AC GT3 @ Road Atlanta - Sunday 28th June 2020

[Raresch]

@Chris Down You will have to sign me out. I will not be able to race. I am waiting for a mod to fix the pedals and i have no patience to race with pots that spikes from the deeps of the earth to the heights of the moon in milliseconds.

 

[uvraver]

hi Chris
can I change to the R8
it's the only car I can get the tyres to work on.

 

[nash112]

[Bertje]

[Chris Down]

Anyone have setup tips to make the car more compliant over the curbs? Specifically for the 650S but general suspension adjustments appreciated

I watched @Chris Down's world record lap and while it doesn't bother me that he's so much faster, it's frustrating that if I take the same line the curb spits me out like a....not very tasty thing

Inside curbs at turn 3 and 5 the difference makes me laugh and then cry

It depends a bit on your driving style, but you want to play with the fast dampers for that

I also don't usually take the kerb at turn 3 any more, it isn't really faster. Still pretty aggressive on 5 though.

Found this a while ago on RD Chris, have always found it useful - re Chris's reply above, you'll find info on fast boing and reboing on the last page, hope it helps

 

[Medilloni]

Such a great combo Chris, thanks for organising! - I'll have me a Macca please

 

[butcher85]

Cheers @Medilloni and @Chris Down !

Beyond the basics i.e. wings and gearing it's all a bit too much for me

I'll have a play with the rebound damping - that setup guide was good but I kept getting distracted by the pictures

Can any one offer some tips for the pit stop? I am really new to AC and am wondering if there is a special procedure to them?

Welcome Marko! Are you talking about trying to access them through Content Manager?

Thank you. Have not installed content manager yet. Maybe that’s what I need. Like to access the practice server.

Thought at first you access via game itself

Yes, you access it from the game, or Content Manager. In the game itself, go to Online, then search for Race Department. Give it a few moments and you'll see it load up. Make sure to enter the password to access the lobby.
