Not the time I was hoping for, but still, a nice step forward.
Took me forever to assemble the lap, though I could clearly identify places where I was faster than my reference...
A bullet first sector, 15 hundredths into the green zone (1 tenth quicker than Mr GGE), and I finally made it through !

 

@Benoit Boyadjis You are a hard worker.

With some time to spare I checked difference in lap times with 10°. Result is 0.3 seconds quicker.

Talking about suspense...
Happy that you finally agree on the cold setup, and that you fought for even more domination !
That's now clearly out of reach

 

This is good. Wait I get the popcorn!

 

Great stuff!
We will all have to go again, at 10DegC!

 

I knew 10° would bring out the extra bit, but my point is that the gain from lower temps is greater on other cars. You can tell it clearly grips more, but the downside is that the rear grips a bit too much. I think for most people 20° is the better choice in terms of driveability.

I'm starting late this week, lots to catch up.

Regarding the 120 thousand budget, I would go for a giulia quadrifoglio. A 2017 model sells for about 40k, the remaining 80k are more than enough for some upgrades, possibly increased turbo remap and a set of (larger?) slick tires for track day.

As we have the quadrifoglio on AC, I made a comparison, I was 12 seconds slower than the lotus (1.49.5), but without my mods. Not bad for a saloon.

The GTA or GTAm I believe are beyond 120k.

That’s definitely it from me. The last 20 ish laps I’ve done have been getting slower instead of improving, I keep over driving it on the last 3-4 corners and making too many mistakes.

Does anyone know if AC runs on a Mac?
I know they aren’t for gaming but I’m curious to try it if it does to see if there’s a difference from console.

You can, but you will need an emulator that allows you to run Windows, such as Parallels or Boot Camp. Not sure what peripherals you’ll be able to connect though?

 

Thanks mate.
Mmm, Prob leave it then, Sounds like a lot of hassle.
I totally forgot about peripherals doh!

It’s pretty simple to get running, in computer terms not console, but playing on keyboard??? Although saying that, playing on keyboard you’ll probably still be faster than I could be on SX and wheel

 

No!! Definitely not with a keyboard mate. I’ll never understand why people prefer to use mouse and keyboard for gaming rather than a controller.
I know they say it’s better for FPS games but
I remember having to do it years ago before Xbox and ps controllers and I hated it.

Great stuff Lewis

 

Outstanding driving this week. Really great to see.
It warrants a Saturday Leader board update!

1. GoodGame.eXistenZ – 1.33.552 PC
2. Lewis - 1:33.789 SX
3. BenBB – 1.34.039 PC
4. Totall Wrytoff - 1.35.712 PS4
5. Emmanuel Tubbiolo - 1.35.856 Xbox

8. Jimmy_3226 - 1:37.738 PS4
9. Laughing Gravy - 1.39.438 PS4


Wow!
Good Game has gone out for a second run! He improves his time by 3/10ths and it is just as well. Lewis pops in an absolute peach of a lap, a tenth faster than GoodGame's original and just 2/10ths off his top spot! This is a very rare week where GoodGame is under pressure... and knowing Lewis....
All of this slightly overshadows the brilliant effort put in by BenBB! Fantastic effort. Is his lady onside and is there more in the tank?

This is the time when real champions are able to dig deep and find those extra tenths....


Assetto Corsa Competizione
AMR V8 Vantage GT3 at Suzuka
5 laps

1. SlowGrayAudi - 10:15.117 PC
2. Caly82Race - 10:19.941 XB1
3. Mike Reynolds - 10:20:631 PC
4. SlowGrayAudi - 10:23.124 PS4


Despite Caly82's recent entry, SlowGrayAudi, on his new PC, is fastest! By quite some margin.
That shows how the console version can mug talent. Caly would be doing 10mins 11 secs on a PC!
How about the AC Back To Back comparison @SlowGrayAudi ?



Just over 24hrs to go....

 

The only thing about these types of cars is that they eat brakes and tyres on track. So that is where some budget needs to go.
I had to look the Quadrifoglio GTA up, having not heard about it... Wow!
It is over budget! Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA = £153,000! (GTam will be £158k!)

Nonetheless, it rocks! It looks absolutely stonking!

Oh wow, I'm in awe at the 1:33s around here!
How much wing is "right"? I've gone with 0 (nope, didn't like that) and then 4 (seemed better than the default of 7) and settled on 3. I have a feeling that may be "wrong" tho
Fun car though.

 

AC runs really well on PS4, Since Kunos did it themselves and it was not outsourced to another company. It runs at 60fps on console.

So i dont think there will be much difference in AC honestly.

Its just ACC being poorly ported, as well as being like 7 updates behind PC isnt helping im either.

The hardware limitations on PS4 are killing ACC.

 

Honestly, given a choice between eye candy at 30 fps and a sh*t driving experience, and basic (even wireframe!) graphics at 60+ fps and a beautiful driving experience, I know which I'd choose...
Edit: or is the CPU also a factor?

 

I was on 12....

Nonetheless @SlowGrayAudi , it would be very interesting to see...

 

Ill see if i have time. I have a busy weekend (i work tomorrow)
