![]() ![]() We’ll have a deep-dive into tyre pressure specifically in another article coming soon. ![]() Success! 1:27.252 – that’s a time gain of 1.614s after one setup change! Proof that tyre pressures are perhaps the single most important setup tweak you can make and should be the starting point to all custom setups. Cold pressures adjusted to ensure optimum hot pressures how much time will this gain me? This allows the tyres and brakes to warm up to optimum levels so you can judge the pressures correctly.Īs you can see, a best lap of 1:28.866 isn’t going to set the world alight or impress my Nomex-clad teammates, so what can I do to improve this? Well, looking at the hot tyre pressures I’ve got in the above screenshot, my tyres are massively under-pressured, so that’s an obvious place to start. Ideally, these should sit between 27.3-27.9 PSI when hot, and the best time to judge this is after a minimum of three-four laps of competitive driving. My first big piece of ACC setup advice is to make sure the tyre pressures are within the optimum range. Knowing Donington Park well, it didn’t take long for me to get familiar with the circuit, and after eight laps I was ready to make a few changes to improve the car‘s handling. The first thing to do is take the car out on track and gauge how it feels on the base setup. It’s always best to change one setting at a time, give it a few laps running to properly evaluate the car’s behaviour, then decide if you need to change anything else. One issue that many inexperienced sim drivers face is changing too many settings at once. Also, ensure you’re using the same fuel load for each run, and keep an eye on your on-screen tyre widget to see if your tyres are running too hot or too cold – this may require adjustment of the brake ducts to get more or less heat running through the tyre carcass. In this example, I’ve gone with ambient and track temperatures of 12 ☌. In this example, I’m using the Bentley Continental GT3 at Donington Park GP – which is part of the recent British GT DLC – with the default ‘Safe preset’ setup programmed into Assetto Corsa Competizione.īefore creating a setup, make sure the track conditions are consistent – there’s no point in creating a setup for track temperatures of 40 ☌ when the race you’re doing is set to be 10 ☌. It can be the difference between winning and losing picture taking a last-lap victory as the person ahead burns his tyres up because he’s using a super-oversteery setup, while you saunter serenely by after developing a more conservative platform.īelow, I hope to offer a few simple tips to create your own setup from scratch, with the aim of knocking a whole second off your lap times (or maybe more!)
