Aspirational Footwork

Go check out the Assetto "vote for a Ferrari" page - INFO HERE. One of the cars I would vote to see in the game is the F50.

The reason? Well, that game has reasonable sounds (so a V12 is going to be good), great physics (so carbon tub and stressed V12 subframe stuff mmmkay) and above all, is a manual gearbox. And this I love about this game.

If you have a H pattern gearbox, do go for a highland spin in a Lamborghini Miura - I think they've simulated the somewhat shitty gear change perfectly. Don't believe me? Go try an E30 at Brands and see if the change is as fickle as it is in the Lambo...
And if there's any doubt, simulation became reality last night for Ace my racing buddy as following a particularly major fence shunt declared a broken gearbox. Good sim... better sim as it was in fact his G29 shifter that had dropped second and third.

Anyway, of the F50, and this post title, I want this car, and I want to drive it like this...



In other news, that's not a ramble, it seems we have a quorum for Assetto now, so next week I'll message everyone and we'll race on in a private lobby! Time for me to figure out car classes!
