I tried a Rift S and although it was cool being able to look around inside the car, I had to run very low graphics (AMD5800, RX6800, 32GB RAM, M2 Drive)

something daft already!! said:
I play this most evenings on the Quest 2. Although Automobilista 2 looks a lot better, this plays much better. I prefer bonnet cam but it makes it hard to see those behind.

Yeah i have Automobilista 2 and it does look great but for some reason it's performance was a little off compared to the last time i played it in VR.

That's interesting. I tried the 2nd gen rift and it looked pants. Sounds like things are coming along.

Yeah it used too look pants on the rift and even the original Quest but i bought a Quest 2 yesterday and i was shocked at the uplift in picture quality.

I'm now helping out with the ACC club at Racedepartment.

I'm batting a few ideas around but happy to take any suggestions. My initial thoughts are below.

2 nights a week - 30min sprint race. Start time of 8pm BST. 15min practice, 15min qual.

Then when simracing.gp introduce the teams options we could host a 1 hour race on a sat or sun evening with teams entered and having driver swaps.

Sounds good to me, shorter sprint races definately suit me better. I like the idea of the hour long races on the weekend (which i can hopefully take part).

Dont know if there are any streamers who are part of RD and play ACC. Could do with RD having a bit of promotion in some way, so many people now on simracing.gp Need to get RD up the ACC ladder.

Definitely up for some sprint races. 15/15/30 sounds good.

swannyUK · 9 May 2021 at 20:56

Chaps, sprint races are back. Any questions feel free to PM me on RD

Top man Swanny. I gotta check my work schedule when i get in tomorrow but should be good to join.

swannyUK · 9 May 2021 at 21:10

Cheers, hoping we get the ball rolling now. I think due to privacy issues the live stream would be tricky but I've asked if the media bods can put up a mention on twitter, FB etc.

Grumps82 · 9 May 2021 at 21:17

Yeah thats a good idea, would be good to get 10+ people on board. I know 2 others that play ACC so i'll tell them about it.

swannyUK · 9 May 2021 at 21:29

Ace. I'll be there with my mate and Ricardo should be in.

Cheers. Will do it tonight and then need to get practicing. First time racing non public servers so would be pleased to get round in one peice!

swannyUK · 11 May 2021 at 14:32

Haha, great stuff. You'll never want to go back to public afterwards!

Grumps82 · 11 May 2021 at 16:15

Yeah 100% this.

Race Department races on ACC have set the standard for me.

Public lobbies are generally terrible and the simgrid daily races are not much better.

How did you get on with the sign up?

Hey. Signed up for premium and sent you a PM on RD with my email. Only just got back into ACC recently and not raced at Silverstone for a few months so will need to try and get a few practice laps tonight after work! What's the standard like in RD? Don't want to be holding too many people up! :cry:

Silverstone I think was managing around 2:00 flat. :rolleyes:

Got it thanks,sent you an invite hopefully. We usually have all skill levels taking part so everyone tends to have someone to race which is good.

2:00 flat is a good time, I think my race pace was a mid 59 last time round here...we might end up having a good battle

If you do practice set the track to optimum and ambient around 22 as this will be similar(ish) to race day. If you can do 10 laps and the tyre psi all round stays between 27.5-28 you've got it.
