The more i practice this the more i find to harness it's power it needs a bigger circuit tbh.

Didn't they run there for real? The 98t?

 

[Peter Hooper]

Yes indeed they did. It was for the last British GP before Silverstone took over hence my choice of car and track for this round. Ayrton Senna and Johnny Dumfries were in the car.. Senna put it 3rd on the grid but lasted less than 30 laps and Dumfries did better but only managed 10th place. Martin Brundle raced in that one too in the Tyrell Renault.

I love it Peter. Perfect choice.

Peter, yea, that info is in the screenshot of the lobby setting that was posed above, but in general, weather can only be clear (not rain) and time of day is therefore 2:00p, and track condition is always "fast" unless you want it "dusty" lol. Temp...24. Whatever that is. Damage is always full.

Have to say this is my favourite car we have driven on A/C so far, & always love driving around brands hatch too. Great combo!

 

[Peter Hooper]

Not driven it yet but it's always been a challenge whatever game its been in. I'm away though so depends whether I get back in time to race and if I do my first time in the car and on the track will be when we do our practice session beforehand

 

[Peter Stefani]

@ Peter H, Remember we drove this car in a TT with CRF a while back.

Yeah we did but it was at Spa and with the old tyre model. This latest update has changed things quite a bit.

Yeah, was there yesterday and made some adjustments for the new build and TModel. Quite fun there with that car! Was wondering about the Turbo boost? Got it on 60, and it feels ok, but not much experience with it. Any advice?

 

[Peter Hooper]

The turbo boost was what I struggled with in that Spa TH but I've subsequently driven it briefly at Imola a while back and found I could handle it much better. Maximum boost is what you want for top speed but of course its much harder to handle that way. I wish they coukd sort out this buttin mapping so you could assign a button for increasing the boost and one for refucing it rather than how it is set currently.

That is a great point. It's such a Ying and Yang. I am at about 60 or 70.

 

[bigwill369]

Is there a risk of engine failure if you run the turbo at 100%?

It should mean more unreliability as maximum boost was only used in qualifying and sparingly during the race but I'm not sure whether that is built into Assetto or which of the two variants of the car this one is based on as the former was more fragile than the latter but did pick up a single victory but I can't recall where that was. The second variant although more reliable was a real gas guzzler and was the big reason why it won only one race that season (Detroit) with Senna needing to race conservatively to get to the flag in other races. No 2 driver Dumfries never really got to grips with the beast but tbf was only in the team due to Senna throwing his toys out of his pram when a more competitive driver was due to join the team and he threatened to jump ship so the team relented and Dumfries got the seat as they wanted a British driver.

The only way to know is to test it over a race distance. I can't remember off the top of my head whether there is any info on the dash to indicate any problems with the engine so you can know to turn it down. Does anyone else know if this info is available?

Cheers pete, i am still trying to get to grips with this game like many others. Also you i noticed you set the fuel at 200%?. I can never see an option to adjust this when i setup a full weekend race. The only option i can see is "fuel on or off"

Yeah unfortunately the game doesn't mirror the online lobby settings offline so you have no option to set the fuel or tyre rate to match what we have in our online series. Silly really but tbh with tyres in the classics it doesnt matter because they last forever. In reality some teams would use them for several races to save costs. I hope in other more moden cars that tyre wear is more of a factor though.

Fuel though is more of a factor so you have to test it and then half the laps to get how many you will be able to do online.

Can't even play AC yesterday or today. MS issues.

What issues are they Peter? Couldn't you play offline?
