Mercedes AMG Spa hotlap 2:16.6xx

40 fps, jesus.

 

Three 24'' monitors and a 1060. Would love to have a better you but that's what I'm stuck with at the moment. If you have a spare stronger GPU I would love to use it

 

Suppose to show setup with video dumb dumb

 

I will after the spa race.

 

I know m8, oni playing

 

very cool... there was one corner entry that I was taking differently (Pouhon) and keen to try your approach! thanks!

 

I am at a similar pace but losing it at Eau Rouge. You're really fast out of there. It's not easy for me to go flat out there like you do. I usually lift a bit just to keep the car in stable conditions. Otherwise it would be too much of a risk to miss it.

 

@iVG don't forget to share setup when ur league race is done

 

I will share all AMG setups after league. Promise.

 

thx for share it with us, its impossible to drive over the curbs like @ 1:53 with porsche - wow .... when is your league race? when is set online i will try the mercedes now, never touched this car
GOOD LUCK for your race !!!

 

can someone explain me the values of the preload diff settings??? More to left i mean minus value means more understeer? and otherwise (to the right direction more % = more oversteer?
or is it otherwise: minus % oversteer - plus % understeer ??? i tried so much settings with porsche for eau rouge and also made it higher --- nothing helps ;(

 

No no no that's not how it works.

Preload simply represents the “base” or static amount of locking torque dialed into the system. It is overpowered by Coast (when you are off the throttle) and Power (when you are on the power) setting of the diff. So preload is only really important when you are coming off the throttle, let's say a braking zone, when you're on apex or slightly after with very slight throttle applied or a similar situation where you are neither 100% power nor 0% but somewhere in between.

 

Do you have your wing really trimmed out or something? I am topping out at 262 on the kemmel straight in the Merc after being flat through Radillion with my rear wing at 6, whereas you are hitting 270 easily. I noticed your minimum speed through Blanchimont was 4/5 kmh faster even though I dont lift there either.

Does hotlap mode differ from a normal race weekend speed wise? I am in the low 17's now for a qualifying run on map 1 in a race session, but you seem to have so much more top end and suffer less scrub in the big load corners.

 

Rear wing 5 my friend. Trick is to make the rear planted so you can run less wing overall. Less wing, less drag, less understeer, more grip on the front and higher speed on the straights. Although you lose overall downforce, it is so much more important to have it balanced correctly in front/rear that the actual absolute downforce. Aero balance stays between 0.2 and 0.5 positive.

 

I run the rear end very stiff to avoid squatting which seems to unsettle the Mercedes. My aero balance is at 0.5 negative.

I have run less wing but find i lose too much time in faster corners like Pouhon and Paul Freyer. Is there any benefit to running in hotlap mode compared to a normal practice session?

Here is my setup:

 

...

 

so when i go from gas my tail breaks away suddenly ...so what i do in the settings of preload that dont act so, im very confused ...lower or higher settings?

 

Simply speaking: you need more preload in that case --> higher setting.

Higher lock values - simply speaking - mean more oversteer on -throttle and less oversteer off-throttle. This applies only if you don't have separate lock settings for coast and acceleration.

 

Simple answer - it's most probably not the diff fault that your tail is waging. Look at aero balance and rake angle instead.
