Assetto Corsa - Singer R9 - Daytona Road Course

Welcome everybody to the ninth round of the unofficial Grassroots Motorsports Sim Racing League. We are racing the Singer Porsches, the mid-level version of the car. I believe these are about 395 horsepower-ish. For those that don't know Singers, they are a Porsche 911 turned up to 11. Today's race is going to be at the Daytona International Speedway. We're going to be running the road course, the same course that the Daytona 24 hours race is run on. Today's track temperature will be approximately 85 degrees. We have a very tight field going into this race. Myself, Pro Darwin, and Rodan are all within about 15 points of each other in the race to the championship. And then there is a large gaggle of cars starting with air-cooled and running all the way back to Mike. All of them are covered by seven points total. The point system we're using is that of the Super GT series in Japan, which we take the number of series points you have accrued and we multiply it by two and we put that many kilograms of weight into the car. This track can be particularly tricky. There are extremely high speed sections for most of the track, but you have to brake really, really hard coming into the bus stop at the back part of the track, and then again coming into turn one. Get it right and you can pick up a tremendous amount of time, but get it wrong and at best you just lose some time and in many cases you are off into the weeds. As I mentioned previously, we are running Singer Porsches based on the Porsche 911. The handling of these cars I think at best could be called challenging. They do not like to have the chassis upset. Generally speaking, braking will cause you to crash, particularly if you're trying to turn. Unlike most other cars, if you're in trouble you're probably better off putting in power, so that can lead to some very exciting racing. The racing format is a 10-minute qualifying followed by two 15-minute races. The second race has a reverse grid based upon the finishing order of the first race. This can lead to some very close and exciting racing as cars try to carve their way back up through the field. We've had some tremendous finishes in this format, particularly in the second race. So without further ado, let's get on with the show. At least he's not talking about pings. He is talking about pings. You can talk about my pings yeah here you want to bump you want to bump you want to bump you want to bump this is late i'll go you go forward my bad mike oh feel free to drive erratically brake check the person behind you come on that's right you know you want to yes you do come on come on come on give me a nudge give me a nudge inside or outside sauce dude that worked that fucking we definitely picked up some speed definitely a little bit of a grab here game boy and hold still here i don't know what's going on what are dean and sauce doing uh probably stupid stupid stuff but it's fun uh let's be close i'll leave some room there yeah i kind of ran out at the end but that's okay wasn't me that may have forced that issue a little bit
