After buying the beta version,tried some cars today. It's really different from everything else but one thing is clearly missing even in the finished game... modern Formula's. With more Formula's, something like gp2 and a modern F1, i would not feel the need to play other sim. If they have Ferrari licence, why can't we have for example the f10, a car we already had in NKP? It would be perfection for me.

The thing with Assetto Corsa seems to be aiming at close battles all around the track. At least, that's as far as the car selection goes now. Modern F1 cars don't really offer anything like that in my opinion. They are more of the technical side, but correct me if I'm wrong. Road cars and the single seaters like Formula Abarth offer some epic racing if the collision model is done properly.

Well, don't think F1's are a lot different in that respect from the zonda for example or the 599, they are not momentum cars, like the Abarth500, cars i really love to drive because the are all about the driver. But with more than 30 cars i think it's a shame to not have more Formula's, not necessarily F1. Single seaters/open wheelers will allways be the ultimate racing cars, because they are designed exclusively for that. Probably with all the lotus available Kunos had a deal to not make concurrence to the lotus t125, otherwise nobody would drive it, i don't know. Anyway i'm not just talking about F1. i would love to have something under the tatuus, like the skipy in iracing and maybe something in between the tatuus and the F1, but this one is not essencial. All formula steps, just 4, or at least 3... f2000, f3, f1 And i would be a happy man.

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

Because F1 license is big $$$ to acquire it would seem...There will be the T125 (?) that in the real world if you were very, very rich is the closest thing to a modern F1 car that is available to buy. This will be the F1 car of Assetto Corsa if you will...Modders will be filling in the gaps as quick as possible I would be willing to bet.

 

[Leemstradamus]

@Michael Hornbuckle I agree that F1 is big money and not even needed. F1 isn't needed in my opinion. Some of the first mods will be F1. The T125 will be a spec F1 car for great high powered racing. I think it's going to be amazing!

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

That thing will be way too fast for me...Hell the open wheel car we have now (formula Abarth?) is way too fast for me...I feel like I am flying at Magione and I am over 3.5 seconds too slow...

 

[Leemstradamus]

@Michael Hornbuckle and here, but I'm 3.5 seconds slower in every car.

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

Road cars I am usually less than two seconds and some of them at little Magione I am only a few tenths away from WR....The step 3 F458 I am decently close to the the fastest guys but cars like the Zonda, GT2, GT3, and such I am 5 seconds off at Imola and Mugello.

All I know is my friends and I are almost always within a few tenths of each other and judging by the leaderboards the field is so tight where we are running that the races should be crazy close...Maybe not for the win if an alien comes into the room but there should always be a car or two to battle with.

I think we went way off topic though....guess for december 31st? Lambo

 

[Kristóf Kerekes]

Well, for my liking, the Tatuus is as far as I would go with Single-Seaters. I've always been a lover of them since I do simracing. From Formula BMWs to GP2, but anything over that for me now is not entertaining. Just because it's nearly impossible to get a perfect lap in such a quick car, which means more diversity in either the leaderboards and the races too. On the other hand, anyone can learn the Tatuus in 15 minutes, jump in and be 0.5 seconds off the World Record right away, just because it's so much easier to get right. Therefore it provides closer racing. That was my point in the previous post.

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

I wish I could be within .5 second of fast guys but I get your point. I would play around in a Skip Barber car if we had one...And I bet modders will make one pretty quick.

 

[Leemstradamus]

I so want the skippy and the formula Ford! They would be amazing additions to an already stellar lineup.

 

[Bart Manski]

Agreed. Formula 1600 and 1800 were my favourite cars in nKPro.
By the way - there's even a road legal Formula Ford car with 1 liter engine

 

[Damien Wintz]

P 4/5 Competizione 2012 with Kers, it's not listed in the Assetto Corsa cars list but I remember a post by Aris talking that he was building it...

Most definitely

Which formula 1 teams wants to share his data? I think no one, cuz it could be copied they think. Thats why codemaster produces only arcade racing...

On the ring ill lap anything, even hot ones
