As part of our continuous maintenance and improvements to Assetto Corsa Competizione we will be releasing small updates on a regular basis during the esports season which might not go through the usual announcement process detailing the changes until a later version update where these changes will be listed retrospectively.
  3. If ACC doesn't start with an error or the executable is missing, please add your entire Steam directory to the exceptions in your antivirus software, run a Steam integrity check or reinstall the game altogether. Make sure you add the User/Documents/Assetto Corsa Competizione folder to your antivirus/Defender exceptions and exclude it from any file sharing app (GDrive, OneDrive or Dropbox)!

Spoiled for choice: Which Lotus?

    I love Loti. I owned one many years ago. I'd like to "specialize" in Lotuses in AC but I've been seduced by the Ferrari 458 Italia and fear that I may be underwhelmed by the Lotuses. A lot of new Lotuses have appeared since I last drove one in the sim: can anyone recommend one with some grunt and all the expected cornering performance? If there are setup tips I'd appreciate those too and, finally, any inside info re. which are the most populated Lotus/track combos in RSR. Thank you!

    Evora GTC. It's a blast. Makes me almost forget the 458S3:)

    BTW it's got Aero, slick tyres, a proper limited slip diff(which 80% of the Lotusses doesn't have in AC) and grunt, 450BHP and 460Nm.

    OK 1200kgs it not really Lotus-like but 900kgs and 240BHP(the rest) looks nice on paper, but in AC they feel a bit underwhelmed as you stated, plus no lsd , which means going back to a 1M/458 whatever immediately in my case. Not so with the Evora GTC(or GX for that matter)

    Cheers
    Robin

    That's high praise indeed, Robin, and exactly what I needed to know, thank you! I wonder where to run it for the best user lap time data on RSR.

    If the Evora GX had ABS it would be perfect. Other than I am always locking up the brakes it is awesome. The Evora GTC seems so much more civilized than the GX yet they run very similar lap times. The Ferrari 458 S3 runs very similar lap times as both of them; unfortunately for them the Ferrari 458 S3 is perfect.

    I prefer the GX by the slightest of margins out of the two of them right now though.

    You are all right, it's a fantastic car. Very forgiving; if you overcook it in a corner entry, lifting off the gas will tuck the nose back in, it's easy to hit the apexes, turns on a dime and requires less preparation for braking and cornering than the (much heavier) Ferrari. Of course, if I find it relatively easy to drive, that means the many, many more talented people also driving it will find it easier still to go faster. I've done a couple of tentative laps at Mugello; the default setup seems good although you have to increase the final drive ratio or you'll hit the rev limiter in 6th on the long straight.

    Im really enjoying the new GTC tho Im finding it quite difficult to set its suspension right. The default susp setup seems to be quite jumpy at bumps and by softing it a bit, I could lower about 4s of my time, even if Im still 6s from the top. Its alignment is also a bit strange I think, it read -[hundreds]!?

    How are you guys managing to set this car up?

    I cant brake with the gtc.
    Its pushing to left or right, which i never experienced with any car so far.
    Gx is my choice so far.

    Felipe just make the rear suspension and fst bump off the gtx to the lowest.

    i like the gx a little more for the slightly higher torque, but man those two cars are sharp driving!

    As much as I'm loving the Evora GTX, I'm 5 sec off the pace at Mugello with it, so setup tips would be much appreciated.

    If you are talking about the GTC, the best setup tip I can give you is to park it and take it's hotter sister the GX out.

    Michael, yeah, sorry, wrong designation. I have an honorable record of dating the hotter sister so I will definitely take the GX for a ride. I hope there are as many people doing so on RSR at Mugello -- or anywhere else for that matter -- so that I have a scientific basis for measuring how slow I am.

    Any setup tips for the GX?

    Only thing I know to do is lower fuel so I figure, why bother? default is fine

    Stickiest tires of course, if you are going against the rsr board.

    All the lotus race cars are superb.
    It does move around a lot under braking. It worked out for me in a race, I braked late and was heading for the back of the car in front, next thing the car started moving right and it turned into an overtaking move.

    GTC is ~0.4 sec faster then GX at the 1000m drag strip

    Fastest GT in straight line

    1. BMW Z4 GT3 - 0:19.504 (Akis Kevrekidis)
    2. BMW M3 GT2 - 0:19.778 (Patrick V.)
    3. McLaren MP4 GT3 - 0:19.880 (Andy Go)

    5. P4/5 Competizione model 2011 - 0:20.220 (Akis Kevrekidis)
    6. Evora GX - 0:20.525 (Kristaps Dzelzgalvis)

    *1000m drag WR's
    * Both Evora versions will improve a bit, because I am not a drag expert :D
    *E30 DTM - 0:20.597 (Akis Kevrekidis) not bad:eek:
