Chevrolet’s Original Stingray Corvette in the Desert - ACLegends GTC 60s - Assetto Corsa

[@gameboyterrorysta6307]

Softly sprung cars with tires demanding high slip angles to generate grip. "Flowy" track without tight chicanes or stop&go U-turns. BOP-ed cars based on road going trims offering wide variety of philosophies behind making GT car without fancy aerodynamic devises that kill close racing. God, I love vintage stuff. I think that amateur-ish GLTC is the closest we can get to this experience despite using modern cars and aero packages.

[@dcdude345]

I freaking love GLTC, very underrated category. True production based racing at a pretty high level

[@devonroyer5382]

On the topic of the c2 and how good of a racecar it was, i autocross with the 1972 imsa gt champion and he won the championship in his 1963 small block corvette beating the c3 big block cars. He's a pretty cool dude, runs a 3rd gen mr2 for most of the events but he brought out the old vette for one of the events and it was amazing.

[@wm973]

You mean ford 289. That corvette sounds and drives great!!! Thanks.

[@bobmcl2406]

I have to take a minute to acknowledge the outstanding editing in this video. I genuinely felt like I was watching a real race. I will use this video to demonstrate to friends how Sim Racing can help you develop race craft skills. Terrific stuff, Jake.

[@edwardburek1717]

This race also reminds me of that scene in Ford Vs Ferrari: Le Mans 66 where Ken Miles was racing in the Willow Springs 100 and Dan Gurney was asking him about the broken windscreen. "New Design", was the deadpan Brummie reply. That was quite an epic battle between the most wonderful looking cars in the field - your Corvette Stingray, and the Beauty of Browns Lane, the Jag E-Type.

[@Santiagodelpieroshakespeare08]

Si recuerdo esa escena, pero será que eso pasó en la vida real 🤔??

[@bobmcl2406]

Great video of a drop-dead gorgeous car. 1967 was the best looking Corvette, in my books. One minor correction: Cobra was a 289 in small block form (originally a 260, in fact).

[@raffriff42]

if 6 was 9…

[@OgamiItto70]

Just a little correction here: Those older racing Cobras were using Ford 289 c.i. engines. There was no Ford "286." The _very first_ few Cobras manufactured actually had 260 engines, the predecessor to the 289, and the original "thin wall casting" Ford small-block V8 that later became the 289 and 302 and even, with a taller deck height, the 351 Windsor. And, yes, the 289 Cobras handled better because the 289 engine was much lighter than the massive 427.

[@TamiyaGuy123]

I must admit, I've passed your videos by in the past, seeing 20+ minute runtimes and balking. But I've been watching a few over the past week and I gotta say I am _hooked._ The production quality is superb, a lovely blend of history, your own opinions, and of course actually driving, while your commentary, both scripted and on-the-fly, flows wonderfully and makes the twenty minutes fly by. Very easy-listening, these videos feel almost podcast-like and make for great background noise while doing something else as well as paying full attention to. These videos have finally convinced me to pull the trigger on Assetto Corsa, honestly. Thanks! If your stuff is anything to go by, I'm looking forward many hours of high-quality, obscure, and plain silly modded content.

[@truantray]

These vintage mods are a completely different skill level than most sim racers on GT3 sims. Frankly, modern racing suffers heavily IRL for the same reason.

[@dodge33cymru]

This to me is the mod I've longed for for years. Everyone has that period of car and motorsports that is just their personal sweetspot and '60s GTs, especially the Cobra v GTO v E Type battles, are that for me. Bazza, DrDoomsLab, MacTen, Legion and everyone that's contributed to this have done an amazing service. Special shout out to Bazza for not just the physics, but tweaking the AI to get the best from them in these tricky cars too, something that's oft overlooked in mods. In combination with the fantastic period circuits (there's a 60s skin for this Willow Springs on RD by the way), there's a level of immersion here that I never, ever thought I'd get to experience. Can't thank enough every modder that's helped get the game to this point. Excellent cut of the video too, some great tracking shots very nicely timed.

[@macten8603]

Really great vid !...I am the modder that did that corvette for Bazzas mod... very cool to see people enjoy my work !

[@ElFrankElTank]

So glad you’ve come to Willow springs GP, it’s my favourite track of all time and you’ve done it justice in this video. It’s a shame that big willow isn’t more common in sims because it’s a blast to drive. Classic GT, Prototype cars are at home here, but to anyone curious modern cars go great around here too. Thanks for the video GPLaps.

[@grandicellichannel]

I'd really LOVE an AC recreation of the 1970 Le Mans from yours, with the excellent versions of the 917 KH and LH and 512 S Coda Lunga made by Legion (not conversions). You should be able to find the other sportcars and prototypes around, if you want to make an historically-correct version of that legendary edition of the 24 Hours. The only proplem - if you want - is that there isn't a version of the 1968 to '71 Le Mans configuration with the Chicane Ford around yet. It could be done easely adding ARMCOs and the chicane to the already existing "Le Grand" version... thanks for the attenction, Jake!

[@SideWaysiscool]

Loved this video! Just want to make a note, the modding team DDM converted the laserscanned version from GT Sport into Assetto and it includes Horse Thief Mile and Streets of Willow. Huge visual update compared to this though.

[@bobmcl2406]

"Almost touched the Bizzarinni. I think I got away with it". There speaks a true racing driver!

[@SimRacersArms]

Great car/track combo, absolutely loving the ACLegends GTC 60s mod - keep up the great content! 👍🏁

[@BurkhartOfficial]

Never been so quick to click on a video, thank you for making my Sunday afternoon Jake! Keep up the good work! :)

[@JAubrey11]

I am so happy that I found your channel! Great videos about the golden days of motorsports... cannot be happier. Thanks very much for your content and keep on with the good work!

[@Nereosis16]

I love watching the video and then downloading the mods and having a go myself. Usually takes 5+ attempts at each race before I can even finish without several spins but still fun

[@johnrenton3463]

Another evocative, beautiful video - thank you so much for your vintage content!

[@jimcurt99]

the 63 split window Corvette is my favorite car ever- it's gorgeous (same year I was born BTW)

[@billr8667]

The Cobras were powered by "289" Ford engines, not 286.

[@JTeam45]

I can't hear "slide job" without Dale Jr. shouting it in my head anymore 😂

[@tradesman1000]

Downloaded and drove these classics and again greeted with brilliant cars so well made. The sounds the handling of each car! Thanks to ACLegends modders. 👍🏻 well edited vid mate. Love your work.

[@paulanstey4577]

You can say what you like about American muscle cars but the one thing you guys got right was the noise. The sound of a big American V8 is one of the best automotive sounds going. Perhaps only beaten by an F1 V10 or V12 imo. Another great video and this is an awesome must have pack to add to the other ACL packs they've done. :)

[@DannysDiecastDisasters]

Great video mate good fun. Those AC pack are awesome for setting up quick fun races 👍

[@NeedforMine1]

Dude, how large is your assetto corsa folder at this point? :D Either way, really love the content you've been making. It's so niche to see someone showcasing these mods and I really appreciate it. Had it not been for you, I wouldn't even know Tatra made pseudo-racecars that were able to preform great and drive it as well (my father had a blast throwing it around 1960s Monza). Thank you and keep it up

[@truantray]

As big as everyone else's...thousands of cars.

[@paulanstey4577]

Mines too big. Not enough hours in the day to get and really drive them all.

[@ACasualRacer]

Well.... I have 2,734 cars and 1,323 tracks downloaded currently for my copy of AC. GP Laps is also obviously a KZbinr as well, so I'd guess something similar.

[@lucatitoq4781]

yeah, I have around 600 GB of cars and tracks

[@ThaShaydeeSaint]

When GPLaps posts a video, I watch.

[@cmbaileytstc]

This channel has become an instant drop everything and watch for me. 👍🏻

[@AgentZ7]

Bazza coming at us again with another quality pack.

[@JURacing]

is it only me cancelling all other things to watch GPLaps latest AC video? I know it will be much too long until the next one comes up. Thank you Jake!

[@BaiocoIslandFilms]

Just hopped out of a 1-hour "enduro" around VIR in these cars, great fun!

[@a_random_jonny6424]

Loved that instant replay of the 250GTO

[@Skellingtor97]

I love Big Willow ever since driving it in GT6, thanks for the showcase :D

[@WuschelWolf]

That was a great video especially the intro. Thank you for reminding me that this mod exists.

[@elia8544]

Man I’ve been binge watching your vids I think you got me into sim racing lol

[@Tunerguy21]

I grabbed this on release but still haven't gotten the chance to try it yet. The Bizzarrini was the car I was most looking forward to, personally. Its such a stunning looking car. This Corvette isn't too far behind, though.

[@PRODRIVE177]

Amazing as always.

[@joe08867]

Not bad throwing a yank tank around. As always great race and content.

[@nikbear]

Just a joy to watch 👏 Bravo 👍🍻

[@unitoftemp]

Ahhhh, the C2. I'd love to own one.

[@cyberleone00]

what a drive and what a car magnificent track as well so cool

[@LRSNRCNG309]

That gullwing tho 👌🏻❤️

[@rideroundandstuff]

You should join us at thracing, there's currently a championship going on with those cars!

[@fredscratchet1355]

Another great video Jake. I haven't really tried Willow Springs I'll have to give it a go. I've set up an Oval racing series using only Estonia 25 cars racing against the AI. 15 minutes practice and quali and 9 lap sprint race. Punted off in the 1st race but somehow scraped 1st place in the next three rounds. One day I might be able to drive as good as you😁

[@bbb462cid]

I love it but I have seen a few vids on this and each one calls this a '67. The fender vents are 1965 and 1966 only. In 1967, there were five "gills" and they were angled. 1965 models had vents (well one real vent, one dummy) behind the door windows. They were dropped for 1966. So, this is a 1966 model. I'm not "blaming" anyone I just don;t get where the year is coming from.

[@RalonsoF1]

If I'm not mistaken, there must be an option in Content Manager, where you can activate the odometer for the vehicle you want to run with. Would be even more immersive seeing the milage counter running while making the distance! Great video as always, Jake!

[@GPLaps]

i have that on, i think this car just doesnt support it

[@RalonsoF1]

@@GPLaps Ok, pity! I did some drives with the vintage Fiat 500 Abarth 595 SS Step 2 from 1964 and man, it was just so nice to see that running, there! 😃

[@truantray]

Interesting...that was actually the concept behind West's Racing Legends (coming out any day now).

[@RalonsoF1]

@@truantray Maybe they will have this feature intergated, then. I checked it out on some of the vintage cars I have on AC, and on all of them this feature actally worked, so...

[@sergioloro]

superb as usual

[@grahamkeeton6643]

Cobras had a 289 not 286 engine as well as the 427 Also wasn't 1967 the year the big block Corvette came out

[@hansottosmotos]

Really great channel you have here....I was wondering what PC specs you run?

[@Ashfielder]

I’d love to see you drive an E Type up against all these muscle cars on a track like this.

[@Yoshiman2024]

Since you mentioned Ford V Ferrari (and gladly), maybe a video idea for the future which combines movie related mods combined with Steve Mcqueen's Le Mans?

[@JetRed_7]

Very imppressive driving there. I really struggle with this car keeping it from spinning out. Great mod but i cant drive it with any confidence yet.

[@alixcoulter6824]

Great video! I was anxiously waiting for this pack's release after your preview video for it, and I've spent many hours in each of the cars since it came out. How much did you have to do with the GP Laps livery included in the pack? That was an excellent Easter egg to stumble across!

[@GPLaps]

It surprised me too! Found out about it after it was released

[@Villoresi]

I'd have to say that, in some ways, the Bizzarrini is one car that interests me perhaps more than the others, in that it's a European-built machine, but uses that snarling Chevy 327 mounted up front. I should have known this would pop up when i did the search: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iou4ZmBrjKiBmJY I still prefer the look of the 1962-63 Ferrari 250 GTO myself. Now, if we could just get a Proto Pack with the P538.

[@gearhead682010]

It was a 289 cubic inch Cobra not a 286 as you stated

[@sbblakey]

They can afford to race vintage stuff hard at Goodwood.

[@watsonroadster3707]

A little nudge?!?!?!...Dude, you dumped him...lol

[@Jay_The_Cat]

Didn't one of these compete at Le Mans in the late 60's and annihilate everyone on the straights? 😂

[@froggothedoggo5997]

I have been trying this mod pack and it is amazing! Great video as always. You are criminally underrated Jake! Also can you include more exterior shots please. They look amazing.

[@900108Chale]

1:38 *289 Cobra!* There was NO 286.

[@lukuxider2000]

I got the problem with this mod - I don't think I am slow driving guy and I am pushing this cars to the limit but AI is so fast that I can't catch the leaders - even if I lower their strength to minimum (which is 80%). Not sure if this is right. I am driving F1 1967 cars or 1962 and they are way harder than this GTCs and I can keep up with them with 100% strength. GTC - no way.

[@Zao-gq2dn]

Will this game be mo

286 Cobra? wasn't it 289?
