Assetto Corsa Endurance Race

Most excellent race last night! Huge thanks to @SlinX for organizing and running a really professional event. :+1::+1:

Was a lot of fun all round. Tough to hold on for the full three hours, but very rewarding to be able to finish the race, even if it was 7 laps behind.

Congrats to @Slinx for the win and @DieGrootHammer for the excellent driving with your FFB issues and disconnect. And to everyone else that entered, whether finished or not.

Sorry to all those I hampered, hindered and held up, and huge apologies to anyone I accidentally made contact with. I’m slow and okay when I’m alone on the circuit, but slow and kak when others are around. It’s not malice, it’s mistakes.

Let’s do it again. But yeah, just not for a little while. :grinning:

I feel like you guys are conspiring to let me win :smile:
According to simresults, out of the top 20 best laps, I only came in at 16th and 20th

Kudos to @DieGrootHammer for the wheel fix during his pitstop and still somehow ending 2nd.

Thanks guys, that was a lot of fun! 3 hours is a long race, but the banter definitely kept it entertaining :laughing:

Thanks for organising @SlinX

I now finally understand why Latifi shows up every weekend (besides the paycheck). Even from last place, it was a huge amount of fun.
Next time I’ll remember to

  1. bring sunglasses
  2. Get @DieGrootHammer’s better half to be better at sabotage
  3. Have a mute button handy for when the singing starts

I hope I didn’t hold too many people up too badly - in general I’m not great at controlling a tail happy car like the Corvette, and it’s so much harder when there’s a faster car right behind you! :smiley:

Thanks so much guys, that was pretty damn fun and so tough on the everything to keep going.
Glad I could reconnect and hold my position when my game crashed.

Also, my consistency is higher than @oltman :laughing:
In fact, I’m 6th in terms of consistency, slow, but constitent, I’m getting there, now to work on the speed.

Thanks for the race guys, and thanks for hosting and organizing it @SlinX. That was a really enjoyable race despite the FFB issues I had. It looks like AC just doesn’t like Logitech wheels as I’m getting more and more issues with the wheel and the game. I would highly suggest we look at ACC or other games for future events.

Not surprising… My consistency really let me down last night. Glad I can be a benchmark for you, although I think you need to set yourself a higher bar!!! :joy: :rofl:

Lol one step at a time, first I want to be able to keep up with you, then move from there. Except, it does not help when you keep going off behind me at T3.

THAT TURN!!! AAARGH!

Also, I think we should petition a special badge from @SIGSTART for those who finished the race! This was an epic effort! In fact, it was a Most Epic effort!

T3 was the flat out one right?

T3 was the slow hairpin right… It seems after every great T1 my tyres were too hot to make it around T3 without spinning.

Either we’re horribly slow, or there are some simulation inaccuracies.
The CR7 posted a qualifying time of 1:42.583 lol

It was a nice race to watch. I watched a bit in the beginning and then again a bit later.

Makes me want to join in the future.

Bah, I see you guys got nice achievements for 100km in a single session. But I don’t get it due to my crash :frowning:

Bah, that’s only like 3 laps of Nordschleife

Ah ok, I hadn’t counted the kink that is T2. Yeah T3 was not fun

I did not get that either… Does that mean my pit stops were too close together?

EDIT: I see I did not even get the 50km achievement yet…

Since the first one was such a success… anyone up for 3h Endurance round 2 before the end of the year? There’s some interest so I’m just putting a feeler out for Sunday 20 December.
If people are busy (understandably), and we don’t get at least around 15 drivers, we will rather have it in January.

The track will most likely be Sebring and the car, either the same Corvette or something similar.

  • On for Sunday, 20 December
  • Lets rather have it in Jan
