OOOHh ::) Nice. Finally the FFB feels great, nicely, heavily weighted and the car is quite nice to drive. Dont remember the increased tyre choice previously; you now get medium and hard troffeo slicks as well as the semi slicks. Only did 5 or so laps or so as an initial test, best was a 1.35.5 but always seemed to lose time in the middle sector having gained it in the first!

I just wish their updates werent so iR like, with such dramatic changes each time completely changing the cars feel.


Any idea how to increase the car movement in car? Ive got it set to the 3x option, but its noticeable how little it moves especially under hard braking.

Track creators done a nice job on this latest version, looks great. 1:34 pb for me so far, but seen the AI doing 33's.

Agree, altough it is very resource heavy. It is at least 10 fps lower then the other tracks on my low spec pc. I am sure the to be released Kunos version will be more optimised. It still ran fluid online but for the race i will turn PP filters of i guess.
Of all variants of the A1 Ring on various platforms i can feel track surface and car inputs best in this AC version. Very, very nice.

I didn't notice any resource hit.  :-\

I will probably be late to this tomorrow as I will be watching the Hammers take on Man U in the FA cup, so may miss praccy and qually and race from the back.

Are you not also going to miss the booking period, preventing you joining the race?

No as I can book in by running upstairs  ;D I'll just have to forfeit the pre race sessions. Already did a decent long praccy sesh anyway.

yet another hotfix to be downloaded... 1.5.7. So turn on your pc early enough then or risk missing the booking.

cheers for the heads up Stefan  :)

Server is up for booking. Don't see how MJ's going to make the race. We'll start at about 8:45 and the game will still have injury time added on at the end and possibly extra time to go.

no, no,no can not believe this. Had made an early booking and when i got back to my pc it was in sleeping modes somehow. Could not rejoin.  stupid W10.

Very sorry guys missed my own race  :-[ I should have asked if we could push it back 5 mins. My apologies  :(

Hmm, I've definitely rebooted my PC before now and AC has remembered by booking so not sure what happened there.

booking system sucks ****

Surprised at winning this one!  :o

I downloaded the track at about 7:30 so only had a few minutes to practice before joining the server.
As a result I was driving on a setup that was very close to the one I ran at Monza, only with the new tire model it seemed a lot twitchier (maybe this was just the new Medium slicks??) - I couldn't hold a drift with it hence the initial trip into the sand trap a few laps in.

It's shame the lead group split up as we all had similar lap times and it looked set to be quite an interesting race to the flag!
