Thanks for the guide. I just got ACC two weeks ago and this game is no joke. Ive had good luck with Lexus, McLaren and Ferrari. The Mercedes and the GTR will eat you alive

[@SimracingArnout]

Haha try the Porsche that will also skin you beforehand

[@guidofoc7057]

Thanks for the video! For some reason i began driving the Porsche when it came out (first the 2019 version and now the 2023 version) and I still drive it. Top speed is an issue but with the LFM BoP the situation improved, even at Monza i can defend myself quite well. The real issue I have is with the car becoming unstable when the tank empties, also the tires' grip seems to suddenly disappear until they stabilize, but even during a quick race i always have those 1-2 laps where the car is crazy before i can tame it again.

[@SimracingArnout]

The Porsche is great, if you control that one. Nothing is more satisfying

[@miraclemaxicl]

How do you deal with massive oversteer on entry when tank is mostly empty? I've crashed quite a few times on different tracks with 1-2 laps left to go due to massive oversteer which would show up.out of nowhere

[@SimracingArnout]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXOpeZybpdNmirssi=_Gu9WWs-L-zh5qEk maybe this can help you

[@kostaandonovski4633]

Exact same issue for me, the moment the tank goes low, the car will not comply have to drive it like a granny. But man is it fun! I want to tame it so bad but its not easy for me.

[@jpjohn1976]

So which car do you recommend?

[@bfife22]

I've been using the Mustang this season in LFM, and managed to set new PBs on 2 tracks. It's a ton of fun when you get used to it

[@SimracingArnout]

That car i will try at some point. Thanx for the comment

[@Tennyson_W05]

Mustang is great fun to drive, do have to control the right foot though on slow corners

[@kimlodrodawa123]

I went for the "recommended beginner" car, when I started with ACC. Didn't like the recommended. Saw a video, where it was said; "Choose the car you like the most and learn to use it" Since then I am only using Porsche. Took some time to control the beast, that Porsche is. Also did my LFM license in Porsche. Porsche for me, no matter what others say. Porsche is the car I luv, and by that I have fun and with fun, I drive more and by that get more experience. IMHO, drive the car you like the most for what ever reason that might be and learn to control it. They all have advantage and disadvantages!. Later you can change to a car that fits your driving style or stick to the one you started with. But before you learn to drive a car, you have no clue about your driving style.

[@SimracingArnout]

We are al different, and that is a good thing

[@kimlodrodawa123]

@@SimracingArnout - It is a good thing indeed. 😎 Now you explain to me, how I can stay away from sim-racing since February 2022 (did LFM races and all that jazz), begin racing again few days ago, jump into the Audi, use the aggressive setup, run few laps, adjust the tire pressure and then do a PB on a track 😜😂 Keep in mind, I am getting near 60, not been racing for little more than 2 years, not even driving a car IRL. Never been driving the Audi R8 LMS EVO II, using the (you called it broken) aggressive setup and beating my personal best 🤔🤔🤔 Isn't that just funny 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@claytonsmith716]

The Porsche’s cornering has currently ruined driving anything else for me. Even though it gets angry the second you have a misstep.

[@SimracingArnout]

It gets angry hahaha

[@SpencerDavis10]

I agree. It’s the most balanced car in my opinion after driving a few others. I can’t get away from the consistency.

[@SimracingArnout]

The first 10 minutes it is okay, then the drama starts for me

[@kimlodrodawa123]

@@SimracingArnout ""The first 10 minutes it is okay, then the drama starts for me"" Hilarious. 🤣😂🤣 My nightmare is the ferrari. We don't get along very well. Haven't tried the mustang yet, but IRL they are known for not being able to turn. A car build for straight roads only 🤣😂🤣😂

[@vinniehuish3987]

Cars that handle better will wear their tires out faster. That’s why.

[@racingmidnight]

I choose the 296GT3 for my league racing , after mclaren , because mclaren was sliding too much with my driving style and killing tires , Im trying to go on throttle asap or dont lift throttle at all (use it within 5-7%) , with mclaren it gave me slide but with ferrari it gives me advantage on mid-speed corners , after mac ferrari feels like grip eater. but acceleration is problem in some corners and bumps could be taken if you raise a front a little bit.Also you forget to add that ferrari have really good traction control

[@SimracingArnout]

These comments are great, obviously i wanted to not make the video super long. Good point

[@JohanDubrau]

I really wanted an updated video ty sooo much!

[@SimracingArnout]

Glad I could deliver!

[@paddyodoors2757]

My favourite has become the bentley and now the -39kg on monza lfm bop has gave it steroids. On the straights in monza there is nothing faster, at the start I nearly always pull on everyone in it. I always found it the most consistent car and best for long stints. My second favourite is the m4, it feels slower but more nimble in fast bends, love it on the 24hr Nürburgring.

[@SimracingArnout]

And the Bentley isnt used a lot so youll never be another brick in the wall. Thanx for the comment

[@iliyadavoodipour258]

i have been driving the audi for a couple days by now, and i have to say i highly prefer the porshe(old main) over the audi. however, ill stick with the audi because im always the only one brave enough to drive it xD

[@SimracingArnout]

Haha yess! I do believe you get more flexible in driving cause you're managing a turd and if you can do that you can drive everything

[@inoo2345]

Same here. Love the way the Porsche drives but it's on a knife's edge at all times and the top speed makes it kinda hard to be competitive sometimes. Whereas I found the Audi to drive the most similar to the Porsche without a lot of the downsides. Just that it's another scary to drive car since it also wants to kill you at all times but it does feel a lot more competitive when it wants to comply

[@iliyadavoodipour258]

@inoo2345 aggree with alot of things you say. At first i tried out the ferrari. But it felt so lifeless in comparison to the porshe and audi that i just went like "no way im gonna own this car. I dont even care how fast it is".

[@KF-hb5vx]

Dude awesome content. This really helped me make a couple decisions on my car choice. Thank you

[@SimracingArnout]

Awesome man good luck. Im going to make this list in an email at some point stay tuned

[@amateurgtdriver]

A very helpful and informative video mate, well done. And thanks for the shoutout in the beginning of the video!

[@SimracingArnout]

Yess sir thanx for helping!

[@Malc2169]

Bit gutted to see the Audi score low - personally I love this car, and since 1.9 and with your Arnoud preset I find I am consistently fastest in it compared to other cars. I know what you mean about the rear end getting nervous though - glad its not just me that’s noticed it. Great video all round though, big thanks!

[@SimracingArnout]

Yeah, it is a sad thing. Pro tip: if can build a bit of setup for yourself, go drive 30 mins of practice. Then pick your 30-minute tires and tune your car again with the old tires. Check out how it acts with fresh rubber!

[@Malc2169]

@@SimracingArnout That sounds like a great tip, I’ll give it a go tonight! Thanks again :)

[@snippidippi]

Kinda wierd as it's one of the best car IRL gt series 😂 guess kunos goes it's own way

[@lucabuzz2678]

audi without lfm bop is one of the fastest cars in the game, it is just hard to drive

[@snippidippi]

@lucabuzz2678 I wonder as nearly no pro player drives it

[@PaulGSimGolfandRacing]

Thanks for the video!! I’m fairly new to sim racing on ACC and chose the Ferrari based on other videos However, after trying out other cars just for fun, I found I really get on well with the Porsche, maybe I’ll switch into it next season

[@r4jdo397]

After I bought new wheel I came back for real to ACC and started with Ferrari 296 since it is the most popular car right now. After couple of races i found that car really weird to drive. Maybe it was the setup thing but i just couldn't find the pace in. So I tried mclaren and oh my God I love this car. The 1st gear is useless but this car just feels right for me.

[@SimracingArnout]

The 296 can feel wierd i agree, and the mclaren could also step out a bit from time to time. Great you found your optimal car

[@Hamelton44]

Leuke video goede info! Hier heeft iedereen wel wat aan. Thx

[@Naindurth]

I wish there was another way to BoP the cars, because the 720s EVO in Mount Panorama was an awful experience for me in LFM, so much that I didn't race that week. It's like the weight destabilize the car and it's takes even longer to brake. I'm not good enough to adjust to weird weight behavior changes in a car, I'd rather let's say have less acceleration instead.

[@SimracingArnout]

Yeah the weight is great but it isnt perfect.

[@rankisdumb214]

They add too much weight due to its hot lap times! Adding that weight really messed up the McLaren due to its lack of acceleration. It's a high downforce car! It's fast in the corners so adding weight takes that away and makes it a snail on the str8!!!

[@SimracingArnout]

You can run it with low wing a lot of times

[@JohanDubrau]

Im bad in the Ferrari 296, Aston and Mustang i just can't drive them fast but the porsche 992, Audi and Honda NSX just click for me... I don't know why!?

[@SimracingArnout]

You have an unique way of driving probably. Im kind of jealous 😅

[@not_popskgaming8150]

I drive the Lexus, with BOP its a straight line monster, I've only ever driven in it Suzuka (which was quite competitive) and Donnington (which wasn't as good)

[@SimracingArnout]

It can vary from track to track

[@jeffcurran4111]

I play on a Xbox one console. But am looking at gaming PC. What am I looking for. Mainly how big for racing for racing acc or other racing. I'm new but learn so much from you. Thanks for doing a great job

[@flat6simracing625]

Since literally all cars tend to understeer really heavy, the porsche is my go-to car. BUT it kicks your ass with empty tank and instabilities in extreme situation. The best beginner car is for me still the Mclaren.

[@SimracingArnout]

I hear ya

[@Skeelios]

Nice vid! I use Lambo for 2 months now and really love it 😍

[@snippidippi]

Can you make a video about how to drive smooth, how to gas in and out of corners. I'm doing trailbrake and gas out but I see pro players do some haft gas, very little braking and such. Hard to tell what I mean but I'm stuck in my driving style and need help. And a video about grain and tire wear and what the numbers means and such would also be a good video

[@SimracingArnout]

Thanx for the imput. I will get into these subjects theres a lot to explore

[@GeR_Lazlo]

Trailbraking?

[@snippidippi]

@GeR_Lazlo trailbraking is just the ground/beginning, there's a lot more to take a corner fast. Like trail gasing, smooth driving and engine braking and such

[@GeR_Lazlo]

I love your videos :) i startet with a mix of cars but this are my favs: Ferrari, Porsche and Mclaren. My problem with the porsche was, that all my friends are says its not a good endu car. The mclaren is really fast but with thi ACTUAL BoP its really difficult for me to stick to the Mccy. Ferrari is nice but what is your suggestions?? Best car with and without bop right now? Greeetz from germany _

[@SimracingArnout]

Advice is great! But first-hand experience is always better. Don't let anyone convince you to not take A particular car. Maybe you are great in the Porsche for longer races. Ferrari can be great as well.

[@SimracingArnout]

Without BOP i would pick the Lambo

Can i switch cars per race in lfm ? I main the porsche but in zolder it tries to kill me in turn one. Cant figure it out. With the mclaren its more manageable. Just starting out with sim racing

[@SimracingArnout]

Yes you can. But i would not recommend that, stick to your ride, to improve your skills over time

[@kimlodrodawa123]

I suggest to learn how to do a good setup. With same car, each track need its own setup. Work from aggressive setup or use Fri3d0lf safe setup for that track and adjust accordingly to YOUR driving style. As Arnout, I also suggest to stick with one car for at least a couple of LFM seasons. Meanwhile you can practice with other cars and see if you can find a secondary car you luv to drive.

[@SimracingArnout]

Dont recommend other channels here man use my advice only.. I'm joking, I do find the aggressive preset broken, i usually start with my own and find a baseline for all tracks and then I tweak the track-specific

[@kimlodrodawa123]

@@SimracingArnout - I know it was controversial to mention others. 🤣 But as getting near 60 years old, I think we are all better off trying to help each other, instead of fighting each other and keeping good advice to ourselves. IMHO We all will greatly benefit from that. Just getting older and wiser 😜 You yourself could benefit from that also. Think about it this way: Help people to grow their own crops is by far better, than growing your own and hand over what you can spare. Reason is, if we all learn to grow our own crops, we will have a much bigger and better party for all of us. As I am in a world wide organisation that is based on donations rather than charging fees, we are all doing good and those who can afford, help those in need. It makes every one happy. It is win-win-win and even more win situation. Cheers mate and sorry for having a good heart and just want to help. Stay tuned, keep on track and be a good lad. It will pay of in the end. I promise!!! 😎🙏

[@kimlodrodawa123]

@@SimracingArnout - The aggressive setup is not broken (wrong word to use! and might be better to say not updated to this new version or not as good as could be), but sure not the best. But it very much comes down to our driving style. That is a very important thing, that many people forget to mention or don't want to mention. Also what gear do people have, is it old used driving wheel that no longer is that precise etc etc. I am a very cautious and careful driver, so I can basically drive any car no matter the setup. No, I will never be among the top 10, but I am here to have fun, not to reach to the top. Again, our approach is different. Still we want a good setup, that suits our own style and what we find good. My "excellent" setup, you might find rubbish and visa versa. It's good to keep those things in mind. Cheers and please keep doing videos. You have a good mind in general and openminded. Also cool homemade driving rig you have made. Keep going mate. 🙏
