A bit off topic but there seems to be many car mods for good racing, like koningsegg... https://assettocorsa.club/mods/auto/

Server will be reset in a few minutes as i have had to reboot my pc. Win10 has suddenly decided to not recognise my wheel. Looks like a driver reinstall is called for. There goes most of my practice time :(

Great race guys, shaking off the rust little by little so it was nice to get podium. I completely forgot I was experimenting with the rear wing in practice and went into the qualy session with not enough downforce :(  

I was watching Tim and NSFW duke it out for a while and and then Tim hit something and grabbed I grabbed third, was keeping up with NSFW but just didn't have enough speed and made a few too many mistakes to be close enough to try something at the finish.

Missing next race, but I'll be at the one following.

Had a good race fighting with Bob and Larry. Enjoyed that. This track has a good mix of corners too, which added to the fun.

Always enjoyed Estoril and this is the best version I've ever seen. Really looked very professional. Still hate that silly chicane near the end, but it's a challenge!

Good racing in these cars (as ever). Roll on the next one.

Enjoyed that one, will have to use this track again soon! Was good to see a decent turn out again as well. We are off to Brands Hatch for the next race in a fortnight

It's a fun but very challenging track, all those slow turns just invite mistakes getting on the power, and the bumps in the last turn mean taking the correct line makes a big difference...  definitely not like the Grand Prix 4 version which I think was the last one I really drove  :o

Qually was OK, had a little traffic and didn't nail the absolute lap I knew was there, but it did the job  :)

Race was interesting, especially the first couple of laps with cars close behind, I spent a lot of time watching the mirror waiting for an attack into a tight corner, but it never really came and I started to slowly pull a gap removing that risk. Then it was a long race of trying to keep a rhythm and monitoring what was happening behind so I maintained enough pace not to get caught.


Roll on Brands GP
