before the field went past. Needless to say it seemed p2 was cursed as each time someone went past me into 2nd they later spun (without my assistance) and I managed to steel 2nd place.
The reverse grid race was damage limitation as I saw my championship lead disappear each time the fat Ferrari found a corner and it really was bloody hard to hang on, wishing I didn’t have force feedback turned on as it was an effort to simply steer the car over the bumps. If only there was a stadium truck option for this round it might have been a better pick.
The long race was difficult too, knowing how bad the Ferrari was as doing anything involving turning the wheel I decided to make it a 1stop race and hope that with fresher tyres I might salvage something other than dead last. Early in the race there was an Escort which slid into me, resulting in me sliding into Bacchulum and I decided to do the right thing and wait for my championship rival to recover. Needless to say I never saw him again, such was the speed of his Capri. Taking a pit stop mid race didn’t work and I think I was very lucky not to finish dead last.
For those thinking about the Ferrari I would suggest it’s taken with great caution and used on a billiard table smooth track. Granted I have no idea when it comes to setups but with running 1 in toe-in made a massively improvement and if you know how to make a softly sprung car handle then it could be a weapon, however I fear these issues are something which would have taken a new model car to improve.....
I had decided to use the Facetti for Silverstone but after reading Bradc report I may have a rethink. I just want at least one car track combination that is not testing me to the limit, the only car I have felt comfortable and competitive in has been the Zakspeed Capri :'( :'(
Last patch, apart from graphical tweaks, just reduced the Turbo lag so if anything the Porsches should bit quicker. And which Porsche? there are four of them.Haven't really done much testing of any of the cars and tracks so it could just be me. But the tyres certainly did cook at this track with the Escort. As for the porsches, the only one I had driven was the K3, it seemed to turn in ok and was competitive when we did the pre-season practice race but had no chance at the previous round and Mael was way of the pace here, it could be just a track thing I suppose (or porsche thing as bacchulum puts it). Any way if there hasn't been any real changes in the update then its just the way it is, thanks Gee
Was the Escort overly hard on tyres just at this track or all the time? I can increase cooling, other wise it's just one of the differences between cars.

Sorry.... I actually think Silverstone should be the track for the Facetti as it’s fast, smooth and has minimal corners, so it should be a real weapon there....
