Assetto Corsa gameplay - Alfa Romeo 4C. A lap around the Nordschleife Endurance course in what has to be one of the prettiest cars of recent times - as long as it's red.

I knew that the car had lapped "The Ring" in real life in a time of 8m 4s so I was looking to try and get under 11 minutes on the endurance layout, which bearing my uneasy relationship with the Green Hell, my unfamiliarity with the car and Assetto Corsa in general, seemed like a pretty tall order.

However, I surprised myself on the second attempt with an 11:04.588 - not quite there, and certainly not the quickest ever but close enough. Enjoy the video, a full replay follows the live on board lap just to show off the exquisite little 4C to best effect.
