Wd gents!
I had a blast in these races, especially the 1st with the close packs. Then I got very lucky early on in the following races, managed to make up a bunch of positions on the first few laps in both. But then it usually has settled a bit, and it was just hotlapping.
Got a few bumps, dealt out a few myself, it's all good fun ;)
-
Thanks for the season wally, was fun, until the last 2 weeks, when my luck ran out and in the last 6 races I had one clean race, rest I ran into already smashing cars or was run into. My results are a lotto which I couldn't bring myself to look at last week and defiantly wont bother this week lol :)

Thanks Wally and all for another fun season, the cars I am not a huge fan of but the racing was great all round. Early this round I was a bit too cautions early and then just got stuck behind lots of guys I really struggled to get past. Was fun trying but it was a very tough place to pass but id be surprised if I didnt get the hunter award the first couple of races as I barely remember a lap not stuck in someones rear across the line.
Last race I figured id try and finish the season off with a bang and went 100% from the green to the end, had a big go 3 wide past a few early and managed to avoid any significant bumps and got to the lead around lap 5 then just tried to keep Matthew and Jeremy off the fastest lap. Well done to them both for making it a real battle to the last race and for winning the team champs.
All did well this season and there wasnt anyone that I had any real issues with only getting caught up in a couple of incidents the entire season so thats a credit to everyone as the racing was real close all season.

More race results in the first post.

Mixed night for me. Race one was solid if unspectacular as planned. Race two started the same but during an ambitious pass in T1 I suddenly found myself flying off track :( . So started race three from near the front which turned to the front as result of a good start. Hoped to have a bit of time to build a gap before the aliens forced their way passed everybody. Sadly i was surprise to have Marty pass me on lap 5 with the rest not far behind. Tried to make life as hard as possible for them but the lightest of touches to the rear of the car ended my run. Apologies to Bird whom I hit in my attempt to turn the car around, the stupid Toyota just does not have enough power to light up the rear wheels.
Really enjoyed the season, thx Wally.
Congratulations to Marty for winning the Championship.

I thought it was one of the best seasons we've had for a while. You always seemed to be in the thick of the action, with lots of close pack racing. The reverse grid format and the slow, predictable cars really helped with that.
The car itself was a little sluggish, often feeling liked it bogged down without a 2.5 gear, but you could still get it a bit sideways so I didn't mind it overall.
The racing was excellent overall, I thought. Given the closeness of the cars and the reverse grid format, this was real "rubbin' racing", and pretty clean mostly.
My races tonight were action packed as always. Race 3 was a bit of a shocker though. I got turned around with a rear hit on lap 1 and sent to the back of the pack, with some gap to the second last car. I fought all the way back to 10th over the next 6 laps only to get caught in someone else's loose moment and sent back to second last. It was such hard work to pass that was a bit of a frustrating see-saw. But I still had fun :)
-
Here is a short video of my first lap of the last race, kind of amazed I had 0 contacts this race as I decided to take some extra risk so credit to all around me for good close and clean racing.
https://youtu.be/AuupeKu0n1k
Race 1 my average gap to the car ahead was .25 lol so no idea how I managed to sneak in the fastest lap in that hectic traffic. I had a bit more breathing room race 2 with average gap to car ahead of .45.

Geez, you were flying at the start!
How many TV's do you watch at once? :)
Another great vid. Thanks.

... Apologies to Bird whom I hit in my attempt to turn the car around, the stupid Toyota just does not have enough power to light up the rear wheels. ...
No probs, mate! I did not lose any positions I would not have lost anyway, I feel (the one to Grat)
Just don't call it stupid, this is the best car I've ever had! And it can easily do donuts, I don't know what you're talking about. :D

Hehe my thoughts too, always impressed with your videos, not too mention your driving prowess.
I just stay that close, always worried about sliding, which happens ;D
-
A great season Wally, although there are comments on the car, everyone had fantastic racing opportunities.
The reverse grid system guaranteed pole for me and really brought out my best racing trying to get every apex, make tough hut fair for the racers to overtake me.
The slower cars helped my slower driving :)
Thanks to all.
-
Have you got yours yet bird
-
Fun season!! Heaps of very tight, close racing. Very forgiving car worked well for the reverse grids I thought.
Good racing last night, my best being race 3. I started up the front, got a good start and made my way into 2nd. I was surprised to see Marty behind me after about a lap, as his video showed!! Ended up getting passed by the Marty, Jeremy, Matthew gang then settled into 4th and watched the team mates battle it out for 2nd in front of me. Good stuff!! :P
Cheers for running another brilliant season Wally!! Appreciate your work.
And congrats to Marty, Matthew and Jeremy for taking the top spots.
:P
-
Have you got yours yet bird
Yes! It's the most fun car I've ever had, a real joy to drive. I can strongly recommend you guys get one, too.
...then we can hit the tracks together and re-create these races :D

Saw one the other day, looks pretty cool. Does it feel like it has power, I am sure a real one would scare me on a track :) , or did it just feel gutless in game, because umm its a game with no sense of speed ? and its a road car at heart ? I am just interested how AC feels compared to real one

AC feels dull compared :)
The things is very lively, precise and turns very well - and I'm using the factory tyres, which are poo-poo'ed all over the interwebs.
It does drive like in AC, and loves to corner with throttle, so AC is fairly realistic, but you don't get the same feeling.
It's not a powerhouse, but it's enough for starters. You can do donuts if that's your heart's desire :)
Those complaining, I reckon, are mostly young ones who want to win street drags with their sport cars against XR6 turbos or v8s. That won't happen.
I've seen people installing stupidly huge wheels and at the same time complaining about lack of acceleration. Hello, you idiot, you just gave a good chunk of it away!
But hey;
- you can install a header + tune + use E85 fuel, and get a ~30 whp extra out of it, which is plenty enough, and this isn't a very expensive option.
- or you can throw on a supercharger or a turbo (there are bolt-on superchargers available!) And get a lot of extra. (this is more expensive, though)
So really, it's just a question of money...for the $30k price this is a lot of fun and a lot of car IMO (although I maybe slightly biased here, hehe)
Edit: Crimespree has done a few mods to it, and has his car modeled in-game, you can try it, check here for the d/l link:

It must be very exciting to drive that one IRL !

Thanks Bird. Its interesting how we drive in game cars compared to real ones :)

Btw if you're interested in how "slow" the car really is, check this one out

Thats a good little video, thanks

Hehe I had a good run and decided to take it and put some trust in me and the others, needed all those angles to see how it was possible there was no contact as it looked rather tight and sketchy at the time.
I kind of got a shock as there was no contact reported especially when many other races I have had a few but can barely remember any of them as they must all have been very light rubs.

Good no nonsense comparison video. I like it. It looks like the car scores well on the fun-per-$ scale.

Lord Kunos just liked Marty's post with some XGN vids here: http://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/dreampack-5-what-cars-would-you-like-to-have.32791/page-3#post-685443
We have been blessed!
-
Yes! Thank you, Lord!
XGN Assetto Corsa community, pray with me:
Our Father in YouTube,
hallowed be your cat.
Your simulator come,
your will be done,
on offline sessions, as it is in multiplayer.
Give us this day our daily teaser,
and forgive us our crashes,
as minorating has also forgiven our wreckers.
And lead us not into the gravel,
but deliver to us version 1.6.

LOL x 2.

Lol father Grat.
Here is a skin you may need in a future season.

That's exactly the point of this car I think :)
On another note, been to the drags yesterday. Did a 16 flat 1/4 mile in my stock Toyota 86 auto. Not too bad.
And I have this pic for you to oggle at:

Geez, I barely recognise your 86 :)
-
well done, very brave of you customising your brand new car! :)

I thought the words "Trans Am" on the side will give it away that it's not mine...;)

I thought you put on a body kit to make it look like a real car, I will go run and hide now. :)

That hurt, Marty, that really hurt. You don't consider it a real car?

A little late but a great race and season congrats to marty on winning it :) the last race was a great way to finish it for me and jeremy, fighting it out to the very end was very close lol

Was only 1 point between you guys so had I not got the fastest lap on race 3 you guys would have been tied for the season.
-
Yeah its funny when its that close you look back and think lucky I got that 1 position or fastest lap lol
-
Yeah! I got the same reaction: it all turned up to be in the 32.758 mistakes I made! Otherwise you'd see grat on the podium! Man, just 32.758 fewer mistakes and...
