Have bought Asseta Corsa some time ago but find it difficult to have a nice clean race. Grid came out end of last year and i am currently running that and find it very nice for lack of a better word. Currently have about 24m credits on this game so obviously playing it a lot. Also find the Dirt games very nice (that word again) Have played Cars 2 for a while at the beginning of the Lockdown but stopped my subs on it as it is also nice to play but can become slightly unrealistic. Do like the wet weather races with the puddles affecting the cars as you drive through them though. Miss that on Grid for example. Any one know when the follow up of Forza 7 will be coming out as i do not like the Forza street racing games?

Asseto is all about realism, car setup and race conditions. once you get a clean fast lap its becomes like a drug.

I too have an Xbox One S, looking into getting into the sim racing field and possibly take my chances at F1 esports. any suggestions on what setup I should be looking at or what setups do you guys have.

I have been playing Assetto a lot and have been enjoying it. Recently i have added a 55 inch smart tv and have also gone back to playing Grid which i also enjoy a lot as one's times get loaded on the internet and on some tracks with certain cars i have done quite well. Only problem is they don't have a lot of tracks as i would like to see Bathurst for example on there as well. I find that with the smart tv the picture quality is very good and as i have made myself a racing seat out of an old E36 drivers seat it is nice to have this big screen1,8m away in front of you . Feels like you are in a real race car (Ok, will never feel like that without a real simulator setup probably costing R100k or more). The detail on Grid is not the same as Forza 7 as i think that together with GT5 (not available on XBox One), Forza 7 must be the most graphic detail wise. I like track racing so i would suggest you get yourself Forza 7, Grid and Assetto Corsa for a start. I also enjoy the Dirt off road rally races. The steering wheel setup i use is a Logitech G920 which i find is good quality and long lasting. I have had some problems recently with the accelerator not giving 100% but this happens only after playing many many hours (for example, i think i have 44milion credits on Grid). What i did was to open the pedal box and found that the setup of the accelerator on the potentiometer is so that one can move the accelerator ratchet so that it opens the potentiometer one teeth more, which helps for a while. I have gotten myself a new potentiometer from AC/DC for about R40 which i will try when i again find that the accelerator pedal is not responding 100%.

I still believe ACC is the best for circuit racing currently.

Have a watch of the cinematic highlights from a League Race I partook in last month. All drivers are real people, no AI here.

Interesting discussion, having been a fan of Forza Motorsport since the early days, I still enjoy the driving dynamics. It's not too serious and certainly a great deal of fun, however, the game interface with Forza 7 is somewhat unappealing.

I've not yet experienced AC, perhaps a little too serious for a player like me.
