Fully agree but once I figured out the Porsche I just couldn't drive anything else. Everything felt substandard. The Porsche is incredible.

[@SimracingArnout]

Its growing on me as well

[@STORM3SHADOW]

share your settings??? I still can't dial this car in to be manageable!

[@kus4759]

Use McLaren i came from Porsche the McLaren feels amazing

[@dispatchcenter1241]

​​​@@STORM3SHADOW Almost never coast. Use a bit of throttle almost always. You are either on the brake or on throttle almost always. Try using a lower gear where possible, it helps a lot in many corners. Short shift on exit if necessary.

[@morfei1]

Once you feel the rotation of the Porsche, everything else is understeery✌

[@khorsus7403]

Very well said! I am a firm believer that you can’t be a 10/10 driver on one car without being at least a 7/10 driver on other cars. At least this is how I improved myself in 2k+ hrs time invested in acc

[@brianstoneley227]

Great video, I was impressed so have subscribed, at the age of 68 I have only just recently started Sim racing, I am about 300 hours into AC and ACC. Having driven both , I prefer AC as it gives me more feel through the wheel , I will give your idea of trying the Porsche gt3 and think practicing in that car will help me get better in my usual choice of car and allow me to learn more about setups than I have already. I have evolved a good stable setup for my usual choice of cars and in doing so learned a great deal from the process. Thanks for the instructional videos , seasons greetings, best wishes Brian.

[@SimracingArnout]

Thanx for the comment brain!

[@jamesbeilby8772]

I started with the BMW and pretty much only drove that. Recently got the update pack with the new cars and tried them all out and found the Ferrari and it suits me much better, have dropped seconds on most tracks, definitely think it’s worthwhile trying different cars as you improve

[@opmike343]

The Ferrari fits my driving style so well (I'm immediately a full second quicker in it on ANY track) that I feel like I should driving something else to expand my skills a bit. It almost makes me too comfortable? I don't know how to explain it. I immediately fell in love with it, though.

[@Traction_Circle]

Agree completely. Only beginner but after establishing myself with the M4 I started changing cars depending on the setup guide. The 992 is crazy but fun, the ferrari seems easy fast without changing the setups much and now the M4 feels slow but is still close in lap time 😂

[@dylanmonahan5909]

The 992 is a different beast. While others are trail braking, the Porsche just lifts off the trottle to rotate and uses the throttle again to rotate some more. I'm a first season Rookie in my community league, so I opted for tye Aston Martin, but when I'm putting my growth to the test in practice there is nothing more exhilarating than the 992. I've also used the NSX on tracks like Spa and Mt Panorama to good effect - nailing those fast turns over elevations in the NSX requires refined input control. Cheers 🍻

[@SimracingArnout]

Spot on!

[@ViejoRacer]

Totally agreed. If you want to grow as a driver is a good way rather than pick the meta car and try to win from the begining, build speed, build skills, the more complete driver the better, and lots of practice, Very much liked 😊

[@SimracingArnout]

Going for meta all the time does hurt your preformance big time when the metas dissapear in an update or something

[@GUN69_]

I feel like there are 2 groups of people in ACC: Group 1 - picks up the car and sticks to it no matter what (so you will see them driving GTRs, Hondas and even some driving Jaguar). They know that this is compromising their overall results but that is still fine. Group 2 - those who follow the current BOP trend. I have seen grid of 50% Mclarens, then it was Mercedes, then BMW, now it is Ferrari 296. I have to admit that myself belong to the first group and overall in my almost 4 years driving ACC I did only 2 cars

[@SimracingArnout]

Man you spoke out of my heart! I should have said this in the video.. not important if you win or lose, but how you play the game!

[@dispatchcenter1241]

Drive what you like.

[@dispatchcenter1241]

I cant imagine doing setups for all tracks again and again. There is no f in way I buying them.

[@Captivateitmedia]

Absolutely love your channel and content. Hope you never stop the vids..

[@SimracingArnout]

Awesome to hear! There is more coming

[@DanielBORN394]

This is so true. I'm new to sim racing and only been playing on the Aston Martin until a week ago when I had the same thought as you. I switched to the Ferrari and also started practicing on Automobilista and have dropped a second on every track already. I am noticing things in the force feedback that I didn't before.

[@opmike343]

My issue with AMS2 is that it has a crazy wide range of stability when the car is at extreme slip angles. I can initiate and hold slides, even in high downforce open wheel cars, that shouldn't be possible in real life. For MY driving style (other people are different) it allows for bad habits to start to creep into my driving. It's fun, yes, but there's quirks with that driving model that is holding your hand.

[@SimracingArnout]

Pivot to acc mate🤪

[@jeffcurran4111]

Well I been watching and today subscribed. I as new to this sim racing. Only been doing for 7 months or so. I have learned so much. I was a desert racer as a pro 14 time done the Baja 1000. I totally understand the different cars and really get what you say learn different lines from different cars. I now have started on the Porsche. It is hard but kinda satisfying. Thanks

[@SimracingArnout]

That desert racing.. awesome man!

[@robertthassy461]

I play on controller as a beginner! And somehow I enjoy driving the Lambo! That Car is so much fun!

[@SimracingArnout]

Awesome keep going i like the lambo as wel now

[@kobi399]

The porsche is actually realy bad because when you learn it you have to drive it forever because every other car feels like an undrivable boat.

[@SimracingArnout]

Maybe i will experience that one day

[@thefan107]

My recommendation would be the lambo evo2. Not to easy not to hard perfect.

[@kouya0126_]

I started out with the Porsche as well and when I got consistent times at monza I noticed it couldn’t get any faster. I also noticed stock settings doesn’t work with Porsche too well on curbs. And I’m not advance enough to mess with that stuff. So I figured let me try bmw. And boy my time dropped even more. So basically driving a difficult car made driving an easy car even more easier. It’s like you said. Learning the hard skills on a hard car works well with an easy car. With that said I’m going back to Porsche this week

[@SimracingArnout]

Amen!👊

[@dispatchcenter1241]

You dont need to be advanced. Go click down on fast BUMP and test. + or - 1 of anything wont be a problem in most cases, but it can help in many cases. Click around in the dampers section and test, it works wonders with grip, kerbs,......

[@karannsyt]

Great video, needed this because I’ve spend almost a hundred hours now exclusively driving the Aston and learning all the tracks I need to re learn how to drive with other cars, I don’t know what’s the best car to transition to though

[@SimracingArnout]

Maybe try this: aston-lambo-porsche. Or try the ferrari 296 instead of the lambo

[@TzeiEm]

As a total beginner, McLaren evo got me the fastest lap times on the default aggressive setups. Now that I'm a few weeks in the game, I've tried other cars with downloaded setups, but I'm just so slow with anything else and all the other cars feel understeery compared to McLaren :D

[@SimracingArnout]

For me its the other way around strange how it works we are all diffrent

[@kornelobajdin5889]

True Ive tried many cars so far, and the only one that competes is Porsche. But McLaren has a very good and clear view compared to Porsche. And the car itself feels faster to drive and control to me. But the bumps are the weaker side of it. Probably needs some height adjustments. Its unstable over bumps. But still good for its visibility and control.

[@mgerim]

I don't agree. You need an easier car to begin with so you can concetrate on the fundementals of being fast. Once you learned those things then you should start developing skills for different cars

[@SimracingArnout]

I kinda reviewed the video a few times, hmm.. maybe for me a improvement in the next video to be more clear, obviously you need the basics down yes

[@justinwelsh7317]

I also apply this same challenge by trying different tracks. I find you can practice different skills at different tracks

[@Skinketern]

Getting my simrig together next week, ill be sitting in a porsche for ever, must learn it.. 😂

[@SimracingArnout]

A Porsche dedicated rig? Awesome

[@xcotex82]

I started the game with F488 it was really hard or even impossible to take some kerbs, the 296 is easier. I've also drove Aston in endurance, I'm a 1100 ELO in LFM, and I would like to try the 992 I always like to push myself out of my comfort zone. I try not to care much about the ELO. Good video I'll check your chanel for more acc videos

[@thesilverpittie9632]

only have like 15 hours and picked the 991 Porsche so that any other car should be easier. and doing fine. doing the medium career on easy since i dont know the tracks or stopping points. i got a moza r5 bundle with the load cell sr-p replacement pedals instead of the lite ones that come with the bundle.

[@SimracingArnout]

So that sounds like a decent setup you have! Have fun.. on my channel you can find a video about how to make your own car setup in 2 steps it will apply to the 991 as well

[@benloooo]

Startet with the M4 but will try the others aswell 👌

[@snippidippi]

If you want a quickfix to be fast/be able to drive any car in the game just get into the jaguar 😂😂😂

[@peermancolin]

Audi for the 'W'

[@dacke13]

I started out with the Bentley but it's quite understeery and heavy. it didn't suit me at all. Lambhgorhini is nice but quite difficult to turn. Nissan is also nice, a very balanced car overall I quite liked it. It's more to the understeery direction but I liked it and its a bit heavy. But not as much as the Bentley. Were the wheels need to be straight in order to get speed. And u don't spin out and the brakes are a bit better. My favorite overall car is the mercedes amg. Because you have to improve all the time with it and it let's you to improve with it. It's not understeery or oversteering. it's balanced and if you make it understeering/oversteering mistakes that's on you. I feel the car let's you do the mistakes and let's you know that it was you at fault and not the vehicle. It does turns and kerbs quite well and braking and speeding is nice. It's the perfect car for me. Even when i don't tune it, it's just perfect.

[@SimracingArnout]

Great comment! Loving the AMG as well at the moment

[@Mure98]

Ferrari 296 for me its the most easy and Im begginer. Mclaren de 2nd one but its much spicy cause of oversteering

[@tumolucky17]

Open acc on the ps5, I’m not sure if the game is running right but whenever I save my car set ups it never saves? I’ve also updated the card with the dlc but yet then new cars are not an option? I’m new to acc so still trying to get my ratings up. I love this game and driving experience but the game seems very limited to what I can do?

[@SimracingArnout]

Im not sure how you should fix that.

[@Captivateitmedia]

Question to everyone, but on my ps5 playing acc while driving the Porsche, when zipping down any track, once I try gearing down, it doesn’t allow for super fast downshifts like the other cars I drive…is this a Porsche thing in the game mimicking their gearbox? Or do I have a faulty Porsche…ha… as I literally can not gear down fast at all. It has a delay for some reason…sigh

[@SimracingArnout]

Hard to say, maybe try out on my discord, maybe someone over there knows

[@MrWarlee]

i started with porsche too cause i love the cars but after months of practice and still no good race endings , i try than the other cars ....... now i dont drive porsche anymore .

[@SimracingArnout]

Maybe after some time try them again

[@thomasneit880]

I wasn't driving porsche much but if it's so oversteer on the entry will changing differential higher help with it?

[@SimracingArnout]

Yeah higher helps, and maybe increase the front wheel rates as well, make a low bumpstop range on the back as well, but there are a bunch of thing you can do

[@dispatchcenter1241]

More rear toe helps. Its has shorter gears, going in at low revs makes it oversteer. Try gears Two and three at Zolder T 1, 2, and gear 3 and 4 at T4 to see what I mean. Experiment with + or - one on bump and rebound. Lower anti roll bars to learn how it behaves and bump it up as you gain experience. High wing on most tracks. Dial back with experience. TC 3 or more ABS 3 or more until you learn to control it. It will oversteer if you coast a lot. Use a bit of throttle. Don't use Zero front bump stop range.

[@dispatchcenter1241]

I hope that will help.

Ferrari 296

[@thomasneit880]

ferrari 296 the easiest car new mclaren the fastest car porsche the most difficult car but also fast if you can handle it just my opinion

[@jackdanyal4329]

what do you mean by fast? Aston is faster than McLaren, 296, and Porsche. Porsche is not strong on long straight lines. Same for Ferrari. Porsche's big advantage is to gain speed on corner entries and exits and that's why it feels faster, but on the straight line, my condolences to Porsche against Lambo, Aston, or Audi

how much time do you think you have put into Sim Racing?
