Set PBs & Grab P1 with the BMW GT3

This Ferrari GT3 Setup not only will give you better lap times🏆 and rotation from the aggressive preset but will also help you with increased stability.

Greater stability and balance between the front and the rear end reduces tyre overheating and degradation here at Bathurst, which is key to maintaining a strong pace in today’s ultra-competitive ACC online races such as AOR and LFM.

In fact, tyre pressures, brake ducts, and camber and toe adjustments all take multiple factors into consideration when we develop our setups.

By combining all these aspects, this Ferrari setup will give you more stability and control than you’ve ever experienced, which will boost your confidence when pushing the car to the limit.

BMW GT3 Setups ACC Version

This BMW setup is ticked for the Version 1.10 Version of the ACC. It is expected to be two to three times per year after major changes in the game physics or BoP will be made.

Just resign yourself to receiving some email notices when fresh new setups are simply performed. Do not panic about having to buy new setups.

Useful Information About The Setups

Typically in decisive qualifications, standard qualifying setups use around 4 laps worth of fuel plus the out lap, which gives the driver 3 qualifying flying laps to clock their fastest time possible.

Always remember that the tires and height settings are these numbers in order to adjust the fuel in order to have much the grip level and aero downforce possible.

So especially in race conditions when the fuel tank is full, the car tends to be a little bit more oversteery, so the rear ride height is generally 1 to 2mm lower than normal.

Also, “opened” brake ducts become common so as to ventilate the brakes and thus the tyres, especially the rear ones, and this will be advantageous in hot temperatures and circuits with high deg.

Proper Tyre Settings After Major ACC 1.9 Update

In fact, sme tires can be worn for 1-2 push laps and throphy dew it a little in the 1st one, even at Bathurst, which is said to be worried for those S1 and S2 specific sectors.

Following the 1.9 ACC tyre update, there is now a wider operating window, between 26.0 to 27.0 PSI, while it is ideal to kept the higher range and above 26.6 to 27.0 for the two final push laps of qualification.

It should be noted that it is best to stick to the higher ranges (like 27.1 or 27.2) and not the lower ranges (below 26.0) as those ranges do tend to be very slippery especially in the closing laps of a race or a first push lap of qualifying for the race.

The same general principle applies here with combustion engine where the pressures should be in the recommended range for the most of the race stint, although it is suggested to keep them in a slightly lower range the recommend post-race distance values are 26.6 – 26.9 on average.

However, because of pressure loss and tyre degeneration over a 45-minute race stint, it is likely that the tyre pressures at the end will be lower than ideal, perhaps in the low 26 range.

Start considering runelty higher pressure settings for the start (27:1 – 27:2 when possible) which can be slapped and optimized towards the end of the stint minimizing chances of tire graining and therefore the chances for grip loss.

This will in turn help prolong the life of the tires and hence ensure that the lap times never stray too far from the PBs.

Always do not forget that when you increase the brake ducts as well as the brake the tires also cool down the straights which shall in turn lower the pressures.

In fact, for every step in the brake ducts (say between 3 and 4) you need to raise or lower the pressures by approx. 0.2 PSI for every progression of that track.

Adjusting Tyre Pressures And Brake Ducts Looking At Air & Track Temperatures

When racing in ACC at Bathurst, always remember to adjust the pressures based on the air and track temperature🌤️ of your current server session.

Most setups have been set with air temp at 22° and track temp between 🌡️26° and 27°.

But conditions always change, so you need to be ready to ready to adapt to them.

The rule of thumb about pressure is that for every ±1° on air temp means the opposite ± 0.1 PSI of pressure.

So let’s say you log into an online race with air at 27° and track at 33°, in that case, you’ll have to go down on the pressures by about 0.4 PSI and maybe even go 1 brake ducts more “open” if you see that the brakes are overheating🔥.

Vice versa if the air temps go down🥶 to 18° and track temps down to 20°, let’s say in a night race or early in the morning of a 24h, then you’ll need to do the opposite (+0.4 PSI on each tyre).

This means going up 0.4 PSI on each tyre and possibly 1 brake duct more “closed” (so from 3 to 2 for example)

How About Fuel Load? How Much Should I Run With The BMW GT3?

As mentioned above, our qualifying setups normally include 4 laps of fuel⛽ including the out lap.

If you’re driving in hotlap mode, then you will not have to worry since the fuel is fixed at 2 litres, duh😅

For the qualy run, don’t worry if the fuel pressure alarm🚨 appears in sector 3 of your last flying lap since you will still be able to complete the lap and then click “Return to Garage” right away.

In the rare cases where you run out of fuel in the last few corners, then just add 1 extra litre.

How Many Setup Files Are Included For the BMW GT3 at Bathurst?

Our Mount Panorama BMW M4 GT3 setups pack includes:

3 Qualy Sry Setups (SAFE, ESPO, META)
3 Race Dry Setups (SAFE, ESPO, META)
1 Wet Setup

What’s The Difference Between The META, ESPO, & SAFE Setups And Which Should I Use?

The “META” setups👽 are the ones with the highest amount of front grip, rear rotation, aggressive dampers, higher rake levels and softest suspension settings.

These Meta setups are typically suited for very experienced sim drivers who want the car to rotate on its own so that they can carry high minimum speed and get to full throttle quickly.

They’re not the best go-to setup to choose for beginners since the car, despite being stable, has really got a shit ton of rotation😅, and so would probably make the average beginner lose control driving it.

After you master the BMW at Bathurst and feel ready to level up your lap times, then this is the moment to switch to the Meta setup.

The “ESPO” setups, stands for “eSports” and should be your more stable version of the META setups.

This means it should be chosen after testing the SAFE setup and feeling the need to get some more rotation out of the car.

These ESPO setups have typically got a bit less rake, 1 click safer TC, a bit less rear toe to reduce rotation, similar dampers, safer rear bumpstop range and sometimes also safer rear anti-rollbar from the META setups.

The Qualy ESPO is still an aggressive setup, that should be chosen before taking the leap into the META one.

The “SAFE” setups are the ones specifically crafted for the average beginner or the less experienced ACC player, who still relies on a lot of stability and rear grip to have more confidence in the car.

There’s nothing wrong with using it, also because it will still give you very similar lap times to the other aggressive setups, but with a much more predictable car around Bathurst.

The SAFE setup has got less rake, safer ARB settings, similar dampers, higher TC & ABS, brake bias a bit more to the front, less negative rear toe and a less aggressive bumpstop range configuration.

It should be your first choice if it’s your first time driving the BMW GT3 around Bathurst.

When Should I Edit the Setups?

Our recommendation at SOLOX is always to test each setup well to the limit and only then (after 15/20 laps) adjust PSI and then make small changes.

This is because if you make changes right away before you even test the limit of the car, then they would result in being useless once you finally get to the limit, and maybe need to go back to the initial version.

Remember that in case the server temps are different to the ones recommended, then of course you have to change the tyre pressures right away.

Setup Changes We Suggest You to Do🔧

Excluding changes to the tyre pressures (and brake ducts) based on the air/track temps, these are the changes we suggest you make:

±1.5% Brake Bias (If you want more rotation or more rear stability on the brakes)
±1 TC1 (To Make it Sharper or Safer on Throttle)
±1 ABS (Based On Driver Preference)
±2mm Rear Ride height (To Change Downforce in High-Speed Corners)
±1 Rear Anti-Rollbar (For Low-Speed Mechanical Grip)
±1 Front/Rear Wheel Rate (For Low-Speed Mechanical Grip + Stability Over the Kerbs)

Remember before starting to make changes always have the tyres hot PSI between 26.6 and 27.0 since it’s when the tyre grip is at its highest performance.

One final note, the TC and ABS are set for optimal performance in “normal” dry conditions, but feel free to adjust them based on your preference or the different conditions you encounter as you race.

In fact, if you want to be more conservative on the rear tyres in the first few laps of a race, then go down 1 TC1 from the recommended one, and then put it back when you want to push a bit harder on the tyres later on in the stint.

Make sure you never change the ECU map from where we’ve set it since you may unexpectedly hurt your engine performance and lose time on the straights.
