I don't have a problem kicking non league members out of the room till the race starts then they can join all they want to watch how racing is really done.Worried about AC, though, because of a tweet by them saying they will have only public servers for consoles at the start. If there's no private lobbies/servers, that pretty much kills league play....
I pre ordered AC and im definitely excited to get on it but, for some reason, from all videos, reviews and chronics about it I have a feeling that AC will be more as a pontual alternative to project cars than a replacement thing.
Of course final opinion will come after playing it but AC looks limited in terms of cars and mostly on tracks.
Let's see in about a week and a half. (Yes, I know it will be ready for download on the 30 but I will be away on vacation until Sept 4)

From all the videos, I have the feeling that the physics will be considerably better than PCars. I honestly don't care that much about having a ton of cars, but tracks are another matter. There are only so many laps you can run on the Nordschleife (at last count, I really can't stomach anything over 1.500 laps with the same car there...).Id say I'm expecting the same as you. I think it'll be simpler and more user friendly than PCARS, but if the physics aren't on a different level of realism, it may just be another high quality option.
Also, @Schmiggz, thank you for the tip. I'm travelling, but have left the PS4 hard wired at my mom's place (it's a long story) and hopefully AC will be there when I get back on the 31st.
I agree with DPWhat makes something club and not league? Less scheduled racing but still with a set of rules for when you do?
Yeah, I think that is going to have to do for a little while. I'm slowly convincing myself that it will be necessary to bite the bullet and give PD some more money... Damn it all to hell.@FlipJ i hate to be a Debbie downer, but I just don't have a lot of faith that controllable spec racing will be in the cards until GT7 arrives. I am brainstorming something new, but it would be more "club" and less "league".
Really? I thought you didn't care for high down force race cars. My son wants me to buy F1, but I still haven't gotten into Dirt Rally yet. It's been collecting dust for two months. Then with Assetto coming in a few days, there's just not enough time! But... How is the racing in F1? As a huge F1 fan I think I'd get into it. My son played the crap out of the 2011 version on PS3. I picked that up at GameStop for like $13.Ha! It's ok. Been playing F1 this week.

the driving is absolutely amazing in terms of feeling, tires, physics, brakes, downforce...
2 available pre set wheel button configuration??? Whaaaat?
Choice A or B? Not how I WANT IT?
I don't know him, but I like his style already. Will google that review.@Lessen
This is when you realize how unreliable those youtubers are in order to, most of all, tell what game companies want them to tell in order to keep sending them all sorts of free stuff!!
Yesterday, Inside Sim Racing posted a video on Youtube with the moto: "is it true that Assetto Corsa dumbed down in the consoles" as apparently all computer users are saying and the host guarantees that "absolutely not" so he does his review listing and pointing all the good things AC has only mentioning as negative the fact of not being possible to open private rooms, the not inclusion of non European tracks and that the 102 cars are actually 86 with some of the models having 2 or 3 variations.
Everything else simply out of this world.
That's why i love Empty Box. That guy doesn't owe anyone nothing. If it's ****** he'll say it's ******, period.
Honestly, I'd be cool with the honour system. Yes, it's nice to win, but it's nicer to have fun, good battles and earn the respect of my fellow racers.So, how would you guys feel about a multi-platform/format good faith spec club? Maybe we hold a race once a month like we did the Group A Cup. Not always the same game. Not always the same format. Where the only things set in stone are clean racing and spec cars.
