[COMPLETED] ASSETTO CORSA: Season 1.

Thanks for the race guys. It all seemed all run pretty smooth from my perspective. I haven't been in an online race of that size that was raced so cleanly. 'Cept for one racing incident I got tangled up in. Racing Fargonz late in the race and it think it was Slash came out of the pits, I think he saw farononz but not me, re-took the line while I was already committed to the corner, a bit of paint was exchanged so sorry about that Slash.

So I am keen for the next race now.

Sounds like you guys had a blast. hope you have a short vid you can upload

Hey guys, I chose to qually and the race as I had 0 practice with this game. I only noticed around 4 laps in that it actually placed my car on the grid (I was spectating other cars). Luckily I had an inside grid box so I was off the racing line. Sorry to anyone who may of been put off by this. I quit as soon as I noticed.

Is there a way to spectate from the server without having your car on the grid?

I believe you have to move your car first though. You cant get your car back into the pits sitting on the grid

That was unfortunate mate, you we a lot faster than me. I pitted early to avoid the chaos, but was really struggling with tires by the end of the race

That is what I did and it put my car on track (I didnt know this at the time).

Well!

For a first night of running this it went pretty well considering!

Thanks @Anon666 for putting it together, I did talk about it with AJ but just didn’t do anything.. haha :| oopsey! However all good!

To the Quali! Well.. Off to the toilet I went at the end of Practice and came back to only 7 mins remaining in Quali! What the! Arrrghhhh!!! I got out on track and saw Stig putting down a 29.1 already, I thought decent time tracks still gripping in, I only had enough fuel in the tank for 4 laps however when I got out I got stuck behind Doogle... I gave myself room for the 3rd lap flying lap only for him to make a mistake in the last sector… ARGGGGHHHHHH lap ruined … Only managed a 29.3 putting me behind Kostar and Stigsy.. I was a little bummed as I knew I could have been on the front row as I did do a 28.283 in practice with 100% grip and was well on for a 28.6 on my 4th lap however the session ended while I was in the last sector..

To the race, I got off to a poor start, with Steve Cross getting a flying off the start getting in-front and tucked in behind Stig.. This is not what I wanted to happen if I had any chance for fighting for the win with Kostar… After things settled down for a few laps I pulled in Stig and Steve in and sitting in behind them, there where was nowhere to make a move if I was to do a dive bomb or something it would put both of us out, I was starting to get desperate as Kostar started pulling away and had about a 3 second gap on us. All I had to do was wait… The next lap Stig made a mistake into turn 1 running wide, Steve jumped on it and so did I… Now Kostar had a 4 second gap… I knew I had my work cut out for me! Two laps later I got a good exit out of the final chicane and I broke later than Steve into the first corner getting up the inside. I got it done cleanly only to notice now Kostar was 5.6 seconds in front! Arrrghhhh! I put my head down and started chipping away at his lead into the pit stops I was about 4.4 seconds down, I did a Kostar… haha Missed my pit box and had to reverse, I thought I missed it and had to do another lap, I had no fuel! However lucky enough I got a full tank of fuel and out I went!

After the pit stops I started to chop the lead down even more, and got down to 2.8 seconds, I made a few mistakes and I was over driving the car.. The tyres where overheating into the 100s and don’t think I could of done much more to pull back the lead and had to settle for 2nd place.

Well done Kostar on the win!
And thanks everyone for showing up! Now you have a rough idea how it works get on and practice for next week

Wow I really should get into AC more. Its totally different from GT6 though. The under-steer basically feels like I remember in my fwd car. So much more realistic and tyres coming on and going off over time, awesome!

Thanks for allowing me to turn some laps, even if I was just a moving chicane. Was way off pace with a mid 31 as my best lap.

Hopefully I'll get a little more competitive once I've spent some time getting my head around everything. Im found it all a little overwhelming with trying to adjust my HUD stuff on the fly.

@MINT_GTR, @warrior2167, @GTP_DHolland

DW, luke it comes with time and playing around with it... Im still getting my head around it all, however the setup and driving is the key and tyre temps really

Good one Koastr.
So the skins did work. When I joined the server my car showed up as pure red, so I was under the impression the skin didn't load - seems like it showed up for everyone else except me :-(

I'll have to run an integrity check on the files via Steam like Anon suggested and see if that helps.

Thanks to all for a great race. I initially thought I'd to have to abandon the event when in practice my server ping was fluctuating like crazy and all the cars around me were jumping about all over the place. I'm not exactly sure of the cause, we had just had a thunderstorm hit here in Perth just prior to the race. I also restarted my modem and shutdown my other pc on my home network and thankfully my ping seemed to stabilize at about 60ms. I think it all was fine from there in and did not notice any issues during the race. I could hear you guys on teamspeak, however I don't have a headset with microphone.

I did enjoy the race, despite being way off the pace. The best lap I could manage was a low 1:32. So a fair bit of improvement needed on my part. I had not tried that car before and not done many laps of Magoine. I had no idea on how to setup my car as well, the changes I made did not seem to make much difference! I started 16th on the grid and manged to pass a couple of cars, I spent most of the race circulating on my own. I made up a heap of places due to the pit stops. My pit stop all went fine and I returned to the track in 8th place! I was soon after lapped by a few of the front runners. So with a few guys pulling out of the race and others with bad pit stops, I ended up in 9th at the end of the race. I was really happy with that. After all it was my very first league race

Pete - sorry about that - it was a rookie error I saw the first car but when I saw you I tried to evade but made it worst
Thanks for the race guys, i really enjoyed it & looking forward to next week.
