The Assetto Corsa Weekly Challenge
Discussion
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:
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.
I agree, but the problem is that people with the time will just cruise around until the fuel light comes on and then gun it, whereas those of us with less time will be setting our laps with 30 litres onboard. There's also no way to police it. Pity. Mind you, can you switch fuel usage off? That would work, but then you'd have to prove it...I think if setup is free then you need to let people use assists if they need them (pad users). I don't have any brake feel so I tend to run ABS all the time...I don't have a clue about setups so other than adjusting tyre pressures I will be running default. The more restrictive the rules the less people will join in.

I'm not sure I see the link between restricting/allowing setup changes and restricting/allowing driver aids?
With regard to driver aids, in my view any motorsport is a competition based on driver skill, so computers helping the driver are rather pointless. As such, I've never switched any driver aids on in AC and I never intend to - if they would be of benefit to me and make me faster, then I'd rather be slower and have me doing everything. I don't even use a paddle shift or auto clutch unless a car in real life does.

I'd suggest using RSR live timing which polices track limits. Pro settings includes factory assists and fuel use, iirc?
RSR provides the fairest level playing field. It also fixes the air temperature too.I'd request we have default setup ONLY. It worked well for the Project Cars time trial challenge. Also, please only use the standard cars as consoles obviously don't get the mods.

Adjusting the setup to suit your driving style is similar to driving with assist that suit your driving style (or make it easier for you), pad users in particular would benefit from TC/SC. If it's just for fun as I don't see any mention of prizes, then surely the more the merrier? I appreciate you don't need aids, but some people do. wouldn't it be better to have more people involved than restrict it to hardcore players only?With regard to driver aids, in my view any motorsport is a competition based on driver skill, so computers helping the driver are rather pointless.

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.
Yes and i consistently lock up as I don't know what's happening with the brakes as there is no feedback through my brake pedal...I'm just saying there will be pad users who might need them to even get around the lap, if the consensus is that aids are off I'll still have a go. I was just trying to advocate for people who might struggle without them in the interests of getting more people involved.
