Make sure you pick up the poop before you jump on...

If you want a good idea on how this twitchy death machine runs on the track AND a sort of benchmark to go by for the Nordschleife, check out Jimmy Broadbent's video on his run.

Granted, his build of the lawnmower is a tad older than the current release as it lacks tire details and gagues, but it should still be exactly the same in terms of speed and handling.

"Nordschleife" Having fun running it around Laguna Seca.. Not really the vehicle you want to be using to learn Nordscheife.. It is a twitchy booger!

 

[The_Tigg]

I couldn't get the damned thing to go in gear!

 

[Highbank]

If you can't handle a lawn mower how can we trust you in a full on race car?

 

[The_Tigg]

You can't handle the truth!

 

[LieutenantHardhat]

One lap is enough! Still a very fun experience, though.

In other news, making custom liveries for AC is a real pain! A guy just wants some flecktarn on his lawnmower - a silly skin for an appropriately silly vehicle.

 

[M_Nesevitch]

Good lord, it takes over 10 minutes to do a lap?? Do they still use that track for races? Wish I had the patience to learn it, but that's an awful lot of corners.

 

[The_Tigg]

Just do it already!

 

[M_Nesevitch]

Im skeered..

 

[The_Tigg]

Quit whining and just do it.

 

[M_Nesevitch]

You first..

I know you are, but what am I??

Nanny nanny boo boo!!

 

[Highbank]

You kids get off my lawn!

 

[M_Nesevitch]

Fine! But I'll be back when it's dark...

 

[Highbank]

So will my dogs

WOOF WOOF

I will admit I went slower than I probably could have because I was doing everything in my power to keep that son of a gun on track using an Xbox controller. And I hit the wall here and there.

The video I posted higher up in the thead by Jimmy Broadbent lapped the Nord in 8:12.948, but A) the man is crazy, B) the man has a full simracing rig with a wheel and pedals and a VR headset, C) he has more experience behind the wheel in AC than I do, and D) the man is crazy.
