graham59 Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 Certainly cheaper than racing (and crashing) your very expensive REAL car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graham59 Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 Just going back to the car racing: I always find it frustrating seeing the poor resultant (graphics) quality when uploading and posting my YouTube vids. Just not half as good as on my Xbox / TV. Anyway, here's one that does actually reproduce what I see on my TV, when playing... and using a track that I have driven 'virtually' hundreds of times also.

Comments ? That is awesome! What program is that? One of my regrets in life is not taking my 2007 Corvette out on Nurburgring when I was living one hour away in Bonn. Frankly, I was chicken! It had standard suspension which was too soft and bouncy to go very fast on the ring. Many crashes you see there are cars that just don't have what is needed and the driver loses control. And your insurance is void out there and I couldn't afford a 40k loss if I wrecked it. However, I did zoom around all the beautifully maintained curvy country roads in that area for 3+ years. I could press it hard and have a lot of fun without reaching super high speeds. Did you see Ford vs. Ferrari? Good movie! I just watched it a few days ago. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham59 Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) It's 'Assetto Corsa'...available for consoles and PC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assetto_Corsa (I've yet to see that movie... but will look out for it...cheers. ).

GeoffH Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 Car game graphics have come a long way over the years :) I would love to drive Nurburgring but I doubt it’s going to happen now. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham59 Posted May 10, 2020 Posted May 10, 2020 My best (full) Nurburgring time is 6 min 15 secs, in a full works Gumpert Apollo, in 'Need For Speed Shift Unlimited'. You need to 'tune' settings for engine , suspension, tyres, downforce wings, etc yourself (or use settings recommended by others) to get the best out of the vehicles. The settings make a huge difference to overall performance and 'driverbility'.... especially when competing online, where the rest of the field will probably just leave you for dead, if you leave things standard. Different settings for each track too, of course. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Peterson Posted May 10, 2020 Posted May 10, 2020 I am beginning to wonder who is getting more fun out of this OMW or his lovely Daughter? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get to ride a Kawaski 750 around the Isle of Mann TT track at over 200kph in places (not that fast by todays standards I know)... so it's not all bad. (Yes I know I'm quoting myself... but at least I'm not arguing with myself) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
