Hopefully an old school F1 car on a modern classic track is a little more popular haha!
Found a few things out about this car through driving it, really came to enjoy it by the end of my session. There’s still time on the board, optimal is a second faster and I know there’s a few places I’m losing a disproportionate amount of time
Braking - This one really enforced straight line braking on me. Damn near impossible to lock up in a straight line, but the second there’s steering input it just boats around or locks. I was riding 90%+ brake pressure through most braking up until the last quarter where I could bleed off pretty quickly. Good to get some practice in on the fundamentals and I had the hang of it pretty well.
Shifting - Without my clutch setup (It’s sitting behind me on a shelf) it’s a little harder to get shifting down on this car. I found that blipping on downshifts pretty aggressively worked quite well, and a slight lift on upshifts kept it from bouncing off the limiter with no loss in speed.
Eau Rouge/Raddion - Still can’t get this one quite right, but I’m getting there. I’m lifting pretty early and getting back in throttle about halfway up and it’s kept me from going over track limits
Assetto Corsa - I haven’t driven this sim that much in years, not since I was on a T300RS, now with a DD it’s a huge contrast. The FFB feels great and I can really feel the behavior of the car. Very contrasting to the satanized output of iRacing that I’ve gotten used to over the last year and a half.
Overall a really enjoyable car to drive and I’m probably not done putting in laps. I was thinking about suggesting this car at mugello or another Italian circuit.
