Good fun cars. I usually judge a car by how predictably they will slide around corners. This one feels very natural, without the rear just breaking away all the time. Braking hard in a straight line is a challenge though.

Yep, was using 7zip, then used win10s find a program feature which gave me 9zip and another one but neither of them could open it.   Oh well, next time :)

try peazip, never had a problem in years using it

The download page says "Extract to Assetto Corsa tracks folder and race it. Use Winrar 5.21! "
Had a problem using Winzip so downloaded Winrar 5.21 and all good.

Loved the car, once you got the balance of driving nicely against thrashing, it performed very nicely, no wonder they performed well in their day.
Well one miss gear shift in race one put me back in the field and I didn't drive to my potential... funny that.  But enjoyed both main races, quite a few swapped places and pleased to 97+% consistency.
Off to practice :)

Would loved to have joined you all, but downloaded Blackwood and couldn't unzip it for some reason. :(

Same here downloaded it from 3 different sources (at 8 hours a pop because there was no fast server) then couldn't un-archive any of them using Zorin (linux Ubuntu variant) which can usually cope with anything!

I will upload a copy to my S3 bucket and you can try again.

Thanks for the quick results, I do like looking at the Thursday's results.
Well what a great night's racing, with only a small field, once again the car/track combo proved to be fantastic.  It's a pity more don't have the Thursday to come along, they don't know what they are missing.

Well race one, I had possie 2, and stuffed the start, which I can normally nail, tucked in some where around 4/5 and started to work on consistency and with others have an incident slipped  through to finally trying, NOTE: trying, to track down Phil... well I worked out that wasn't going to happen with Phil showing clean exhausts, (my apology for the mixed metaphor), and realised Humper was working on me and concentrated on staying on the track!
Race 2 was a hoot, with having to work hard, very happy to take advantage of a mishap of Phil and ? and slipping through... looking forward to next week... see you there!

So tried out "The Great Wall" today and it's an interesting track. Feels way longer than it is. Really feel sorry for anyone not in a Sierra.....nah wait a minute, no I don't..... ;D

**EDIT**
I have found some holes (of course I would). There are a few walls that aren't collision objects and neither is the terrain if you go through them. "Floaty, never never land"....lol

I have changed the track but not the cars. But then I noticed you have config files under the preset folder. Do you manually copy those files? I didn't want to mess up you configs.

I just pop a copy in the client car folder and use the server manager to do its stuff.  I can name it anything then. There is a way where you name the setup the same as the car but that will end up confusing me
