After the Lotus series.....
By: guybo Date: October 25, 2015, 1:33 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
It's a few months away but it's good to discuss it now. What do
we race after the Lotus series?
-AC or another sim?
-Tracks
-format?
-Cars
-modern?
-historic?
-single make or multi-car (single class)?
I like this format, I'd like to move on to pCars if everyone is
on board, otherwise I'll stick with AC. There are some good
modded tracks coming out, we have a lot to pick from. I want to
use my clutch and shifter! Let's pick a car that does not have
flappy paddles or sequential, let's go back in time a few years.

Well for me the choice is only between AC of rF2. I dont own
PCars and have no intention of purchasing it. That's not to say
that the group can't move to PCars, I simply won't be making the
move. I also think we could probably run multiple sims anyways.
As far as the next car used; I have been having fun with the Eve
and Spark in rF2 on Durge's server. The car is a handful but not
overly difficult to drive. Maybe we take a classic series from
that era and pick out 5 tracks run in their real life series,
recreate the series in mini. It could probably be done in either
rF2 or AC.

I like that idea, but in AC. We'd have to find an appropriate
car for it. But I did like the Spark and Eve in rF2

I will also stick to AC and rf2. Is there any good historic
content to AC? Don't remember too many historic tracks or cars.
I would assume historic stuff is more popular among rf2 players
than with AC players.

The Lotus Type 49 is the classic open wheeler in AC that is
similar to the Eve and Spark in rF2.
HTML http://www.assettocorsa.net/classic-team-lotus-type-49/
The 1967 Gran Prix season had 11 races on 11 different tracks.
They are in order:
Kyalami
Monaco
Zandvoort
Spa-Francorchamps
Le Mans (Bugatti Circuit)
Nurburgring
Mosport Park
Monza
Watkins Glen
Magdelena Mixhuca
We can pick the top 4-5 tracks to use for the series. If
possible the classic tracks would be fantastic. I only know of
the classic 1966 Monza track as stock in AC so the rest of the
classic version tracks would have to be modded material.
Otherwise we can use the modern equivalents in AC.
I looked over at Race department and found a 1988 version of
Monaco. It has not been tested yet but has been getting good
reviews.

The Lotus 49 is a LOT of car to start off with for open
wheelers! I don't know if a full 11 races would work, but we
could race the ones we could find and mix in the modern
equivalents like Chad said
-Some version of Monaco
-Zandy modern
-Spa modern or an historic if they have it
-Nurbs modern
-Monza 66
-The Glen
One major thing I like in AC over rF2 is that they force you to
use the h-shifter and there's a penalty if you use flappy
paddles. One prob with rF2 is that there's a penalty for a
h-shifter (the h-shifter....) so usually people use paddles
because there is only the advantage of perfect quick shifts
every time and NO downside at all. Plus in rF2 the clutch is a
joke, in AC you have to use it.
I like where this is going! Finally a car that takes skill to
operate, more than just racing lines and race craft.

Well on Durges server he does not allow ANY assists. If you
don't heel toe, or at least lift properly you will spin. It made
for a very interesting race at Bathurst. I suspect that the same
will be true in AC. It should be a good series to get people to
work on their clutch work.

The Lotus 49 is a nice car. With all aids turned off for realism
IMO.
Not sure if a considerably more difficult car like that is good
for 40 min of (close) racing.
Only one way to find out I guess..
TBH I never even tried out every car in AC yet.
Whatever it's going to be I hope it's not a car that gives a
(huge) penalty to drivers that have no clutch pedal. (DFGT here)
Like the Nissan GT3 for instance. Participating in qualifying
with that car is almost pointless when 100% certain I wont be in
the top 6 first corner.
Or worse when on a longer straight.
Perhaps we could experiment a little with different combinations
at certain times?
I bought P-cars yesterday, for less than half the steam price.
Fun game. But no AC or rF2 beater to me.
Nor were the graphics much better than AC as I had read.
Different, not (obviously) better looking as I expected, but
the tarmac perhaps, and some more variety with spectators and
such.
(Both games run with all on max but shadows and reflex update.
Max SMAA instead of FXAA)
Still I would love to race the Karts in P-cars with some of you
one day

I hate heel-and-toe so not sure what to think. I have tried it
in the past but it has always ended for not having enough energy
or time to learn it. So for that reason, I'm not sure if I would
participate in your hardcore season.

What do you guys think of this?
12 races in your 2016 career.
-First 4 are with the Mak-Corp IFS3
HTML http://mak-corp.com.au/index.php/component/k2/item/65-ifs3-08-v0-62-for-ac
-Progress to the next 4 races with the Lotus Exos
HTML http://www.assettocorsa.net/lotus-exos-t125/
the 4th race would be with the S1 upgrade
-Then finish your career with 4 races in the retro Lotus 49.
Each car would be a mini-season and would have a champ. There
would be a champ overall also (like we did the points series
last year)
