Assetto Corsa: 1966 Ford GT40 X1 at Abulzz Targa Florio 0.2.03

If it isn't obvious, my go to hobby to relax is driving the Targa Florio in whatever I fancy at the moment. I've done laps in just about every pre 1982 car available in Assetto Corsa, and if it's a decent looking lap, I save the replay file. So over the years I've got this backlog of "hotlaps" that I can go to whenever Abulzz updates the track. Back in December I tested every car in the AC Legends 60's Le Mans pack, including the gigantic GT40's that absolutely aren't suitable for this track, because of course I would. For what it's worth, a few GT40 Mk. 1's made it around the Targa Florio, including the Ford France entry which did well in 1967, and Bob Bondurant chopped the roof from a GT40 in 1965 and gave the Targa Florio a go, losing a wheel on lap 7 of 10.
Unsurprisingly the X1 almost never makes it out of 2nd gear until the Buonfornello straight, at which point the 200+ mph nearly redeems it.

Hang on, just about every pre-1982 car available in AC? I haven't seen you do a lap in the Benz Patent Motorwagen yet... 😉 or the Ford 999 (can't blame you on that one, it's a terrifying machine but at least it's quicker than walking pace!)

I actually did try the Benz. It can't make it up the first hill. And I've done a lap in all the 20's and 30's GP cars. I just didn't upload all of those replays.

And I'm hoping someone finishes that 1932 Targa, because it makes more sense to drive the pre war cars on dirt.

@@Someguy1785 Absolutely agree!
