I’ve been a long-time Vettel fan, ever since his Formula BMW days and his subsequent race replacing Robert Kubica at BMW Sauber. I’ve followed him all the way through the Toro Rosso days to Red Bull and celebrated his four WDC’s as if they were Schumacher’s. His move to Ferrari even made me cheer for the reds again for the...

Over the year 2020 (with the exception of January and February), I’ve written posts about the player statistics of Assetto Corsa Competizione (ACC). Using data publically available from both steamdb and steamcharts, I’ve created my own charts and talked about major developments and probably causes. Now that it’s 2021, it is time to look back and reflect upon these statistics, and derive what...
Explaining an often misunderstood system. One of the most heard complaints on Assetto Corsa Competizione’s forum or subreddit is about the game’s SA, or Safety, -rating. “Is the SA-rating bugged?” or “It is currently too hard to gain SA-rating” are near weekly threads. The question, in 99% of the cases anyway, always boils down to a core misunderstanding of the...
You’ve probably had this happen at least once: you did everything right at the start, yet the person behind you is already ahead after not even a hundred meters into the race. There’s two options: he’s cheating (highly unlikely), or your starts aren’t as good as you think they are. I personally thought that ACC’s starting procedure was clear as...

In my preferred community (MrGit’s discord), there is a common complaint when it comes to multiplayer racing. This complaint is not unique to ACC. It was prevalent in Assetto Corsa and probably in games such as rFactor and Raceroom as well. If you think about it, is a logical consequence of having dedicated servers. What is this problem you ask?...
Yesterday, I announced the Ginetta Cup, organized by our start-up community ‘The Privateer’s Pitbox‘. In it, four screenshots of a uniquely liveried Ginetta were featured. That livery was custom made by yours truly as a promo for the Cup. The idea was never to only use it for promotional ends. No. I build this livery with the intention to make...

The BMW Z4 M GT3/GTE was announced in 2010 and started racing in a wide range of categories before being replaced by the M6 GT3 in 2016. In 2020, Hot Wheels (re)released a tribute to this car (#172/250, Nightburnerz 7/10) which arrived on my doormat via Aliexpress a week ago. This sunday, I found the time to ‘enhance’ the quite...

Yesterday evening was the inaugural event for The Privateer’s Pitbox. A total of 12 people registered to participate, which was more than enough to create a fun evening with some semi-serious racing going on. I regard it as a successfull launch, hence we are organizing a second event on the 14th featuring a slightly revised setup. More on that later,...
