Its a great little car and should make for some close fun racing. Slower than the Cobra but faster than the MX5. With only front camber changes, setup should be a breeze too.

Sorry to hear that your trusty A1's have died, but good that you've got a good set of Thrustmaster's as a back-up.

@ Joe
I could never afford a real Caterham Joe, but when I gave up work to care for my wife I had the opportunity to buy a secondhand Westfield. It is the exact dimensions of the original Lotus Super Seven so as close as I'll ever get to owning my all time dream car. It was ten years old when I bought her with a 20 year old clapped out motor, it is now 20 years old with a 30 year old clapped out motor. Its only had 2 owners and the guy I bought it off set it up and used it exclusively as a track day car, I guess that's why it handles so well. @ Wally Totally agree mate. @Gratulin Thanks Andrew, I will be giving it a run there later tonight. Cheers guys rob 395
Mod Cars / Caterham Academy has been released.« on: July 20, 2015, 03:00:04 PM »
Just a heads up guys that the Caterham 7 Mod has been released.
http://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/caterham-academy-link-in-first-post-r300-cup-and-r500-on-their-way.13639/ I know what you are going to say "not another underpowered little road car" and you are probably right. But it is great fun to drive and as far as I can tell with pretty accurate physics. 125bhp and 575Kg make for a nice little package, and don't believe what some people are saying about too much grip, they really do feel like that. Anyhoo, it won't please everyone, but who cares, it pleases me. lol. rob 396
General Discussion / Re: Budget TV Advice« on: July 19, 2015, 06:20:09 AM »
Hi Joe, out of necessity when I was caring for my wife I had to replace our expensive Sharp TV and could only afford a budget replacement. I didn't have the opportunity to compare brands and just bought a Soniq from JB's
I must say that it's turned out to be a better set than the Sharp (which was rubbish) and after about 4 years I am still happy with it. My only reservation about it would be the sound quality. It's not terrible but just not quite up there with the big boys, but as I play it through a home theatre system it's not a biggie for me. Hope this helps Rob 397

Bruce/Andrew, did a few laps in the Thursday Night XGN Server in the Mazda, everything appears to be working fine.
I think my initial enthusiasm for the Mazda has been tempered somewhat with the level of grip now with v1.1. Way to grippy with the modern performance tires (whatever they are called) but still heaps of fun. If I get a chance I will try it with the 90's street tires. 398

Off-line Bruce. I tried to join the xgn server but the car was red so couldn't join.
I d/led from Race Dept and the zip file had no folder name so I just used the old folder name for the v1.01 (Mazda_Miata). The xgn server car is Mazda_Miata v1.1) so not sure if I named the folder incorrectly or the files from one of the other download servers had a different folder name. When checking other on-line race servers I noticed that they all seemed to be named "Mazda Miata NA" (or something like that). I'm a bit of a neanderthal when it comes to computers so I think I'll leave it to you more savvy guys to nut it out. 399

I have honestly only driven 1 lap of the new version but I new by the 2nd corner at Mosport that they have nailed it. It is probably quite unrealistic with too much grip but what a hoot to drive.

It must be my rubbish driving Andrew.
I have a heck of a job keeping the back end in line with lift oversteer going into high speed corners. 401

Australian Assetto Corsa League, Tuesday nights / Re: S7R7: Mugello Post-Race Chat« on: July 08, 2015, 11:24:37 AM »Race 1. No problem Wally, I wasn't complaining, not looking for blame, that's just motor racing (real or sim). 403

Race 1.
Race was going great and all according to plan until Lap1 T1 when I was taken out with too much damage to carry on. Race 2. Well done Wally on spotting my brain fade. I was trying to follow you under Grubbert and BAFs. We were off the racing line and I thought you were braking a bit early when I realized that I had completely missed my brake marker. I made the mistake of heading for the grass to avoid the inevitable, but of course as soon as I hit the green stuff I was a passenger. Well done mate. Thanks to Grubbert and BAFs for making a really great race, was heaps of fun. 404
