The Assetto Corsa Weekly Challenge

[ChemicalChaos]

Oooh, this is hotting up now! Neck and neck between me and Papajohns! I reckon there's still a fair bit of time for me to shave off - the trick is finding the right line on a lot of the compound corners. I picked the track to be just such a challenge, though once again FWD appears to have school us all!

Lap video - https://youtu.be/jG2mDTuqzXs
Had to do a half size video as Fraps was glitching at the end of each lap, I would like to use Shadowplay but it still plays back at double speed and no sound.

[PapaJohns]

finding a bit more time here n there, chasing my time in the huracan with the huracan getting so close and then making mistakes costing me time, changed into the mclaren and boom .so there's definetly more time to be found in the Lamborghini

Just the 3 of us this week?

[FourWheelDrift]

The last challenge is still running till the 4th so no one else has checked in yet.

As per the suggestion on the previous page, I did agree that it should have closed last Sunday and then announced it as such, bringing forward the closing of this one to this Sunday

Very little chance to have a crack so far on this one, my best so far:

[griffchris]

Making a bit of progress, still very ragged though

Looks like it still all to play for in the final few hours! Will FWD make it 2 on the trot, or will griffchris relieve himself on his bonfire?

As for me, unfortunately I've had a busy week and been away all weekend at an actual trackday, which has severely limited my chances to set a more competitive time!
Just had another quick go tonight but have evidently slipped out of the groove as I can't even match my previous times!

Thanks CC.

Looking at the next challenge, great car choice, but on PC at least the Red Bull ring requires the "Red Pack DLC", so isn't available with just the "standard" game. I'm quite happy to buy the pack as the cars look quite tasty, but how do others feel?

[ChemicalChaos]

My apologies, I didn't realise the track was DLC!

Give me 30 mins and I'll find another one

[ChemicalChaos]

OK, track changed to Zandvoort, and me unable to get a spin-free lap after this many red wines!


How do people feel in future about using DLC cars and tracks? The season pass, which unlocks all DLC so far, only costs £11.99

I'll get you started with what will be a pretty mediocre time as it was set with a single warmup and then the lap above. Maybe the stock ratios aren't quite right, seems a lot of the hair pins 1st is too high and 2nd bogs down a lot.

I have all the DLC so it's no skin off my back to do DLC content but it runs the risk of excluding console players as there's usually a delay beteen the PC and console DLC releases.
