Hello,
Please, take it gently without any offense but You are aware that there is a huge gap between a barely "maintream" simulation (vs professionnal simulation like used by a F1 team) and the real life.
For example, on Brand-Hatch with the Lotus Renault 98T Turbo, I beaten the hotlap time of Ayrton Senna... It's strictly impossible in real life and conditions.
1. I was much older than him and my whole capacities decreased yet,
2. I was driving barely relax in my flat, with my booty set properly in a gaming seat, driving with socks and not affected by G-Forces and bumps,
3. I never put a single foot on the Brands-Hatch track (and It's a regret because I Love it),
4. I just have a driving license,
5. I never participate on some real racing championships,
6. I will never able to push this car (wich I love so much !) to their limits,
7. I'm not even talented,
8. I will *ee and *hit on me at the first acceleration (if even I will able to start the car in the pits).
Last but not least and after have been reading a lot of clever thoughts about reality vs virtuality in racing simulation, They exist a huge list of parameters which make impossible to comparate the real and the virtual.
All we have and It's a lot and a tremendous luck, It's the capacity to get the possibility to live some illusions and get the thrill of the passion, driving cars virtually which were some of our dreams !
In my opinion, that is the most important thing.
I thank, each day, all the people involved in Assetto Corsa by passion, by talent, by kindness, by time without the intention to make some money for most of them, they are making our day a lot.
Cheers.
