Generic Weekly Hotlap Challenge #252

I tried again today and still the same problem. Gonna try to report it. We'll see.

 

Got it sorted! My clutch somehow got inverted! Ill get some laps in today

 

So whats the bench mark from 1.7 vs 1.8? Is it about 0.5-1s slower now per lap?

 

I’d say around a second on average….might vary in certain conditions though

Tricky car around here, need more practice. I had one bad lap in there as well.

V1.8 seems like there's definitely more nuances with the grip. But it feels good overall. The curbs definitely are way more interactive and defined.

Some tweaks, but not the cleanest run. First lap was terrible

Apparently, I've made mistakes in all laps. Updated to v1.8, not sure what to expect as I had not driven this car before, but I felt it very understeery and felt much less grip outside the racing line. Makes any sense?

Last lap invalidated due to abusive kerb riding.

I can share my setup if you want to give it a shot.

I found a base aggressive setup to understeer a lot as well

 

The ST doesnt have as much DF as the GT3 car if I recall. It definitely feels much more raw than the GT3 Lambo

 

They are essentially the same car, just with differing aero types, weight and power output.

For instance, the ST runs a four-fin diffuser and side canards. Whereas the GT3 sports an almost flat, six-fin diffuser with additional blades each side of the apron. They also have differing rear wings which, due to their mounting, mean a differing rear end. The GT3 also has huge blade skirts, the ST smaller wave style. And even the front end, the GT3’s is completely redesigned over the road car it is based on, where as the ST has the side intakes removed.

The engines are exactly the same, differing power configs - GT3 around 500, the ST 611. The gearbox is the same XTrack, six-speed sequential - but crucially, the GT3 is lighter.

I’ll stop now, I’m even starting to send myself to sleep.

 

I’m in the 08’s for lap time if I can keep it together without spinning, just not sure if I’m going to get another chance.

 

I love the details!

 

I can manage low-mid 9s but im overdriving beyond that.

 

Thanks for the offer, but I don't think I'll be able to simrace this weekend, lately I've been working a lot.

Regarding graphic setups, I'm on a 4K TV, AC runs well on 4K, but in ACC I first had to reduce the resolution to full hd and let the tv handle the upscale to 4K, but quality was not good. Later I let ACC upscale from full hd to 4k, with similar performance and better image quality. Now I'm experimenting with FSR in performance mode (equivalent to upscale from full hd to 4k), I couldn't notice quality differences nor performance, except about once every minute a sudden drop in fps, as if a frame had frozen for a while.

Later i'll do a more scientific comparison to reach conclusions.

I run ACC on a 4K TV as well and with the 3070 I can hit between 80 to 100 FPS average on mostly epic settings with foliage and fog set to medium or low.

Experimented a little bit with dlss and even with it set to quality mode I gained 10 to 15 FPS. Each mode up from that gain an additional 5 to 15 FPS. This was well cruising around suzuka in the lambo.

So from regular AA I was getting around 85 to 90 and with dlss on quality I got around 100 and then moving it up one step at a time I got it pretty much all the way up to 135 FPS on average at 4K

Managed to do only 5 laps on basically stock setup- no spare time atm. So lots of room for improvement for sure.

Reading that consoles had an unfair advantage this week, I thought I'd try it.

Unfortunately, I have the contradictory disadvantage of being a bit ****.

Good fun though.
