AC Alfa GTA @ Barbagallo - Monday 30 March 2015

[Tomi]

does Europe change there times as well? got to say that this is far too late for me as well! will be trying to find some compromise in future events!

Every Europian country belong to DST/BST zone (except Russia and Belarus). So if race strats at 19.00 GMT then it's same time as before.

Since i'm at GMT +3 hours time now, 18:00 or 19:00 GMT would be ideal time for me too.

 

[James Hemp]

Will all races now at the summer time start 1 hour later? Isn't this a bit too late? Winter time was way suitable.

same here. i can't finish tonight's race. it will end too late.

 

[Mitja Bonca]

Glad others agree that to begin race at 20:00 GMT is way too late.

This race proved that you don't need a full grid to have tons of fun. One or two cars around you are more than enough!

 

[Jim Liak]

Too bad i was too slow to follow you (aliens eat )

 

[Tarcirion]

Thanks for the race. Once again i saw that this kind of combination, car that difficult to handle (for me) and short track, not for me. Too many blue flags. I had fun and glad that i didn't cause any major damage to aliens but most of the time i was just trying to stay on track. I tried few different setups but couldn't find something suitable for me.

One question: With this car and also when i was racing with Lotus Exige, when i'm turning a corner if i shift down i immediately lose the back and most of the time spin. You can see many examples in tonight's replay Any advice on this?

One way to avoid this is by blipping the throttle while downshifting. That way you match the revs and the rear end doesn't unsettle. That can be achieved by the "heel-and-toe" technique: you press the gas with the heel while you are braking with the toe (watch this after minute 0:50).

Another way is to downshift really late and release the clutch slowly.

If you find it too much work, there is a "throttle blip" aid inside assetto corsa options. You need to enable paddle shifters too for that to work.

Thank you very much Akis. I'll look into that. There was a problem with youtube, it took so long to load video, but i watched it and few others about "heel-to-toe" technique.

Also there is one little problem i'm driving with Logitech Driving Force GT and have no clutch Hope there's not a clutch rule in club races I wanna get a G27 but it's just too expensive for me right now and also with my current living situation probably i can't buy even i had the money. It's complicated I did my best with my current situation, but this is it.

Thanks again for the suggestions. I'll try my best.
