Assetto Corsa EVO

I like Fuji but its amazing how many people actually hate it.

I'm like that with Suzuka. On paper, it looks great - but I've tried it in various racing games and just cannot like it for some reason.

Amateur drifting at Brands....

A shame that removing the driver from the in-car view, removes him from the replay view too.

 

[Darren S]

I think it might be right to say that the Lotus Emira has the most compliant arse-end in any of the cars so far. Was great to drive that around Brands earlier.

The Golf on the other hand. Show it a corner and the car responds with....

Literally pot luck if you have understeer, control, bit more understeer, not going to bother, bounce of the limiter, tyre squeal...

Liking this more and more.

Had a full field of AI cars and put myself to the back of the grid in an Escort Cosworth. Selected dynamic weather too.

Managed about 3 laps in and then it started to drizzle. Didn't upset the car much, but then the rain got heavier. Definitely noticed that the front end started getting lighter and the rear end was a lot more keen to over-rotate on the downshifts. Tip-toed around, even though I thought the 4WD system would help and noticed that clear runs were appearing on the circuit.

In all, just a lot of fun. Really am looking forward to how the rollout of this game progresses. Like other AC titles in the past, I'll have no issues in buying DLC packs for it.

Some people live for sims like these though. Literally shaving 100ths of a second off each lap.

For every circuit though, there's always part of the perfect line that doesn't 'feel' right. I tend to drive where I think is correct, but on some corners, I'm way out from the ideal line. Clearly I'd be losing a load of time there.

I found out that the corkscrew is more of a wiggle in the road than a corkscrew the amount of kerb you are allowed to take. I also have no idea on the best line to take on the first corner and turn after the corkscrew.

I'd actually say that that is more tricky than the Corkscrew itself. Depending on what car you're in - the arse-end want to go wide and its very easy to unsettle it.
