AC Ford v Ferrari v Tornado @ Silverstone 1967, Tue 2nd July 2024

[JamKart22]

Welcome to the OT Racing Club.

In honour of the British Grand Prix we're off to the 1967 layout in these cars of the period. Lets see if the GT40 has the measure of the 330.

After a rave recommendation by @gearwhine I've also added the Berta Tornato SP as a test to see how it compares - but just treat this as a multiclass race as all three cars are probably not very evenly matched!

I've added two excellent skin packs for the Tornado

We'll revert back to 2x25min races for this one.

I've added skin packs for both cars so be sure to install these.

I'm in Colin and even though I've never driven the Tornado, if Steve recommends it, it will be a good un

 

[gearwhine]

Guys, you might want to change the sound of the Berta if i recall. It has been updated a few times and it might now be ok but it did sound pants when i first found it

 

[Shed 17]

Sounded OK to me Steve but then after driving the GT40 and Suzuki my hearing is not what it could be!

 

[JamKart22]

Sounds ok to me too. Steve has recommended some skins so I'll add them when I get chance.

 

[JamKart22]

Two lovely skin packs added - I've already bagged Senna

Berta Tornado 4k/2k skin pack

Twenty six skins for the APVS Berta Tornado. Famous drivers and liveries for a not so famous car. 4k (recommended) and 2k (low resolution) versions are included. They're not historically accurate but I've fallen in love with this car and wanted...

1971 FNM Quetzalcóatl 'Squadra Biscione' (APVS Berta Tornado SP)

This is the trio of "Squadra Biscione" liveries, as worn on the bizarre FNM Quetzalcóatl, a Brazilian sports prototype built on the Berta Tornado SP body and powered by a hybrid Alfa Romeo-FNM twin-cam six. Fading into obscurity by the mid-70s...

I don't think Silverstone does this car justice but we'll have some fun in latter races

 

[stigs2cousin]

I think I got the right direction for my setup now:

And I claim the "AC Offroad Award" for my showcase.

I won´t chicken out again but I can´t promise I´ll enjoy it.

 

[stigs2cousin]

Ernie,

very nice of you to pretend this was a joke.

 

[Twoddle]

Got family coming over but will do my best to make it.

 

[stigs2cousin]

Stupid question?

We do 25min races with pitstops to give is opportunity to cock up the race strategy, right?
Even the GT should make 25min without refueling

 

[JamKart22]

My mistake with the pitstop

 

[stigs2cousin]

Why?

We could do mandatory tyre changes, that would **** up my strategy!!

 

[JamKart22]

I've switched pitstops off now

 

[stigs2cousin]

Brought a Ferrari to a Tornado fight and cocked it up.
After starting from the pits in the second race I again selfspun and went for beer early.

Will have look at the Tornado tomorrow.

Here's the performance update file

Assetto Corsa PC Mods General Discussion

Velo's Mods presents a rather tidy Series 1 Lotus 30, by Velo and myself. Meticulously researched to provide authentic historical skins, and lifelike features such as dreadful brakes and a fragile gearbox, it's a fun but tense drive! Lap times matched to real life times at Goodwood, Mosport...

[stigs2cousin]

You are messing with me, right?

The Tornado doesn´t even leave it´s pit space:

I select 1.gear, hit the throttle and it slowly rolls backwards.
Data replacement pack doesn´t make a difference.

Maybe I should take the hint??

 

[JamKart22]

Are sure it isn't a problem with your rig? Try another car to confirm.

 

[stigs2cousin]

Confirmed, Cupra runs fine.

Also telemetry shows gear engaged, engine revving, seems like someone forgot to put in the drive shaft.

 

[JamKart22]

Very odd. You could try a fresh download and install and see if that helps.
