I really thought I'd hate the L49 but it's really the rewarding car of restraint!

If they added that and it helps people with less frame rate then that's a great thing!

I guess it's a bit early for GMG to show Assetto for pre-sale.

I'm more interested to try the Skippy with the NTM than the Lotus 49.

The Lotus 49 has been just about as hard to develop and release as it is to drive. Just as it is a great tool (albeit a sharp one) for teaching good smooth driving habits, it has been a good tool for teaching us about flaws in our simulation. Because it is lightweight, with no downforce, and lots of power, it has tested the tires more than almost any car we’ve developed. Its development has led to a lot of improvements over the past eight months in the tire model, some of which you have already experienced. There are more improvements on the way. For now, even though the newer tire code isn’t quite finished yet, we have decided it’s far enough along to let you try couple of cars with it: the Lotus 49, and the Skip Barber Formula Car. These will both be available in the new build which should be out next week.

There are some known issues—the tires don’t get warm enough, and the skidding and smoke are unfinished, among other things—but we have been enjoying driving these tires, and we hope you will too. They are a work in progress, though, and should improve even more as we finish them up.

One last note: the Lotus 49 is a beast. You will have to relearn the meaning of smooth control inputs, but if you take the time to do that, it is also a blast.

Andy, he was insulting your divine friends?

he just wasn't funny!

I agree that I used to enjoy watching him in the STCC. However, he wasn't just speaking his mind, he should have had an infraction way before. Shame it was left to Scawen to do it in the end

About time...

It makes sense though if you put 2 and 2 together and get 9 that the laser scanned version is owned by an Italian and AC is Italian...

Let me dream

Couldn't agree more. The first sim to make a laser scanned ring - woohoo....

No, because if I was bored of life I'd have killed myself by now.

And as I'm able to annoy you halfwits who pay for iExtort, I clearly haven't.

you don't annoy me. I find it amusing that someone that is obviously talented at what they do in the business World, finds they have to belittle so many people that choose something you dislike as a hobby. You just seem to prefer to look stupid so people don't take you seriously, but hey, your choice!

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

I find it hard to believe that anyone in iRacing isn't a half-wit. After all, they are paying gross sums of money for an arcade game, then proceed to call it a sim.

are you bored of life?

I can't wait. Should be awesome

Quote from menantoll :

Nobody is saying you can't say bad things in this topic about iRacing.

The fact that anyone can have a little rant and not get jumped on by a bunch of fan boys is one of the great things about this particular thread.

You, however, are taking it to the extreme and trying to disrupt every conversation with the same old lines we've read from you many times before.

You are not happy, we get it. Now can you please just have a little respect for everyone else and drop it?

well said!

yeah, will be giving it a go if I have time.

Wish I could have better luck in the truck though

We had a nice chat on PM afterwards Ray. He agreed it was a silly move to do after he'd cooled down and I had.

I've raced with him loads in the past and it wasn't his usual type of move, that's why I didn't think he'd do something like that

Sad you had your crash. You were doing great. Took me half the race to even catch you

I've managed a 15.8. I knocked almost a second off my lap time by staying in 2nd for the S's from turn 2 to 4.

Quote from Bose321 :

Played it once. Didn't like it. Now lets go back on topic?

I'm only imagining how great AC will be at Spa. If they get the physics right on those cars, like they did with the Lotus, it can be a load of fun.

They will get the physics right. I found the physics on the GTR mod power and glory to be excellent on almost all of the cars.

I want AC to announce laser scanned Nordschleife!

That's great news for AC.

Any promo codes for re-subscribing members?

they tend to be a couple of times a year like Black Friday. I'll have a look.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Hamilton doesn't HAVE emotions.

Watch the BBC piece on Hamilton/Moss. He has emotion!

Quote from CrAZySkyPimp :

Ty Andy, I bet we will see a whole different Radicals for the Black cup, and interesting with Redline joining the fun! Maybe if we close our eyes and wish hard enough, we will have swaps by the time that starts

WoW, isn't it a bit sub standard for the supposed most successful virtual racing team?

None of us would probably be talking about iRacing if updates on LFS had carried on. I know I wouldn't have.

Still, looking forward to the RuF!

While here also, hats off to the INEX team for dominating the STC... brilliant team effort.

great pic!

Congrats on getting to the 24 stage and good luck with that. Hope you enjoy the experience and have fun...

it's a shame in this video Shaun has got involved agreeing..... If it was April 1st, I could understand the latest video
