    Really love this McLaren, one of my favourite cars in the game. I like Paul Ricard to, it doesn't get much love in the game but I find it a great track for racing these cars.

    My previous best time for this combo was a 1.42.4. I was able to improve by about a sec which I was happy with. I started with 71298729491284 tune for bh but I couldn't get in the zone with it. I tried Steve Smiths tune for goodwood and then played with the settings a bit. Adjusted psi and fuel of course. I set the gearing to the shortest set. Then I adjusted the springs (one click stiffer on the front and one click lower on the rear) and lowered the ride height a bit (from 10 to 6 in the front). Increased camber to -2. Increased the diff power to 55. I think I moved the brake bias back a click or two as well. Any changes I did after that just made me slower.

    Still need to work on being consistent and try to reduce overdriving. With how I'm driving this car, it likes to oversteer a lot. It's fun, but not contributing to the goal of setting faster times.

    Turn 1 is tricky to get consistent for me. I need to work on the braking zone and ending up at the green patch on the left.
    Turn 2 is weird, visually. I'm not able to consistently hit the turn in at the right speed like in the video.
    Turn 3 I feel like staying in 2nd is the right idea and just focus on finding the latest braking point and getting the line just right.
    Turn 4 is also tricky, I want to start wide on the right side and late apex through to the exit so that I can accelerate earlier for the straight into Turn 5, but the delta meter tells me that I should shorten that turn and pretty much follow the tire markings-ish.
    Turn 5, 6, 7, and 8 are fun, I really just want to brake and throw the car into these turns and just guide them to the exits. It's pretty much an exercise in discipline for me to try to do these as smooth as possible.
    Turn 9, I want to do the same thing, I'm honestly just having trouble being consistent with the braking point and amount to get the right line without getting oversteer.

    Default setup except tire pressures.

    Hi @Jo0 [SkAnkin] Welcome to the WHC if this is your first time posting! I watched your video and I noticed a few things that might help you be a little quicker.

    Firstly, you seem to lift and coast a bit before applying the brakes and you only seem to use about half the braking capacity according to your pedal app. No need to save fuel in a hotlap scenario :)

    Secondly, your using the default setup which is not ideal. I can tell the gearing is wrong - try setting the gearing so your top speed is 208km/hr. The car looks very loose in the caboose, which makes it hard to put the power down effectively. Adjusting the ride height and spring rates will help tighten it up. Adding a bunch of negative camber will help the front end bite and get it to go where you want it to.

    I would suggest adjusting the brake bias backwards a click or two at a time until it starts to feel the way you think it should. You could also try reducing the braking power a few clicks. Adjusting those will help you to not lock the brakes as easily.

    A good tune can be worth a couple of seconds over the stock setup in general, and customizing your tune will help you to be able to hit your braking points more consistently. Generally, I only do 2 or 3 laps at a time then I restart because the tires are starting to wear. 13 laps is longer than most races I participate in :D

    I tell you what, with four challenges and three types of car, I spent large parts of the weekend in quite a confused state, paranoid about totally muddling the blizzard of entries. Or worse, leaving someone out!
    Happily, at 2pm on Monday morning all seems to be cool, so let’s assess where we are (and what we need to do now!);):)


    Monday’s “Times on the tables”


    Assetto Corsa:

    6. Laughing Gravy - 10.09.663 PS4
    7. Stan Getz - 10:27:108 PS4


    Headlines
    Fourteen entries by Monday is rocking!:D

    Down at Brands Hatch....

    What @GoodGame.eXistenZ neglected to mention in his post is that, (using an alias,;)) he has put the world record 3/10ths further out of reach! 1:41.4 moves to 1:41.1.
    And just in the nick of time!
    @Pretend racer crosses the line with a 1:41.4! Surely he is going again, the unthinkable is within reach!! Surely....
    Welcome to the WHC @Jo0 [SkAnkin] !
    Good to see you and I hope @Pretend racer 's kind advice is helpful.

    Otherwise it's looking early days and we've all found our little space!


    Over at Paul Ricard....

    There is the 6 LAP club and the 5 LAP club, for those with slightly less stamina/ enthusiasm.
    Considering this is a multi-lap challenge it is very close in places!
    Following a small improvement from and 11mins 40secs, @mike reynolds leads the way with six laps and 11.39.1. He's followed by @sissydriver up by 4 secs and Bastian (@P308R) who is now on his fifth crack at the challenge and flying the flag for the consolers.


    It's only Monday, no reason to panic.:)

    Oooooh, but so close to #6.
    Welcome! I notice in your screenshot that you have grip at less than optimum. 96% might not sound like much of a reduction, but it's shocking how much that will hurt your times.

    ROFL! Yes indeed, much care required before hitting "Post reply" :D

  13. Thanks for the warm welcome and all the suggestions. This whole time playing AC, I've never played with setups. I usually just pick a combo and lap, only recently have I been adjusting tire temperatures.

    I've managed to get a setup with the car that I like and got a 1.45.536, but it was rather messy.
    I'll just post the screenshot as I feel that I can get a 1.44.xxx or a 1.43.xxx.
    I just need to clean up the lap.

    I only ever take a picture of the screen with my phone and upload that. As TW has pointed out before it doesn't show up too well in these pictures.

    The screen is there at the end of the video too for extra proof. :)

    This challenge is great. I really like ACC; how it feels and how immersive it is. I have never, never got into a game like this.

    I know a lot of people on console are having terrible issues with it and I can only sympathise with them.

    For me though, it's working exactly how it was intended to.

    Possibly my favourite WHL of all time.


    EDIT: I've just realised my ambient temperature and track temperature are 20C.

    I did think I'd followed the instructions properly. Ah well, I guess I might have to have another try later in the week. ;)

    That's what mine comes out at as well...not sure if you have dynamic weather enabled if it makes a difference. The weather scripting is great in ACC if you use dynamic weather....if you people on console have not yet got round to doing a proper endurance length race, with say cloud cover at 40% and variability the same then I highly recommend you do....

    I'm hoping us PC bods have a small advantage this week having had more exposure to the Paul Ricard circuit! (famous last words no doubt!). Loving this hotstint rather than hotlap though....but 2 goes is enough for me in one day, I cant keep up this level of intensity!

    Struggling to get under 1:57 laps at Paul Ricard, need to stop tinkering with the car and learn the track :oops:

    Talking of the car it’s so much better to drive than the cup from last week, it doesn’t try to kill me at every corner!!

    So much to learn about driving these cars, it’s going to take some time to get up to speed for me it seems o_O

    Temperature indicated in the loading screen seems to be what TW has quoted, on track it gives me 20/20 at 08:00 this can be seen in other screens shots as well.

    Oh my, I'll have a go at the Escort at the weekend, love that car!

    But had to try the macca..

    First went out and did about 2 laps to see where the psi was, restarted to make an adjustment then this was the first go
    May well have to have another few attempts, any excuse not to practice the horrible Ferrari I am racing tonight :D
