Get into leagueracing with Simracing.GP

In March of 2020, MrGit kindly sent me an invitation to Simracing.GP. At the time, I was unfamiliar with what it was. We did a few races to try things out. At the time it was very barebones and only supported Assetto Corsa (AC1). Over the following months, the platform kept adding new features. When the day came that it started supporting Assetto Corsa Competizione (ACC), MrGit organized a few leagues through the platform. This made me fall in love with it. So much so that when we started The...

What’s next for ACC? Exploring all scenarios!

Assetto Corsa Competizione (ACC) has been doing very well, yet the roadmap for the game remains empty. This has caused a question to arise among ACC’s fans: what’s next for ACC? In this post, I will look at all the available information and explore different scenario’s based on what I know from interviews and from talking to people working at Kunos myself. I cross-examine those with ideas based on fan demands. While I do not have a complete picture of what is happening behind the scenes, I have some (basic)...

TPP presents: NLS 24 hours!

June 5th, the ADAC TOTAL 24H RACE will start at the Legendary Nordschleife for its 49th edition of the NLS 24 hours (formerly known as VLN 24 hours). Held since 1970, the 24-hour race promises to be a race of superlatives as always. For one day and one night, it pushes both men and machines to the limit. Where else can you experience a field of entrants with over 160 vehicles driving at full speed for 24 hours around the longest racetrack in the world? As a prelude to all...

Get ready for the second DTM mini-competition!

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, first, lets look back at yesterday’s event (of which you can view my perspective in this stream)! The 90’s DTM Mini-competition #1 The first race was at Brands Hatch (GP)....

I am a streamer now. I stream videogames.

I don’t know when it started. I do know how it started. But somewhere along the line, I became a videogame streamer. Not professionally ofcourse, that would require me to play different games like Dota, League of Legends or *shivers* Fortnite. No, I stream Assetto Corsa Competizione, a game which has stolen my heart almost a year ago to date. You can find my Twitch channel HERE. Read a little Q&A below: Q: WHY?! A: Because I like it. I like talking to people while I’m racing because, especially in...

Tool: Assetto Corsa’s Setup Tips

I’ve found that setting up cars in Assetto Corsa Competizione is a bit above my current skill level. For me (and probably a lot of other enthusiasts like me) there are just too many variables which can make a car go round faster, but also slower. Toe, caster, rebound, differential preload: what do these terms mean? I have a vague idea of what they are, but how do they pertain to the performance of my car in different situations?! I was in dire need of some setup tips. In Assetto...
