Let us test your skill in racing the Honda NSX GT3 EVO at Valencia track.
You already know that if you want to compete in robust competition such as in online ACC racing, as elite amongst the elite, you have to fight to the top.
The question is, what is stopping you from getting a chance with a proper setup? Why waste time on free mediocre Youtube setups or the aggressive presets provided by the game?
With this ACC setup pack, you will level up and be able to set purple sectors in no time – let’s do it! 🚀
Honda NSX GT3 EVO Valencia ACC Setup
- Laptime: 1:30.08
- Temps: Air 22° – Track 26°
- 3 Qualy & 3 Race setups Included (META, eSports & SAFE setups)
- Aggressive WET Setup with enough fuel for 5 push laps
- Pit stop time loss calculation table and optimal tyre/brakes temps table included
Set PBs & Grab P1 with the Honda GT3
Along with the aggressive preset of Ferrari GT3 setup’s lap times will help you grab p1🏆 with rotation and increased stability.
More stability along with balance between the front and the rear end ensure that over heating of the tyres and their degradation in Valencia is less and this is essential in order to maintain the required pace in today’s highly competitive online races in ACC, AOR or LFM.
Different variables are looked at when designing our setups, including tyre pressures, brake ducts, camber and toe adjustments, among several others.
Taking all of those elements into consideration, this Ferrari setup will provide more stability and control than ever before which will enhance your ability to push this car to the edge.

Useful Information About The Setups
The drivers are instructed to set up the qualy setups on the load of 4 laps including the out lap which means they have 3 qualified laps to try their best time below.
Do keep in mind that the tire pressures and ride heights have been designed based on that fuel so as to increase the grip level and the aero downforce.
Once again, the setup usage and the weight of the car at this stage should also be kept in consideration. Usually, under race conditions with a completed fuel tank, the car is oversteery and the typical value for the rear heights is reduced by 1-2mm.
They can also be called brake ducts which usually get more “opened” for brake cooling and therefore also tire cooling especially for the rear ones since it helps massively in warmer conditions and high track degradation circuits.
Proper Tyre Settings After Major ACC 1.9 Update
After the 1.9 Setting update you should be reaching the apex of the 2nd and 3rd push laps sweet spot in grip performance so don’t worry if tyre pressures appear a bit lower on laps if Lap 1 is sector 1 & 2 Valencia.
After the 1.9 ACC tyre update, the minimum recommended operating pressures for the last two push laps of qualifying have been raised to 26.6 to 27.0 PSI. However, ideally, vehicle pressure should be within the 26.0 to 27.0 PSI range for the last two push laps of qualifying.
It is also better to set pressure between 27.1 and 27.2, rather than between 26 to 26.0, which is likely to be very slippery towards the last few laps of the race and the first two push laps of the qualifying session.
For the race stints, keep a check on the tyre pressures and ensure that they are in the right range even though there may be pole positions just about on the average pressure range of 26.6 to 26.9 printer on the segments.
With rubbers from plan A eventually resulting in the losses of air pressure and degeneration, pressures may drop on average 26 PSI. 26 C should be the pressure goal on the longer segments.
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to consider running a little over pressure at the start (for example 27.1 – 27.2) that will then optimize for the later stage of the stint thus reducing the possibility of tyre graining and loss of grip.
This helps in saving the life of the tyres and thereby ensuring that one’s lap times are consistently closer to ones Personal Best times.
Always remember that with an increase of brake ducts, the brakes and as a consequence the tyres will cool down the straights which will then influence the pressures.
In fact, for every step in the brak ducts say for example step 3 to 4, then or whichever step pressures have to go up or down every time based on the track by around 0.2 PSI.
Adjusting Tyre Pressures And Brake Ducts Looking At Air & Track Temperatures
ACC Valencia racing, makes me want to shout: modify the pressures according to the air and track temperature 😇 of the current server session you are in.
The setups should now open when air temperature is set to 22 degrees, with best track temperatures ranging between 26 to 27 degrees celcius.
But conditions never remain the same this is why be always mentally be prepared for change.
Generally speaking, regarding the air temperature and pressure, for every subdegree in air temperature, there will be a deviation of 0.1 PSI in pressure.
For instance, you race in an online event with ambient temperature at 27° and the track temperature at 33°. In such cases, try to reduce the pressure settings by 0.3 PSI or even 0.4 PSI and make 1 more brake duct ‘open’ settings if it appears that the brakes are very hot.
Now if there are drastic changes in temperature, for example if the air temperature is 18° and the track temperature is 20°. You may have more drastic temperature inputs during a night race or during the early stages of a 24 hour race. In such postures, you need to increase the tilt by 0.4 PSI on each tire.
This system will allow for an increase of 0.4 PSI on each tire, which leads to going 1 brake duct closer in rotations to the closed setting as effectively bring the numbers from 3 to 2.
How About Fuel Load? How Much Should I Run With The Honda GT3?
As earlier explained, the qualifying setups always include 4 laps of fuel along with the out lap.
While there only is 2 litres of fuel available, in hotlap mode, this should not bother you, lol. 😅
For the qualy run, if the fuel pressure alarm🚨 is shown in sector 3 of your last flying lap, do not be worried as you will be able to end the lap and immediately after press the Return to Garage button.
In the very unlikely event that you don’t have enough fuel in the last two corners, simply put, add one more extra litre to the tank.
How Many Setup Files Are Included For the Honda GT3 at Valencia?
Our Valencia 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 Valencia 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 Valencia.
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 Valencia.
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.
