Living the Drifting Dream in Assetto Corsa

You guys deserve to know what"s been sucking up all my free time these past few months ;)
Drifting in Assetto Corsa in VR with even a basic sim rig is an almost unmatched experience, and I really think that if you have an interest in it, even though the cost of wheels/headsets is high, you should still take a serious look into this, it is worth it!!!
Sim Rig Setup
Logitech G29 wheel
-Modified power supply and cooling (better wheel FFB)
-3DRAP wheel adapter
-350mm deep dish wheel
Logitech Pedals
Logitech Shifter
-Dojo CF shift knob
-3DRAP shifter adjustment (better shifting feel)
Color Tree USB Handbrake
3 24" monitors (or Valve Index for VR supported games)

Dude, go ahead and cover everything you do. Mod guides to videos covering any racing games you've been enjoying. I'm sure most of us watch you for you and not just Forza.

[@YurandX]

Agree. More assetto would be Great!

[@theprophet9428]

This video makes me want to get a headset and wheel and learn stick virtually. I’m sure there’s no way it could compare to the real feel of a car. But it’s better than stalling and feeling like an idiot lol. I finished initial D years ago but after rewatching it here I am again talking about how cool all this looks.

[@hopfaundfelder3375]

So I started drifting in AC even before I got my drivers license. Now I own a fwd car, so no drifting there, but recently I got an opportunity: A friend of mine knew about my Assetto Corsa shenanigans and offered me to drive his M3 E92. We drove to the nearest empty parking lot and started drifting perfect circles... just kidding, I spun it a bunch of times. ;) But surprisingly after a bit of practice I actually managed some decent drifts and I'm sure after some time I could be pretty good. Goes to show how realistic AC is and how easy it is to translate it to the real world.

[@roxyproxyapadeh]

So from 1 to 10, how realistic is it? Apart from g force and which mod seem to be more realistic? I am always curious by these...

[@hopfaundfelder3375]

Well, I can talk about the M3 E92. Its pretty accurate I would say. 9 out of 10. The car reacts the way you would expect it to. As for other cars or mods, I have no clue. The drift versions and many mods are very easy to drift, but considering how much torque they have and the tuning that might very well be accurate.

[@roxyproxyapadeh]

Thank you so much for the explanation its very helpful

[@ikeworkman4449]

haha im same with everything but I got to drive a rwd truck in the snow. I just got my license and now own an old civic. Still gonna try and drift the civic with a Scandinavian flick when the snow comes back :)

Hey don't give up, it's worth learning! Start with something like the Toyota GT 86 (or even Abarth 500). If you are using a gamepad, turn on traction control and ABS. Then Just do time trial laps on Imola until you can stay on the road. Pay attention to the ideal line, and slow waaay down when going into turns. It will help your racing in other games as well.

[@haydz192]

Awesome! Would be interesting to see your thoughts on the Touge scene in Assetto! (Not just drifting but the competitive racing scene as well!)

[@HokiHoshi]

That's something I really want to start diving into more!! I've hopped in a few public servers in Akina but people were mostly just kind of messing around and crashing a lot so I haven't been able to fully get into it yet, maybe for another video soon though!

[@haydz192]

@@HokiHoshi Wicked :) Touge Life 1 (I'm assuming that's the public server you jumped on) has its fair share of newer drivers (being one of the most newbie-friendly touges), but hang around long enough and you can run into some really good racers!

[@tyroniebalonie]

@@HokiHoshi I know the ping and the timezone won't be the best for you considering the origin is Australia but I highly encourage you to look into the ADC (Australian drift co) servers. There are usually at least 4-5 running at one time and each has their own particular track and set of cars.. Every time i play these servers, even if its a weekday, they are always busy and quite often have servers that are full. They have competitions, sponsorships, the lot and many international players jump on anyways and quite often I find myself drifiting with an american or Uk person without too much trouble.. Generally if your ping is under 150ms you can still tandem without too much lag.. There are thousands of members with many new members daily so please check out the awesome content and maybe even look into the competition coming up in January? This is by far the most comprehensive and content rich servers/discord group you will find on Assetto Corsa. I found nothing that came even slightly close in over 2 years. Here's the discord link: discord.gg/yQxZNvT You'll also find a lot more serious drivers on these servers and quite often you can jump into a server with just vr headset users with good sim wheel setups and you won't have as much trouble with noobs crashing into you all the time..

[@cattcameo]

HokiHoshi akina is by far one of the most competitive tracks on assetto corsa. The touge life server is great and it’s fun trying to set laps because they have an online leaderboard.

I don't know why you tube always suggest videos that are months old but still great vid and thank you. I was playing AC on Xbox when this came out, now I've been on a PC for about a month. Everything you just said is exactly how it went for me. All the cars and maps you'll ever want. A far cry from the 2 drift tracks and 5 cars on the Xbox version. PC version is so much more and I look forward to my time spent drifting online. I have a TX with a Sparco rim and Sparco hand brake. I hope this can excite even more people to come out and give this sim some love. Nothing like a 24 person server with a tandem line that's 10 cars deep. Thank again for the video bro.

I’ve been playing assetto corsa for awhile now. If I had to say, the best part about this game is that it has a little bit of everything you can ask for: Dirt racing, Street Racing, Touge, Drifting, etc. Also, given the resources and time, you have the ability to make your own mods.

By the way, best motherboards to get are the MSI B450 Gaming Plus MAX or MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX (MAX, not regular). Best value for money by far, and BIOS compatibility (you'll need to update the BIOS before you do anything on it with a USB stick. Or you could just get ripped off and buy a pre-built, bit I recommend not to do that.

[@willwastaken]

@Gibbon Are you kidding me? Do you have any idea how expensive that is in comparison. You're looking at a couple grand for a decent car, a few hundred dollars PER DRIFT SESSION for tires, quite a lot of money for fuel, maintenance costs, paying to rent/use a track, car insurance, ET CETERA. We use simulators because it's always readily available for use, there are no other costs besides the initial payment, and it's fairly inexpensive for what you actually get.

If anyone is just getting into sim racing, heres some stuff I've learned over a couple of years. 1. If a sim handbrake is out of your budget, buy an old flightstick. (I use a Logitech Attack 2) You can find them at pawnshops, Goodwills and garage sales for super cheap. 2. When you first buy pedals, buy a can of electronics cleaner spray. The pedal-height sensors get random stuff in them, like dust and pet hair. This can cause random input spikes when you're not touching anything, and prevent you from going full throttle. It's really really annoying for racing, and I spent a long time trying to figure out what was wrong. (I thought it was software)
