Assetto Corsa multiplayer is finally here...well has been here for a couple of weeks now. The issue lies within the fact that there are an abismal number of US players racing or hosting servers. This is where you and I come in.

With a goal of setting up an Assetto Corsa League if the circumstances are right, ie there is enough interest and people I'd like you to join me. There seems to be a lack of US based leagues. That isn't to say I don't want to race some "internationals" but thier Ping is just way too damn high.

From a previous post: "For the moment the league would consist of what are essentially timed lap competitions until Multiplayer is added.

If you have not looked into it yet or have not even heard of Assetto Corsa let me give you a brief overview. Assetto Corsa is a new racing sim that you can buy on steam as an "early access" game, essentially it's a beta. A very well done beta. Over the years I have tried IRacing, GTR2, Rfactor2, Rfactor and many more. AC, in my opinion, is the best overall sim racing physics I have had a chance to put my hands on. I realize this is all personal opinion and preference and I'll admit I have not tried IRacing for over a year in which time has had significant updates however the game is worth a try if you have not. Want to graduate from Forza or Gran Turismo? Give this is a try and let me know if you want to join an Oppo League.

Now go watch the video, buy it, and signup."

Let me know if you want to join and when would be a good time to race on a weekly basis. All tracks, cars, and the general format of racing is up for discussion. I'll see if we can get some people in on this and we can take it from there. No one is too fast or slow so it's time to give it a go.

I'd be up for some action on Saturday afternoons (eastern time).

I also started a new group blog for driving games, check it out.

Have you installed "snoopys" nordschliefe track mod yet? It's actually pretty good.

Not yet, but I will now. Nordschliefe is also confirmed to be an official track on launch. We could compare both then.

See I would play this but there are two problems:

1. My wheel doesn't work right now

2. I don't have money to buy the game or fix the wheel.

I've played the game though and love it, so I want it.

What wheel?

Yea laser scanned Nordy is going to be a great treat. The current track is a great way to tide myself over though. There are a TON of car and track mods being worked on. I just want them to hurry up and release the mod tools so people can start releasing stuff left and right.

Fanatec Porsche 911 GT2. I should have clarified, the wheel itself is fine, but the pedals broke (literally snapped). I'm going to get some nicer Fanatec pedals but still don't have the money

I got the gt3 csr elite combo back when they had it. I think it was 220 for everything, not bad when the pedals alone are 150. Those are what I'd suggest. They are pretty darn good for the price point.

You might see if you can get a used set on the inside sim racing forums for cheap.

If you are running a G27 please tell me your settings because I can never manage to hold a slide. It always ends up spinning.

Nope fanatec gt3. I can "catch" most slides now. I certainly can't drift in this game though. Some of the cars, especially once you put slicks on are really tough to catch. Then again race tires from what I have heard (not experienced) can be extremely unforgiving and just fall off a cliff once your over the limit.

I have tried drifting but its pretty much impossible for me at least since the car will seems to be sliding fine and then just spin. It also happens a lot with the race version of the E30.

I'm really not the best person to ask. I gave up trying to drift in this game for now. Not that big of a deal because I'd rather race although drifting is fun on occasion. Really I just want to drift the corners when I'm way ahead in a race, but that doesn't happen much anyways lol.

Assetto Corsa: Your spinning simulator.

I find it to be more realistic at the limit than anything else I have tried. Then again last time i tried Iracing was roughly two years ago or more and I know the tire model has changed quite a bit since then. Would you be down for any assetto corsa racing? Look up MemphisRaines or KyleButler on steam. I'm one of those two.

Look up MemphisRaines or KyleButler on steam. I'm one of those two. Add me so when you get setup we can have a go.
