Assetto Corsa Competizione Interview Questions Request!

[Paul Jeffrey]

Having snagged a nice interview with Kunos Simulazioni about the new Assetto Corsa Competizione simulation, we want your interview questions!

So in the spirit of community engagement I need your help once again! I've got an interview lined up with the developers of the upcoming Assetto Corsa Competizione and would like you all to throw down your burning questions for the devs...

Please keep it compact, sensible and concise and one question per post please. Make it easy on me, I expect lots of responses.. !

While I have your attention, feel free to pop in your wish list requests on this thread HERE.

Assetto Corsa Competizione should be available on Steam Early Access Summer 2018.

Check out the Assetto Corsa Competizione here at RaceDepartment for the latest news and discussions regarding this exciting upcoming sim. We intend to host some quality League and Club Racing events as well as hosting some great community created mods (we hope!). Join in the discussion today.

Go on then, get your questions in below!

 

[Benjamin Krautter]

Will the number of tire sets you can choose from per raceweekend/session be limited/adjustable? E.g. let's say you want to try different setups with an already used set of tires. Or you have to choose in Qualifying whether to use a new set of tires or save it for the race.

 

[schrep1964]

Will there be a race school voiced by Chris Harris?

 

[Celestiale]

Will there be servers hosted by Kunos? (like IRacing or GT Sport)

 

[Óscar Melero]

Will the game require internet connection to play as Raceroom, or it won't like Automobilista or Assetto Corsa?

Will it be a pay to play, or a Raceroom like purchase model? Will be online free of charge if you own the game?

As it is Blancpain official game, will there be DLCs? Or just anual updates to the game as per the real competition changes and specifications?


Thank you

Is this a prequel to what AC2 could be?

 

[Conrad Miller]

Will you simulate chassis flex and drivetrain inertia like iRacing does?

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

What physics improvements/refinements will it feature over AC?
Also,
Tire punctures, stall-able engines, manual pit road speed limiter, rolling starts, full course yellows?

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

Will you simulate chassis flex and drivetrain inertia like iRacing does?

Out of curiosity, how many race teams do you think let iracing strap their car to a metal plate and then twisted it in order to get iracing that data?

Do hope some kind of canned effect like iracing is included though, good question.

 

[Brownninja97]

One of the interesting parts of rain is the uncertainty of how crazy it will get. Some games have several tiers of rain like drizzle, downpour and monsoon or rain on half of the track. Is something like that possible within ACC?

 

[ltcars]

Will it have similar performance asto AC1? Or do I need to beef up my PC?

 

[BrainsBush]

Are reallife GT3 drivers involved? Otherwise I can ask a Dutch GT3 driver

Motion sim support (NLR v3). Or vice versa will NLR support ACC?

 

[Ian Navarro]

What about physics, will we see an overhaul of the physics including more dynamic tyre model and dynamics of the car apart from what's been already shown?

 

[schrep1964]

Will there be pitgirls or are you going to use children?

 

[mantasisg]

How to be fast in those damn GT3s ?

 

[Andor]

Will it be a free demo?

 

[Steve Worrell]

Will you simulate chassis flex and drivetrain inertia like iRacing does?

This sounds interesting. As in, flex in case of an accident?

 

[Conrad Miller]

Out of curiosity, how many race teams do you think let iracing strap their car to a metal plate and then twisted it in order to get iracing that data?

Do hope some kind of canned effect like iracing is included though, good question.

They do a torsional stiffness test, which means they fix certain position of the car and then they apply a certain amount of torque to another part of the car and they measure the deflection. Any teams would already have this data, they dont have to do it just for iRacing.,

 

[Epistolarius]

Crew Chief / Engineer beyond simple clear, or car right. Perhaps help with fuel and tire strategy based on qualifying position, setup based on telemetry gathered during testing or practice.

Expanding on that, is a pit radio incl. spotter and race director transmissions a planned feature?

 

[mantasisg]

Will wet surface grip depend on tarmac smoothness, as it is known that in curves on the racing line tarmac is smoother or/and packed wit hrubber which also makes it smoother, and so makes it super slippery when wet.

In other words, will there be viscous hydroplaning ?

 

[Steve Worrell]

Oh. Will we still be able to skin cars. Everything crossed it does.
