ACC wallpapers part 2: Five more before and after edits!
Since people liked my ACC wallpapers, I felt motivated to keep making them. The past couple of days I made five more wallpaper-worthy photoshops. Below you can find the ‘before’ and ‘after’ picture to each of these five edits. I feel like I am really hitting a style that I (personally) like.

Video – Short Clip: Smoothest pit-entry ever?
Sunday was a 90 minute ‘biggrid’ event (it turned out to be medium-ish grid). Qualifying fifth, I had decent pace. I took one position mid-way my first stint while coasting in fuel map 2. By the half-way mark, I had a couple of laps left on fuel but I decided to enter the pits to make sure I wasn’t undercut by Edoardo Radis who was right on my tail. What happened after is best described by watching the video. I wasn’t even mad at this pit-entry. I was actually quite...
ACC wallpapers: Before and after edits!
The past couple of days I enjoyed some success by editing screenshots I made in Assetto Corsa Competizione (ACC) with photo-editing software. I have made four larger (i.e. more than just rebalancing colors) edits so far which I’m happy enough to share. I thought it’d be nice to use my blog to post the before and after shots of my edits, so you can see the work I put in!

ACC Playercount Round-up: April 2020
April 2020 was another storming month for ACC, which saw another huge growth spurt in it’s player numbers. In this article I will follow up to last month’s round-up which was generally well received by you. As was said last month, I’m using data from both steamdb and steamcharts and implement them into my own spreadsheets, making my own easy-to-read graphs. April 2020 April’s trendline starts exactly where we left off with March, at approximately 2,500 peak concurrent players. While the contained trend is slightly less steep than last month’s...
ACC Screenshots: Godzilla does Suzuka
I had some fun making new screenshots again. I haven’t posted the earlier ones because they were for, or part of, a comission, but these are just for my own enjoyment. This means I can freely post them here as well. I’ve put watermarks on them because I like them so much, I’m going to spam them all over the internet (I.e. Reddit, Twitter and Instagram). There are twelve screenshots in total. Six regular 1920×1080 screenshots, and six huge 3600×1050 screenshots. You can click on the screenshot to get the...
VIDEO: ACC Short Clip – A bit of Quarantine relief
Now that Easter is fast approaching, while we’re still stuck in this quarantine/coronovirus thing, I felt compelled to make the above video. It’s a short one, where I experimented with moving, scenic shots rather than (custom) tracking shots.
Design: Rinaldi 488 GT3 Evo
Last year, I made a 488 GT3 illustration. This year, the car’s maker has brought out an update to said car, creating the 488 GT3 Evo. One of the teams using this car in the GT World Challenge Europe (formerly Blancpain GT) called Rinaldi Racing, created a stunning livery for the car for the 2020 season which has yet to start due to coronavirus concerns. Last week one of the team’s drivers (and internet darling), David Perel, contacted me for an assignment. This got me inspired to update my 488...
ACC Playercount Round-up: March 2020
I’ve been keeping track of the amount of players playing ACC for a while now, out of personal curiosity. This basically means I’m importing data from both steamdb and steamcharts into my own spreadsheets. This might seem useless (which it probably is) but I add some value in terms of giving context to flat numbers which the sources do not. So lets get on with that. March 2020 March sees a significant upward trend, with a steady week-on-week growth. The first week of March saw an average peak concurrent players...
Video: ACC Short Clip – Outta Nowhere!
JoJo memes are still funny right? Right?! After a CP race on Silverstone I just had to throw this one together. A slight introduction as to what happened, well… I had a Nissan on my left, which meant I had to take the inside line. I tried to outbreak him so I had the exit to myself. However, I slightly overshot it, which meant I bottomed out on the kerb, sending me straight back on the track. The Nissan was able to avoid me albeit hitting the grass for a...
Opinion: are gamepads too easy to handle in Assetto Corsa Competizione?
Disclaimer: I’m not trying to start a flame war, and I do not think gamepad users are lesser in any way. I think this is a genuine question, which I want to pose in order to start a discussion, and hopefully trigger a reaction and/or explanation from physics master Aris. Disclaimer 2: This post was written in january 2020. A lot has changed since then, so keep that in mind while reading this post. Lately I’ve been seeing more and more people who I consider to be very quick drivers...
