Thank you for your early review! I feel like my mission is accomplished by seeing your comments, it warms my heart! A few comments: 1-> I'm uploading around one challenge a day, so it will fill up pretty quickly. 2 -> The techniques are definitely going to be tranferred to other scenarios, even if it doesn't feel like it. That's because by doing so many hundred laps trying to get a gold in that specific challenge, you develop and shape your muscle memory, so in other scenarios you'll be doing that automatically without realizing it. Also, the deeper we get into the challenges, the more repetition you will find, which will help you realize that many of the techniques you've been developing on the early challenges are actually just preparing you to tackle the big ones! 3 -> The Aha moments happen when you're trying to apply a specific theory and you get to feel it in practice. I think there will be some of these throughout the challenges, but the objective of the challenge is for you to sit down and work. The Motor Racing Checklist is the big treasure box full of a-ha potentials (I see a lot of people finally understanding MRC contents by trying to apply them in the Academy). I'll be posting more and more challenges and I'm excited to see a second review in the future :P

A wise man once said… “You don’t need a mustache to go fast, that’s why swimmers shave their legs”. Another wise man said, “If a goat stares at the sun and a bear stares at the moon, how many pickles will fit in your shoe? That second guy was obviously taking some strong medication so we can just listen to the first guy. Besides everyone knows, it depends on your shoe size.

The aero calculator does NOT change the ride height of the car. The rear wing setting yes, but not the rest of it. You have to change the ride height on the Chassis page with the "ride height" setting just below the corner weight's on each wheel. Check the iRacing manual for the Corvette if you do not believe me, its a very common thing that confuses people. The aero calc is to be used for looking at ride heights in telemetry and using an average of the FL/FR and the RL/RR at a given point on the track gives you the aero balance in % at that particular moment.

@@PowerQ you know what, I have an idea. Because we were both asking it to give us help with setups, but here’s the thing setups are always driver dependent as well. So without it knowing our level of experience or driving style it would probably lean into more of a safe setup. I wii ok next what it might do with stating at least the driving type like aggressive, esports, novice, Pro and the. Get crazy with it and say your style of driving is the type of racing you prefer as in Rally, drift, ect. It would be wild to see it make a perfect setup on a GT3 track for a driver that’s more akin to driving say a nascar or Rally lol

It's not just about "hitting the apex", it goes hand in hand with the "out - in - out" principle, for example, in the Bus stop, I noticed that you, indeed, hit both apexes, but remained in the inside lane though the short straight, if you allow the car to go a little wider at the exit of the first "s", and do the same on the second, you'll be drawing a straighter trajectory throughout the whole section, and that is what allows you to go faster, because you're using less steering, which, in turn, gives you less friction. By the way, this isn't an angry comment, it's just an observation. 😅

@coriddeval1815 9 күн бұрын
I like, and seen out in out before but was busy in my brain learning how to even feel the road with the FFB lol. Now I think I. An remember and apply it after seeing this, because yes apexes are a base to start with, but every turn does not even have the same apex for every driver (technically it does just early, on point and late) especially with trail braking well and keeping momentum through a corner that leads into a high speed straight will need us to take a late apex and hitting that maximum rotation point, hard part is actually making all that happen lol

For me personnaly it would be heplful to get a good description of exactly what the apex of a corner is and what it means to "hit the apex". Curves and turns are different from one to the next and from one track to the next. What might look like an apex on one corner might not actually be "the" apex. I'm going to do my own experiment and find out what I can find out.

The prompt engineering of these will be important. I think creating a custom gpt with loads of data for the model to reference will be the key at AI created setups. This is similar to what race teams do back at their headquarters when running simulations. Now the next step will be adding your telemetry data and the setup information for the models to recommend changes in setup or changes to your racing craft.

Ik ben geen simracer maar heb sterk het gevoel dat de setup van chatgpt niet perse beter is, maar je lijnen waren wel een stuk smoother. Misschien als fair test zou het beter zijn om de chatgpt setups te proberen als je weer een tijdje niet je sim hebt aangeraakt ipv dat je er helemaal in zit. En zoals andere al suggereerde in de comments, ik denk dat chatgpt qua kennis die het tot zich heeft heus wel goede setups kan maken, maar dan nog is het punt wel dat de coureur zn drivingstyle wel overeen moet komen met de setup die je krijgt.

Insteresting video. The idea is cool, I wish you would have shown what you changed in the setup sheet, video should have been a lot longer. If you are about to redo a video with a similar idea, I would suggest you to get very familiar with the track, just take the track of the week from the series you are mainly driving, after a few races and using a real setup from a shop or what ever, you are probably better prepared for this challenge, using the fixed setup and not the baseline ( or you can use any baseline setup that are labeled with high, low, medium downforce ), since the purpose of the baseline setup is just to not fail under any load of fuel, there is no work on the set. You did 10 laps, 5 laps on each set.... low effort video or lack of knowledge, I don't know. Finally, can AI create a faster setup? - The driving and the lack of visual information for the viewers are the variables that make this completely useless.

It is a great tool for making setups, it gives you adjustments for front or rear separately, it gives you pictures of where the adjustment takes place, it asks you under what conditions your experiencing the difficulty and it also has a what if section that explains the pros and cons of each adjustment on the car. You should really check it out! Also if you found this helpful please consider giving my channel a sub. Thanks man, great video by the way.👍

​@@FifthPinned Not could be. Is. You cant tell anything from what you've just watched about the benefits of the changes made. From the long list of proposed changes, we didnt see what was actually different between the 2 runs. Nothing is "pretty clear". It's all rather muddy. If the driver was pretty familiar with the track, you'd expect a better time. First driver I pulled off G61 with a 1:49.0, had 3 complete laps and a similar iRating to PowerQ. So with PowerQ's assumed familiarity with the track... and still posting 1:49's... maybe you'd agree that his setup is still irrelevant to everything you just watched. And that for the forseeable future any improvements are all going to be down to seat time.

Honestly not being on the limit of all four tires while driving the correct line is a lot slower than the optimal slip angle through a sloppy route. To the merit of the video, changing the setup can make the balance a bit more neutral and responsive, the default tends to be really tight and takes a lot of precision to get the slide right, the overall grip may be lower but being able to drive it consistently is what matters the most. That being said, picking a slower car that spends more time on the edge would have more prominently highlighted the changes.

This was the car that I started with in ACC, and I am glad that I did. All the others seem so simple to drive well now. One thing I learned, is that investing time in a good setup for each track is paramount with any of the 911s. Your setup can truly make or break your race. Once you get it right... it's a really fast, rewarding car to drive.
