after 650% of invalid laps it is better to stop for a moment before the frustration knocks on the door Switch to Abarth 595SS now...relax and chill for a moment

 

First try was a 2:31.xxx, knew i could do better so here is this one. BTW, whoever drove the real cars had to be insane because this is a genuine monster, the braking points that i would normally use are soooo much further back, holy crap!

****, didnt realize f8 doesnt put the time screen on there. Hope a screen of the after menu will be ok.

 

I actually think that the car is braking pretty good. If you look at the speed you reach compared to other race cars and where you actualy brake, it's really good for a car of that period of time. You can really use high speed downforce to hard hit the brakes then release it gently as you aim for the apex.

From earlier in the week. Was supposed to have a proper go at this Saturday, but plans changed and I invited an acquaintance I met the other week over for a go at AC. He's a pretty avid fan of cars and racing games himself and was well-aware of AC, but was humbled by the jump in difficulty and details required to get around the track compared to prior experiences with GT, Forza, Maximum Tune 5, and old F1 games to name a few. Not a bad session for him though having tried a good variety of courses (Nordschliefe, Silverstone, RBR, Imola, Spa, etc.) and cars (tuned Japanese trio, R34, F1 GTR, Porsche 911 RSR, classic Lotus F1 cars, V8 Ferrari F1, Mercedes C9). Even made him attempt this challenge too, but definitely too tall a task for someone playing AC for the first time!

Anyway, you got me this week @Laughing Gravy ! This car's not all that bad outside of maybe 1st and 2nd gear when the boost kicks in. And yeah, other people have mentioned about the car's tendency to understeer and I can definitely attest to that.

And here's a random picture of me standing next to a replica 917 in the local Porsche dealership:

 

Time - 2:13.130 - X1

I was going to stay away til the update came out for the Xbox, but this is my favorite car. Default setup, *edit* rear springs = 104

 

Hi everybody, I've managed to get mods of cars/tracks now, but could anybody please show me how to get other people's setups to my game/car? I would be very grateful. Much appreciated.

Hi @paul_wev : first you have to download the app of Mathieu : thesetupmarket.com . Also available via e.g. http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/the-setup-market.121309
After downloading and unzip/unrarit to the appropriate map (for me it is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\apps\python) go to the main menu of Assetto Corsa on PC and go via options to general settings. Scroll down to UI modules and be sure you checked the app "setupmarket" .

Installing is complete. Then once you started a race, hotlap in the main screen you hover your cursor to the right so you see all the icons. Search for the new 'setupmarket' button. See screenshot
After selecting that one you get a new screen with the available setups. Also play around with the extra option for setups : current track, any track, other track for the car you've selected. (white button in the middle of the screenshot)



When you see a setup you get to download that one. cursor over the download on the leftside. From that moment it is downloaded and back via setup of this car you can use/upload the one you just downloaded. Sometimes you have to push the track twice to see the downloaded file.

Hope this helps otherwise feel free to ask. Grtz Brian

 

Many thanks, I'll get to it once I get a bit of family out of the way(lol) and see how I get on.

I wish I could get times under 2:20, I'm just not confident enough in this car and haven't mastered trail braking. Does anyone have any tips to try and break the bad habits? I think I've got the fundamentals down, I just need help to push cars to their limit.

It is a bit of a turd this car. Videos are probably the easiest, as you can see what's going on with the throttle and brake.

If you can handle the rear a little bit loose, it helps break the understeer and you can use the throttle to steer.

Don't just hold full brake on into the corner. Start to gradually ease up pressure on the pedal just before you start to turn. Depending on brake balance you'll spin or just go straight if you have too much pressure.

 

Without seeing what you are doing it is hard to say! I think a lot of people simply try and brake too late, this robs them of corners speed which in turn reduces speed down the next straight.

Find landmarks (braking markers), track furniture, markings, curbs, tyre marks signed etc is the way to improve your braking.

Less boost may well help on corner exit, 80 percent is a great starting point...It will still spin up the tyres though
