AC Special Event | Merrry Xmas Fun Ride With A Massive Grid Of Friends

[Bram Hengeveld]

We will be racing / riding / driving / crusing the little Ligier around the Valencia karting track with 36 online simracing and RaceDepartment friends. No damage, no competition, just a big laughter on Discord with your mates.

This sounds like fun Brrram!

 

[Neilski]

I thought it was a golf cart for a moment!

I thought it was a golf cart for a moment!

I think that's the version without gears, also within the download. Top 69km/h! It will be great to have a race on the Nordschleife or Fonteny with that one !

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

We are using the most "powerful" version. Actually I had the Nordschleife in mind @HF2000 haha

 

[Bryce Waard]

I just ran a couple laps and you are correct, no gears! What a riot this is going to be!

Incorrect, it has a lot of gears Make sure you are running the S1 version and not the base vehicle

 

[Bryce Waard]

Ooooh, ok...I need to get look at that. I like the base version a lot haha

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

You must have been distracted by the baguette

 

[Jimlaad43]

That's not a baguette, it's my secret weapon for if anyone tries to overtake me

 

[G-Slev]

Why do I get the feeling that turn 1 is not going to end well.....

 

[G-Slev]

Incorrect, it has a lot of gears Make sure you are running the S1 version and not the base vehicle

It actually has a CVT - the same as that Williams FW15 test mule thing. It's not quite as quick as that, but speed is a relative thing.

 

[HF2000]

Okay, it's sad. I have no life apparently but I've done Fonteny with the slowest Ligier. Lap time 25.33. But it gave me the opportunity to see for the first time some beautiful details on this great map of @Fat-Alfie . What a magnificent piece of work !

 

[Fat-Alfie]

Could I interest you in an early alpha version of my 62.4km Circuito Stradale del Mugello? Same car? (it's a 31min lap in the Alfa 33 Stradale)

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

I would love that @Fat-Alfie as you know there is a real interest in such long tracks. If we can help you test it on the SGP platform you would make a lot of people happy, me included!

Well my laptime of Fonteny with the Alfa was 10.15 so it's about 3 times longer. For the Ligier that will be then approximately 1hour 17minutes depending on the height differences (the Ligier looses a lot of speed when climbing) .

But if you're serious about trying your 62,4km long track: I would gladly do that. I love long tracks.

Timing will be done with a 2021 calendar probably

This is going to be fun. I first tried the basic version. That's about my level. With some practice I also get to the level of the fast version.
