Welcome to Round 3 of the Hot Lap Challenge
Sim: Assetto Corsa
Track: Hungaroring
Car: Lotus Exos 125
Weather: Clear
Track: Optimum
Temperature: 20.0C
Wind: 0k/m
If you do not have Assetto Corsa, please submit your times with the sim you are using, replicating the track conditions as closely as possible.
Please use the car’s default setup. You may only adjust fuel levels, tyres, TC, ABS, and Brake Bias.
You have until 13/08/2023 23:59 to submit your best lap. Please only submit times in a top level comment. If you have already submitted a lap and you improve, please edit your top level comment.
Please include a screenshot of your lap time for verification.
Rain
We were going to make this a wet weather challenge, but wet weather requires paid mods. Please let us know if you’re happy for that. We will write up a guide for this if we have a wet challenge.

This one proved more popular! SimpleDev took the W with an outstanding lap.

Ok, Follow up to my last question, is anyone else getting a horrible bumping/skipping though 1-2-3? My wheel is trying to rip my hands off to the point it’s almost undriveable. So far a 1:36.277, but maybe that’ll improve when I get the physics sorted out
Yeah I noticed it was quite skippy feeing in a few areas as well, almost like the car is way too stiff or something.
Manageable but interesting to drive around for sure!
It feels almost like the contact patch is skipping over the track surface. I know the track isn’t this bumpy since the iRacing version is super smooth through those corners.
I just did a few more laps and you’re exactly correct, the tire is indeed skipping (if it’s not entirely off the ground) going around multiple corners due to the overall stiffness.
Makes for a tricky car to drive!
That explains my wheelbase trying to rip my arms off
I might not get a better lap in because of it
No, not at all. Feels very flat and smooth to me.
Definitely something going on then. I installed through content manager and everything seems to be pretty low detail. Wonder if that’s the issue. The screenshots look significantly better than the track installed
It’s just not a quality track. They didn’t include a separate physics mesh that are usually far higher resolution than the track you see. You feel each individual polygon in some places like the braking zone after the bridge.
I thought it looked pretty basic in areas, but then I’m playing in VR on a Rift CV1 and so everything looks pretty low detail.
I do find that a lot of AC screenshots look significantly better than what I’m playing. Goodness knows what some people have installed.
