Assetto Corsa Round 3 Nordschleife

Is there enough overtime in the qual to make even one fast lap? Lap time is about 9 minutes.

 

I know I said these handle better as the tires wear out - but I think this one may test that claim to the limit!
I've got pretty heavy opposite lock on every downhill corner and a couple of the uphill ones - On the plus side I look like this: at all times while on track!

 

yeah...
i have this in sector 1.
this in sector 2
this in sector 3
and this after race..

 

Would love to enter this Nurb round in the RS Porsche but my experience with AC is frightfully lacking. I've been scuppered by this 'booking' thingie more than once. I'll try to log onto the server for a trial run after registration.
Oh, no! Not Tim Muttram! Hehehe... He and I are well known to one another through the UKGPL.
Edit: Some minutes later... Successfully logged on to the SRO server featuring the RS Porsches at the Nurb. Hoping that I'll be as lucky when I try tomorrow come race time.

 

Hi Doni, welcome aboard.
SRO don't use a booking system so you should be fine here.
Just be aware that the race password tends to be posted quite late (an hour maybe) before the race in my experience.

While I'm here, I've noticed the race details are wrong - the lap distance is showing the full Gt/enduro lap. We're only doing the 20.8km Nordschlief.
I don't know if the SRO calculates average speed from it, but we could end up with some impressive numbers if it does!

 

Hi there, Tim! Thanks for the note, mate. Will be watching for the pword posting. Good Luck to you today. I'm just in to cruise and have some fun in what is one of my all-time favourite race cars.

 

Unfortunately I lost the connection to the server.

 

sorry to hear Fabrizio

 

Race Report/ Deport.

well.......

practice days went well, had great rhythm and ok pace, good fuel economy and didnt brake the car..
happy days.

Quali time.
Guys go out and have some great times, i was having great supper.
supper and Quali time over....

its RACE TIME>>>>>>>>

So race was all about failing/ ailing hardware..
no.. not the Porsche 718 Spyder..
but my G25 H shifter...

Race starts,
good pull off and not far behind Ken Jagger.
when my gearbox decides its loving the neutral position.
randomly while in gear and driving, it would jump into neutral and the engine would redline.
this happening repeatedly and more and more often resulting in me blowing my engine 2 or 3 times.
eventually me riding the last of the race one handed as my other hand holds the H-Shifter precisely in position.
its a long race then.

So i finished the race in 9th out of 10,
but what a mission.

Guess ill be doing the rest of the series in paddle shifter mode.

till next time.

I didn't expect I could win because I only practiced a couple laps. But I managed to get a good time in qual and Tim didn't get time, so it was a pretty easy win. The race went driving without any risks and chatting with Veli-Matti and Janne at teamspeak. I would have liked a bit more pressure. But Nordscleife is always fun to drive.

Good result for HooDee Racing. 4 HDR drivers in the top 6.
See you next time

 

Grats to our podium! Great job with terrific speed.
I took it easy and still rang the little car off the rails more than I'd like to admit. This was my first AC online go in years and I was more like seized-up than just rusty.
Looking forward to making the rest of the events on the tour.

 

Totally forget that it was race day...

 

My qualifying was scuppered as I thought it would be 20 mins so didn't get a time.
Starting from 8th (Or 9th, I forget) certainly made the first lap interesting - I knew Henri would be very hard to catch (assuming I could gain on him at all anyway) and that every second he could pull away while I was caught in traffic would be incredibly hard to make back.
I think I managed a clean run up through the grid despite driving very hard. The only touch being possibly a light side nudge early on, when the car to my outside hit the outer kerb and stopped sliding so much which caused us to touch.
Once up to 3rd and clear I concentrated on driving at a qualifying pace in the hope the guys ahead would take it fairly safe and easy - As luck would have it Veli-matti was yet another very fast Finn - so while I did very slowly gain on both him and Henri, I couldn't get close enough over the 50 minutes remaining to even try for a pass

That said, the immersion from ringing every last bit of speed from the Porsche around the Nords in VR was mind blowing - right up there with the 1st league race I ever ran in a friends borrowed Rift (Also in a Porsche, although a 962 in this case and 45 minutes of fighting with Fabri - I even tried opening the car door to get out after the race..... )

Well done to Henri for the win (Sorry I couldn't make you work harder) and to Veli-matti for holding me off for 2nd.

Also good job to all the finishers - It's a shame the server ended the race before you could all cross the line, I guess the default wait time doesn't cut it here.

 

I think it was 20 minutes, but no more, because I was running 2 laps (about 18 min in total) and waiting a little more in the pit.
But it should have been longer for everyone to reach the finish line.

 

No it was 10.
20 Mins is enough for an out lap and 2 flying laps (The server won't stop the session until the last current lap completes - even the out lap should be no more than 9 mins and a couple of seconds as the pits are so short)
