Generic Weekly Hotlap #43 - Moving in the shadow

Welcome to the thread for Weekly Hotlap #43 - Moving with the shadow

The Challenge.
Car: Lotus Evora GTE Carbon
Track: Vallelunga




For this challenge, i had planned the Toyota AE86 Tuned, but then noticed that the Toyota had already been used in another challenge, so i had to make this late hour change . And then, i found the Lotus.After the huge beating of the last weeks challenge, i think that a very submisse, grip lover, smooth breaker and overall a piece of cake car to drive is a more than a welcomed change for you guys (specially for those beaten up steering wheels some people use ) After you start the lap on this car, you dont feel yourself moving because it's so smooth and fast. Not powerfully fast that every bit of the car shakes with the huge amout of power, but fast like slidding through the road. As it should; 420 bhp in a small and relatively light car does tend to create that effect. This boy runned in the American Le Mans series and even on the 24h of Le Mans back in 2011, with interesting results. Oh, and why the carbon version you might ask?Well...simply because it looks so damn cool!





Vallelunga would make on hell of a combo with the AE86, but it does too with the Evora. It's a classical track for GT cars, so it does match perfectly with the Lotus. So, we are back in a "normal" circuit, a track where the laptimes should be around 1.40m...unless the aliens have something different to say
The Rules.
Mode: Hotlap
Time of day: Free
Ambient Temp: 26 Degrees
Setup: Free
Controller: Free
Assists: Factory
Stability: Free

If it isn't mentioned here then assume the setting is free.

Please make sure you have the ambient temperature set correctly, and that you are in hotlap mode, I really don't like disallowing times!

The Deadline.
Sunday August 13th - 22:00 BST (GMT+1)

How to take part!
To enter simply head into the game select Drive > Hotlap and choose the Lotus Evora GTE Carbon and head to Vallelunga. Make sure you setup the session using the settings detailed in this thread and hit the track!

You can run as many laps as you like and update your times as often as you like, its simple All Platforms are welcome, it is all about having fun and enjoying Assetto Corsa.

To submit a time, pause the game and select 'session' from the menu and screenshot this page or take a photo of your screen and post it in this thread - Note all the information from the screen is required including temperature and mode heading.

Feel free to post video clips and share information in here as well, but without the session screen your time will not be included (placing the session screen in a video clip is acceptable).

You also need to state the time and your platform in the body of your post, this should be the first thing you do, the image should then be placed below the text. It would also be helpful to mark updated times with Improvement. This makes collating the results much easier.

A leader board will be collated on a daily basis to keep everyone up to date on where they currently stand...Unfortunately editing of posts gets locked on this forum so this post will not be updated.

Feel free to use the unofficial leader board but remember you still need to include the session screen in this thread to be included in the results.

Good luck and have fun

What a relief after last weeks GT40. Vallelunga with the curves is good for your neck exercises. First go mid 1:49, second run 1:48:8
So when do the aliens set a 1:47? Don't know the limits of this car/track combo yet. Very curious to see it evolve over the week.

ABS on....without ABS it is a nightmare (for me)

 

Now this is more like it

Could not change my previous post. Therefor a new screenshot
1:47 on its way? But not today...maybe tomorrow...duty calls



Edit: these are my default car settings. In setup I changed not much, just fuel 5L, 24/26 F/R PSI

 

Nice time man What are the factory assists on this thing?

 

I think someone is turning Alien!!!!!

My wife agrees

 

first 2x two laps (two flyers, setup change, two flyers) with 360pad (factory ABS/TC (2/3), no stability) couldn't be arsed to take out the wheel (yet?)



setup is just lower fuel (15L), 24/25/26/27 psi (LF/RF/LR/RR) and two clicks down on camber front ... i lost 0.3s in S2 on the fastest lap unfortunately, this could have been a 47 already - i feel like a low to mid 47 is possible (if not for me then for someone else)

Today or tomorrow we will see low 47 or maybe under the 47 with no problem from someone i think , anyway i'm just near my limits, in this curves and with this car i can't easily find the right grip when accelerating

 

I totally agree with you!but most people seem to prefer toys,and i have to try to present something different every week.for me,it would be the Porsche 917k,then the lotus 49,then the Gt40 again,again,the lotus 72d and just to not forget it,the gt40 again .but most people (like me) struggle to driving them,and that takes away the fun from them.because i love vintage racing i have a lot of fun even if i barely keep the car on track,but most guys out there like the modern stuff better.so i need to try to find the balance to keep WHL interesting and diverse not only for a single week,but for a larger period of time
