Hey guys,
A little introduction first: i have started with AC about 2 months ago. First we had PC2 for a few weeks but it only got "serious" in AC. Platform was PC at first, but it was needed elswere, so for the moment it's PS4. Wheel: Thrustmaster T500R, T3PA pedals. ABS/Stabilitycontrol etc. settings: all factory
Laptime with standard setup is 1:31.06. I am not super consistent, +/- 0.5s is the range, as i sometimes make errors
Question: Quick drivers are 6-7s faster, which is a huge difference on a short track. Of course: i need more practice...
(This video one is just for reference. Apparently done with mouse and keyboard)
GT3 Cup Brands Hatch GP 1:26
He takes corners at huge speeds and brakes way later. For examle the long left at 0:29s.
If i brake that late i have two outcomes: my rear gets upfront because i havent eased up on the brakes enough. If i lift off the brake earlier, i don't make it around the corner due to understeer.
Usually i brake shortly before the last marker, go in to 3rd with low throttle, when the corner closes up i have to coast a little to prevent understeer and then back on the throttle again.
On vallelunga quick drivers take the first 3 corners at full throttle. On the second corner (long right hand with slight banking) i have to ease up a bit and coast before the apex or i end up understeering into the gravel. I don't see what i could be doing wrong on that corner. It's full throttle and not much input necessary.
So i thought my setup sucks. again back to videos which include setups. I see big setup differences but there are not enough setups to see a correlation.
For brands hatch, I reduced the height in the front. Felt a tiny bit better, but bumpy. As a test, i went back up, but this time even higher front and rear. No difference in the bumpy parts. I increased camber, because tire-inside are hotter than outside. Maybe a tiny difference, but i expected more.
I just want to make sure i am not missing something, like "...standard setup in AC is really bad starting point..."
Is there a good setup suggestion Brands Hatch GP? Or am i simply not good enough?
