A couple of important announcements ahead of our pre-season league race:
- v2.6 of the ACF1 car has been released. We’ve made some adjustments to the tyre wear and added a few more skins, but your existing setups are safe ;)
- There is a package of compulsory apps you must install to take part in the league.
All drivers should download these files from the updated ACF1 Required Content page.
Meanwhile, our pre-season test event will take place at Melbourne, Australia – download link is in the league calendar. We’ll be running a 40% distance (23 laps) race, and we’ll also try some practice starts before qualifying, to hopefully make turn 1 a bit safer ;)
Here’s a highlights video of the race, thanks to @YuckierDragon :)
There’s a mandatory pitstop to the other tyre compound, right?
Nope, you could technically drive on one set of tires the whole race, since the game does not have a way to enfore it. But since it’s a 40% race, I would suggest you would do a pits stop :P. Also you could only drive with one type of tire. Or chose all three of them if you feel like it.
I was wondering, and I’m too impatient to wait until this evening.
Do we have to turn on stability assist on by ourselves, or is it on automatically on the server?
If you’d like to use stability assist, you have to turn it on yourself. You can do this by choosing practice mode from the menu, configuring your assists in the session setup bit and going to track – then your assists should be kept when you go online.
Naturally, it’s completely optional :)
Thx
I’m guessing everyone uses it still.
Maybe that’s why my times have been worse. Hopefully.
Some drivers do use it, quite a lot don’t. Your laptimes will catch up a lot once you’ve driven more laps, simple as that ;)

grab some beer and chips and enjoy! A lot of action in this one.
Nice video, Good job men
Thankx Carlos, much appreciated :)
I will try to make a compilation video of all the coming league races for everybody’s enjoyment.
thx for the video, enrico :P
what concerns me a bit is the high amount of incidents when people try to overtake.
especially in the first few laps there were lots of preventable crashes if you ask me.
hope people keep a cool mind in silverstone, the races are long and mostly there is no
need to force things.
Spot on. You can only lose the race on lap 1, and I’ll be reminding people of this :)
