ASSETTO CORSA Season 10: Ahh, Porsche It! (Get up on this...911)

Nice vid cheers Marty. Super smooth what FPS did you have during the race start?
Sick drift from @krunch there about the 3m mark. yeeeew!

Great stuff Spidey some epic footage and moves there especially in such close proximity battling with @Seanus and @Cyber_STIG_77

Very nice. I think I will have to look into upgrade for i5 CPU and HD6970 GPU this year. FpS drops to around 30 off the start. Picks up reasonabley quickly to 40-50 as the grid spreads maybe 60+ by race end and is 70-100 with just a small grid but the low range is challenging.

Have also noticed some stuttering but when checking FPS it seemed OK so glad to hear that's not just me.

Haha yep sick is how I felt for a moment there when she stepped out

Hey guys dropbox have changed their file sharing protocol disabling public folders like the one I use to host the results tables, as of yesterday.

So if you can't see them or other images/links I've posted, don't stress, all the files are still there I just need to sort out some new links. Cheers.

I hope no-one was sick of pasta as we headed back to Italy for the second week in a row for Monday night's round. This time we were racing at Mugello - a name which when spoken aloud (especially by Cherno) makes you want sit down with a short black and argue passionately about the texture of Parmesan cheese. No? OK maybe it's just me then.

We also welcomed @marty to the AC party this week and he returned the favour by immediately topping the lap stats and then qualifying up in 2nd. Just what we need - another alien!

Despite my cheesy intro the round went well for me. I've managed to stitch together two good rounds in a row which is pretty amazing. Seems like Italy agrees with me (...that the texture of Parmesan cheese should be more like sand and less like dandruff). Qualifying went mostly to plan although I wasn't wholly prepared for the lower grip. After botching a few laps I managed a safety lap which dropped me in at the lower end of the top 10 - but I certainly wasn't close to my PB. Fortunately at that stage I don't think anyone else was either. Towards the end of the session as the grip came up a bit more I put in a smooth enough lap to grab 4th on the grid. Having almost no ballast is definitely a good tactic .

I got away to a good start and being on the outside of row 2 I knew I'd have to be watching out for an inside dive at T1. Of course @Anon666 was the top candidate for that move and as he got a draft behind @KoAStR he started to move along side me. I was able to hold him out though as I stayed on the outside and he kept it tight (err... nup I'll leave that alone). After T3 the top bunch were all nose to tail and the pace was fast. I found I had some instability with cold brakes and full fuel but managed to hold on to some slides and wobbles over the next few laps to stay in touch with the leaders.

Meanwhile Anon looked like he'd had too much Tiramisu for dessert as he was trying every line on the track to find a way past me. He tried an outside move at T1 but I just held him out. However, a few laps later he managed a better run onto the straight and made it stick at T1 dropping me to 5th. Great battle mate and a nice clean move.

By now I had @Cherno and @Shaun_A behind me in their own battle. I wasn't keen to be part of that so I kept my driving as smooth as I could. Shaun peeled into the pits for an early stop which left Cherno aiming at me. I managed to keep just far enough ahead to hold him off. By the time I pitted I those that I'd been battling with had already done their stops. My tyres were not feeling great and the 2 laps before I stopped had been full of scary moments losing me some time. As I'd expected I didn't get out in front of Anon but I was surprised to see that @tezpez85 was in front of him! Not the no tyres strategy again? That's like going to an Italian restaurant and asking for a bowl of chips - very risky! I could only hope his tyres would melt like Mozzarella on a pizza and I could catch and pass him before the final lap.

Alas I could not. I watched as Anon managed to pass Tez around T1 on the final lap. I needed 1 more lap I reckon! Nice work Tez as I could not have made my tyres last that long. So I crossed the line in 6th which I am very happy with (and no ballast added either hehe). It was a fun race and I didn't botch it with unforced errors. Thanks to the lapped traffic for doing your best to let the leaders through - I know it can be tough. Well done to @R0T0R-AU86 for the win, Marty for 2nd and KoAStR rounding out the podium.

So now for something completely different we are heading to Imola ... wait Italy again? I just want a bowl of chips dammit!

@krunch brilliant. Or should I say kruncheggan? Straight to the pool room... erm I mean home page!

Hope to be in an hour or so

Indeed. Some might say it bought as much delight as rainbows.

Did you end up finding the Spoofdy vid Dave?

need more apps, maybe slowly moving around. want to see less track. more apps.

Hey boys. We have been discussing the idea of reverse grids and this is definitely something we will do. Bringing it in near the end of a season, untested and on a track as punishing as Imola is probably not the right option though. So for all those wondering, it will be 2 races, 2 quals and full points in both races as per the OP.

I don't pay too much attention to cooler tyres so long as I'm hitting the optimal 'hot' pressure.
