What shitstorm? Nothing but cheers at the forums...!
You've got fun times heading your way Fordie! I bought into AC in its early stages and I've been mesmerized since. Have also been on the pCARS testing for 2 years by now, but AC shifted my focus, totally. Mainly because it is the only thing out there reminding me of LFS (as far as physics go). And it drives even better! (at least with my brain and hardware setup combination) .
I would happily drive those tracks, if I didn't know how the supposed author obtained them. He's frequented several other communities I'm involved in, the things he "makes" are most all stolen from other sources, and aren't usually good quality anyway.
I'll wait until some legitimate tracks come along.
So what things should I do first, I.e setup wise (GFX, Wheel, Settings in Game) etc etc as I know there is some hardcore AC drivers out there, so any tips to get me on the road, in quick smart time, would be greatfully appreciated.
