Assetto Corsa - Time Trial

[RobM77]

It was indeed my controller playing up again. Problem now solved, and the car drives fine. Fingers crossed everything's ok now!

Are we using standard tune?

I'm running round at a 1:27

I am the Max Chilton of PistonHeads!

Interesting car - really needs to be balanced through every stage of the corner.

I've done a fair few laps now, some completed and it's actually quite fun. The quickness does come from being very clean but you can have some heroic drifting. The tyres have a very small window of being perfect and it really hates too much sliding about.

That double apex corner towards the end is a bh!

[RobM77]

Well done James - I've clearly got some time to find It is an interesting car, yes. I love all the other Lotuses in AC, but am rather undecided on this one. My only drive in real life was 30 minutes in the coupé and that was utterly fantastic, but I was on public roads so can't comment too much on the handling, although it was definitely stiffer than the Roadster in the game. I find the most frustrating point the corner before the main straight - it's really hard to get a good exit and you can lose half a second or more if you're not super careful, plus a surprising amount of time between that corner and the one before it. It's a very technical track.

Update - Need to have more time, less wine!

Too much wine already for me, and there's a Duvel in the fridge I've got my eye on!! Tomorrow I think :-)

I'll have a crack tomorrow.

[Altrezia]

I am hating this - I follow my ghost around making stupid mistakes, or lead it around and slide off. Tricky little track. Seems very stop-start.

Went a little quicker, but I know there's more time to get. Oddly, my wheel just went all weird and FFB died before I could find that last bit to break into the 21's.. Will investigate tomorrow.

If you can get ahead of me by the same margin in the Elise at this track you'll be very close to 1st!

[Altrezia]

heh, thanks chaps. Naff all people have done this combo so it's a bit hollow!

Finally got out of the 27's - took ages.
My new G27 arrives tomorrow - Can't wait!!

The Elise at Magione though was the only pairing available for months when AC first broke cover. Lots of people have this track as the one they know the most.

4 thousanths behind in sector 2, so I'm losing virtually all my time in the first sector, quite probably in one corner or sequence of corners...

I amrubbish in the last sector. 99% of my laps have a cockup - huge oversteer or chronic understeer.

Good time tho - nice one.

Cheers. Not sure I'll equal your time though!

Are you local by the way? I live about 5 minutes from J5 M3.

I bet you will. I am not consistent at all. Shame the MP is not ready yet so you could see!

I am in rg26 - near Basingstoke
