Generic Weekly Hotlap #74 - Screaming Memories

Welcome to the thread for the Weekly Hotlap #74 : Screaming Memories

The Challenge.
Car:Ferrari F2004
Track: Nurburgring GP



This one brings great memories to us all,i belive. I was a young child at the time Schumacher ruled the F1 world,and i clearly remember playing with my F1 car toys while watching the real thing on TV during the early 2000's. The screams from those V10 engines were so distint that i would go around the house trying to replicate them (i was quite good at it,actually!) while playing with my little toys.By 2004,an eleven year old me was a big fan of Schumi and everything related to Ferrari,so this challenge serves as a tribute to one of the all time greatest,and to an unforgetable era.The new F1 season started last week;there is no comparation between the sounds and the visuals of those electrical halo toys to the wonderfull machines from pre-2009 season,at least in my opinion.
The F2004 is one of best cars in Assetto Corsa,so greatly recreated that it throws us back fourteen years on time in just one lap. The 2004 cars were the fastest F1's ever until last season,when they were finally beaten.But keep in mind that back then,the regulations didn't allow slick rubber,neither huge rear tyres.No DRS or KERS aswell. It's a very addictive car to drive. It's just impossible to do only one or two laps,it really is.The sound alone makes you want to drive it endlessly just to keep hearing those sweet notes of pure musical ecstasy.Accelerate,listen to the rev's and gear changes,brake,listen to the downshifting,repeat,repeat,and repeat again.
For this challenge,the old format of the WHL returns.For two reasons: the 5 lap stint makes an unbalanced challenge because the aliens take a lot of advantage lap after lap,which causes a huge dispersion in laptimes. F1's are always hard to push to the limits,so the differences would be bigger.Secondly,as much addicting this car is,it doesn't feel right to treat it with the objective of consistency.This one was made for going as crazy fast as you can.It suits more a true hotlap i believe. But don't worry,the 5 lap challenge will return on other challenges,whenever you ask or the car/track combo feels appropriate!



Nurburgring was choosen with the idea of putting the F2004 in a track belonging to the 2004 calendar.Silverstone was out of question because it's layout became too different,there is already a special challenge for Monza,Barcelona was used for the SF70H (the Moto layout would be the right one but still it's far too similar to the GP version).That left Spa and Nurb.Since this is a bit of a tribute to Michael,it had to be a German track. For reference,the pole time for the 2004 was a 1.28.351 and the fastest lap on race was a 1.29.468,all set by Schumi (who took the victory aswell doing 60 laps in 1:32.35,101).Can you beat those laptimes?I could do it on F1 2006 in my PS2.Here on Assetto?I'm more than 10 seconds slower.I guess i used to be an alien in the PS2

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 April 8th 2018 - 22:00 GMT.

How to take part!
To enter simply head into the game select Drive > Hotlap and choose the Ferrari F2004 and head to Nurburgring. 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, mode heading and of course the car being used!

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 from time to time, this will 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 leaderboard but remember you still need to include the session screen in this thread to be included in the results.

Good luck and have fun

Great introduction Hugo, and a good choice too. I'll be the forlorn hope and be the first to put my head above the parapet.

What an amazing car - and many thanks for this great introduction!
(although I usually prefer to turn off all stability controls / ABS ... that's even more fun, but slower ...)

 

Monday,day one...

Moody exchanges the bikes for a F1 and sets the fastest lap,but he is closely followed by Lewis.FRITZZ and LaughingGravy set solid laps aswell,faster than mine when i tried the combo!

I notice the default camber settings are uneven, 3.36 on the left, 3.13 on the right, should these be balanced?
What an amazing car, I need to recalibrate and build up the bravery levels for the corners...it was 10 laps before I was flat through the Schumacher S. Very good laugh!

First time I race in this car. Scary with a very high adrenaline level. No idea how I did it but I survived the corners. Agree with all the other racers: Thanks Hugo. Yet another moment of joy you gave to me. After five minutes I had to demoisture my VR goggles and installed the blow in my face fan again

 

I’ve noticed a new thing on the setup screen for H dampers front and rear . Or was they there before?
Not a clue what they do.

 

That's interesting choice of livery you have there, blue Ferrari..I never knew those exist

 

With all the respect to Schumi I just needed to try another 'random' Livery close to Max and Daniel and far away from Vettel
