Assetto Corsa Round 1 Vallelunga - Wed Nov 3, 2021

That was much more fun than I expected, just need to adjust my driving style and all was way better after that.

 

No problem Karl there was a bit of lag, that caused the tap .

 

Some action shots from Vallelunga

 

Have to apologise for the contact with Kimi (I think) into the last corner. He made a good pass on me but I wasn't expecting it and we banged doors. Then I lost control a bit and wacked his car sending us into a half spins. I ended up facing the wall on the racing line. Whilst trying to reverse off the racing line I collided with the 2 cars behind me. Sorry guys it was really clumsy of me.

Well done to the winners and pods.

I found the car very difficult to drive and was way off the pace I usually expect of myself. But I have found this with road cars. I remember a similar problem I had with the Ultima GTR road car in AMS1. Just couldn't drive it at any kind of speed.

 

I had the black car which was the fastest, so that was a bit cheating

Put in a good lap for qualifying in P1. I got off pretty well on the starting line. Phil was within a second for the first half of the race. I knew as long as I didn't make a mistake (even slight) it would be hard for him to overtake. I saw him pushing in my mirrors but we never got wheel to wheel during the race. About half way I got a 2 seconds (+) margin to Phil, and it never got down from there. Except for a mistake I did putting my rear tires slightly in the grass right before braking and completely missing the corner. But I was able to rebuild the gap quickly. I don't know whether Phil made some small mistakes, or he wasn't pushing as hard, or I was just faster at that point.. we were pretty even on pace for this one. John seemed to be in a league of his own in third, well done mate!

I like the fact that this is a road car for once. I have no idea how the car drives on the upcoming tracks.. we'll see.
