GRM Assetto Corsa Racing League S18 -GTC

I'm really looking forward to the replay of the first race, Pro and I had an incredible battle the entire time. I think after lap 1 we were within a second the entire rest of the race. Our cars were set up differently and it seemed mine was more stable on corner entry and could carry a bit more speed, but he got the power down better at exit so it ended up being a wash. It was basically 15 minutes of quali laps with almost every lap in the 52s, both of us on the ragged edge while trying to avoid any major mistakes.

I also really want to see the finish from another perspective as those last couple of corners were intense.

Just watched. That was epic - entertaining.

I think 09 caught a decent amount of it with his drone cam.  The stream is on his YouTube but he didn't post a link yet.  That race was tons of fun.

09:  in reference to your abs/traction control comment, both Sauce and I were running ABS but no TC.

Question about the Meadowdale results:

With 4th/6th, shouldn't Racebrick have finished ahead of Gameboy with 5th/8th?  Did their results get switched?

In reply to TravisTheHuman :

Ok good to know, ill try to mention that next stream. I apologize for not posting the stream links. here is Race #3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9ljEFxYTl0&t=578s

At the end of the series ill try to post them all here in order and I may make a compilation of best moments.

Surprised I didn't lose more positions in the standings, I think I went into the scenery more in Race 2 than in the last few seasons combined...I was probably just too exhausted after a long day.

In reply to GameboyRMH :

Thats understandable.
And Dean I do have the ability to download my livestreams if I wanted to edit them or just upload them as videos. The second of which Im not incredibly inclined to do.

Yeah, good catch.  That puts Gameboy and Rodan in a tie for 3rd!

Yet another glitch in the spreadsheet.  I still have no idea was causes the formulas to corrupt.  I swear all I do is just copy and paste numbers in non-formula cells!

Another talking point is you can tune car rotation coming out of corners with the traction control. I was doing this with the Ferrari. You can tune a car to be looser but control the rotation comming out of the corner.  The down side is the more intrusive the TC is it will reduce ultimate acceleration out of the corner but it can be safer. 

Silverstone Highlights:

This is cool. Using the same car pack with a 1965 version of Daytona.

Jimmy Broadbent is also in the race  I am watching both channels live  

Thanks for posting this Dean.

Caught the last half hour of the race and it was fun. 

No problem!!!   It was fun to watch.   I was back calculating his fuel. Figured out he was not going to make it with 15 to go or so. I was in the comments suggesting a short pit so he would get a longer run on better tires at the end and still hold his position. 

Anyone get any laps in yet?  Wondering what a good lap is.  

In reply to dean1484 :

:33s in the Alfa so far, but Sauce will probably run :30s... 

Oh......   Humm. I have some work to do.  

I got in to th 33s with your tune sauce!!!  

This track is tough to string together 15 minutes of error free driving!!!

I, too, got the Sauce Tune, and while I didn't improve my times, it did make the car easier to drive. I can actually steer it with the throttle a little bit now. 

Unfortunately, I don't know if I'll make it tonight. Taking the kids out for dinner, and being home by 9 is going to be tough. If I don't make the first race, can I join for the second?

Indeed.

There's a couple of kerbs that are deadly in the Alfa if you touch them in the wrong place!  And the entry to the 'esses' is usually interesting...

I'm still trying to get the Alfa to turn on the throttle in the higher speed corners.  Like the Ferrari, it just wants to go light on the nose and run wide.

Yes, you can jump in at anytime, even if the race has already started (you just start from the pits).

Great racing last night!  The last few laps of race 2, trying to hold off Sauce was fun... just couldn't gather up the slide in the esses on the last lap.

Here's some motivation for the Ferrari drivers... not quite the Series 2 we're running, but still amazing:

In reply to Rodan :

I was getting that battle coming out the last lap. I plan to do a replay coverage of that section to analyze the parts.
