    Coming off of an unsuccessful Spa24 in iRacing i had a good time trying to manhandle this car. I haven’t touched AC in years so the physics took a bit to get used to again. Any notes for the car itself has already been said in here and I agree in most of it. Overall I found the car to be quite chuckable, loading it up for Raidillon, tapping the brakes to help it turn in and then pinning it to get it within the limits. Very fun when I figured out how it handled. It did definitely not like curbs however, had to unlearn some GT3 lines due to that.

    I left at least a second on the table as far as I can tell. Alas, I don’t have that much time to dedicate to this.

    Anyway, have a bunch of poor camera choices. https://streamable.com/iqid4q

      you aren’t kidding. There are at least two corners there where the car never appears and then it cuts to some other angle lol

        I was figuring out the hotkeys for the cameras etc. And I couldn’t be bothered to re-do the recording.

          ah, I apologize, I thought that was some sort of camera automation. I totally understand and didn’t mean to make fun of you.

            No need to apologize. I was being lazy about it and rerecording it would be easy. The deal with AC cams is that with a hotkey I can switch between camera sets. Which is how I switched between the onboards, chase cam and trackside cams. I happened to land on the static cams without realizing it for a moment, and at a time where the car was outside of the view but before triggering the next angle.

      Great lap. If you have the time, I’d love to see a post telling us about your Spa24 preparation and how the race went!
