Description

Assetto Corsa hotlap / short and simple achievement guide for 'Long-Tailed Monster: Gold' achievement / challenge. Porsche 935/78 was German Group-5 Special Production race car. It was used by Porsche at the end of 1978. Car was very powerful and very fast. In the qualifying at Le Mans it only lost to prototypes entered by Renault and Porsche. And in Silverstones qualifying session it was over 1,5 seconds faster than lap time set by James Hunt a year earlier in an F1 car.

Porsche 935/78:
- 3,2 litre flat-6 twin-turbo engine
- 1025 kg
- 845 hp @ 8200 rpm
- 784 Nm @ 6200 rpm

Long-Tailed Monster Challenge:
Gold below: 1:48,500
Silver below: 1:50,500
Bronze blow: 1:52,500

World Record: 1:48,207 (RSR live timing 8.1.2017)
My laptime: 1:48,364

I started to doubt if I could do this. The Bronze was again easy to get, but even the Silver was already hard one. After six hours of setting up and practicing I started to get low 1:49's. After that it took two more hours of hotlapping to get the time reguired. The setups in my opionion do make this car faster. Gearing is really important to get right with this car. For me the biggest challenge was to learn how to manage the immense power the engine produces. The horrendous turbo-lag did not make things any easier.

You will notice that i run wide on some corner exits, in real racing and in simracing leagues this might in some rules be forbidden. in this challenge it is not. Assetto Corsa has an active function that disqualifies laps that it thinks have been achieved by driving the car off track. To this track this function has been configured in a manner that allows these runoff areas to be used for racing. Therefore this lap has been driven according to rules set by the manufacturer Kunos Simulazioni.

The warning indicator lit in the dashboard is for low fuel.

This video has been upscaled from 1080p to 4K. This has been done to take benefit of Youtube's higher bitrate for 4K video. I recommend you try to watch this at "1440p60" regardless of what monitor you are using.
