Tried this combo out this eve...it gave me sim-gazms  I think you guys will like this 

Pete/Tony, can you take a look at the Lm2 side for me? I added all the info twice and it disapeared both times

I'm going to tentatively put this one on my sked.  Miffed that I missed the Lotus 72D at Brands go.

And before anyone complains about the time of day setting, it looks great with this lighting and no annoying flickering fence textures or dazzling reflections like we suffered at Spa. I also tried this time of day for brands and it looked stunning (and very real like the track evenings I've done there) so think we just got unlucky with Spa.
My triple screen view from the Ferrari cockpit was mesmerising   can't recommend that setup enough if your pc can handle it. I'm using 3 odd screens I cobbled together just to test the arrangement. I get no fps  problem until a 30 car grid online with my 770gtx card (4mb). Will be buying 3 matching thin bezel screens now I've seen how good it looks.  

Has anyone put the lotus 72 up against the 312 yet? Wondered how they compare for a future race.

[FullMetalGasket]

I think I have - either at Brands or Zandy. They were fairly close, the McLaren was also in the same ballpark too.
I'll go fire up AC and see what I recorded...

*edit:

Turns out it was at Nurby GP-

Ferrari    = 2:02.022
72D       = 2:02.477
McLaren = 2:03.132

All would have been done on practically stock setups, this probably explains why the Macca was a second off the pace...

[Mark J]

Cheers Fmg, Those times are reasonably close, especially if you can hustle the McLaren along a little quicker

[FullMetalGasket]

No probs - no idea how that will change with time spent on the actual setups though

What McLaren?

hmm....

Another hard, H-shifter car. Hope you guys are liking it

First laps are ok at around 80-90% trying work out how the car works round here. But it takes a while to get used to it, not trying to keep the revs up, letting it drop helps coming out of the corners.

Has AC changed recently? the last couple of races i've done the tyres actually feel grippy, loading the ffb. I remember it used to be really bad which put me off!

Don't know how recently, but few months ago there was a tyre update 6.

Jeebers, going to have to recalibrate my brain to get on the pace with these missiles, only 7 seconds slower than the AI so far 
Feels pretty intense at full chat through the dunes though 

[Mark J]

1:41 is best I've managed so far with 40L onboard. Seen the AI do 1:35's but don't if that was on softs and low fuel

AI is never a good benchmark, especially with such dumb AI as in AC  .
