Since a lot of us do races in ACC doing our best to make XGN proud. I thought we could use a tread to discuss upcoming races.
For example next Monday is a sprint race at Hungaroring. I'm currently maxing out in the high 1:46's and want to know how far off the pace I am. Specifically looking at Wally here since he is about the same pace as me. Bueller can maybe add the info of all the shortcuts he seems to be finding :P

If you can afford the time to get on the rooz Wednesday night server they do a couple of short sprint races, practising for the next Monday race. Krunch and I have gotten our Lexus to a 45 flat, Cooper has 44's in the Lexus. There was one Aston at in the 45's. And of course the fast guy's in the 42's with Porsche, McLaren etc. They usually have a chat afterwards about set up or places to gain time. A couple of things that stood out, raising bump clearance a bit, not too much that it ruins aero, and you can gain some time over a couple of curbs without them bouncing you off track. Careful on the chicken curbs though, take a lot of the first one and not too much of the second to get a good run out. Minimise wheel spin for good exit speeds on most corners, so some set up adjustments, tc settings for some cars and just plain old getting a good line for some of the corners to maximise exit. TC I'm pretty sure they say said something about tc1 & tc2, like reducing tc2 a fair bit but not so much tc1 but that's car dependant anyways and I'm pretty sure they said not to use too much tc cut in the Aston because of lower torque or something. Kcender said his porsche would severely scrape the front spitter on curbs if toooo low, he also mentioned about the really precise line needed in some of those curbs/corners...so that counts me out of the 42's lol. O'Hara said to reduce the negative camber a bit, and I've found that to help a bit even in AC. I usually also try to move my brake balance back a bit without it being too sketchy so as to increase stopping power and the effects of trail braking. I'm sure the pro's tweak that stuff on the fly but that's too much for me.
Anyone here that wants to try out ACC casually should get on rooz on Wednesday nights about 8ish pm nsw time, might need to register first though, not sure it's an open server.

I normally only get a bit of prac in on Sunday. But whatever the aliens are doing, just add 3 seconds to get my time ::)
-
I'm doing around about 46. PB is 45.9.

Damn, I was hoping to be a bit closer :(

Those guys thoroughly go over the data and probably know what they're looking at lol

Well that was a disaster ;D
Race 1 got hit by a bus on the second corner. Race 3 got hit by a Wally. But still had fun, was privileged to view a good fight by JLynn coming through the field.

That was pretty wild, that big bunch heading into the chicane, after I tried to go around the outside in the previous right hander. I severely ran out of room and then bounced/skidded off that bump on the exit kerb.
-
Looking forward to Suzuka. From some online laps it looks like the mid-field are going to be extremely close :)
-
Finally a early pit stop paid off ;D
-
Next race at Paul Ricard. Should be fun however if you go off-track at T3 to T5 section don't take shortcut. On Wednesday people were getting drive through penalties even if they lost time going offtrack there!
-
I'm about to jump in a first CP race, conveniently at Suzuka.
-
I came 3rd out of 13 (only because the guy in front of me ran out of fuel with a couple of corners to go). My CP rating is now... 1! Woo hoo.

Beat you with a 2nd. However the winner was 20 seconds ahead of me :-[
Also found out if you go into your stats it will give an ELO rating.

I would not mind competing in a season.Maybe soon .....ye. By the way,my best time at Paul Ricard is 1:59.6. Can you match that wally?? lol

My PB with race fuel is 1:56 flat. You need more practice ;)

Hey Wally and Mael! Any chances to share any of your race setups?

My time was with the safe preset setup (in the 2020 Ferrari). Just adjust tyre pressures so that hot is about 27.7. (27.4 to 28.0 optimal range).

With the Lexus, on either default set I could manage 56's, downloaded this set https://www.setsbase.com/ecommerce/all-c56797006/lexus-rc-f-gt3-paul-ricard-murphys-sim-racing-p234755390 and started getting into 55's, then started watching the vid here https://www.setsbase.com/ecommerce/all-c56797006/lexus-rc-f-gt3-paul-ricard-matt-kennedy-p285056848 over and over trying to mimic the on screen movements. I've realised I wasn't turning my wheel enough at apex like in the vid (probably to avoid graining/blister) and I've now set a PB of 55 flat, times were with about 50L. Keen to test low fuel tonight. The main differences from default in the set is; almost fully lowered ride height all round, softer front springs, increased front bump stops and almost no rear wing.
-
Thx a lot guys!!! Good tips. I have done few laps at spa and my wrist is already sore. Time to buy Microsfot flight sim!!
I will try to do few laps with your tips on my mind and see what happens. ACC is pretty fun!
-
I tried the default aggressive setup in the Ferrari (the aggressive setups are normally pretty good), but at PR the car was very nervous and didn't like kerbs at all. The safe setup suits me better here, in the long run.
-
Gonna be some precipitation, at least on Wednesday practice there was, assuming tonight server is set similar

With my setup I'll be dead in the water if there are any rain, took all the wing off. Gambling with a low wing setup ;D
-
Qually was wet/wet tyres, race was wet-ish/slick tyres from memory, I'm getting 55's while dry with low wing but might not race with it like that if it is slippery. Had to pump up those slicks for the race quite a bit too.

Well I'm doing 1:46.7 for Monza and I don't think it is going to make the cut :(

Lol yeah, meant 1:49.7 ! Would love to be in the 46's ;D

Well, I might be seeing a bit of you then. If I make it through lap 1 in the mid pack, that is.

You can always join in skipping the first chicane on lap 1. That way I'll just do a pit lane drive through while everyone else have to stop for repairs ;D

Monza, a tale of woe and misfortunes. Predictably turn 1 was chaotic with madmen late brake heroes but the worst were a pileup/parking lot at the second chicane, had to bail out onto the gravel to avoid other drivers crashing into me and causing damage. That left me 35th out of 36 and 5 seconds behind the pack.
With a shoulder shrug I set out to recover. A early pit stop to avoid traffic turned to add further misery as I emerged behind the 4th place driver which was having a horror patch, he must have over-cooked his tyres and could barely keep it on track!. As a lapped car I could not pass him, just had to watch the time count by.
Then, as by miracle, after the pit stops were all done I found myself in 18th and rapidly catching the pack containing Wally. And just as I was about to fly past them the blinking red light come on. LOW FUEL!!! So with no hope to make the finish I slowed down, allowing the leader to lap me on the finish straight on his last lap. Meaning I go went over the line with 1 liter spare and still in 18th ;D
-
I wouldn't care if I never raced at Monza again (although last night was a good race).
