- I've been meaning to start this series for a while, and since you all asked for more cinematic content, and more classic cars I thought now was as good a time as any. So please enjoy the first of a new series looking at cars, circuits and sims that are anything but new, but still deserve our attention - starting with one of my favourites, the Porsche 908 in Assetto Corsa.

I had the privilege of attending the ‘69 Le Mans and watch this exact car dice for the last 2 hours with Icks in the GT40, which took its last victory by 0.4 secs.
Now if I could only get my hands on a spider version of the 908 in AC. It was dominant car in ‘69. Thanks for your knowledgeable coverage.
Great idea for a series!
The 962 in AC is perhaps my favourite car in simracing, another one of the "You Should Drive"s.
Heh, likewise, gotta spread out the Porsche's though ;)
My gosh, this video is visually GORGEOUS! You, sir, are a Sim Artist. Add the fact that the content is engaging and informative. Well done, and you have motivated me to go find these cars in my AC list. Thanks!
Thanks Bob! Much appreciated - enjoy your drive !
60s Sportscars were so elegant
This particular 908 is modelled on the second place car at Le Mans in 1969. I watched the race on live TV. They were overtaking on the Mulsanne straight on the last lap. There has never been a Le Mans like it!
"This Guy" and his movie brought me to my passion for motorsport, when i saw the movie as a child in the early 80s. And in anybody could make a remake of the movie via sim racing, it would probably be you, Chris!
I’m new in motorsport hobby, can you tell le who this guy is (and the movie you’re talking about ? 😄
@VR Driver thanks mate !
@@dodosilent It's quite simple: His name is Steve McQueen and the film is simply called "Le Mans". It's from 1971 and definatly not the best "movie" of all times, but it's authentic racing scenes aren't rivaled until today. Give it a try, you won't regret it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Mans_(film)
@@markusjuenemann I certainly will !
Gotta love the old school cars. No driver aids just pure driving skill to muscle and heal ‘n’ toe these beasts around a track for an entire race.
I don't usually leave comments. But I feel like I need to. The videos you produce are truly gorgeous and make me love cars I normally wouldn't. I've been sim racing for just over a year and watching these videos really shows just how special this hobby is. I love your content and have tried to create something similar. But it didn't end well. Anyway keep up the great work.
Thanks Ian, that's very much what I'm trying to achieve with the series. It's early days, but the feedback thus far seems positive!
I bought this game after watching some of your videos(and because it was about 50 pence on steam), I never really fancied it before. It has actually blown me away, the old touring cars are just magic, I cant stop driving them \o/
Nice channel btw. Thanks for the videos :)
The DTM E30 with an H-pattern is my go to car when I just want to drive
I don't have VR anymore but when I did one of my favorite things about these old cars was drafting up close to them and seeing those huge tires on the back. Seemed so real and so awesome.
This is a great car in VR as well, thanks to that massive glass bubble cockpit!
Wonderful idea!
I'd love to see the Zakspeed Capri (Group 5) from RaceRoom in an episode. It's an amazing car to drive now with the recently updated tyre model, and adjustable boost settings!
And the sound it makes... Oh my...
That's a really good shout. I've not driven much R3E recently, so I'm keen to go back to an old favourite like the Capri. :)
Raceroom has a lot of really fun older race cars. Pretty much everything from the Group 5 class could be featured here. Plus the 300ZX IMSA GTO, the BMW M1 Procar, everything from the 90's DTM, Touring Classics, and the two Group C cars.
Brilliant video Chris! This is the kind of content that I personally enjoy the most. Everything looks amazing, both in and out of the car. Great sound and music. A bit of background info, and an idea on what to drive next. Firing up AC now! Stoked for more of this!
What a stunning beauty... another brilliant video, thanks Chris :)
Glorious, Chris.
Talk about box-ticking: this series of Porsche sports cars is huge for me. I long have loved how they look, sound and drive in sims. Compound to that fact I recently finished an hour-long race at your featured Riverside and your silky-smooth presentation (Legends of Motorsport with Alan DeCadenet, anyone??) and this.. is.. King.
yeah that car is lots of fun. I drive it around the old lemans circuit with Ferrari 330s and GT40s.
great fun
I just love the way Chris explains things, it just makes everything a hundred times better
Great video and a great idea for a series. Excited to find out what surfaces next!
I've driven a huge amount of cars in Assetto Corsa and generated my list of favorites, taking into consideration the car's detail and my sense of realism. The 908 is in my list and I look forward to seeing how this series aligns with my other cars. It includes the Lola T70 mk III, Merc C9 and Lancia LC2 to name a few. This game never ceases to amaze me and your videos add to the enjoyment of this hobby.
Thanks Wayne - honestly there's an almost endless list in AC alone, and when you start to factor in other sims, I can't see myself running out of inspiration any time soon!
Beautifully crafted and polished. Thankyou .
The lotus 98T is still one of my favorites to drive in AC, it wants to kill you almost constantly, but its so much fun ! Possibly a future video about it ?
Ohhhhhhhh the 98T! love that car, also probably my favourite car in ac!
Definitely a favourite of mine, though I have to have had a decent nights sleep before I drive it!
Yep
I'm currently learning how to drive it with no tc....with a controller :)
Its very hard, but im now able to drive a semi competent lap around monaco without hitting anything :D
(ofc, no stability control)
Chris Haye: "You should drive this car"
me: *"write that down, write that down!"*
Superb video. Always a fan of your video editing and making the cars always look so glossy and gorgeous. I feel the need to give this a bash 🥳💪🏼
Quality content! I'm excited to see what you will do in the upcoming year.
Thanks for mentioning the rivals for this cars. I've been looking for some old school racing to do in Assetto Corsa and this looks right up my alley.
Wonderful video Chris!
Looks like I finally found a sim racer who prefers the older machinery. A rare breed, indeed. Keep up the great videos like these.
I do indeed. Though, I have been a bit distracted by ACC of late, so it's nice to get back to the good stuff! :)
Beautiful!
Great video! Love it - more please!
Classic Chris Haye beauty shot visuals going on in this video. This is why I love your channel man 🙏🏻
Great video. Really enjoyed it
So beautiful. And that goes for the the cars, as well as the video. Thanks!
You are a gentleman & a scholar Chris! Really appreciate Your videos! Historic significance combined with Direct to the point highlights & with an artistic flare. Top Drawer Brother!
I wholeheartedly agree on Your choice of the 908! A sweet ride! Many smiles per gallon along Your way :)
Yey, AC! Nice idea for a series.
I've rediscovered AC in the last few months because of the amazing tracks by FatAlfie (Fonteny, Feldburgring, Deutchlandring, Thomson) and Lilski (Riverside, Bridgehampton). I've curated an install for myself dedicated to the golden era of sportscar racing ('62-'71). Obviously, the Kunos 'carset' of 908, GT40 and 330P4 are a great base of well matched '60s content, even if the P4 and 908 never crossed paths in real life. Throw in the odd Jaguar XJ13 (thanks Mantasig & Aphidgod) and a couple of other 'less legitimate' mods of the era to fill out the AI grid and there's a superbly varied field who's strengths and weaknesses differ on each circuit.
My only regret with Kunos' Porsche pack was that we got the 908LH, which is great for the Monza in game (and 'Le Grand Circuit') but not the 908 Spyder which would better match those competitors on the twistier circuits.
Quick question, if I may - what settings have you applied to Aphidgod's excellent T70 Spyder to get it to play nice with the others?
Very curious to know which other cars and games we'll see in this series.
Sim rig on order and awaiting delivery. Can’t wait to try this out. Great content, you’ve got me hooked.
Thanks for this video, I tried the car after a very long time and it's absolutely wonderful. I'll be driving it a lot in the coming weeks, or even months!
Great video Chris!
Great video! Looking forward to more in this series. Keep up the great work! God bless and rock/race on.
Thanks dude!
Your content is 2nd to none. Thank you.
I enjoyed the video, thanks Chris. In the midst of all the new releases by the awesome AC community, we are inclined to forget the golden oldies. Off to race the Porsche 908 now... 😀
Great idea for a series! A lot of great forgotten sim cars out there.
Yeah, exactly - I could do one of these a week for the next 3 years and never worry about running out of inspiration!
Man does your AC looks good. I wish mine did as well:) Also loving the fact you mention some of its story, it brings back the Ferrari vs Ford memories!
Thanks! There's no big secret to the look. Shaders patch + SOL on a 4K screen. I think a lot of the 'look' comes from knowing how the lighting looks best and selective shooting / editing to get the look I want for the cinematic stuff - so perhaps not a totally representative view of the entire AC experience :)
Whatever the case maybe, great work mate:)
Great video as always Chris and anytime there’s a classic Porsche, I’m sold 👍
Wow. The cinematics here are incredib;e. Seeing this car drive at Goodwood was simply breathtaking to watch for me, having seen sportscars of that era racing there twice IRL, even if there weren't any 908s in either of the races
Great video Chris 😮
Thanks Jan!
I remember you saying you wanted to make some AMS2 content. I recommend doing a YSD for some cars over there. There are some real hidden gems in that game that some people might never get around to driving. Stuff like the Rocco P3 car for example.
Yeah great shout, that's by far AMS's biggest strength. The last AMS2 video I did was essentially saying "ignore the GT and F1 cars and drive all the stuff you've never heard of!".
It's a little pedestrian, but I can't get enough of the Caterham Superlight. The handling is just so bang on. Plus, with the tiny proportions and open cockpit, racing it in VR is what immersion is all about. That sim just keeps getting better.
Yes, this is a great series, Chris. Sometimes I'm a bit lost on something to drive and I just revert to my favourites. This is perfect. Like reading an album review and then listening to the album to make my own thoughts.
That's a wonderful way of looking at it - I may steal that! :)
I've always been super curious as to what software you use to get those cinematic shots.. incredible.
Just Assetto Corsa with the shaders mod and SOL. I've been using the Drone Camera mod recently, which is a great workflow improvement over the stock cameras.
I was just going to ask that! I'll have to try that drone camera. I'd like to have some looping car porn from AC footage on monitors around my man cave / race room once I have the space. The car models are so beautiful and its hard to appreciate them during a race or even watching the replay
just the default "tv" replay cameras
There's a fairly simple config setting you can change to free up the camera. I'm sure I recall Chris talking about using an xbox controller to get smooth camera movements using the analogue sticks...?
07:48!! Chris is in the early morning grindddd :)
The cinematography in this video is just awe inspiring, great video as always :))
Great vid Chris beautiful graphics
The background noise at 6:42 literally tickled my throat. Great video mate
This is great
on of the Fav cars in AC!
Your videos are awesome, thanks dude
Thanks dude, much appreciated :)
I think the Alfa 33 Stradale deserves a mention in a future video. That thing is like a tiny riot. It has a 2.0L V8!
Yes, this!!
Historic racing is never out of fashion! I do enjoy the odd GT3 race or whatever but the less electronics the better for me. My first car was a 1275gt mini, you could really feel the road, didn't even get a car with ABS until 2004!
Great eye candy!!
You had me sold at the word Porsche :P but really I must give the older cars more attention.
Loading it up right now
Your videos inspire me to up my Assetto Car Photography game
All your videos are awesome, but if you decided to do more in this series I’d be particularly delighted!
Excellent content Chris. Need to revisit AC after a solid year of ACC. Reminds me of going to the Goodwood Revival a few years back. The vintage cars have certain romance that appeals to the racer in me. Would be cool to hold virtual revival in AC.
the old cars are a dream in AC
Great Vid Chris. You always deliver the best high quality sim videos out there. One Q tho, what track is featuring 2:00 - 3:30?
Cheers and take care
It's Riverside from RaceDepartment
www.racedepartment.com/downloads/riverside-international-raceway.9492/
I'm not sure whether its the editing or how you speak or the content, but when watching your content, I'm always shocked at how fast it ended.
Even though I no longer have AC this is a nice video.
looking forward to this series... you definitely should drive...the '67 Russell Alexis Mk. 14 F3 cars
Quintessential Chris Haye video :)
Haha - spot on Pete. :)
Hey Chris,
Great video. This seems like a fun and informative series to continue and I'm looking forward to the next video.
Which tracks did you race on in this video?
I got to see the 908 short-tail, driven by Tony Dean, in the early Can-Am, at Mid-Ohio. Sweet.
Great video! Something I noticed but you're missing a good opportunity with that Windows lock screen to throw a logo or some kind of racing image up.
ive been saying this for years
honestly one of the few cars I genuinely enjoy in AC.
wish i could make a conversion to rfactor 2, i could see myself lapping sebring and lemans in this for days straight
isn't it wonderful when a car just fits your driving just right, a car maybe you never would have thought about before,.
Different but good!
I am waiting for more to come. Sadly we don't have much opportunity to race vintage race cars (especially touring cars) in simracing. And it's shame. I love driving these cars as it is just so much more fun than in anything modern. The general idea of ballancing these cars on the edge, with old tyres that requires much more slip angle to get cornering speed. It feels like learning to feel the car and understand it instead of trying to be laser precise and remember all braking points with great details.
I suggest the Nissan 300zx IMSA GTO from Raceroom! It's one of my favorite cars in all of sim racing. The looks, the noise, and how it drives are all so, so addicting.
This type of cars are some of the cars I rarely drives, maybe its time to take another look!
It's a fantastic car.
I only sim for vintage racing, nothing else. Never run a GT3 etc. I stop at group A. But my hard on is the 30's racing. Vintage is king!!
As someone once said on another CZcamsr's channel: Porsche 908 LH - the original L O N G B O I.
Rather ironic to have a lingering shot of a Goodyear sign as the racers fly past, given that the 908 was on Dunlop tyres - but then, Goodyear now owns Dunlop...
Bless you for the Riverside content. My favorite track and I watched a few races there in person. "Remembering Riverside" is one of my favorite Facebook pages. (shameless plug)
"whatever this was"
ME: im tired im gonna listen to my favourite tunes
CZcams: your gonna drive, but not anyhow your gonna drive like its your first time as far as funk goes.
I don't want to know how many hours it took you to record all this footage and edit it 😅 excellent job, it just looks beautiful!
I only have three simple words for you today, Chris.................... SUPERB, JUST SUPERB!!!
P.S, Also just wondering if 2021 will turn you into a "Super Hero?". You know................. It's a Bird, It's a Plane, no, It's......................... 100K MAN!!! (Here's Hoping ; )
Your video are really great. AC is still such an awesome sim. So much great mods to choose from, can keep you well occupied.
Edit: what track are you driving at during most of the video?
Drive that baby on Deutschland ring, Riverside (in video), feldtberg or bridgehampton or any other vintage track and man, it is simracing heaven.
Are you going to do the iRacing 24 Hours? THis was fun to watch adn I can not wait for the next episode!
Would be cool to go down the line of Porsche’s “prototype” lineage, such as this, the 917s, the 906 from the updated AC Legends GT Classics pack, all the way up to the 919.
I have to try this car again one time and the 917k is nice as well in AC, unlike the Porsche 911 GT1 they totally f-ed up I think. The McLaren F1 in AMS2 is great, both of them. The last time I looked I was still holding the Nordschleife record with both and was a hell of a ride:)
Chris...you are SO adept at making a very sensual 7 minutes worth of racing heavan. I do love your style. OBTW did you ever find that JAG you were looking for? Please share if you did.
Hey Chris, G’Day from Oz. Lovely work as usual.
Question: How do I locate a text only index of the 260 videos you have created? I am specifically looking for:
1) Some ideas on your video workflow and techniques, and,
2) Any input on getting the best out of the new Samsung G9 Odyssey (1000R - late Nov 2020 build) for AC/ACC.
I have two of these and initially was going to use the second for MSFS2020 but got to thinking how would two go with AC/ACC or even 3...
Any thoughts would be most helpful.
Look after yourselves over there.
Cheers, Jon ✋️
yo yo yo yo Chris
The Porsche-Ferrari-Ford 60s sportscars class in AC is some of the best single-player sim racing you'll ever find!
Chris Haye, Peter Boese and Ilja Jusupov working together to make me play Assetto Corsa more than every other sim combined, once again.
Nothing against ACC for what it does in its niche, but I wish Kunos could find a business model that made sense to turn AC in a "game as a service" like Counter-Strike, Rocket League or Siege. Its encyclopedic content, its extensive content catalogue would be a massive bummer to leave by the wayside. I've grown accustomed to having the liberty to drive anything anywhere (RSS Formula V12 at Avus? Sure! Lotus 49 at Sveg? Why not!), and I dread the rest of the AC experience becoming as outdated as its user interface.
Please do a video covering RaceDepartment user NiceCuppaTea's 1923 grand prix cars! They are an amazing set of pre-war vehicles, and unlike the Auto Union you have reviewed previously, they're powered by far more reasonable 2-litre engines. While they're difficult to control in that uniquely-antiqued way, the three cars are much more manageable and are good fun to race with; even at their relatively pedestrian speeds compared to newer machinery.
Could you also recommend in future "You Should Drive" videos a track where the car shines?
Can you do a video on reviwing hand brakes or comparing them, i am getting starter but i am going straight into drift and i dont know what handbrake is good
Can u go over group 5 cars? That would be pretty awesome
You should drive every car in AC lol
Especially the old turbo race cars like Lotus 98T or the CanAm Porsche 917.
Does anyone have a link for this car download please? Great vid as usual Chris.
I watched a video you had up quite a while ago regarding getting cinematic shots and I know you said you got a more expensive Xbox controller. My question is, do you think a standard Xbox could give a smooth enough effect for cinematic feel?
@Chris Haye Could you please create a video about the proTyres app for AC?
My favorite sim is the F355 Ferrari Challenge for the PS2.
