Nice Ass.etto!

I decided to see if I could record what all this PC master race stuff is all about. After all, for years, I've been a PS player with PS2, 3 & 4 being cornerstones of my late-night gaming.

But I won't be buying a PS5 I think. And the reason is that with games like Rfactor2 and Assetto Corsa the amount of content available to keep the games fresh is going to far surpass the need to buy another console. And that's before mentioning AC Competizione or "I'll eat all your resources" as it's better known.

But of late I've been courting Assetto the hot lap simulator. In fairness the AI is robust, it's just that I like driving, and this game is great for that.

So behold, a quick lap in a car that is amazing and a track that I'd never heard of before an episode of Chris Harris Drives.

The track is known as Charade: https://www.racingcircuits.info/europe/france/charade.html
The car is a singer (3.8), I'll confess to using the content manager app to rectify the sounds, it had way too much bass rumble. Now sorted.

Anyway, enjoy:



Very nice indeed, not least as I'm trialing a new knob. As it were. I'll post up some shots and a write up of "how to make your sim environment rock for next to nothing" soon. Certainly, I've got more than a basic G29.

And all of this is why I'm sticking with a PC. And even Project Cars 2, which I lived on with the PS4 is now on the PC, and I think that PCars3 will be on here too - once it's on sale...
