2017 911 RSR was built just for me!

I am so glad that KUNOS secured licensing for Porsche. I honestly forgot that I even had the car. I bought the "Ready to Race Pack" and immediately used the Audi R8 LMS. I thought the car suited me very well. I do not own a race wheel. I have been using my X360 pad for about a year now.

I raced the LMS, 488 GT3, Hurican GT3, GTR, C7R and lastly the RSR. Of all the cars, the RSR seems as if it were built specifically for me. I did a 5 lap heat on Imola with all these cars. The Audi I managed a best lap of 1:59+. The Ferrari a 1:57+, Lambo 1:58+, GTR 1:59+, C7R 1:57+. these were not all raced on the same day.

When it came to the RSR, it felt like it could read my mind. Every turn came out exactly as I had it in my mind. The machine and I were one unit working together to achieve perfection! I ended up with a 1:52:601 after I started my 5th lap. Sadly I got over confident and crashed on Turn 9.

All scores were achieved with a default set up. If I can learn to set up the Porsche I may achieve sub 1:45's. At least I think so. I need to get a wheel for sure.

Do yourself a huge favor... invest in a good wheel and pedal, and a buttkicker (with SimCommander4)... it will be a whole new experience.

 

I was thinking of a Logitech G920 or can I get away with something less expensive?

 

A thrustmaster be a better choice. The Logitech is basically a G27 and thats an old wheel. I think the t300 is good value.

 

No G29! T300, or T500.

 

go with whatever wheel you can afford,

 

There's no problem in achieving 1:45 or even 1:42 with xbox controller, without any special car setup. Tell me if you want replay. From ingame wheel movement you will probably didn't even notice difference beetwen playing with wheel.
Only problem with controller is lack of force feedback, so it's harder to be consistent. And yeah, also lack of fun, I admit.

 

It sounds like you really like Assetto Corsa. All I can say is, if you like AC now you will lose your mind over how great AC is with a decent steering wheel. Yes, AC has awesome physics, but AC also has incredible FFB in my opinion. You can feel weight/load transferring through your hands. You feel the rumble strips as you pass over them. I could go on and on. Playing AC without a wheel & pedals should be against the law! j/k

Precisely. The T300 and G92/G920 are both fine wheels. If spending half a stack on a wheel & pedals is not a problem, that's even better.

 

congrats man! the moment you start enjoy ac you become addictive it is nice you have found your own car, mine is m3gt2, because of it i came into ac, but rsr2017 is the second one after m3gt2 i love the most.
Beloved car provides a nice motivation to get fun and.. spend funds for equipment!

 

You will get so much faster with a dialed in wheel and pedals... Case in point, I can do Imola with RS 2017 at 1:45.702 and with the Corvette C7R 1:45:03 without trying too hard... That is one of my favorite car, especially with the fonsecker audio.

I attached both hotlap setups... softer compound, lower fuel, lower gears ratio, etc..

 

The new logitech G29 or G920 is poor value for money, it's basically overpriced old G27 with mainly visual facelift. Get Thurstmaster T300 (better wheel) or used G27 (good, very durable and cheap)
