Many apologies for the lack of updates in the last year. Things have been hectic and caused me to put the virtual racing on the back burner as well as Assetto Corsa still in need of major updates and bug fixes which stopped any actual racing going ahead.
Now that the winter months roll in, I plan on taking some time to sit down and re-aquaint myself with the new version of Assetto Corsa and hopefully do some online testing as well as build a new car livery set, since adding G33k-e.com to the sponsors. There is a preview of the new 2015 livery below, which now keeps the traditional black and green but also adds an electric blue to the scheme. Still looking to fill the side of the car (next to the Vermin Art logo) with a big sponsor ,so if you want your logo to appear on the car, let me know and I will work something out, also have to tweak things on it before picking out the cars Vermin Racing will race in each class and then design the new liveries for the chosen cars. I already have a preliminary list of cars I would like the team to compete with.
I am also hoping to get some new drivers on board for any online races. So even if I cannot commit to a full season of racing, at least my drivers will be able to.

I have been doing some testing with the new version of AC and it has really impressed me with all the new features and the handing physics. It's a punishing game on the highest realism settings and when racing hard, it's not difficult to snatch a brake into a corner or run slightly wide on an exit of a curb on worn tyres and end up pitched off the track, which is fantasticly realistic. The damage model still needs work as does the penalty system and in some cases AI (but let's be honest it's more about the human racing element than the computer one). A career mode is a nice touch to waste some time on but it's not my sort of thing, I would rather race out and out instead of progress slowly through the class system to get to the cars I like. It is a great way to learn the new tracks and hone your racing skills though.
I plan on doing a couple more twitch sessions of the offline racing modes so when I put them up I will let you know.
