Assetto Corsa Time Attack Challenge

[Saidur_Ali]

This is with RSR pro settings, keeping it real

Mostly stock setup. I've got no where near the grip of the lap in the video posted previously.

Tempted to do another lap as it is in my cheating range.

What were your sector times out of interest?

Had another go. This one is on RSR... although I've just checked and it isn't appearing for some reason so I'm unsure of the sector times.

Just drove the car into the pits - like, literally. 🤬. I'm so done right now. Sadly I didn't even manage a complete lap which is quite embarrassing, given how much time I've spent on virtual versions of this track. Congratulations to everybody who managed to drive a complete, valid lap.

Despite the challenge being over, I plan on running this combo again, probably on Monday. Really was fun!

So I left it at only one valid complete lap, never tried again in the end. Happy to get up to 90 points like I wanted. Maybe due to new version of game, RSR may need to be updated so it is compatible.

I lost 4.121 seconds on first sector, 6.705 on second sector and 14.874 seconds on final sector compared to world record time so can see how tentative I became as lap went on. I think that is more down to tyre temperatures making the car handle like on a knife edge and also inexperience with track as don't know where all the bumps are and huge boost in 3rd gear is enough to go into barriers. Didn't seem to benefit much from the power as getting similar speeds as with lower power but getting more savage power delivery and probably higher tyre temps which made me more timid so was out of the power band more often.

I think I did a similar thing when I first drove it. I don't have much experience of the track but felt also quite embarrassing I struggled so much to complete a valid lap, first time on Assetto Corsa though. Think if I can get power delivery where I want it and temperatures down a little and more stability then it would be quite a fun combo. Will be interesting to see how V5 tyre model will affect car, tried the LaFerrari and seems to lock up brakes a lot more easily and also longer braking distances so seems a lot slower than before.

You can see my lap below, saving my worst for the last round :

I put a couple of laps down in the Countach and at least one in the new Ruf and RSR picked them up as usual. It has to be switched on in the game menu of course and in game for it to pick up the lap. Not sure if turning it on in game is new or not, but I was running some laps and forgot to open the app and when I did open the app, it said I had no time recorded. Can't remember if it was like that pre-update...but probably.

Nice driving Saidur 👍

About Assetto Corsa physics:it needs more improvement because driving like that at the Nordschleife is unrealistic
It seems that not only in GT cars have too much grip.

Thanks, hard to know without real data but I get feeling the car is too good in the corners and braking. Power delivery doesn't feel right but might be able tune it so it does as it seems too savage. Also the tyre temperatures rise up a lot on straights, not sure if that is realistic or not with such tyres.

That's the end of the AC TAC. Thanks to everyone who took part and congratulations to @Saidur_Ali for winning by an enormous 70 points!

That's it? All done?

Yep, I planned to have 10 rounds. Although I'll be starting another one on Project CARS tomorrow.

 

[Ettick]

Was fun for the two rounds I participated in

I might take up the mantle and run this myself then if you don't mind.

Would love this to carry on. Maybe with a slightly different points system but still going on nevertheless! Kind of gives a reason to try in AC!

Go right ahead.
