Trackday simulator

Was driving a bit earlier today and started of with Nordschleife tourist and after a while i jumped in a race with gt2's on Spa. I did only one race before I got bored and went back to Nordschleife again. Its a real pleasure to drive around Nords and just take it easy, slide a little in turns and just relax. Do anyone else feel the same, getting bored of racing and keep going back to doing laps after laps on Nords?
Its says; Assetto Corsa - Your racing simulator. But to me AC is a trackday simulator more than anything and I love it!

 

Sometimes yes, but sometimes I prefer racing.

It's definitely one of the strong points for AC, that's true.

 

This is why I started running a single lap in all of the road cars @ the Nordschleife Tourist track. I just wanted to be able to enjoy the feel of the various cars, without worrying about other drivers at the same time!

 

That's the main reason I play AC so yeah.

 

Sadly with some of the things missing (Flags, AI Fuel Stops, different qualifying formats or practice shedules...) often AC is too much of a trackday simulator and not enough of racing simulator

Personally I don't like hotlapping that much, but I can see the Nords appeal for such.

 

It depends on what is valuable and important in your life.

 

For me its both and maybe more...

You can even drive rally

 

I've been running practice seasons even if I don't want to race other cars. It's just nice to have other cars in the mix and as a reference. The only problem with that is the AI getting stuck behind each other.

 

I almost exclusively drive on nords. Racing on a shorter circuit can be fun (door to door action) but it gets boring quickly where as chasing time around a 22km circuit never really gets boring for me. Especially with a friend or two.

 

They're just sniffing each other mate.

 

Is that the latest Disney Film, Caninecaterpillar?

 

I disagree completely, I only like AC because of the interior detail in the cars, I don't even drive, I just do "vroom vroom" noises by myself, close my eyes and use the steering wheel to drive in my head.(I can memorise the interior)
Vrooooom.

 

I agree with the topic starter. Its very, very rare that I drive muiltiplayer at all - but when I do, I look for trackday servers - and these always are Nordschleife Tourist.

But mostly I do single player anyway. Only then I can set up the session the way I want it.

Nordschleife certainly is the most used track for me, both in Assetto corsa and in Raceroom.
I would find it hard to build interest into any other driving title that does not offer the Nordschleife. There are other good and attractive tracks, yes - but none can rival my interest in the Nordschleife. Its the most important track of all there are.

 

I concur, having the chance to do both things is amazing.
I dont like hotlapping at all, but trackday with different cars feels great.

 

Nordschleife Tourist is great for single timed laps (and enjoying the countryside), but I couldn't care less about the other race versions of the track.

 

Did you try the full Nords?

 

I have driven the full Nordschleife track in other race sims.

 

That does not count, Christopher.

 

Me too, very much so!
Just taking the car of choice, and doing some laps around Nordschleife at a moderate pace, focusing on a clean line, a good apex, and only slightly edging it, wonderful!

 

Of course it counts. The Nordschleife Tourist track is hardly that much shorter than the normal track itself, with the bonus that I don't have to waste eight minutes of my life preparing for a timed lap.
