Have you been following the thread on that 962? Talk about labour of love, that guy has modelled every last detail  wish he would release it soon and hope it fits in with the other two Grp C cars, even if we have to ballast them out a bit for BoP.

I actually found the mazdas tyre model more realistic than the c9's tbh, in terms of grip and feel and how they warm up, even though the c9 has the latest tyre model.

and then there's this crazy beast....

I tested some time ago 962 in Assetto, it has some graphics issues, but it was so funny. Hoping more Group C (Jaguar, Nissan, Porsche, Toyota...  ) to test these beast.

I really enjoyed race, Jeffrey was so quickly with turbo-boost, but 787 had a better race pace. I don't have a good qualy, in fact, my faster lap was around 2:11:0 and I couldn't achieve it. My start was awesome, and gratefully all people on the grid was so clean. I hope have good fights against you A lot of funny seeing how the guy that start from boxes overtakes all of us a little bit scared on Eau Rouge because difference of speed but all people was great. Then I managed my tyres (medium tyres), at lap 7 drops their performance, with the new tyre model doesn't happen this, tyres can perform around 1 seconds slower but tyre feels more grippy and has less performance lost. Actually, it's hard to have a BoP with these cars, because C9 is much much faster at straights, but 787 handles slight better and has a lot of downforce and corner speed.

Hoping more (sprint or endurance ) Group C races, conglaturations for everyone

And for the love of God, can we stop with the stupid time of day settings. I come here to race, not to share a brokeback mountain scene with a few guys and a sunset.  .

It adds absolutely nothing, to be blinded by the sun, and to have shadows of fences flash through my windscreen. Yes, a nice atmosphere...whooptidoo 

We all love you too Jeffrey! 

I don't mind some different time of day settings, altough the low sun with these difficult beasts maybe made it a little too much? Heck in the first laps i hardly had time to take notice of my tires or lap times! Great looking and sounding cars these.
I believe the to be released 962 Porsche is from the same maker as the 787B and will get an update at the release of the 962!
Indeed the 917 looks brilliant too.

One of my Christmas pressies was a box set of the Group C racing from 83-90  not had a chance to start watching it all yet, but yes am a big fan so will definitely hope to run a series using these grp C cars in the near future. Will wait to see how the 962 fits in first. Of course we should also be getting that great looking grp 5 historic racing mod soon too 

What do you guys fancy for next week? Something easy or more challenging? I was thinking 70's F1 in the shape of the Lotus 72 v F312 at Brands hatch

I'm game. Will the 72D need a little ballast to even the performance?

Not sure whats going on, its like AC makes my pedals extra sensitive I guess its probably due to the pedal position app but still. I dont seem to suffer it in any other game to the same extent. I kinda get the brake pedal, with limited movement on it, it can spike a bit but then its also the accel will bounce when lifting off so end up ploughing on into the corners.

Did a few laps of R3E straight after and though the brake will still come on i didnt think the accel was as bad.  I dont think AC has the same level of options to try and tune it out.

have you run the actual calibration procedure under AC's controls screen? at the top right. Even if you ran it a while back, its worth running again in case any of the updates (windows, logitech or Kunos) have fubared it.

While maybe not one for next week have you tried the trucks yet?
Once you get used to the solid axle they're great fun, I imagine a decent grid would be hilarious at a track like Brands Indy 

[picnic]

Ok I'll bite, what trucks?

[FullMetalGasket]

Scroll down through this lot and you'll find Merc and a Volvo Formula truck models - As they aren't limited to 100mph I'll guess they're from a German/Euro series.
Lots and lots of fun

They're from the Brazilian series, imaginatively called Formula Truck: http://www.formulatruck.com.br/ The models come from the Reiza game, titled the same: http://gameformulatruck.com/en/

I will 'never' be organising a truck race! You guys are on your own with that one, lol   

[Jeffrey]

I would love a truck race  . Had some awesome races with the rF truck mod. Entertainment guaranteed.
