Bathurst 12 Hour | ACC | Single Race Mode 

Such a lovely series and great to see you discovering other racing games! Kinda motivates me to give ACC another try.

I was half expecting this to be a 12 hour video

I enjoy this type of ash videos so much

Just to add to the whole simracing stuff and trying to get away from it: I've had a conversation, with someone who shall not be named, which was affirming and helped me a ton to get away from chasing the dream of being good at simracing. I'm now really on a good way to enjoy NR2003 (and other games) just for racing without having to proove anything to essentially nobody. I also feel like I'm at a point where I finally got away from forcing myself to make content out of it if I'm not enjoying it. Does that make sense? Tldr: Play racing games for the fun, nobody who is a sensible person will tell you at what AI difficulty you should play and what times you have to run.

24min timeprogression races are the best! On PS4 I used project cars2 to do this, so many interesting track and car combos from all Motorsport era’s. It opened up a whole new world to me, I used to only know and care about F1.

All right, I shall follow along and comment on stuff I hear: *That's kind of the sad part of progress, you really need to be able to upgrade your equipment, otherwise you won't be able to run newer games. I have what IS a potato, a 2005 office PC with an integrated card. I know that I won't be able to run anything newer than ... (thinks) ... 2007 or so. This is a fact simply because games have evolved. If there's a positive is that there is a host of older games that will run under ancient equipment, NR2003, NT2004, F1 Challenge. Are those the ideal gateway to sim racing? Probably no, but at least there's an option back here for potato owners. Still, game devs seem to take pride in making games have higher and higher requirements. *Grand Prix 4 comes up clutch when it comes to explaining setups, as they had an actual race engineer record videos to explain what most of the setup did (no love for differentials) and had a section explaining on text what the setup did. Nice touch from Microprose. Sadly (at least to me) there's people that's not interesting in learning setups, which to me is the most interesting part of race weekends, the actual race aside. Also, I'm trying to mentally communicate to Video Ash to take it easier on the car. *Ah, the sim racing elites. Anyway, Time Acceleration was a feature of games like F1 Challenge, GTR2, Race 07, you know, sims of their time . The games did punish you if you skip sessions, because that sim engine is kinda glitchy, but time accelerating those sessions keeps AI times fairly believable. I don't get the point of defending the lack of a feature. And yes, I do approve Commodity & Accessability over Ultimate Realism, because the first has no real downsides and can be made to not detract from the second thanks to the power of OPTIONS™. *Minecraft quality ACC videos when? *That's a lot of controls alright. And like you mentioned it is a lot easier when you have a keyboard with as many keys as you want instead of a controller or wheel with a much more limited set of keys to use. They could have used some old-timey "Alternative function" buttons, a button that altered what other buttons did. *You mentioned LeMans. We all know what this means. LeMans 24 Hours PS2 edition coming soon, right? *Nicely done on the race ... barring the occasional pinball moments. Nice job.
