Go Faster - 2 Gearbox & engine at game&track YT channel

Nice Aris tyvm

 

Very useful video

 

Awesome - I can't wait to put this into practice; thank you Aris!

I enjoyed the first video and found your tips very helpful for getting back to basics and re-focusing on the fundamentals.

 

Again, excellent info on how the setting of the car works with the circuit you are driving and how to work out where you need to be. Beautifully illustrated. Gotta love the DTM Merc, it's a great car to drive

 

Nice, Aris


Shame that your laps didn´t actually showed what you where trying to do, gaining time by playing with gearratios only.
Everything you gained, you did already at T3 on that 1.11:7xx lap @19m40sec.

Rest of the lap you gained zero. But! Of cause, we understood the purpose

Btw, why no clutch in this video?

Thumbs up for doing these vids!

Cheers

 

Thank you

 

If that helps, doing tests for real life purposes I gained 1.25s on a 2:30 lap in a Spec Miata by putting a 4.5 final drive instead of a 4.1 like my car has (so even more with the 4.77 I would put IRL). Nevermind adjusting each gear individually (I cant do that obviously).

EDIT: Keep in mind tho that this is with a very under-powered car that needs some revs to get going. Would be less noticeable with something that has power everywhere.

 

Awesome series.

Keep it up!



Also anyone notice beside Air temperature it said wind speed km/h !!!

 

Yes: https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/i...me-track-yt-channel.44177/page-12#post-863692

 

Nice! Look out Huttu I'm coming for ya

 

Amazing video once more. I didnt even use the power graph before, learn something everyday they say!

 

yep, one more of these videos and we will be on his tail

 

Again very helpful and entertaining. Those 25 minutes passed like nothing. I had no idea that the correct shifting time sometimes is before the red line. Looks like I'll have to check out the engine specs from now on. You really force a guy like me, who doesn't like to deal with the setup, to set up the car ;-) First the tyre pressure and now the gearbox....

What I noticed by practicing some other combos is that it's sometimes difficult to find out the correct racing line though (yes, I'm aware of ctrl-i, but it feels distracting).

 

I feel like I have to flat shift in AC, assuming other people are as well. You can see in the delta the time lost is quite large in a lot of cars. It would be cool if it damaged some components so it is not possible to flat shift during a race atleast, or make it miss the gear We raced the 250F in MP recently and I spent most of the evening double clutching, when I stopped doing this a bit in the last race I was over 1 second a lap faster (could just be that I need to practice double clutch a lot more!)

On that note and while we are talking gearboxes, I would love to be able to map dog leg pattern and 2 seperate seq shifters with 2 more auto use checkboxes for auto use dogleg and auto use seq stick where appropriate.

Edit: It does pain me to do it as well but you can see in MP when other people flat shift and you lift, every shift they get a little jump on you.

 

I think a nice car is the Xbow or the bmw m3 Gr A (not the dtm) and Imola is a nice combo with any car.

 

Try flat shifting in the 2/11 for example, you will ruin the gearbox within 5-6 shifts. Not to speak of clutchless downshifts. So it works, I might say

 

@Aristotelis
Since we are at the topic of powerband:
The Miura graph doesn't really work well with the actual power delivery of the car. The graph implies that you can rev the engine to the limiter, but even in neutral you see that the engine doesn't want to rev above 7500 rpm.

Stock Kunos graph:


recalculated graph by Content Manager reading the actual power data:


Apart from the one for the Miura I haven't seen much difference in other cars.


Of course I understand you shouldn't flat shift a car, but since there is no damage* I'm doing it anyway in AC using manual clutch and H-Shifter.
It gained me 0.3s in the Miata NA on Monza 66 Junior, which is a lap time of under 1:10 s.

*cars that get engine damage by over-revving excluded, like 250F

I flat shifted the 2-Eleven today, no issues here. (yes, damage was on)



And about finding the optimal shifting point.
Sidekick has this function build in since several month now, no need to figure it out yourself, it adapts it's shifting indicator automaticly if you activate the option in the menu.
