The Assetto Corsa Weekly Challenge

[ChemicalChaos]

Yes, I can

[toastyhamster]

I can't

[RobM77]

Ah! One of the few road cars I enjoy driving on AC (I recently owned one for three years), but sadly I'm on holiday this week so can't take part. I'll have a go next week!

Half a dozen more laps tonight and managed to chip off some of the errors I was making onto the straights. A little more to come possibly

Massive Gains lol.

Heh, I managed two consecutive laps of Mugello on exactly the same time, to the thousandth today. Ferrari 458 (?) Stage 3 is a handful, had to reduce the opponents skill (career mode).

It really is a different game with a wheel, good time ricepilot, not sure I can face any more Brands GP lappage this week, see how I feel on Friday.

Forgot to take a screenshot but it's logged on RSR Live timing website here - http://www.radiators-champ.com/RSRLiveTiming/index...



Looking at the splits, as with many of the circuits as they are updated they have moved where they take them.

Next!

[ChemicalChaos]

A few hours left to run on the Yellowbird challenge, if anyone has taken their brave pills.....

Anyway, here's the next one

Introducing......

Pistonheads Assetto Corsa Challenge 17: The Hereditary Rollerskate Challenge

Abarth 500 EsseEsse and Abarth 595 SS Step 2
at
Magione

Featuring:
Factory driver aid settings, Semislicks (only for new 500)

A battle of new vs old, see who can peddle the pint-sized pocket rockets around the equally pint-sized track in the best time!
Do you fancy a frantic session of Italian-style redlining and left foot braking to get the best out of the peaky, FWD new Abarth? Or would you rather a more leisurely afternoon of 4-wheel drifting the original Abarth, keeping a watchful eye on that rear-end weight bias?
Why not try both?

Feisty.

Pro settings only thing I changed was turn off factory traction control, although I didn't think it would have any anyway?

In the video he's doing a full lap but we're only doing bridge to gantry.

Is this just the Nordsschleife track length 20832m?

It's the Nordschleife Tourist version, where you start and end in the carpark - 19100m

I spent a lot of time practicing this to determine how lenient I should be with the challenge rules, but I still struggle to get a fully clean lap. The trouble I find is that you clip some grass on a fast twisty section, then arrive at the next very fast corner with no grip on whichever wheel(s) went over the grass!
