Italian Street Racing in the Alfa GTA - Assetto Corsa

[@italotracks2277]

Hi everyone! Track author here ☺ Firstly I'd like to thank Jake for featuring my track again in this splendid video. Thanks Jake! It's an honour and I'm thrilled that it has left an impression! Regarding the kind comments in the video - thanks a lot! And yes I am working on Pescara 1957 - at 25ish km it has been a lot of work (2 years to the day since Napoli), but it should be finished in the coming months rather than years. Beyond that the next circuits on my list are the full Livorno Montenero circuit, and the Napoli-esque Grand Prix of San Remo (Ospedaletti) - with views of the beautiful Ligurian coastline.

Can’t wait. Thank you for all your hard work on this beautiful track

[@assettoCorsaDirtRally]

Looking forward to the new tracks!

[@iangordon8078]

Dude, I just got back from Italy and this track jumps out to me. The umbrella pines and orange trees on the street. Very nice touches.

[@seebarry4068]

Much love for your efforts.

[@MazzRacing]

I'm originally from Napoli and it's impressive how this track is accurate and detailed (I can recognize some buildings that are still there at the present day). I also enjoying going back to it every now and then, not only for the personal connection and for the quality of the mod but also for the layout itself: it's tight but has a very nice flow for a street circuit. Can't wait to see italotrack's rendition of Pescara

[@italotracks2277]

Thanks a lot! ☺

[@rolux4853]

Im not from the region (I’m from Germany) but I also love the track and drive it very often! The flow like you said is amazing! I just wish we could get a track that’s not so perfectly smooth in the future! I really like bumps and ruts on older tracks that you feel in you wheel. I haven’t heard about Pescara before, so I’m looking forward to it :)

[@troyarmstrong963]

For anyone who might not know, there is a mod in development for AC called RARE. It adds F1 rules like drs, tire changing, pit stops, etc. Eventually the developer plans on adding safety cars, and rolling starts, there's also work being done to improve the ai racing. I've been using it since last july I think and its been great. The ai are actually fighting and staying clean as well(on certain tracks/cars..obv) and the drs rules are great to have work. I personally cannot wait for this mod to be complete because nothing feels like assetto corsa, like everyone I love this game and im happy the ai racing is being worked on by our passionate community. Try it for yourself if you haven't, but many of you surely have done already. You can even kind of use it for other racing like nascar or gt cars but its a little finicky.

[@GPLaps]

Thanks for letting me know! It looks interesting, ill keep an eye on that

This Mediterranean landscape is so amazing that it catches your eyes which are supposed to be focused on the road 😂 God I love southern europe

[@WhoopEaterz]

criminally underrated channel I enjoy every upload

[@teddrewflack400]

One of my favourite cars of all time , you can be brutal with the throttle and use it’s gears to control the corner , don’t be scared to use the engines high compression, fabulous little racer .

[@markduchey8785]

Great looking cars too

[@aarongreen121]

I absolutely LOVE the uphill section. This track is epic, you never get a moments rest. 10/10. I think he's working on a new track currently 👍

[@Ashfielder]

I watched three of these little Alfas battling it out at the Goodwood Revival last year, and they were fantastic. One of my dream cars.

[@StarkRaven59]

A few of them invariable show up at a vintage car race I work in Pittsburgh, and they're always entertaining to see. When they don't break and catch fire, any way...

[@ChrisR673]

One benefit of sim-racing is that those crashes are just temporary! That Mercedes would not have been a pretty one to see.

[@chuckc87]

I truly havent enjoyed watching someone drive and hearing them talk at the same time as much as when I watch your videos. Great stuff man, keep em coming!

[@CHAMPIONJOE]

Always a treat to watch your videos!

[@simtalkayak]

I always love the sound of a 105 Alfa.

[@Argy_V]

My favourite channel by far! Thank you !

[@riderofthemark6661]

Great video! I love this track, the best thing I've bought for AC and AMS. The Giulia TZ one of my favourite mods for AC, it's one of the first cars I used to race online for the first time

[@mattmattmatt131313]

Your original 1930s Napoli Grand Prix video is probably one of my favorite videos you ever did... such a great car/track combo.

[@johnrenton3463]

What's not to like :-) Well done yet again Jake!

[@DSW964]

Loving how the cars fit so perfectly together with this city circuit. I get the same feeling racing the 1991 DTM mod on the Nordschleife or GTPC protos at LeMans in RF2. I would really recommend you take a look at those two for future content.

[@SuperAcaoGeek]

I really like your videos man! I think it's pretty cool the way you set mood at the beginning of each video, preparing us for the content that is up ahead. Really good work here. Regards.

[@Someguy1785]

6:38 Holy sh-t! That had me rolling!

[@Sbeckford0000]

That start reminds me of my early days playing forza 6 in middle school. Slow-ish cars going around twisty tracks, trying SO hard to overtake one another. FM7's "homologation" or whatever it was irritated the living daylights out of me. I don't want to turn my medium-slow sportscar into a monster, being medium-slow is what makes it fun.

[@IndiBrony]

This reminds me of Citta di Aria which featured on Gran Turismo 4. Beautiful Italian scenery and narrow, hilly streets!

[@JHMBB2]

I love how passionate you are about the Italian race scene, great to see another American as in love with it all as I am!

[@frankcosta7065]

WOW il cinquino !

[@stazz316]

Hey man just wanted to say i love your vids theres nothing like a passionate man doing stuff hes passionate about. love ya and every vid you make

[@AzumiLP]

You're gonna have to get yourself over to Goodwood one of these days. The 'Festival of Speed' would be fun, but for you i think the 'Goodwood Revival' would be more up your alley.

[@NazarovVv]

Ooff hope that Merc driver is ok, that was a hard impact

[@alimantado373]

I actually owned a 1968 Alfa 1300 junior the cousin of this car . Great to see it in a sim. great driving too.

[@AntonioFerreira-iv7bc]

Love this track. I could watch your videos all day. You really have a great talent for narrating these amazing old tracks. Keep them coming

Heh.. Lately I drive a lot this GTA and there you go, video about it. :) Always fun to relax with this car... it has very high smile/mile element.

[@Pozer714]

Nice upload, I love the Alfa Romeo when I do AC, the engine sounds bad ass.

[@KitFisto762]

Another awesome video. It’s crazy how many race categories and tracks there are for Assetto Corsa. Just when you think you have everything you need you find another mod track or car. I always like how educational your videos are.

[@andrewcurtis4568]

Hobby? I just spent £800 on a graphics card for AMS2 and AC. You call that a hobby, I call it a serious problem.

[@GPLaps]

Well consider it this way, some folks call real racing their ‘hobby’ and $800 might get you… two tires? 😛

[@TheTotallyRealXiJinping]

@@GPLaps For 800 smackaroonies I’d say you’d get at least 2 scuffs that have a slit on the side so they can’t be used again. Another 1200 you can get a bent wheel to slap it on

[@ZedNinetySix_]

No substitute for G-Force.

[@makoongaming]

😂

[@thestarlightalchemist7333]

Honestly, I think it'd be easy to buy a car for $800 to go racing with, it's like LeMons plus another $300

[@alixcoulter6824]

This track has been one of my favorites since your original video on it. I still go back to it frequently, but I appreciate the reminder/inspiration. What a great set of cars, too!

[@Johnathan.David.Trewhitt.]

Really cool love bumps and narrow tracks. Have u seen the new tt iom trailer.

[@bobmcl2406]

Excellent video, beautifully produced. And of course the outstanding ride-along commentary from the greatest in-car reporter in the sport!

[@vitameat]

Nice...could use a couple of Giulia Berlinas though. (Equipo Carabineri staying in practice for catching them pesky bank robbers I think I've seen a few too many of those classic Italian film poilce chases on YT)

[@lugs118]

Really good video, love the old Alfas in AC especially the Tipo 33 Stradale. That’s sorted out what I’m doing this weekend.

[@PacMan592]

Wow I was literally driving this combo right before you posted this

[@reet-ko9lg]

I like this circuit and car group. Lovely stuff

[@assettoCorsaDirtRally]

I've been dreaming of driving on a coastal Italian track in an open top 1960's car so I had to get this one. Here are some suggestions of cars you could use on this one: Italian cars: Lancia Fulvia Ferrari 250 GT Lusso Others: Aston Martin DB5 Honda S800 Lotus Cortina Mercedes 300 SEL MG-MGA Peugeot 504 Porsche 718 RS 60 Spyder Shelby Cobra 427 Sunbeam Tiger Triumph TR6 Just add a minibus and a bus and it's The Italian Job

[@seebarry4068]

This would be a great classic mini track.

[@ronaldcolman6211]

Love it! Any chance we'll see you do The Datsun BRE 510's vs the Alfas vs BMW2002 at Laguna?

[@markduchey8785]

Quality vid as always

[@MrMiniPilote]

What an epic drive. What did you set the AI on to get them to crash? Mine don't seem to crash. Thanks for the content.

[@JURacing]

Thank you for the inspiration and another great video

[@SelfBiasedCybernaut]

What's your opponent strength set to? This looks very fun and realistic

[@robes4442]

Please make a similar video on the Nürburgring Südschleife, that track is also perfect for this type of racing. Maybe drive a German Porsche 912 then, seems appropriate.

[@dbracing_]

This video shows a lot of your work. Thank you.❤ I subscribe ❤

[@donjezza]

beautiful track

[@BD12]

can someone beg the modder to make Livorno

[@italotracks2277]

When I've finished Pescara! 😂 I have all the reference stuff done for Livorno ready to build over...

[@BD12]

@@italotracks2277 aaargh, yeah, I get the reasoning behind prioritising Pescara, haha, it's probably a bit better known and all. I've just been scoping out Livorno after trying (and failing) to make it myself, and it seems like it'd be an insane period track to take 30's - 50's cars around. I hope you'll get there one day, keep up the fantastic tracks.

[@BrixSG]

Always love your contacts

[@Madgitty2]

Love this channel , keep up the great work

[@cladecq]

OMG... on this track, if you touch a kerb, you lose a wheel ! 😄 ... I wrote this at 6:00 (because I was scared when I saw them, at this point) and at 6:30, the Mercedes touches the kurb and it's the big accident ! I agree to drive on this circuit against the AI, ok ok... but only with a big American car of 1600kg at least ! 😆 @ 12:39 : It's unfair, your car is cheated, you should have lost the left rear wheel! 😁 great circuit and great driving

[@lsimpson50]

Great driving!

Hi there, could you please do more wreckfest on your channel 👍 your channel is great, I love racing an especially good old redneck racing... Have a great week 😁

kinda like an old school baku with that thin section

[@petrnovak3085]

Hi, I like your videos and I like this car too.

[@YYesImCrazYY]

I swear I was at that exact location on a class trip lol

[@JPKelly-xr7tr]

Excellent Content!

[@Harrumph]

One hell of a track. One question, at 15:21 is that a man made of pizza? Or do I just not understand period Italian fashion?

[@Villoresi]

Considering (a version of) the circuit was used as late as 1962 or '63, the mismatch with the time period of these cars you're using here really isn't that bad. The aggression of the AI could perhaps be dialed back a tad.

[@Dethmeister]

I know AC isn't a crash simulator but I wish it had more realistic damage for when things go wrong.

[@ploppyjr2373]

AC 2 next year hopefully that’ll be better

Do a video with the maximum force feedback you can play.

How do you compare the Alfa Romeo GTA from Kunos with the GTAM mod? The GTAM has more hp

[@craigyirush3492]

How often do the AI bin it like the Merc and the Alfa did?

Was this racing against AI?
