Assetto Corsa

Is it just me that has no interest in driving single seaters, particularly modern ones with lots of downforce and slicks! I'm looking forward to see how massively fast the old lotus is with qualifying engine settings (1200bhp) but I much prefer the involved handling from low downforce cars.

When the F1 car was launched on iRacing lots of folk expected it to be the flagship road vehicle. It was a flop after the usual initial excitement, and I wasn't in the least bit surprised.

To me fast, high downforce cars aren't suited to PC sims. You have to have the reactions of a hyperactive 13 year old high on Haribo and cola to catch the darned things if you push them hard, because they hang onto the road really well right up to the point where they don't. And by the time normal human beings recognise they've gone too far, they're already on the way to the virtual hospital.

Slower cars, with less downforce and a fuzzier edge to the grip envelope are where the fun is to be found, and where our wheels & limited FFB stand a chance of giving us a chance to recover from mistakes.

However my favourite iRacing car is still the Skip Barber, and something in that class in AC should be rather fun. It'll also be interesting to see their Lotus 79 type vehicle.

I very much share that opinion, but just tried the Lotus F1 spec and its nothing like that - it IS recoverable, the way it skids under aggressive acceleration (when downforce is low in slow corners) and under braking gives quite a sexy feeling :)

Allegedly Iracing in general has a different physics approach to AC, even drifting in Iracing is tough. Many say too tough.

Lotus Exos S1 is really unofficial Lotus F1 spec! :)
 
Sounds a decent update! Doubt I'll get a chance to play at all until Sunday but I can see me racking up a load of laps of the Nurburgring GP track! :)
Will give this new Lotus a shot too just to see if I can be convinced to give high downforce cars another look!

Think so far I find the KTM the most enjoyable to drive but only because it's a little more forgiving than the F40!
 
??
Exige, Elise, different M3s, M1, Z4, Abarth. And how is r34 not a supercar? :)

I'd love some jap cars myself though - rx7, nsx, skylines, etc... Mod Mazda Mx5 is near copmletion, (see previous page of the thread).
 
Anyone use a t500rs with this game? My mode button behavior has changed. Previously when the light was green the f1 pedal configuration worked, however now it only works when it's red.

I've done a driver reinstall and the firmware is up to date, could windows 8.1 be the problem as I recently just upgraded from a fresh reinstall of windows 8.
