In this world of always online, you're actually being penalised by Sony and PD. They've applied a hidden BoP to people like you who don't play so often. I'm sorry but we all agreed to the terms and conditions when first starting the game
Missed opportunity for "Xiaomi the money!".
That's a very good step to take, good job on that, and you will probably be faster in the long run without the assist, (that doesnt mean you cant get realy fast with ) and indeed is kind of car depending.
Yes, always have confidence and let the assists go for a while. Once you feel comfortable with the car and you are able to get better times, then you won't need the assists anymore and you can set your TC level to 0. Helps to improve your exit speed through advanced corners and hairpins. You'll get the hang of it. Maybe a couple years from now, you'll be as fast as some of the professionals and aliens. Good steps taken, like GomarioJSP said.
I agree with all of this, especially the AT part, it’s doable but you’ll need to run CSA or have a+ levels of controller fidelity or the patience of a saint hitting the throttle.
So... about that...
This is what I found as an explanation :
True indeed but Famine rightly mentioned it's is a 2.9 beeing 2.855 so I am again a bit confused 🤣🤣 But....
Ferrari only called it the GTO. "288" was a nickname given by others to distinguish it from the 250 GTO, but why - given that it's a 2.9 - I don't know; a general lack of maths ability maybe?
Thanks for this info, very interesting!, 🙏Ferrari only called it the GTO. "288" was a nickname given by others to distinguish it from the 250 GTO, but why - given that it's a 2.9 - I don't know; a general lack of maths ability maybe?
Edit: As demonstrated by your LLM! 2855cc is obviously closer to 2.9 - 45cc from 2.9 and 55cc from 2.8 - so that LLM cannot math!
Then again, it was loosely based on the 308, which was officially called that but also had a 2.9 (2927cc)...
The 2855cc was more or less a debored version of the 308's engine (developed alongside the Lancia LC2; same 308 unit, destroked), with turbos. Under the turbocharging equivalency formula that made it 3997cc, just under the four-litre limit for Group B.
Even the GTO name was itself amusing as it wasn't actually intended as a homologation model. Originally the car was a "skunkworks" project, inspired by Group B (hence the engine sizing) and basically to revive Ferrari's more sporting image after a few more... comfy cars, but not specifically for it. Enzo Ferrari didn't directly control the road car division - he'd sold it to FIAT, but was still closely, if decreasingly involved - so this kind of road-homologation wasn't entirely possible.
That said it ended up being made in sufficient numbers (271+1) that it could have been, Enzo picked every customer except arguably the last one (who picked himself, effectively) and the five (of 20, for Evo model homologation) Evoluzione was the start of an attempt for Group B circuit racing (most people think Group B is rally, but they were eligible for WSC as well; it wasn't a very well attended category) before the whole thing fell apart.
