That track was so slippy, my best qualifying and best finish, dead happy with that, some really close racing going around the left into hairpin 3 a breast with Rupe and Lesley I wish I could have held 8th because i had a 5 second gap at one point but just got caught into a oversteer slide too many times

Awesome race guys! At first I was thinking it will be a big fail for me, but at the end it was great fun. Had some extreme battles with Mr. Rasmus, Lind and Ernie!

 

[RasmusP]

Big sorry @Kurupt CDN for the push in the first lap! You let open the inside and I wanted to slip through. Sadly my rear end slipped instead and although I was smashing the brakes: I divebombed you
Hope you could still enjoy your first(?) AC race!

 

[Neilski]

Awesome race guys!

Yeah, great fun guys!
Btw, how do you make those "positions & gaps" pictures Lukasz?

 

[Eddy]

They are from here http://simresults.net/170524-lq1 you have to upload the race output, folder is C:\Users\<YourUser>\Documents\Assetto Corsa\out

 

[Neilski]

Ah, thanks, that simresults website is sooo cool. I checked out my own JSON file but bizarrely it seems to be missing the actual race date (just prac & qually).
Turns out I was quickest in sector 1 (yay! ) and rather poor in sector 2 (boo...).

 

[Paul Jeffrey]

Hope you enjoyed the final 500's race guys?

No worries mate that was actually my fault...i reacted to false info given to me by the crew chief. I knew you were behind me and mid corner the crew chief said on your left and i briefly saw an arrow in my top left....so I went a bit right and came across your nose and by the time I realized crew chief was talking about the guy infront it was too late.
After that it was just hotlapping where i toke the time to learn the car and was able to lap in the low 23s.
Overall it was a fun first experience, I need to tweak my TX settings as I was finding it very difficult to get a good feel on the cars grip and was more or less going through turns hoping for the best lol
I was finding the body weight shifting over powered the tire details and all i was getting was a heavy feel after intial turn in than it would stay heavy if i had grip but if i didnt it went light.....like an on/off switch hard to tell when I was nearing peak grip.
Ill post my settings later and hopefully one of the AC gurus can steer me in the right direction

Thanks again RD for putting this together!

Yeah we were quiet a pack haha. Was fun to battle with you!

For me the abarth is not really a car with great feedback.. I can understand you!
To the hit: driving assetto corsa has one big advantage: the helicorsa app I can recommend to download it!
It was still my fault but I am happy that you don't blame me for it

Hello,

Sorry for this race, I didn't ride, my graphic card 780 GTX has just broken during qualification .

You get those graphs as mentioned above, but if You want to upload the proper json file it's a little bizzare. You need to exit race till the next session start, 'cause it will overwrite the file. It's sad that Kunos didn't change that. And I'm not 100% sure how it works, 'cause sometimes I need to go before "black screen and pitstop", and other time after it. It's like saving the replay. Test in in some other free online races.

There is a new autosave option for the replays
