Assetto Corsa OcUK TT Challenge! *Season 3*

I've been desperate for some Super GT action since Gran Turismo 5! I had the stealth models and everything.
Tried a bunch of iffy mods in AC, but this one flew under my radar.
ED: Just looked, and it turns out I bought a URD Nissan GT500 ages ago and forgot about it :D

Hope this lot's decent around here, as I've been lazy again and not actually tested them :o They should be good though.

I shouldn't be this honest

Yeah, I don't really do much more than that too.
I might soften the rear springs and maybe have a play with the diff if the rear likes stepping out, plus a couple of clicks on the front camber to get a bit more turn in, but I don't really know what the hell I'm doing.
I just drive the car, see what I think it lacks. Is it understeery/oversteery? Is the gearing obviously not suited to the track, or being a spinning sod when shifting to 2nd or something?
I then read the descriptions and see if anything good happens with the basic stuff mentioned above. All the advanced stuff like most of the suspension settings are beyond me.

The 643 time was done with just aero changes for example (17/22). It could have probably been lowered plenty more.
Conversely, I raised the rear wing on the 3-Eleven, as I found that Oulton favoured corner entry/exit and holding speed through fast bends more than it did straight line speed in that car.

Thank @PinkFloyd , it was his idea :)
I can't even remember the last time I drove it... Or any of them tbh.

@Josh_Martin
Is your AC name 'paddyqwerty1'?

ED: No it's not! @Paddyqwerty1, good to have you with us. I see you haven't posted since 2014, but don't be shy, mate :)
Then again, he hasn't been on the forum since May... Not signed in anyway.

That's some pro lurking by Paddy then.
Click to expand...

For real! :D He has a trust account and I've sent him a message, so hopefully he'll pop in.
It would be mean to delete his times, but I do have a no lurker policy...

On another note regarding the GT500: I haven't done any laps yet, but I was doing some live driver coaching with a friend yesterday (it's a thing we do, and he's making progress), and that car seems to have waaay too much grip for what it is. It corners like a max downforce F1 from what I saw.
It's my own fault for not doing my usual testing, but something seems off with it. It won't happen again. Perhaps I shouldn't blindly trust 5* ratings on RD.
 
Well, Mr Floyd... Your car choices have indeed challenged me. I'm a complete fish out of water with those things.

And that GT500 is ridiculous. It Corners like a train designed by Adrian Newey.
Never trust RD reviewers...

There's also something dodgy with the timing on that track. Delta doesn't work and it's not giving graph info on the tracker.
Again, my fault for not properly testing. Normal service will be resumed next week.

Was gonna do an '04/'05 F1 next week, but why not? The 919's awesome and we haven't done it yet for some reason.
As for the low grip, low downforce, crappy brake road car stuff... I keep bleating on about this being a good way to expand skillsets, so I really should practice what I preach and put more time in :o

Glad you're getting on better with VR :)
 
As Paddy says, it should be the same procedure as installing the cars. You just overwrite the existing files.
Honestly, I'd delete them as soon as you're done driving it. The car is dumb anyway, plus they take up 1.5GB...
 
Yeah, 919 and an F1 would've been very cool here... We did do the 643 on here last time though (I know it was ages ago) and that was quality.

I think the road cars would've been better suited to the East or West layouts.
 
It's just how it goes sometimes :)

As for me, I was planning to have another crack at it, but my Rift cable is buggered... Got a slight kink at the part where it clamps to to the headband and it'll artifact or blackscreen with a bit of movement.
Ordered a replacement at a bargain £50 :eek: :(
 
Congrats to @Paddyqwerty1 and @PinkFloyd for taking the honours this week and thanks to everyone else that participated :)
I'm changing the server a few hours early, as I may not be around to do it at the regular time.

New challenge up!

Red Bull Ring GP

Porsche 919 2016 (Porsche pack 3 DLC)
Williams FW26 2004 (Early Season) >Download<
Pagani Huarya BC
Lotus 3-Eleven (Ready to Race DLC)

Thought I'd give the Lotus another run, as it's a fun little thing.

If anyone doesn't have the Porsche DLC, go grab it on sale right now. £8.61 is a bargain for three whole packs of awesomeness!
 
Ordered a cable on the weekend and got a shipping notification today, so I guess anytime in the next few days. Maybe tomorrow if I'm lucky.

Probably best to drive the Huarya first in that case :D

I'm not sure who 'Player' is, but I'm assuming you're using Content Manager.
Change your user name like so:

Blimey, you and Paddy are quick in that Lotus!

The Huarya just got on my nerves. I'm sure I could take a few tenths off, but I don't have the patience. I think it's mostly the braking, although I think it might be a bit nicer to drive than the other hypercars.
Loving the hell out of the Williams and the 919 is good fun.

Bit quiet this week...
 
I feel your pain @PinkFloyd . I can't wait to get a dedicated rig in it's own space, as I'm also having to set things up beforehand at the moment...

Anyway, congrats to @Born2BSlow and @Paddyqwerty1 for their work in the Lotus and Huarya this week. Too quick for me!

@RevBillyG Good to have you back, mate. Don't be a stranger :)
