After hemming and hawing and interating with ChatGPT on various models, I bought a Specialized Levo Comp Alloy gen 3. Cycle sport had a few left in their inventory and had dropped the price to about half of MSRP and built it with an upgraded drivetrain and brakes.

I took it out for its maiden voyage and am continuing to study all its settings and setup options.

Introduction

Assetto Corsa has become my go-to tool for practicing autocross and track craft between real events. With Apple Silicon and CodeWeavers CrossOver Gaming, it now runs surprisingly well on macOS without needing a full Windows install or a virtual machine.

TL;DR: Best day ever for me. I let ChatGPT draft this based on my notes and data for the day.

Location: Laguna Seca Lakebed, near Monterey Bay, CA
Car: 2013 Porsche 991.1 Carrera S (Bridgestone RE-71RS, 32 psi hot)

Introduction

After clearing a lingering airbag fault on my 2013 Porsche 991.1 Carrera S, I decided it was time to explore what the ThinkDiag+ tool could really do. 

My goal: customize how the car behaves and bring a few hidden factory options to life—Sport Plus, Porsche Sport Exhaust (PSE), full-time cluster lighting, and TPMS settings for my track tires.

This project turned into a deep dive into coding, diagnostics, and a little bit of trim repair along the way. Here are my notes to help me track and log my work.

Rig: Logitech G920 • Assetto Corsa (PC) • Parallels/Windows 11 on Mac mini (M4)

TL;DR

I’m running Windows 11 under Parallels 20.x on a Mac mini M4 running MacOS 15.6.

I tried all the suggestions I could find via Google and AI clients to figure out how to get Logitech Ghub working in this scenario. No luck.

So I finally went back to something I had setup years ago; working with the Controls option in AC and that seemed to work in this limited scenario.
