Driver Swaps coming to Assetto Corsa Competizione Racing Club!

[Ricoow]

"Blurring the lines between real and virtual motorsports" - RD's motto and that is exactly what we are doing in the ACC Race Club. This Sunday 20th of October, the first ever ACC Race Club team event is coming.

Blancpain GT has a sprint-race format for five of its 10 race weekends, called 'Blancpain GT World Challenge Europe'. In this format, a race takes one hour during which teams are required to make a driver swap half-way through. We are going to test this format in our Racing Club, and you can be a part of it!

I want to join!
Understandable. What you need to do to become a part of this historic race is easy. Find yourself somebody who you want to share a car with, you can use the sign up thread for that or PM's, and then sign up for the race in the thread over here!

Can't make it? Don't worry. If this test event proves to be a success, there will be plenty more to come Just take a look at the ACC Race Club, or at the Race Calendar!

Hi,

A while ago I wrote a website that accepts online bookings for an ACC event, then generates all of the config files for the server automatically.

It supports driver swaps, custom liveries, just about everything that was around at the time.

I drifted away from it a bit as I drifted away from sim racing but feel free to use it if it saves you time.

I won't post the URL here but let me know if it would be of any help.

Yes, it is! Sorry and thanks.

Got an idea to the devs - how about during the pits, make the player press the F key to speed up the driver's swap - pressing it too fast will slow it down

Real it looks unless we’ve forgotten to enable bug splatter.

It's real, it's a photo of an Akka ASP car from Spa 24h in 2017.

still some room for improvements

Wow this has about 1% use case across their user base. Amazing addition.

 

[Blashko]

Kunos please, continue to support Assetto Corsa.

When comes RTX support? Or will that promise be broken?

When comes RTX support? Or will that promise be broken?

Aristotelis in August:

Our priority is to improve, optimize, and evolve all aspects of ACC. If after our long list of priorities the level of optimization of the title, and the maturity of the technology, permits a full blown implementation of RTX, we will gladly explore the possibility, but as of now there is no reason to steal development resources and time for a very low frame rate implementation.

Basically, how I would translate it - if you were hoping for RTX in ACC, don't hold your breath, they obviously don't consider this originally advertised feature of the game important.

Shame on Kunos

It's too immature a technology to be even remotely bothered about now. Unless a developer has a few million dollars lying around and can afford to waste their time, they shouldn't be bothered with RTX right now. You obviously know that Kunos don't have that luxury.

Nvidia jumped on that hype train before someone else did, but it was way too soon. I'm sorry that you fell for the hype.

Then it should not be announced in the first place...

Don't blame the user, if the developer started the hype.

RTX, also avaiable in Assetto Corsa Competiziano...


i don't care about RTX at all, but don't you dare, to make it the customers fault, to expect something, that was announced to be expected.^^ this backfires hard....
