The Assetto Corsa Weekly Challenge

[Rawwr]

The rules:

1. Each event will be announced on Sunday at 8pm and will run until the following Sunday until 6pm.
2. Each event will consist of a game mode (either hotlap or drift), a specific car and variant (so if an event says you have to use an 'F40' that means the 'F40' and not the 'F40 S3') and a circuit.
3. You're free to change all setup options except fuel load (which must always be 30 litres), unless the event specifies further restrictions on other setup options such as tyres, drivetrain, limiters or geo.
4. You're free to use adjustable turbos in any car where the option is available.
5. You're free to use adjustable brake bias in any car where the option is available.
6. Events will be chosen which are available to PC, PS4 and XB1 versions of the game.
7. All assists will either need to be 'Off' or 'Factory'
8. Proof of your time/score will need to be posted on this thread to be valid by either screenshot (F12 for Steam users) or even a horrible photo.
9. Championship points will be awarded each week for the top 10 positions:

• 1st: 20 points
• 2nd: 15 points
• 3rd: 11 points
• 4th: 8 points
• 5th: 6 points
• 6th: 5 points
• 7th: 4 points
• 8th: 3 points
• 9th: 2 points
• 10th: 1 points

Any suggestions for rules/restrictions I've missed, please shout. I'm sure they'll need a bit of refining.

Stay tuned for the first event on Sunday 4th

Open to ideas. What would you do about fuel? I only put it in to stop people setting it to 1 litre and going nuts.

[Rawwr]

I think for the most part we'll have to run on the honour system. I also suspect there's going to be an enormous spectrum of talent when it comes to these challenges and even if people were to bend the rules they wouldn't get close to the average

[Rawwr]

Most cars have ABS so if it's on the factory option, that's fine. Letting people run with a full, artificial TC/EPS system seems a little unfair, though.

[Rawwr]

Let's see how the first event goes with the existing rules and if there's any clear disparity between the times of consoles vs PC then we can look at tweaking. How's that?

[Rawwr]

Have you tried driving without aids? It's really not bad at all. It forces you to be neat and tidy as you would in real life.

[Rawwr]

The first challenge will use a car with ABS

Week #1

Type: Lap Time
Car: Ferrari 458 Italia
Track: Silverstone National

Starting off with an easy one to see how things go. Use the standard Ferrari 458 Italia around Silverstone National and post your best time with a screenshot. Go!

I think I've gone full retard. Just did a run of 12 laps, no assists and couldn't top 1:02.700!

Will have to try during the week when I'm more awake.

[Rawwr]

Oi! I use a PC, not a PS4! I'm not a dirty console scummer!

[Rawwr]

I was having a bad day! And I don't use any assists!

It'll change

[Rawwr]

1:01.926 and then I rage quit.

[Rawwr]

I'm hoping to redeem myself in the drifting competitions

[Rawwr]

Also, just a quick reminder that unverified times won't be counted. As they say on the interwebs; 'pics or it didn't happen'.

Yeah, I think I just have to admit I'm not a very good driver when it comes to setting times. I get this irresistible urge to get the car all horribly out of shape and do endless hero saves. I think this is mostly because I imagine myself waving out of the window at all my adoring fans.

I confess, there's a degree of smugness I derive from beating you.

I look forward to the drifting competition.
