Convert your car setup to different tracks
Assetto Corsa Competizione
You have a car setup for a track. Maybe you got one from me or somebody else.
How do you convert a setup to a different track?
I take my setups everywhere on different tracks and adjust them instead of constantly coming up with something new.
Currently, I'm brainstorming for the Nordschleife DLC to understand what kind of baseline I need for that track.
We know it has long straights.
It has corners that will and shall kill you.
There’s a lot of elevation changes and a lot of bumps and kerbs.
To find speed on the straight, we need less wing than normal maybe.
If you have fast corners that will kill us, we need stability under high speed.
To catch the bumps on track, we actually need some range on our suspension to absorb those bumps, but it cannot come at the cost of stability. Long ranges will give you more grip but in combination with low wheel rates this will cost you stability.
This is what I would do for the Nordschleife.
Take your Paul Ricard setup. If you don't have one, build it up from Arnout's preset. Here’s how you actually do this:
Take Arnout's Preset:
Ride height minimum on the front.
Take your wing angle to 50% of the slider and the front you do to minimum.
Test it out on Paul Ricard and see how stable it is, especially after the first bend after the long straight.
If it is stable enough but it's understeery on corner exit, you could decrease the brake bias and put a bit more ride height on the rear of the car.
To make your Paul Ricard setup suitable for the Nordschleife, you can change the following things:
Increase ride height: Provides clearance over bumps and kerbs on the Nordschleife's undulating surface.
Add bump stop ranges: Enhances suspension travel to absorb bumps without compromising stability.
Adjust wheel rates: Fine-tunes suspension stiffness for improved handling and response on the challenging Nordschleife circuit.
Test this setup on Oulton Park if the balance feels good you have yourself a baseline for the green hell that is coming out next week
