Assetto Corsa Round 1 Zandvoort 1973 - Mon Mar 1, 2021

different track but a nice appetiser for the car

 

are we using the free version of this or the paid full spec track?

 

There is as I’ve raced on it it just doesn’t have all the eye candy, but no problem, happy to get the dlc as the guy did a great job on it

 

As Mark said, there should be one as we raced on it at Srouk recently but it was the slightly faster mid 60's version. @Mark Johnson I don't think this '73 very layout is free.

 

How the hell do you guys manage to get some 1'27 ??!

 

A good question - I've just 'upgraded' to load cell pedals and seem to have lost all my speed.
I'm currently able to do a 1:30, going to try some different spring and pre-load combos before tomorrow to try and avoid total embarrassment

 

Oh my God!
You can make a lot of people happy, Tim .
I believe the brake pedal is the single most important control in your simracing rig. Adapting to a new pedal, whether more realistic or not, is a challenge. If you are not able to produce the right braking curve, speed goes down the drain fast...
Hope you get that sorted out Tim... Well just 70% sorted would be best. Good luck!

This was quite predictable, coming from some G25 pedals, it's going to change your pedals usage in a much more realistic way, but you'll get used to it soon and recover your speed. As Jos said, don't rush yourself in that regard.

 

It's alright - I found the problem.
I need shoes on to drive properly as the pedal force is so high

(I also had a rubbish setup)

 

I'm not sure I entirely agree.
I find the G25 pedals are great at replicating road cars which are softer and have loads of travel, as such they felt realistic given they felt like the cars I currently drive on road and track.
The Thrustmaster pedals on the other hand are excellent at simulating the feel from older non-power assisted cars and single seaters etc.
My 1st go in the Lola into Tarzan resulted in such a big crash I had to turn on the pedals app to check I even had brakes!
Minus the crash, that is also pretty much how I would describe the 1st time I drove my Westfield ('60s Formula Ford pedal box and brake setup), It was terrifying until I adjusted to how much force was needed to slow the car.

 

only 15 runners tonight? Thought this great car would be more popular too hairy chested for some drivers?

 

Im out. 3 xtra kids having sleepover.

 

Gotta eat hairs from my chest, 0€ in bank atm and track costs 5€. I know it's not much but in this case is too much for one race... c u in next race.

 

Important note on the track guys : Don't trust the pitlane wall while you're on the track side, because there is a damn unvisible wall right beyond the white line, and clearly before the actual pitlane wall. Remember that, especially for the race start.

 

I'll do some intentional crashing when I join the server I think.
Does this mean I'm not the only one with a control tower in the middle of the lane then?
