CRAP Club Assetto Corsa Time Trials!! - New TTs, Sometime In The Future!!

[HammyMansell]

A time from @SpaceBreed

7:01.193! Nice one!

 

[Outspacer]

Hmm. Softs or mediums? Mediums or softs? Ha! What a dilemma! Softs get pretty hot at the rear, but do cool down nicely on the straights. Mediums stay cool on the fronts until stressed, but are easier to handle. After a session of more than 250km (achievement unlocked!) my best time is on mediums, but not by much (and it was later in the session so improving anyway). Think I'll have another try on softs before posting a time

 

[Dopplegagger]

I went straight to the Soft tires, but I still seem to be spinning out from time to time. I'll give the medium tires a try after work. Maybe they will provide more stability. If not, then I put the softer tires back on.

 

[HammyMansell]

Yes fellas regarding the tyres, I put the ambient temp up to 27C to keep the rubber warmish on those long straights, and yes the softs always overheat at Nords.....I'd imagine the medium would be best, as they have been on other cars there in the past.

 

[Outspacer]

Yeah, I think I'm sticking with the mediums. The softs didn't allow me to get much ahead of my ghost even before they overheated, and can turn to mush in an instant. A really smooth driver might make them work; I can't!

6:47.364

 

[HammyMansell]

I've just had my hour or so.

6:39.923!!

And yes @Outspacer, the mediums are by far the best overall tyre. The softs just overheat for me, and make the car bounce around more like a lowrider lol.....Great fun! I hope to try again, just for larks!

 

[knukken]

Tried getting a clean lap but gave up after 20 minutes of spinning did a 7:19 lap with a big spin last corner before the straight, so a 6:45 lap is definitely possible if I got time for one more lap, and much more time to find if I find more time to try, but not sure if I can.

Go get 'em knukks!!

 

[nosoks]

nice one, i need to get in this hunt

 

[Georgeagea]

so a 6:45 lap is definitely possible

well don't be so sure
Cracking the 6:50 is already a very hard task!

 

[knukken]

Guess it was @Georgeagea got a 6:53 on mediums

 

[Dopplegagger]

This isn't going to be my last. I just entering a time incase I get a little too busy.

7:12.772

This was on medium tires. Way more predictable than the softs. Also this lap wasn't haunted. No ghosts to chase, so I am kind of proud of this out lap. I planted the Ferrari into a wall on the second lap, but I was up by 6 seconds before I got crossed up.

 

[nosoks]

I intend to put some time into it this morning. Hopefully the GTS community will give me some peace

Did I see you can now be The Bandit in GTS with the Trans Am? Summmmmm bich!! Haha

 

[nosoks]

who cares haha The F50 however.......

and despite a constant barrage of interruptions i managed a 6:53.331

 

[Georgeagea]

i managed a 6:53.331

and a cracked windshield!

 

[nosoks]

and a cracked windshield!

yes that particular distraction was a worker asking if i had a 12mm concrete drill bit......... don't ask hahaha

 

[Outspacer]

I seem to have got stuck at about this pace - did two laps of 6:47.2xx after this one! Anything more exuberant ends up in the wall I was hoping to crack under 6:45 but I guess it's not to be. Top time on RSR is 6:30.xxx, but that was soft tires in cool air, and probably with a tune. Same for most of the times under 6:40 in fact.

6:46.483

 

[HammyMansell]

Here are the results of the TT in the Ferrari GT3 at Nordschleife!!

@HammyMansell 6:39.923

@Outspacer 6:46.483

@Georgeagea 6:50.622

@nosoks 6:53.331

@knukken 6:53.632

@SpaceBreed 7:01.193

@Dopplegagger 7:12.772

Very well done to you for having a go, and look how close it was between the two CRAP vets soks and knukks!!! The next Assetto TT commences next Saturday, the 15th of December, see you then!

 

[Dopplegagger]

I'm starting to notice a trend here...

For the next TT, what ever we run, Hammy has to run it on foot. Let someone else take one of the top three spots for a change.

[nosoks]

not quite as much fun as the Escort but fun enough, theres plenty left out there. I'm just happy in a car with a "real" gearbox in a game where the clutch workas as it should

 

[Mirror_man]

Is it just me... my Wheel setup... or this car is almost impossible to drive (just almost...) at higher speeds... specially in some points of the track like... curves... and when the revs achieve an higher "tone" from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd??

On the PC version it seems even more difficult...

I would like to know if on PS4 version, when you setup your wheel ... the only wheel listed is the G29?? I´ve tried even deleting my previous setup files... (like resetting the game), and creating a new Wheel setup configuration, but if I don´t check the checkbox for G29, the wheel will not be used by the game..

My wheel is a Fanatec CSL Elite PS4... and strange as it is, if I turn it to Compatibility (purple) mode, (emulating a G29 wheel), it will not be used by the game... (that if I start the game with Blue Configuration 1st..... as I will try later starting the game with it on purple mode already... )
I also have a T500RS that I don´t use for months... will it be any different?? On the PC version, no problem at all... as there you may configure practically any wheel!! (I even tried just for kicks... a really ancient Microsoft SideWinder Precision Racing Wheel... and managed to put it working there!!!)

I'm on a Thrustmaster T150, and the car is tricky, sure, but you have to drive it very smoothly, and methodical, not chucking her into the corners...Apply the gas, the brakes, and steering imput as if you was caressing a pussy cat!

I had a go earlier, nice slidey fun!

1:46.912, as mentioned above, you have to be so smooth, the old Silverstone is low grip too, even on "optimum" track condition.

Gracious ould girl!

Thanks, Hammy!

I´ll try to... sometimes it feels like butter is spread on Tarmac.. (some of the curves) ... or then the brakes simply don´t brake.. or else... they brake too much... feels strange indeed... and i even made it spin in acceleration from 1st to 2nd gear... in a straight!!! That is weird...

 

[Mirror_man]

I´m not a regular AC player and so... How do I display my best Hotlap time for a given track with a given car in any circumstance???
For example. i´ve been doing the "Hotlap" thing.. and then finished it.. and closed the game... then.. I got back to it again latter. it will show a Ghost car for the next time i try to "Hot Lap" with same combo (car and track) . .wont it?? if I try it again!... But how do i know which is the "Ghost car" previous time?? And how do i display it to prove I did it??

 

[nosoks]

at the end of the session click on "session", thus will display your fastest time for this session only. You can then screenshot it and post that here. If you've already done a faster lap and not saved a screenshot I'm afraid it is lost to the Matrix

Thanks Nosoks! This means that leaving the Session will not let the Best lap recorded on Racing history, like it happens .. in GTS?? where you may even record any lap you want or like...

As yesterday night i spent some time trying to master that defiant beast... and after some time I managed finally to do some full laps under 2 minutes... (dont laught please) ... and a Ghost car started appearing... and so I went... following it and sometimes even passing it.. lol... but then I needed to close AC... as i did.. but after getting back again... I found no record of that previous feat!!

Here's a time from @SpaceBreed

1:51.398, nice!

Keep going @Mirror_man keep it nice and steady, and you'll get faster and faster.
