TT Circuit Assen

The TT Circuit Assen (or Circuit van Drenthe as it was originally known) is a mecca for motorcycle racing, as important for the two-wheeled brigade as Indianapolis, Le Mans or Monaco is to those on four wheels. Winning here is an achievement that racers treasure above almost all others.

A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you must check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Always try to re-enter the track parallel to the racing line. Stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car.

When joining the track from the pits, remain inside the white line and stay off the racing line until you are up to speed.

During qualification, do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by.


Golden Rule

1. If you hit somebody, sending them off the track and carry on like nothing happened, you take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
2. Instead, you should always wait for the affected drivers, and that way you can be 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

1. No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a lift of the gas please.
   You will be penalized if you break our rules

Note: Please use your full real name in Discord. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium

Is there a reason the Beemer has once again be BOPed down?

Judging from the last results the Lanzo is already the fastest car, so why cripple the others even more?

(asking for a friend )

AC - RSS GT-M @ Watkins Glen - Sunday 25th June 2023

Driver position can be setup via a in-game app called Driver View(IIRC, you can find it in the menu on the right). The pit setup options only appear when you drive into the pits but should be controllable via the mouse if you have or the POV1 buttons, you select either with the checkmark shown...

Not sure, if you have any links I would love a read!

The next race will be number 6, and the last doublesprint, so it will get a bit of a reset afterwards, before returning to the longer races.
Slowest/least BOP car gets returned to 0/0. It will be halved for all other cars or they get the same drop the slow one gets, whichever results in the lower BOP.

It was a much bigger cluster**** than I remembered, I just thought it was "winners car add wheight, losers car stripp".

But they didn´t get it to work and ditched it.

There is no perfect system but the obvious issue with anything like that, based outside of race results, is sandbagging. Qualy or single lap results don't account for tyre deg, fuel, stability on worn tyres, or more subtle things like how a 911 is tricky to balance as the fuel load burns off.
Generally in AC GT racing that variable will be the MR cars getting twitchy as the back tyres wear and the FR cars going into understeer and loosing a touch of pace that way.

I'll just stick with the Bavarian one. Just looks too good.

 

[Interslice]

Hey Manos, I've added you to the password thread. Welcome aboard!

The merc drives really nice out of the box, without touching the setup.
The suspension doesn't seem great on the Lambo. I'm not sure if it is fixable with the setup.

If I want to ride in a Mercedes, I call a Taxi

Kidding, of course (not)

The wife said, what is BOP, so I explained it all, she said that is silly.
If you drive a car in the middle of the field and the winner is in that car and wins, you get the hanficap, putting you further back in the next race.
The BOP should be the driver.
The more I explained the worse it got.

 

[stigs2cousin]

Man, I feel you
