AC Abarth 595 SS Stage 2 @ Highlands Short - Mon 03 Aug 2020
- Thread starter Denis Betty
- Start date
Assetto Corsa Racing Club event
Great to have you joining us mate.Man, I love Highlands Short. Sounds like it's gonna be great, definitely sign me up
Thanks for organising, @Denis!
Oh well, at least we are all in the same boat. The car is deliberately a bit tail happy though. There will be plenty of thrills and spills, spins, bumps and swapping of paint (RD rules will still be insisted upon OC), but it's really not meant to be serious. Club racing is meant to be fun and I'm hoping... well I can tell from experience, that this event will check that box. We will all get 3 bites at the cherry, so first to spit the dummy buys the beers (I don't me you Ern, you're super cool, me more than likely).The most difficult car I have ever driven, no setups, so can do very little to remedy the situation,
I just hope I can swing the 3 race format. It will mean restarting the session after R1 as soon as we've all finished, so wish me luck. Hey, maybe a couple of us could practice on a dummy server with 5 minute races. Anybody fancy helping me with that after tonight's club race?

Sorry, but I will miss this one. Monday is a holiday here and I will be away from home. See you next week.
Wow, I hadn't noticed that it was a triple race! Just saw the post - do you still want to have a go at it tonight?
After much testing I've come to the conclusion that this car is just a go kart with spongy suspension whacked on, and seems to like to be driven as such. In fact, I only change gears up and down once a lap here, 3rd and 4th, and I think you could get a quick lap in with just 3rd
I will put a mock race server up now. Any help would be appreciated. Ta.

Doh, I had given up on it for the night - will take a peek now
Yes, the engine is behind the rear wheels just like the 911. I think they called it the poor man's Porsche!The most difficult car I have ever driven, no setups, so can do very little to remedy the situation,
Massive thanks to @Neilski.
Races 1&2 will use qualifiying start positions and Race 3 will be Race 2 finising positions, but with reverse grid top 5. If you know what I mean.

Easy enough to follow. 1 & 2 will use Q & 3 will use 2, then top five reverse is due. Not confusing, right?

Did you try driving backwards? Much less roll over steer!Looking forward to this event, just to see if anyone can master fast laps and the consequence of horrendous roll over steer. It’s got me beat, completely.
Managed a 1:03.9 after two million spins.
Hello buddy, I'll stick yer name down.I'm in
You have outdone yourself with this one. @Denis Betty . I think that this event will shorten my life with 2 years
