Car: Lotus Exos 125

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.

    Wasn’t having too much fun with this one. The track lacked a smooth physics mesh so the distinct polygons in the track started affecting the physics. Had the challenge been with an F3 or GT3 car I would do it in ACC or iRacing instead.

      Yeah I’ve barely played AC so I’m not experienced with mods too much but something about this one I could never get comfortable with.

      Would make sense it’s just an individual mod thing.

      Would you mind testing Suzuka to see if you have the same issue? I’d hope not, but if its bad, I’d like to know before we start the next challenge.

        It ought to have a physics mesh since they stole the whole track from ACC and converted it. I’ll opt to use another sim with a similar car if able instead of using that mod.

        I’ll take a look tonight too. We can probably have users submit a link to the mod and have one of us test it out with a set car each week.

        Edit: Track is fine

        I drove it and seemed perfectly fine to me tbh.
