I Want to Be a Racing Driver - Part 16

[@kevinhadj82]

Nice to see your progress, but I will repeat what I posted in another video, get those electronics higher. A general tip that worked for me in my over 2000hours of playing this game is : get them to a level that produce fast enough lap times and then add one more click. It is better to have that TC/ABS engage, especially in the rain, than to slide with all wheel locks in the rear end of the guy in the front. In regards to ride height, get it up, yes you want it as "low" as possible, but if it suddenly rain more you may have not put enough and will just slide. In the rain the aero has way less impact, you better be as ready as you can to give you the best chance if conditions get worse. In terms of line, identify where tracks will get puddles, it will always be the same, that means you may have to adapt your line and braking zones for some corners. Les Fagnes is a good example, there will always be a puddle right in the usual braking zone, so you have two options : brake earlier or go wide, I usually chose the second option to avoid any issue with someone close behind. It is also more important to practice alternative lines for overtaking, just to be sure to know where all issue could appear, taking Spa as an example again, if you try to overtake in the inside at the end of Kemmel straight, that will just end up in drama as the inside line is full of puddles.

Thanks for the tips! I always appreciate it!! I did try multiple settings for TC, Mapping & ABS. In heavy rain, the sweet spot for me was between 4-6 TC. In the dry I actually reduced my lap time by going TC2 instead of TC4 (That was my regular setting). I agree that, in a race, it’s better to be safe than sorry…so I always go one or two clicks higher and I find those settings to be comfortable (and fast) for me. If the tires start to overheat or if I start to feel the car sliding too much I go even higher! Keep in mind that I am driving the Huracan EVO 2…and many people suggest lower TC Settings for that car. I have also done some stints with the Ferrari 296 and I had to increase TC to 4 in order to drop faster lap times…so it really depends on the conditions and the car… But I will keep exploring to see what works for me and what doesn’t. I don’t want to be close minded!!
