Remember covid, when hikers all went up the mountain to watch qualifying, then the police shut the path on race day?

That was fun.

This is a track I never bothered to learn on the F1 games. Maybe I’ll be inspired after this Sunday race!

It’s worth it IMO - one of the easiest tracks. Tricky turn for me is always getting traction out of T3 (the first hair pin, not sure id it counts as T2 or T3 because of that left kink after T1). But I think the whole track flows pretty nicely.

That turn is one of the turns that I struggle with the most (over all F1 tracks) in the games. Somehow I always lose time there to the AI, and if I try to go faster I spin. The track is otherwise quite straightforward, so I guess it's not too bad to have one challenging corner

I've improved a lot with cornering on the sim so I think it's time for another go! See my comment above about different sim communities on Lemmy

Its quite fun to run on in even a simple sim rig, just wheel and pedals, which is what I have. I managed a 1.29.116 in a Lotus Exos 125, which I think these days would be a Formula 3 car.

Edit: I play Assetto Corsa

I've raced this a lot! It's a good time. I think the RSS formula 3 is a free download if you want a more modern feeling car!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I’ll give it a shot, thanks!

You playing on PC?

Edit: I'm so going for this lap time tonight haha!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yep, from Steam

Edit: Good luck mate! If you beat that, I’m getting in the RSS F3 mentioned above.

I have a standard sim atm. Sounds like I should dive back into the Red Bull Ring. To be fair I have improved so much in cornering lately I should give it another go. BTW be sure to check out [email protected] and [email protected] we need to pump the sim racing communities here!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I've linked simracing in the sidebar.

I managed a 1.18.357, so I'm guessing somewhere, we are not doing the same thing. Lotus Exos 125, Red Bull Ring, 20C, 0 wind, 20L of fuel.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

There is no way you put in 1.18 in this thing. Screenshots or it didn’t happen lol! I upped mine to 1.26, check it: https://imgur.com/a/JvKbboC
