Well done.

Still a ways off the top though Logged marty Hero Member Posts: 3747 Karma: -63 Re: Round 3: Mugello Race Chat « Reply #17 on: August 10, 2014, 12:30:56 PM » Quote from: Wally on August 10, 2014, 08:48:18 AMI can't drive GB's setup. I find it too easy to oversteer, and with the damn insta-death kerbs, I'm struggling to keep it on track. And when I try to hold it flat where GB does, I understeer off. I am on hards though... I'm looking for a race setup, not a hotlap setup.Going flat through t6 I can do but lifting for me is safer and not much slower. If you clip the inside kerb it is death there as are many but I remember seeing an onboard video from a real tatuus akd they avoid the kerbs mostly. I will try and find it but havent been able to. If you watch the highlights in the first post you can see they avoid the kerbs mostly but some you can use and some you cant use too much.Race wise I find that setup with more wing pretty good, just if going flat through sections you need to be very precise. I did 12 laps on hards at pretty good pace without issues but its just a tricky track as it needs lots of commitment and precision with very little room for error line wise.

Time of about 1:50 he is using a bit of kerb here mahbe a little more then I use in a couple spots.[youtube]b_7nNujWE6g[/youtube]I suspect they only run hard tyres only and have heard they only get very limited tyres for the full race weekend. Lap times from 2013 were 1:47 the quickest I saw but site is in italian and I didnt check all qually and race sessions. They arent racing at Mugello this year, its quite likely drag is a little low on the AC version still as going higher df works quite well at mugello but running much lower downforce the real times are closer to what is possible in AC.

That's how I would like to drive - i.e. with that amount of kerb, but you can't.

Guybrush was testing out Ballast by running a full tank over the 8 lap race and I just ran enough for 12 laps here with this being the final lap.[youtube]OhlNEwcO70U[/youtube] Logged Wally Administrator Hero Member Posts: 11036 Karma: 152 AC Admin Re: Round 3: Mugello Race Chat « Reply #23 on: August 10, 2014, 10:03:26 PM » Nice one. Yeah, there are ways of simulating ballast, but I'd prefer something that can be enforced on the server.

His set up actually has the floor pan about 2 inches lower than the contact point of his tyresI was bottoming out yesterday on other people's tyre marks. .. « Last Edit: August 11, 2014, 09:54:33 AM by Dick Forrest » Logged Bird Administrator Hero Member Posts: 2324 Karma: -666 Ysu Re: Round 3: Mugello Race Chat « Reply #26 on: August 11, 2014, 10:43:58 AM » Yeah his secret is the HUGE contact patch given by the undertray, that's why he can take corners flat out... Logged Gratulin Hero Member Posts: 2159 Karma: 44 Re: Round 3: Mugello Race Chat « Reply #27 on: August 11, 2014, 10:51:05 AM » Yep. Guybrush's set - the one with the removable wheels With my quadraphonic sound system I can hear which end is scraping!Thanks GB for another great setup! The first version was fast but the latest one is now very controllable as well. Logged Guybrush Threepwood Hero Member Posts: 2133 Karma: 69 Re: Round 3: Mugello Race Chat « Reply #28 on: August 11, 2014, 10:55:18 AM » The under tray is made of rubber right?...I get beached if I go into a sand trap and stop, which is often the case in real life with these things.If you stay off most of the curbs and take certain lines it shouldn't be a problem. The places where you will bottom out are anything other than the inside of corners 8 and 9, and the outside of the last corner. It should be fine everywhere else.

I found that raising both ends by about 20 ticks (millimeters I think) Will alleviate the issue greatly. But I'm not good enough to tell if the handling is really changed or not. « Last Edit: August 11, 2014, 11:16:58 AM by Bird » Logged Print Pages: 1 2 3 4 ... 8 « previous next » Xtreme Gaming Network / Simulation Racing Leagues / Assetto Corsa / Australian Assetto Corsa League, Tuesday nights (Moderator: Wally) / Round 3: Mugello Race Chat
