Assetto Corsa - What's It Like Driving Senna's 1200BHP Lotus At Monaco?

[@patrickcannady2066]

The 86 cars were beasts, all of them. I saw them race. They were unbelievably loud, despite the turbos, and more a little scary. You were never too sure that one of them wouldn't just blow an engine and shoot bits of metal and hot lubricants all over the track.

[@lococurling]

Patrick Cannady It was an era.

[@DrJReefer]

I understand why they've built engines to last half a dozen races. But I do miss the unpredictability of having cars driven beyond the limits of the hardware and blowing up on track. Back then Lewis might have been a lap up on 3rd place but that didn't necessarily mean he was going to win every race.

[@ouaisgro2502]

crazy facts : Ayrton Senna qualified 1:23.175 with the same car Prost was in pole with 1:22.627 And this was in real life :D These times were crazy for F1 !!!

[@Obi-WanKannabis]

That's actually insane because if anything the track was slower than today. Was Jimmy on the right tyres?

[@szalonysebcio5]

Considering that Jimmy is not a professional racing driver and Senna was an absolute beast on Monaco, only 1.5 seconds off the Senna's pace (albeit on a modern, faster circuit) is still a damn achievement, considering that with few more laps of practice he could probably go around 0.5 faster!

[@Obi-WanKannabis]

it was more like 1.8 seconds slower. But still yea, Prost was 1.4 seconds slower in 1988 so it's not unreasonable.

[@ouaisgro2502]

Prost was 1.4 second away, but faster !

[@joaoandrade2828]

These F1 drivers are INSANELY FAST for sure (the champions are god level). A curious fact: Prost and Senna dominated the Monaco Grand Prix for TEN YEARS, alternating the first place from 1984 to 1993. Also interesting the fact that Senna is considered the "Master of Monaco" with 5 poles, 6 wins (5 consecutive wins from 1989 to 1993) and 8 podiums (and he achieved these stats with only 10 races on the principality). About Jimmy, don't underestimate the 1.5 second difference, because this difference is more significant in a slow and short track like Monaco. But great drive by him anyway.

[@remuaja84]

Sick video about a sick car! I happened to test this car in Project Cars 1, visiting my friend, and there you can set the turbo pressure as bar units (instead of %) - the default setting is 4.7 bar and the highest is 6.0!! On top of this, the pressure gauge inside the car actually has a digital display on top, reading up to 6570 mbar! Was a helluva time in Silverstone 1986 layout with VR, but I must say, the soundscape in Assetto Corsa is on a different level. Love the noises of fuel burning in the exhaust!

[@nasbordasdainsanidade1193]

Hello Jimmy! I feel honored to have the opportunity to see his incredible riding ability taming this F1 beast. Your videos are awesome! I've been an Ayrton Senna fan since I was a kid.

Hi Guys, I found this link a few years back. I never got to do it justice and point anyone to it but, today is good for it. :-) This site provides clear, simple track maps for many circuits AND, includes any changes made year by year. Find the circuit; click the 'Year'. Simple. In a panel to the right is a list of tabs that display alternative layouts including separate inner courses. There is a 'Pro' section right of the site menu bar. It seems similar but may include races of 'Pro' rating. So, to solve your Monaco track dispute... www.racingcircuits.info/

This car is the most challenging to drive from the whole grid. Another one is the Sauber Group C. Old time classics teaching the essence of driving.From the era when power was way ahead of control.A huge gokart on steroids. It's challenging to do a proper clean lap with it not mentioning racing. But when you learn it then it is an absolute pleasure to drive these cars on the edge. You can really feel the car and its limits more then any other. If you can control this car then you can drive any other.

[@viniciussuguri6953]

[@DanTheCaptain]

Differences between modern day Circuit de Côte D'Azure and the 80's layout is that, back then their was less room. Much of the current runoff was non-existent back in the day. This resulted in a slower track time but I don't think it was any more dangerous then current day Monaco. Slower track time were because of tighter turns. The most notable parts of the track being Ste Devote, Piscine, and La Rascasse. Now a days, when you enter Piscine, there is a bit of run off and a rumble strip on the outside and run off to at the exit of the Piscine complex. This didn't exist back then as well as Rascasse being a bit wider. Everything from Beau Rivage to the Tunnel, and Antony Noghes hasn't really changed of the years.

[@0xbitbybit]

What's with the field of view people/sims use, look at what you can see when you drive in real life, you can see pretty much up to your biceps, yet in these games, it's always zoomed right in and just all wrists/wheel and dash. Going for realism in every other aspect, yet all we can see are wrists, plus it would add to the sense of speed with a wider FOV like it should be.

[@SkateGeneva]

The last chicane is a lot more flowing in this version

[@xenios1820]

The swimming pool is so much better in VR....

[@marcusbattaglia5400]

Yeah, in the older version (80s) of Monaco, de swimming pool was much more scary (I believe its the last chicane, no?)

[@tomfrancis8267]

Just a little fact check. Your time with full bar would have been good for 10th on the grid in 1986 Monaco GP, good work. Senna went 1.23.1!

[@marleyman101]

Jimmy check out AC-Track Reboot. There's some really awesome mods containing resurrected old track mods, they are taking them forward and making them PERFECT. All free, most of the tracks are period too - Monaco 1966, Spa 1966, Imola 1967, Oulton Park, Imola 1988 etc etc. It's well worth checking out for future "period" content. #thicc

There's a version of classic Pau hanging around somewhere. I know it's not period correct, but a combo like that is pretty incredible.

[@ThePaulv12]

I remember Murray Walker and James Hunt on commentary at a Monaco around this time. This particular year, James was late to the commentary and Murray was holding the shop. When James arrived, sometime around the 4th or so lap in, he was obviously pissed. His commentary was hilarious and Murray was still holding the fort over his quite drunken rambling and lack of tact. IIRC, I think it was the year it was rained out but I might be wrong about that. I do however remember from the rained out year James saying (wtte), "Oh Murray, it's absolutely pissing down now," which was jolly funny in a Derek and Clive (Cook & Moore) sorta way. It was very British.

[@deborahchesser7375]

5 bar is approx 72 1/2 lbs of boost, a lot. Toss it after qualifying

[@eamonahern7495]

I think you would have still had a good time if you didn't give a slight lift at the swimming pool on that final flying lap. Senna had it judged so fine that he'd often kiss the barrier with the tyres and you don't have to worry about the consequences of a crash. I remember one of the things I realised about driving a forklift around awkward corners, with and without a load, in a previous job was that if you clear something by even 1mm you still don't hit it. Same applies to racing at well over 100mph at Monaco.

[@burzasardaukar]

Did you forget to empty fuel tank when using 100% turbo? (45L at top right of dashboard is 45 litres of fuel or 45 laps of fuel?). At those times they also used special qualifying tyres (and different gearbox ratio for qualy, but i think the gearbox ratio was only important on fast tracks to get higher top speed with longer gears, and here in monaco it doesn´t matter so much)
