Set PBs & Grab P1 with the Porsche 992 GT3 R

Nothing else betters the Porsche GT3 Setup at this time as not only will it improve your lap times🏆 threshold and rotation with the aggressive preset but yes it will as well improve your overall stability.

More emphasis on more stability as well as balance between the car front and rear reduces overheating and the tires degradation at Barcelona is essential to retaining good pace in AOR and LFM ACC online races which is very competitive.

In any case, when we create our setups, multiple factors are considered: tyre pressures, brake ducts, cambers, and toe adjustments.

Putting it all together, this particular Porsche setup will provide more stability and control than ever before, confidence to go harder on the car which will aid in pushing it to its limits.

In the same vein, these Barcelona Porsche 992 GT3 R setups will run on PC and PS4/PS5 & Xbox. 🎮

For that reason, however, the instructions outlined in the “PS5 & Xbox Readme” will do when you extract the setup you’ve downloaded.

Porsche 992 GT3 R Setups ACC Version

It is possible that this Sarah Volta will prioritize the training mode and the ready to compete installation when it is time to make changes to the properties of the 1.10 Version of the ACC and all will as soon as any new major Physics or BoP changes are made to the game, so semi annually.

Don’t fret about the new setups every time a new ACC update comes up since you’ll be getting some emails in case fresh setups are up and running.

Useful Information About The Setups

Most of the qualy setups for example include 4 laps of fuel so including the out lap, you will have three flying laps only to set your fastest time and if you can bear in mind that the avg. fuel amount is 4-6 liters which means that the tyre pressures and ride heights have been set in order to adjust to that fuel amount so as to maximize the grip level and aero downforce. This naturally causes the car to be more oversteery especially during the race when fuel tank is full which is why a lot of teams tend to reduce the rear ride height by 1-2mms. The general practice is to open up the brake ducts after a full fuel tank to cool the brakes and tyres, particularly used at the rear, helping the car significantly at warm conditions and high degradation circuits

Proper Tyre Settings After Major ACC 1.9 Update

Once the 1.9 tyre update is pushed it will be possible to hit the peak of the tyres in terms of grip performance on the 2nd and 3rd push lap so do not be worried if the tyre pressures are a bit low on lap 1 and especially regarding here in sector 1 & 2 in barcelona.

Furthermore, following the 1.9 ACC tire amendment, the working operating pressure range has expanded to 26.0 to 27.0 PSI, although for the final two qualifying push laps, one should try to keep the tire pressures higher than this range (preferably 26.6 – 27.0).

Do keep in mind however, that it is almost always nicer to err on the higher end like 27.1 or 27.2 to keep the pressure rather than going too low below 26.0 as that can sometimes be really slick especially towards the last few laps of a race stint or on the first push lap during qualifying.

The same applies when racing: ensure that the pressures are adequate for the majority of the stint, even if the recommendation is to have them in a marginally lower range (an average of 26.6 – 26.9).

It is important to bear in mind however, that because of pressure loss and the progression of tire degeneration throughout a 45+ minute race, you will generally be left with low tire pressures after the event which could fall within the lower spectrum of 26.

Therefore, in the initial stages, the strategy could be to run slightly higher pressures like 27.1 – 27.2, which will be optimized towards the end of the stint, to reduce chances of tyre graining and therefore loss of grip as the race progresses.

This will also help in pushing your lap times close to your PB consistently as the life of the tyres is preserved.

Also take into consideration, that when you increase brake ducts, the straights will cool down the brakes and therefore the tyres too, which will impact pressures.

In fact for every step in the brake ducts say from 3 to 4 or 2 to 3, you have to go up or down with pressures by around 0.2 PSI depending on the track.

Tyre Pressures And Brake Ducts Adjusting Strategy During A Race In ACC At Barcelona, Always Keep In Mind To Modify The Pressures Based On The Air And Track Temperature🌤️ Of The Current Server Session You Are In.

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

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

It is generally accepted that pressure changes in the same direction as temperature, with a relative change of 0.1 PSI for every thermometer degree shift, only this time the digits are inverted: for instance, if there’s an increase of one degree, there will be a decrease of 0.1 PSI and the opposite is also true.

Suppose you plan to participate in an online race and the ambient temperature is 27° while the asphalt temperature is approximately 33°. If so, the correct amount of adjustments will bring the pressure down by 0.4 PSI, and if the system becomes too hot, one more ‘open’ duct for the brakes will assist in cooling them down more efficiently.

In cold conditions such as 18°C air temperature coupled with 20°C pavement temperature where the event could be a nighttime race or a 24-hour race in its early hours, you have to find ways of alleviating the duvet with an additional 0.4 PSI pressure going to each tire.

All of this means that a greater amount of brake duct will calm down each tire with an addition of one duct, or from setting three to two, for example.

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

As stated previously, for most qualifying setups, including one out lap, we usually carry approximately 4 laps of fuel within the vehicle.

If you don’t wish to bother about anything, you don’t need to bother as the fuel stays fixed at 2 litres, duhhh 😅, While running hot lap.

Fuel pressure alarm🚨 comes up in sector 3 of your last flying lap, don’t panic it comes up during the qualy run. You will be able to cross the lap and after clicking on return to garage button oeshw whatever you like.

In case you happen to run out of fuel while in the remaining few corners, then simply put one more litre extra please.

How Many Setup Files Are Included For the Porsche GT3 R at Barcelona?

Our Barcelona Porsche 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 which have maximum amount of front grip, rear rotation, aggression in the dampers, rake being used is a lot higher and the setting softest of stiff suspension.

Experienced sim drivers tend to do little more championship races a lot and for these kinds of drivers, ideally very, these meta setups would be suited which allows the car to do its own rotation making the car turn faster ensuring high minimum speeds can be carried through and relatively quick getting full throttle.

They are not really ideal setups for novices as all cars although stable have a ton of rotation which in this case is quite a lot and so may more likely than not cause the average beginner to lose focus and control whilst driving it.

Once you have mastered the Porsche at barcelona and seem to be comfortable improving your lap times, then at this point you switch to the Meta set up.

The “ESPO” set-ups which are the best for most average players stand for eSports and these should be your more stable version of the META set ups.

This means that it needs to be selected after experiencing the SAFE setup and the desire is felt that additional rotation is required out of the car.

These ESPO setups have typically got a bit less rake, 1 click safer TC, slightly less rear toe for less rotation, dampers 4,5,6 from the META setups, slightly less aggressive rear bumpstop range and sometimes also slightly less aggressive rear anti-rollbar from the META setups.

The Qualy ESPO will still be aggressive and it’s a setup that should go in just before the leap into the META one.

The ‘SAFE’ setups are the only recommended setups for the average beginner or the ACC novice player who still requires a lot of stability and rear grip in order to build confidence in the car.

There’s nothing wrong in employing it, also because it will still give you lap times that are very close to the other aggressive setups, but the car will be comparatively more predictable around the circuit of Barcelona.

The SAFE setup has got lower rake angle, I have made the ARB settings comparatively safe, the dampers are similar, the TC and ABS are higher, the brake bias is a little bit more to the front, negative rear toe angle is less and the bumpstop range configuration is not that aggressive.

This should be your preferred option, if it is your first time behind the wheel of the Porsche GT3 R around Barcelona.

When Should I Edit the Setups?

Our recommendation at SOLOX is always to test each setup in great detail and only after that (after about 15/20 laps) increase PSI and then make minute adjustments.

This is because if one makes the changes immediately even before testing the limit of the car, the changes would be ineffective at the limit, and one may need to return to the first version.

In case the server temps are not those that are indicated, then of course a change has to be done to the tyre pressures at that time.

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.
