24h Le Mans 1989 1.02

24h Le Mans 1989

Drive as Jean-Louis Schlesser in the 1989 24h Le Mans.

This championship includes seven of the C1 cars from the 1989 24h Le Mans, with all of the correct teams included. The cars and teams have been balanced for a relatively accurate experience, comparative to the 1989 qualifying results.

This is a custom championship built around a collection of cars, skins and tracks, created by the extremely talented people in the Assetto Corsa modding community. All credits can be found at the end of this page.

Installation (in this order)

Note: It would be easier if I bundled everything up to install in one go, but there's a few reasons why I wouldn't. Firstly, it's a waste of resources hosting two of the same file. Secondly, if the resource is updated, I'd also have to update mine which takes time. Lastly, the original creators of the below assets should get the recognition and the download count, not me.


Step 01.

Download and install the cars listed below by dragging and dropping them into Content Manager:

1. Jaguar XJR-9
2. Aston Martin AMR1
3. Nissan R89C
4. Toyota 89C-V

Step 02.

Download and install the skins listed below by dragging and dropping them into Content Manager:

1. Porsche Teams
2. Mercedes Teams
3. Toyota Teams
4. Mazdaspeed Teams

Step 03.

Download and install the track listed below by dragging and dropping them into Content Manager:

• Circuit De La Sarthe

Step 04.

Place the contents of the 'champs' folder into your Documents/Assetto Corsa/Champs folder.

Tips

• AI are too slow
  Edit the championship (Content Manager > Content > Miscellaneous > User Championships) and edit the grid preset. At the bottom, add your own restrictor and/or ballast.
  ​
• Changing your/other cars
  Edit the championship (as above) to swap it. Remember to add your car back into the AI grid, and remove the new car you're driving from the AI grid.
  ​
• Adjusting race lengths
  You can tweak race times, AI numbers, your starting car and race lengths by altering the championship rounds (as above).
  ​
• New AI Behaviour
  In the latest Content Manager, enable the new AI features under 'New AI Behaviour', such as allowing the AI to overtake if impatient. This improves the competitiveness of the AI enormously.

Known issues

• Some tail logos on some 962C skins are cut off
  This is due to the skin originating from a shorttail version, but the longtail car was required for authenticity.
  
  
• Some car sounds are quieter/louder than others
  This is down to the car and its creator
  
  
• Some car headlights aren't as bright as others
  This is down to the car and its creator
  
  
• Some car wheels don't have motion blur
  This is down to the car and its creator

Extras

• The Porsche pack is collated and tweaked by myself to ensure that all the skins install properly. The original skins had issues installing to the wrong cars. Some were also for the shorttail 962, whereas the longtail was required. All original skin links are listed in the credits below.
  
  
• If you'd like the same car previews that I'm using, download my Transparent Thumbnails mod to use the new preview style for Content Manager.
  
  
• If you'd like a full weather cycle for the 24 hours, use the Sol Le Mans Weather Plan. Don't forget that a preview version of Custom Shaders Patch is required for RainFX to work. RainFX is already built into the Circuit De La Sarthe track.
