Tyre Pressure Compensation (very Important!)


FREE stable race setups & simplified setup tweak guide image 4

ACC is often joked as a tyre pressure simulator, and there is a good reason for it!

You have to keep the tyres in the 26.0-27.0 PSI and 75-95°C window during racing.

The setups are usually based on the fairly standard 23°C ambient 30°C track temperatures, but you have to compensate if the server you are racing on has different settings.

Tyre pressures and temperatures are linked, the hotter the tyre the more inflated it become. You need about 1 careful outlap and 2 fast consistent lap to reach the final pressures/temps.

There are two settings that is effecting them the most. Initial pressure and brake ducts, first we just concentrate on the pressures itself:

1. Check to what temps the setup was done for.

2. Compare it to the current pressures.

3. Compensate the tyre pressures by the opposite of difference. If the current temps are 2°C higher than the setup's, you need to decrease 0.2 PSI in all 4 tyres.

After this, go on and drive 3 consistent lap on the track. Check the pressures at the finish line of lap 3. For normal tracks they should have 26.5-26.7 PSI pressures, on fast tracks 26.7-26.8, on tracks with nasty curbs (Imola, Oultonpark...etc) they should be 26.8-27.0.

If any of the tyres aren't in that window, change the initial pressure on the setup page to be closer to that.

Simplified Tweaks

Please note, that most of the time if you want to make the car easier to drive with setup, it will probably cost you pace potential. Hence the first solution i'll suggest is driving technique, if it's strictly over your skill level only then try to change the setup. The order of listing is important, only do the first one and if the issue is persistent then do the second...then third...etc.

Don't change anything until you set the correct tyre pressures and temps!

Oversteer:

High speed - when applying the brake:

-Be more gentle with the brake. If you are high speed cornering and braking simultaneously you shouldn't press the pedal suddenly and sometimes much less than max pressure. If the track allows, try to do most of the braking in a straight line, then you can (and should) hit the brake to 100% abruptly.

Increase brake balance by 0.2-0.4%

Increase rear wing by 1

Decrease rear ride height by 1-2

Increase front spring rate by 1

Increase front bumpstop rate by 1-2 & decrease front bumpstop range by 1-2

Low speed - when applying the brake:

-Be more gentle with the brake... :)

Increase ABS by 1

Increase brake balance by 0.2-0.4%

Decrease rear ride height by 1-2

Increase front bumpstop rate by 1-2 & decrease front bumpstop range by 1-2

Increase front spring rate by 1

High speed - when releasing the brake:

-You have to release the brake gradually! This applies to any braking situation, even thou you'll only face the immediate consequences if you do it while turning with high speed.

Increase brake balance by 0.2-0.4%

Increase rear wing by 1

Decrease rear ride height by 1-2

Low speed - when releasing the brake:

-Release the brake gradually...

Increase ABS by 1

Increase brake balance by 0.2-0.4%

Decrease differential preload by 10Nm

High speed - while coasting mid corner:

-If the temps are correct and you haven't touch anything, this shouldn't be an issue with these setups.

Increase rear wing by 1

Decrease rear ride height by 1-2

Low speed - while coasting mid corner:

-If the temps are correct and you haven't touch anything, this shouldn't be an issue with these setups.

Decrease rear anti roll bar by 1

Increase front anti roll bar by 1

Decrease rear ride height by 1-2

High speed - while accelerating from the corner:

-Be more gentle with the throttle. (Usually i set the car up to cope with aggressive inputs, but there are a few tracks where you have to compromise some of the corners.)

Increase rear wing by 1

Decrease rear ride height by 1-2

Increase TC by 1

Decrease rear bumpstop rate by 1-2 & Increase rear bumpstop range by 1-2

Decrease differential preload by 10-20Nm

Low speed - while accelerating from the corner:

-Be more gentle with the throttle! (Usually i set the car up to have good acceleration from corners, but everything has it's limit.)

Increase TC by 1

Decrease differential preload by 10-20Nm

Decrease rear anti roll bar by 1

Increase front anti roll bar by 1

Understeer

Please note: I highly unadvise to do these changes, unless you really know what you do and just using my setups as a baseline!

The amount of understeer in these setups are intentional. Either they are there to compensate the balance change of the car on the long run, or because some part of the track just need that amount of understeer.

If you are constantly feeling understeer, then most likely you are trying to overdrive the car! These setups usually have soft suspension, which result a calm driving but reluctance from sudden input. Trail brake more and try to be smoother, not just throwing the car into the corner.

High speed - when applying the brake:

-You are asking too much from the car, it has a limited grip which you either use to slow down in a straight line, or slow down a bit less if you still want to turn meanwhile. Release the brake gradually as you apply more steering input.

Decrease brake balance by 0.2-0.4%

Increase rear ride height by 1-2

Decrease front bumpstop rate by 1-2 & Increase front bumpstop range by 1-2

Low speed - when applying the brake:

-You are asking too much from the car.

Decrease brake balance by 0.2-0.4%

Increase rear ride height by 1-2

Decrease front bumpstop rate by 1-2 & Increase front bumpstop range by 1-2

High speed - when releasing the brake:

-Trail brake! Or you are just asking too much from the car.

Decrease brake balance by 0.2-0.4%

Increase rear ride height by 1-2

Decrease front bumpstop rate by 1-2 & Increase front bumpstop range by 1-2

Low speed - when releasing the brake:

-Trail brake!!!! Or asking too much...

Decrease brake balance by 0.2-0.4%

Increase rear ride height by 1-2

Decrease front bumpstop rate by 1-2 & Increase front bumpstop range by 1-2

High speed - while coasting mid corner:

-Take the corner a bit slower.

Increase rear ride height by 1-2

Increase rear bumpstop rate by 1-2 & Decrease rear bumpstop range by 1-2

Decrease rear wing by 1

Increase differential preload by 10-20Nm

Low speed - while accelerating from the corner:
