Set PBs & Grab P1 with the McLaren 720S GT3 EVO

This McLaren 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 in Misano, 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 McLaren 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.

McLaren GT3 Misano Setup Compatibility

These Misano McLaren EVO setups are compatible with PC as well as PS4/PS5 & Xbox.🎮

For PS4/PS5 & Xbox though, you’ll just have to follow the steps in the “PS5 & Xbox Readme” that you’ll receive in the zip file once you’ve downloaded the setup.

McLaren 720S GT3 EVO Setups ACC Version

This McLaren setup is up to date to the 1.10 Version of ACC and will be edited as soon as new major Physics or BoP changes are made to the game, so approximately every 6 months or so.

You will receive some email updates in case fresh new setups are upated, so don’t worry about having to buy new setups every time a new ACC update is released.

Useful Information About The Setups

The qualy setups normally include 4 laps of fuel including the out lap, so that means you’ll have 3 flying laps to set your fastest time.

Bear in mind that the tyre pressures and ride heights have been set according to that fuel amount to maximize the grip level and aero downforce.

Especially during the race with a full fuel tank, the car tends to be more oversteery so the rear ride height is typically reduced by 1-2mm.

Also, brake ducts typically get more “opened” in order to cool the brakes and therefore also the tyres, especially in the rear, since it will help massively in warm conditions and high degradation circuits.

Proper Tyre Settings After Major ACC 1.9 Update

After the 1.9 tyre update you should be able to hit the peak of the tyres in terms of grip performance on the 2nd and 3rd push lap so don’t worry if the tyre pressures are a bit low on lap 1, especially here in sector 1 & 2 at Misano.

Also, after the 1.9 ACC tyre update, there’s now a wider operating window between 26.0 to 27.0 PSI, though you should aim to keep the pressures on that higher range and above (26.6 to 27.0) for the last two push laps of qualy.

Remember that for some reason it’s better to be a bit on the higher side (like 27.1 or 27.2) instead of the lower side (below 26.0) since that tends to be very slippery, especially during the last few laps of a race stint or a first push lap of a qualifying stint.

Same thing for the race stints, make sure the pressures are in the correct range for the majority of the stint, even though is suggested to keep them in a slightly lower range (26.6 – 26.9 on average).

Keep in mind though, that due to pressure loss and tyre deg across 45+ minutes race stints, you will typically get lower tyre pressures in the end which could get on the lower end of 26.

So consider running slightly higher pressures for the start (like 27.1 – 27.2) which will then optimize towards the end of the stint, reducing chances of tyre graining and therefore loss of grip.

This will help to extend the life of the tyres and therefore keep your lap times consistently close to your PBs.

Always bear in mind that when you increase brake ducts, the brakes, and consequentially the tyres too, will cool down the straights which will affect pressures.

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 racing in ACC at Misano, 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 McLaren GT3 EVO?

Anaerobic digestion setups made earlier also said that four laps of fuel including out lap is typically used.

In hotlap mode, you will not have to even worry because the fuel is set to a false 2 litres, duh😅.

Concerning the qualy, do not panic if the fuel pressure alarm 🚨 goes off in sector 3 while performing the last lap as you will still finish the lap and then just hit “Return to Garage” as soon as possible.

If by any chance in rare cases you run out of gas in the corners, then just add on an extra litre.

How Many Setup Files Are Included For the McLaren GT3 at Misano?

Our Misano McLaren 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?

META setups👽 are the emplacements that have been designed for the greatest forward pull, lateral push, rough shock movers, increased raise angles, and gentler springs and strong shocks.

These Meta setups are intended for advanced sim racing drivers who are capable of letting the car rotate in order to get on throttle quickly and carry high speed into corners.

They are not the best go-to setups to choose for novices since the car, although being very stable, still has a shit ton of rotational torque. So, an average novice would probably end up losing control of driving this car.

Once you have successfully mastered the Mclaren at Misano and are able to challenge your lap times, this is the time to make a transition to the different configuration, the Meta setup.

The “ESPO” setups, which stands for “eSports” are supposed to make the METHA setups, your more stable version of it.

This means it has to be preferred after one is through with testing the SAFE setup and feels that the car could do with a tad more rotation.

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 BUMP STOP RANGE AND SOMETIMES ALSO SAFER REAR ANTI-ROLL BAR FROM THE META SETUPS.

The Qualy ESPO is still an aggressive setup but the last one that should be use before relocating to the META one.

The ‘SAFE’ setups are the ones specifically crafted for an average beginner or for less experienced ACC players, who still rely on a lot of stability and rear grip to have more weight and confidence in the car.

There is nothing wrong to make use of it since it will still allow you to achieve very similar-to-the-other aggressive setups lap times, but expect a more predictable car for Misano setup.

SAFE has a lower rake, more safe ARB settings, similar dampers, higher TC & ABS, bit more forward brake bias, less negative rear toe and bumpstop range configuration that is not as aggressive.

This should be the first choice if it’s your first time in the McLaren EVO at Misano.

When Should I Edit the Setups?

Our SOLOX advice to users is always to put each of the setups to the test so it is on the extremes and only after that (after about 15/20 laps) to change PSI values and then to make minor adjustments.

The reason is that if you do change things straight away before reaching the limit of the car, then these specific changes would be rendered useless when you do reach the limit and perhaps you will need to revert back to the baseline.

In case, on the other hand, server temperatures differ to the ones recommended, then naturally you will have to start adjusting the tyres’ pressures immediately.

Setup Changes We Suggest You to Do🔧

Tyre pressures except brake duct and their changes according to the air/track temps are these changes we recommend you do:

±1.5 % Brake Bias (If you wish to have rotation for the brakes or more rear stability during the brakes)
±1 TC1 (To Make the throttle more Striking or safer when attempting to speed)
±1 ABS (Can be adjusted from driver unforeseen factors)
±2mm Rear Ride height (For changing the down force in speed corners)
±1 Rear Anti Roll Bar (For low speed mechanical)
±1 Wheel Rate (For low speed mechanical + stability over the kerbs) Front/Rear

Taking into account that before doing any of these changes the hot tyre pressure should be between 26.6 and 27.0.

As for final note it is best to leave the TC and ABS in this condition “normal” but with respect to different condition and preferences such values if necessary may be changed.

In case you have a different approach while considering the rear tyres in the first couple of laps, lowering TC1 by 1 helps, and it can also be changed back wherever the user wishes to put a little pressure on the tyres when it is required in the later parts of the race.

Be sure not to touch this engine map we have set because it may really cause you some unforeseen loss of time on the straight runs.

Your Quick ACC Guide to Mastering Misano with the McLaren GT3 EVO

When still looking to race aggressively in the Misano area, the McLaren 720S GT3 EVO helps best in accomplishing the goal.

Medium radius bends related to the circuits and short straights require an extensive amount of downforce, gentle suspension, stiff dampers and a lot of mechanical grip. This setup pack does just that.

It would be best to have a lot of front-end lift along with enough drag so you can fire the throttles and easily trim precious tenths in between rounds.
