As several other group members commented, the simulation in Assetto (when well executed/adapted) is quite fun, sometimes almost real.
In this section of my "Mille Miglie 1955", as an example, in this group of cars, there were 3 accidents (almost real...), all close to the car I was driving, in this case (Ferrari 750 Monza), as you can see (screenshot of the video's presentation screen) and later in the camera shots (cockpit + TVCam).
In the case of the Lancia D24 (Ascari), it was behind me when it crashed in the narrowing of the track.
The Jaguar (Tony Rolt) in the final part of the section, on a curved bridge and uphill, was fighting for position with me when it scraped the guardrail and then came into the track destroying the front axle.
Finally, in an attempt to lower my lap time a bit more, I started to push harder, when on the last corner, my car lost traction and I went into the guardrail. Through the cockpit camera, I didn't get an exact idea at the moment (I don't know if Assetto itself has the same destructibility aspect as other simulators), the car flew and fell off the embankment (I even thought about going back), but it would be strange (after the terrible accident), so I abandoned it.
Watching the TV camera replay (when the car in front of me crossed the finish line), I was able to visualize what the accident was like (it even looked like the one in the movie 24 Hours of Le Mans (Steve McQueen) where a Ferrari flies over the safety barriers on the Indianapolis corner, crashes (and explodes).
If anyone knows if there is anything to change (more realistically the car itself in accidents), I would like to know. And last night, I did the "time balance" of the last two segments.
Fortunately, even with health problems, I can still do the mathematical calculations practically without a calculator (even if the sums are in the sexagesimal system (converting minutes to seconds) and tenths of a second to seconds....It may contain errors, but it also happened back then.
Now it's a matter of analyzing which track or (rally section) will be best to represent the route (L'Aquila to Rome) which is half of the simulation, since from what I had researched, it was downhill ( (with very dangerous curves).
For now, out of the 107 cars (participants), 22 are already out.
