Victoria Secrets Greatness epoch has always and is here to stay. Timers and Runs will be very pleasant with this Grand piece of Engineering. Balance between front and rear end increases control and reduces understeering effects.
Let’s be realistic though, when it comes to developing our setups, camber and toe angles, brake ducts, and even tyre pressures, all of them factors are taken into account in the processes.
Based on all this, this Ferrari setup will provide such control and such stability that you will have never seen before, and this will enhance your confidence level while driving the car to its limits.
Honda NSX GT3 EVO Spa Setup Compatibility
These Spa Honda setups work on PC, PS4/PS5 as well as Xbox.🎮
For PS4/PS5 & Xbox however, that will not work for you, instead you will need to just go through the procedures outlined in the “PS5 & Xbox Readme” that will accompany the zip file after you have downloaded the setup.
Honda GT3 Setups ACC Version
This Honda setup conforms to the 1.10 Version of ACC and it is going to be modified immediately once new significant Physics or BoP changes come to the game which would be about every 6 months or so.
You will be given a couple of email notifications in case fresh new setups are upated, so don’t even fret about having to buy new setups each time a new ACC update is done.
Useful Information About The Setups
The qualy setups come with 4 laps of fuel, including the out lap, which means that there are three flying laps available to set the fastest time.
It is also important to consider that the rise of tires and pressures have already been optimally adjusted for that fuel amount in order to get the best grip and aero downforce.
From experience especially during the race – where tanks are filled to the maximum, the car is naturally more oversteer so, rear ride height gets lowered by 1 to 2mm.
Also, the brake ducts are added by other teams, they get more “opened”, in order to cool the brakes, and then the tyres, rear especially, because it would help tremendously in hot conditions and high degradation circuits.
Proper Tyre Settings After Major ACC 1.9 Update
With the 1.9 tyre update installed, you should find yourself being able to find the peak of the tires for grip performance on the 2nd and 3rd push lap so don’t panic if the tyre pressures show slightly lower than normal on the 1st lap, especially in the sector 1 and 2 in spa.
By the way, an additional feature that came with the 1.9 ACC tyre update was the operating window in which the pressures could lie, which has extended between 26.0 to 27.0 PSI now – however it is advised to keep the pressures in the last two push laps of qualy in a higher range (26.6 to 27.0).
Although it is preferable to use high pressure settings (for example 27.1 or 27.2) rather than low pressure settings (for example, below 26.0 as this becomes quite slippery during the last few laps) pressure settings should be kept between these two intervals.
This is the same principle for the race stints, because they will have to be in the correct range for the most part of the stint, even though it is recommended to keep pressures in a lower range (26.6 – 26.9 on average ).
But always remember, given the level of pressure loss and tyre deg over 45 mins race stints, you always end on lower tyre pressures which in this case could be under around 26 in the end.
We recommend that you think of starting with almost maximum setups of around 27.1-27.2 as towards the end of the stint these pressures can be optimized. The chances of tires graining will thus be lowered, and the chances of grip loss as well.
This will allow one to pull some decent tire life actions, allowing for consistent lap times that are all close to the personal bests.
It should be noted that when ventilating brake ducts, the duct will be allowing the brakes to cool down during the straights and thus this will impact the pressures too which will be critical.
In fact for every step in the brake ducts (say from 3 to 4), you need to go up or down with pressures by about 0.2 PSI depending on the track.
Adjusting Tyre Pressures And Brake Ducts Looking At Air & Track Temperatures
When at Spa races in ACC, please make sure to change these pressures according to the air and track temperature 🌤️ of the server session you are currently in.
Many setups are already put in place with air set up at 22° and the track at somewhere between 🌡️26° and 27°.
However we can never be sure, conditions slways keeps changing and so we should be prepared to adapt.
A general tale regarding the rule of twos would be for every ±1° in the temp of air, there is the opposite of ± 0.1 PSI in the pressure.
Consider this, for example, if you’re doing an online race and the air temperature is 27° while the track temperature is 33° For such a situation, you will have to reduce the pressures by around 0.4 PSI and may even have to use the brake duct setting 1 more ‘open’ if you are noticing brake overheating 🔥.
And vice versa if out of the lamppost temperatures for ambient air go towards 18° 🥶 and track temperatures go down to 20° like a night race or probably early morning of a 24h, you would then be performing the opposites (+0.4 PSI on every tyre).
Which means, increasing the pressures to 0.4 PSI on every tyre and possibly the use of 1 brake duct more ‘closed’. For example, if the previous setting was 3, it will be changed to 2.
How About Fuel Load? How Much Should I Run With The Honda 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 Honda GT3 at Spa?
Our Spa Francorchamps Honda 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 Honda at Spa 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 Spa.
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 Honda GT3 around Spa.
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.
