ACC | I Don’t Have Time For This 😩 LFM GT3 @ Zolder
Рет қаралды 8,122
Жыл бұрынHello everyone, welcome back to Assetto Corsa Competizione on Low Fuel Motorsport for a Coach Dave GT3 Sprint race that turned out to be a proper struggle.
Earlier this year, I started making encouraging progress in this sim. But I’ve taken a massive step backwards here at Zolder, in my first ACC race since the recent 1.9 physics update.
I’ve qualified 24th out of 26 on the grid - the only reason I’m not last, is because two drivers didn’t put in a time. Watch this one through your fingers… it might get embarrassing!

Thank you mate, yeah that was exactly the thing I was aiming for when I started doing videos. I watched loads of other sim racers on KZfaq, but all with replays at the end… I found I’d half-forgotten the incident by then, so thought it’d be cool to insert a tv-style replay straight after, while the incident is fresh in the viewer’s mind. Thank you for watching 😃

26-27psi and 26-26.5 gives precision and 26.5-27 gives reliability so most players do like 26.3 on front and 26.8 on rear

you did quite well, you just had your pressures all wrong. keep them between 26 and 27 and you should be able to reach top 10. and if you're committed to one car and don't wanna try others anymore, I highly suggest spending 20bucks on a pack of esports setups by gosetups or coach dave academy. you don't need to do that to be fast, but it helps a lot.

Thanks Bill, yeah I do sometimes think I should stick to one sim, but whenever I try it, I soon get bored and find myself missing my other games! I constantly hop between 4-5 sims these days, which means the odds of me getting good in any of them are pretty low. I’m cool with that, but I want to be competitive at least. Here, I wasn’t even competitive! Although it now sounds like I got my tyre pressures completely wrong, which would explain it. Another reason why I struggle with ACC - it’s so dependent on setups, and I’m not really a ‘setups’ kinda sim racer. I’m all about the fixed setups 🤣

Hi Chris, just started watching your ACC videos. As MrKlaw said in his comment, your race commentary is amazing, also love the instant replays to show all the incidents at the time they happen, rather than at the end. Please continue with ACC as it is refreshing to see another racer who is not winning all the time or setting amazing competitive times which is common with many of the other You Tube car racers you see online (i.e James Baldwin, RA Shadow, Rory Alexander etc). I started ACC about 6 months ago and average about 6-10 hours per week. My times are nowhere near as good as yours so I still have a lot of work to do. I have not attempted online racing yet but LFM seems to be a bit of a demolition derby. Apart from the very competitive times how do they preserve their safety ratings? I touch a car and instantly lose 2 safety points. Looking forward to more action races.
@chrisrogerssimracing Жыл бұрын
Hi Julian, thanks for getting in touch, and for the kind words too 😃 This was the exact reason I started making videos… I wanted to be a relatable option for the more casual, amateur sim racers. Good to hear you’ve started ACC, and I hope you can work your way up to giving online racing a try. The competition on LFM can be very fierce, so it’s quite intimidating when you’re starting out. But the key is to play it safe… pick and choose your battles wisely. If you suspect someone might be dangerous or out of control, just let them past… it’s better to lose one place and stay on track, rather than trying to defend one place and have your race ruined. Good luck, and keep me posted on how you’re getting on 👍

The beauty of iRacing over ACC, for me at least, is the fixed setup race option. Fixed setups are perfect for my ‘hop in, hop out’ approach to sim racing. It at least gives me a fighting chance to be competitive. The setup focus in ACC is fantastic, but it does take a lot of practice and hard work to become a specialist - something that I won’t ever be! 🤣

Don't feel too bummed about struggling in ACC. It handles quite differently to other sims and it does take getting used to. Some may have commented that with the 1.9 update you need to get the tyre pressures within 26. Also I've found that reducing the bump rubber so the springs actually get the chance to work makes the car behave like it actually has suspension. Either way you make very entertaining sim content.

I feel you Chris, I really do. Not only makes this field of very inexperienced drivers around you hard to race but what you said last is unfortunately the truth. ACC is definitely not the sim to jump in and have some fun. Making setups are crucial and a lot of practice essential. That is coming from someone who's casually playing ACC for 2 1/2 years now. Though not everything is dark on the horizon. First off your tyre pressures were way too high since that has changed in the last big 1.9 update. The new optimal pressure range is now 26.0 - 27.0. The lower end for more grip but more heat and wear and the upper end for more tyre longevity and less heat that comes with a little less grip. Also try out the new Ferrari 296. It is by far the easiest car to push right now and feels a whole lot different than any other car with it's massive aerodynamic grip. Maybe that car suits you more than the M4 which is now the second easiest car in the game.
@chrisrogerssimracing Жыл бұрын
Thank you, yeah I was completely unaware of the new tyre pressure requirements when I did this race. But now knowing that played a big part, I’m not quite so despondent about it! I wondered why so many people were driving Ferraris in this race too! That would explain it, if it’s the easiest to drive! Haven’t had a chance to race since this, but I’m hoping to soon 👍
@snappedbydan Жыл бұрын
Don't kick yourself mate, this week has been a huge adjustment for everybody. The M4 particularly seems sluggish now. But the new tyre model is so much more pedantic and sensitive. I can actually feel sidewall flex in the R8 now. This was seemed particularly messy for whatever reason. You are right though, ACC really does require practice and commitment. Tyres should be between 26 and 27 psi now, with lower being slightly better for qualifying and higher for a stint. If you feel tyres are going off too quickly take more time warming them up, as they will grain of blister easier otherwise. And you may also have too much toe/camber/caster dialled in which can cause overheating too. You can open brake ducts to help keep tyres cool. Sorry if I'm teaching you to suck eggs there but these things have really helped me preserve tyres in the Audi.
@chrisrogerssimracing Жыл бұрын
Haha thanks mate, no you’re certainly not teaching me to suck eggs! I’m completely clueless when it comes to setups, it’s why in the other sims I tend to stick to fixed setup races. I just ran default setup for this race, and tweaked the tyre pressures - but was aiming for 27.7 psi, not realising it had changed with the update 🤦🏻♂️

Hey Chris - that was almost a carbon copy of my last race at Zolder. I qualified P19 - only because the other guys (20, 21, 22, 23) didn't qualify. I managed to finish in 13th place - not because I overtook anyone - they just kept leaving the track ahead of me. It's particularly frustrating for me because this is the track I finally qualified for LFM on. I wisely qualified the day before the ACC update. Since the update I can't reach the same pace - I keep sliding. Sheesh.

Thanks Dave, I’m relieved to hear I’m not the only one! It seems from lots of comments on here that the old tyre pressure targets are no longer working.

It’s a pain, keep having to do these tyre pressures. I much prefer fixed setup races 🤣

Thanks mate, yeah I was completely unaware that tyre pressures had changed so dramatically when I did this race. I’d set mine up to aim for 27.7 (and even then, messed it up so that they went into the 28s!) I haven’t had chance to race again since, but I’m looking forward to giving it another try with better tyres! Thanks mate

I'm the same with ACC. Really struggle with it. Although I'm not great at any of them, I have been having more fun with rFactor 2 but this week's Porsche races are undrivable because of just how poorly optimised rFactor 2 is, with serious frame rate issues on my poor RX570. Although ACC looks much better, it performs way better than rFactor 2 on that card. But you're clearly from the same stable as I am: "Drive smarter, not harder."

Funny you should say that, I’ve noticed a lot more stutters and momentary frame rate freezes in rF2 in recent weeks. It never used to be a problem. This week I dialled down my graphic settings a bit, but it was still there. ACC does look great… but it’s so bloody hard to drive, and time-consuming to practice!

Chris, don't fret too much. ACC is the only sim I race, and after 5 months, I'm still a noob at it. My first top-10 finish was last week... in 10th. If you're playing casually, and alternating between different sims, I wouldn't expect you to be driving alien times on every race. Your races and commentary are some of the best KZfaq watches out there! I hope you stick with ACC, as I would love to find myself in a race with you. 🙂 One thing I've noticed in a lot of your races is other drivers making lots of mistakes. How often are you punished for doing nothing wrong? I know LFM is a step better than open lobbies, but I wonder if you should join a casual racing club. I've found one and the friendly community and fair racing makes for a much better experience. We do one race a week, and races alternate each week between a practice sprint and a points race of various formats.

Ahh thank you Eric, glad you enjoy them. Yeah actually I joined a league when I first got ACC, and did that for a season. Sadly the community folded. But it’s a great shout, might help me enjoy it a bit more without the pressure of the LFM lobbies where everyone is so insanely fast!

As mentioned before, seems like you missed the memo about the new tyre-pressures and temps (operating window is between 26 and 27 psi - temperatures between 70 and 100 degrees Celcius). Either way, pretty much every race on this track regardless of split has been a complete sh*tshow with people punting and divebombing right left and center, so i wisely decided to give this week a complete pass (Valencia races are just as bad if not even worse).

Hey Chris i'm not sure if you're aware, you should make changes to your pressures since nowadays the optimal are around 26-27.0, anywhere inside that space is good enough. Usually take care of that with the temperature. Actually crazy to see how people do not know how to drive. Might as well be slow but consistent than to be fast, aggressive and dangerous. I'm also slow but I rarely put myself into accidents too

I would advise checking an update video whenever you have time to check, there were also other small changes to setups Also be aware that your wheel is clipping a lot (the red bar below your TC and ABS on the right), so you're losing detail on the ffb
