ACR | 0.6 | Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evo - Monte Carlo - Sisteron - St. Geniez | TV Replay | 4K

Back to Monte Carlo in Assetto Corsa Rally v0.6, this time taking my favorite Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evo through the short but technical Sisteron - St. Geniez stage. But this run also became a test of something I've recently changed in my driving setup, combining my sequential shifter with a manual clutch. And the difference through the tight corners and hairpins was much bigger than I expected. 🇮🇹 Delta Integrale + Manual Clutch My Fanatec shifter isn't currently in the best condition, so I'm trying to avoid using it in H-pattern mode while rallying. Because of that, I've mainly been using it as a sequential shifter. That works perfectly well for most situations, but I started noticing one problem in tighter stages: through very slow corners and especially hairpins, I could sometimes let the revs drop too far and car would bog down on the exit. On a short and technical stage like Sisteron - St. Geniez, those moments quickly add up. So I decided to enable the manual clutch while keeping the sequential shifter. And boy, oh boy... that made a difference. 🦶 Clutch Kick to Keep the Revs Alive Now, when the revs start dropping too far through a tight corner, I can quickly kick the clutch, bring the engine back into the rev range and get the car accelerating again instead of waiting for the power to recover. It's a small change to the controls, but on this kind of stage it can save seconds. It also gives me another tool when approaching very tight hairpins. Instead of relying entirely on gearing and hoping I don't let the engine bog down, I can use the clutch when necessary to keep the car alive and ready to accelerate out of the corner. For this run, it immediately felt much more effective. 🇲🇨 Short Stage, Big Difference Sisteron - St. Geniez may be much shorter than the 18 km Col de Turini route where I recently drove the Delta, but its technical nature makes every small mistake costly. There's less opportunity to recover lost time, so getting clean exits from the slow corners becomes even more important. That's exactly where adding the manual clutch has helped. I'm still using the sequential shifter, but having direct control of the clutch gives me an extra option whenever the Delta starts losing too many revs. And with the HF Integrale Evo already being my favorite car in ACR, finding another way to enjoy and extract more from it certainly isn't a bad thing. 📊 Run Summary 🎮 Game: Assetto Corsa Rally 🔢 Version: v0.6 🚗 Car: Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evo 🇲🇨 Rally: Monte Carlo 🛣️ Stage: Sisteron - St. Geniez ⚙️ Shifting: Sequential 🦶 Clutch: Manual 🔧 Technique: Clutch kick to maintain/recover revs in tight corners 🎥 Camera: TV Replay 📺 Resolution: 4K 🏁 Conclusion This started as another run with the Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evo, but it ended up showing me just how useful adding the manual clutch can be. Since I'm avoiding H-pattern use with my Fanatec shifter for now, the sequential + manual clutch combination looks like a very good solution. On fast sections, I can simply concentrate on shifting normally. When I reach a tight corner or hairpin and feel the engine beginning to bog down, I now have the option to kick the clutch, bump the revs and get the Delta accelerating again. On a short technical stage like this, that can make a surprisingly big difference to the final time. Sometimes finding a few seconds isn't about changing the setup or taking more risks. Sometimes you just need another pedal. 😄 Never Give Up. #AssettoCorsaRally #ACR #ACR06 #LanciaDelta #HFIntegrale #MonteCarlo #Sisteron #SimRally #Rally #4K
