In this video i'm showing how to get a Perfect Race Start in Assetto Corsa Competizione. You gonna learn how to warm up your brakes, how to get a better aceleration in the green lights and which places are better to get after the race start

 

There is only one way of getting a perfect start for me... Which is not crashing during the first lap. Unfortunately, there is not much you can do most of the times really.

Heating by braking at the same time as you accelerate was something I do sometimes, although I think in real life that should worn your brakes out quite a lot. I wonder if that's how they do it in real life racing, I honestly doubt it taking into account the duration of the races and the time they spend under safety car conditions.

Thanks for the video anyway!

 

Ineed, I don't think that overhetaing brakes just before the T1 is a good idea... of course if game is calculating it in that way.

 

Absolutely yes. There are some cars (for example the McLaren 570s GT4 if I recal correctly) where the electronic cuts the throttle if you go on the brakes but other than that you can. In this video you can see James Baldwin (esports player and real life British GT GT3 driver last year) doing exactly that. There's a video when he is also talking about it but I could find the exact point/video.
(@2:37)

 

He does it for just a second or so, not constantly as the video suggests us to do. Actually, what I can see him doing is accelerating/braking, which is what the video tells you not to do. So what I can see is a pro doing exactly the opposite of what is being suggested, actually...

 

While I like getting a good start, as was suggested above, I will prioritize getting through the first couple of corners.

The tires and break will help greatly getting a good first lap, though. So I still do try and get the temps up.

 

Actually he does both....
As I said there's also a video of that series (or that video but at a different time stamp) where he explicitly talks about braking and accelerating at the same time. I haven't watched the video in the OP so I'm not judging what he suggests.
My opinion is that alternating accelerator and brake is more effective to heat up the tyres but you can't do it when the cars are bunched up so the only way to still generate some heat is doing it at the same time (and you can in the real cars without any problem)

 

watch the first lap of this race and see how the driver warms the breaks , very similar to the video

 

# Brakes : decelarate/slow down cars
# Breaks : Car is on pause / something is "fubar"

 

I have found that warming the brakes and subsequently the tires by holding like that is really good but I've never thought of holding it to get a bit of a launch off the start.

 

Mates, just an explanation about brake and acelerate.. of course you can't do it for a long period to not warm up the brakes too much.. i suggest just do it in the moment that the limit of velocity is showing (if you didn't before) if you warm up before don't do in the race start.. another point is: this is still a game (don't forget it) and we need to extract the maximum advantages of it.. sometimes somethings are different of real life..

 

Great video and advise. I use this technique since 1 1/2 years when i changed from a g29 to a fanatec setup and never went back to my old habits. And it's not just to heat your brakes and tires faster but also to get an advantage in your reaction time when the light goes green. Comparing a g29 to csl elite pedal set u need a way longer distance on those csl's to get the throttle to 100%. So i just keep it at 100% before start and modulate my brakes till its showtime. And another tip- if u got a full formation lap and wanna get your brakes and tires perfect before start,pack some extra fuel(around 2-3 l )

 

Excatly mate! This is the point! And very nice the tip about full formation lap adding extra fuel. Thank you!
