AC Rookies: Abarth 500 Assetto Corse @ Silverstone - Monday, March 20, 2017

[Brandon Wright]

Ahh cool, that 1 looks like the Omega Art version..Your gear shifter is on the wrong side....

Nope, it's the Pro. At least I drive on the right side of the road though.

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

Right ok my bad,seat comfy??, Im getting the RS9 seat, bit chunkier cos i need it lol..

 

[Brandon Wright]

Yeah, quite comfy. I'm a touch chunky too (6', 200 lbs) and was concerned it would be too narrow but it's great.

 

[Celestiale]

i am out until further notice..going to lie down now.

 

[Paul Jeffrey]

So far so good! Not quite as sturdy as I'd hoped but pretty solid and quite comfy

Nice looking setup fella

Not as sturdy as you hoped? Oh I'm surprised by that as mine feels rock solid.. with the BKs and the CSW v2 setup strong I've got no flex issues at all. Is everything bolted together nice and tight and all the cross members and stuff added?

Either way looks awesome and mean as fcuk in that picture

I'll have a look around and see, it has some vertical movement but I don't seem to notice it when driving. I think it's because I had to use one of the extender bars, the front half flexes just a little bit at that connection point but the bolt is as tight as I can get it. The shifter mount flexes a bit but I suspected it would based on how it's designed. Not enough to bother me though.

Any livestreaming tonight?

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

Not tonight, we're still working on getting a North American stream going.

is the server up??

Will be in about 10-15 minutes.

Dumb question - how do i find both, the AC server & TS server?

To find TS just click on "Home" at the top of this page and if you scroll down a bit you'll see the RD TS server on left side, click on the header that says RaceDepartment.com and it will automatically take you to the server. Once you're in join the Assetto Corsa channel. To find the AC server just type racedepartment into the search box and look for RaceDepartment.com #1 (US).

 

[Brandon Wright]

Server is up, qualifying will begin in 45 minutes. Please remember to use your real name on Teamspeak and in the game (Bobby, you can have a pass this week).

@Paul Jeffrey @Lorenzo Bonder is it possible to gift a membership?

Hey @Brandon Wright

Yes I think it is, but for the life of me I can't remember how!

@Frank @Dave Stephenson guys can you advise please?

The new system @Bram set up for handling premium supports it I believe but I don't know if he had chance to test/enable all the bits of it yet.

 

[kcheeb]

That car is a blast to race!

Thanks Stefan for the awesome race! Great close racing and never a bump

 

[Brandon Wright]

Great racing guys! Huge crowd and lots of good battles. Had fun chasing down @kcheeb for a bit and then holding off @f1wheelnut, great stuff! See you next week at Nurburgring!
