Nice to have you back Ferry,

How do you find the F333? I find it a really challenge, have to play around with the brake balance otherwise the front keep locking.

I like over steering cars (funny about that!) so I usually try to dial out any trace of understeer, with the 333SP it is neutral brake balance with a tad of rear bias, just enough to stop the fronts from locking up. I do provoke oversteer via the loud pedal.
Not necessary with the evil Lotus 40! Bloody thing would roll on wet grass.

Fun little car!



This is more something for Daveroo I guess. Sort of an agricultural vehicle with a billboard strapped on top. Not my kind of car..

New update and DLC pack just released:

KUNOS Simulazioni and 505 Games are proud to present the "RED PACK", the DLC package for ASSETTO CORSA that includes seven legendary Italian sports cars and Austria’s RedBull Ring circuit.

Since the birth of modern motorsports, Red has historically been the colour of choice for Italian Manufacturers & competitive teams. In keeping with that theme, the RED PACK includes some of the most wanted cars from the most iconic italian Factories, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati!

The CARS:

Ferrari SF-15T
Ferrari F138
Ferrari 488 GT3
Maserati 250F 6C
Maserati 250F T2 12C
Maserati GranTurismo MC GT4
Lamborghini Aventador SuperVeloce

The track
Spielberg REDBULL Ring Circuit

The Ferrari SF15-T is the first Ferrari GP car to debut for ASSETTO CORSA, it is the second car made by Ferrari since the reintroduction of turbo engines in 2014. The red single seater has been reproduced in cooperation with Ferrari.
The Ferrari F138 (originally known as the Ferrari F2013, and sometimes referred to by its project number, the Ferrari 664) is a Formula One racing car designed and built by Scuderia Ferrari for use in the 2013 Formula One season. It was driven by two-times World Champion Fernando Alonso and his team-mate Felipe Massa. The chassis was named F138 to represent the year that it would be raced in, 2013, and to mark the final season that Formula One would use V8 engines.

The Maserati 250F took part of Formula One racing between January 1954 and November 1960, when rules allowed 2.5 liter unsupercharged or 750 cc supercharged engines.
Maserati went with the former, chosing a straight six aspirated engine configuration; in 1956 it mounted a V12 engine. With a quite roomy cockpit, Maserati 250F featured a 4 gears transmission (plus reverse) and Continental fashion pedals arrangement: clutch, throttle and brake in this order.

The Ferrari 488 GT3 is the the racing version of the latest 488 GTB, presented at the Ferrari Finali Mondiali, as replacement for the 458 Italia.This car features large side intakes to provide a better air flow to its twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter V8.

With increased power, lower weight, improved aerodynamics and innovative technologies the Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce is the most pure incarnation of a Lamborghini to date: unmistakable Lamborghini super sports car DNA, dynamic superiority and exceptional driving precision.
A focus on weight reduction while incorporating innovative technologies has resulted in the most sports-oriented, fastest and most emotional series production Lamborghini ever. The weight has been further reduced by 50 kg through enhanced lightweight engineering including significant use of carbon fiber. The naturally aspirated V12 engine's power is increased to 750 hp. This results in a power-to-weight-ratio of 2,03 kg/hp. The Superveloce accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and powers on to reach a top speed of more than 350 km/h.

After the experience with Trofeo Series, Maserati is ready to push the GranTurismo MCs into a new challenge: the international GT4 series.
The modifications needed for GT4 homologation mainly concern the engine and aerodynamics. The car's overall technical make-up will be unchanged: the 4700cc engine, electro-actuated transmission with paddle-shift commands and a kerb weight of 1410 kg will stay. The fitting of an air scoop will reduce the car's power output to 430 bhp from its current 488 bhp while a newly-designed rear spoiler and modified diffuser will bring the car's performance into line with that of the other GT4 cars.

The RedBull Ring has been reproduced for Assetto Corsa to the highest level of detail through the use of laserscan technology.

Just finished updating Ferry.
Looking forward to driving both versions of the 250F, my all time favourite Grand Prix car!!!!!!
Some very interesting cars in this one (and some really 'meh' ones!) but overall pretty good.
Curious how AC managed to get an 'Official' Porsche AG license especially as they have a large selection of pseudo 'Porsche' cars on board.

Did you spot the easter egg in this pack, Noddy?

You won't be disappointed! Not difficult to drive, but very hard to drive fast. Great sounds, very immersive (At least on the six cylinder version, haven't tried the V12 yet.).

They used RUF (Just like pCars) because they couldn't get a real Porsche licence. Time for some reverse virtual badge engineering on the already included models....?

Something else you might like:

I'll tell ya, I have a whole lot of respect for the guy that did a 2:06 at Zandvoort in a 250F during the last historic GP...





Did not even come close!

Nope I haven't, what is it? Sorry being lazy.

I'm wondering... Do those huge wings provide any usefull downforce at all, or are they just there to provide space for sponsors ?

[Ferry_vO]

There's an extra car.......

Not exactly a racer but still fun to explore.

[wombat666]

I'm wondering... Do those huge wings provide any usefull downforce at all, or are they just there to provide space for sponsors ?

IIRC they provide substantial down-force (Important for a car that wheel stands like a bike!) and side stability.
And of course, advertising space ..........
While I have great respect for today's drivers I really hate the 'wings'.
Way back when I was far younger we were regulars at the local 'Speedway', but only when bikes and 'proper' sprinters/midgets were the main contenders.
Nothing quite like a warm Summer night and the howl of a 90ci Offy scenting the air with Castrol R and Methanol to give me goose bumps and a chubby.

thay do add downforce,and yes its usefull,but you have to have both sets of wings,you lose the nose wing and it just wont turn,and if you "romp" on it,,it will lift both front tires at a time you just dont want them to lift..lol..ive run both winged and non winged,both are alot of fun to run,i hate to say it,but the winged cars are easier to drive really..takes more skill in a non winged car.lots of throttle control needed.more stagger in the rear tires aswell.

bottomline..yes the wings do add usefull downforce.

i watched a mixed show once at the Hanford Calif speedway ,the non winged cars did well but the winged cars had the advantage for sure.the non winged cars turned better in my opinion,but the winged cars out ran them on the straights.

but mind you,this is a hot point for sprint car/midget fans and drivers....most either love or hate one of the others..if that made sense.

[Ferry_vO]

A lot more fun than I expected it to be..

[noddy]

Trucks racing it doesn't seem right

[noddy]

[Ferry_vO]

Where did you find the touring cars, Noddy..?

This one needs a bit of provoking to be fun:

Such a shame that project was a complete failure...
