Thanks for taking me as a "passenger"; most enjoyable! Would like to know why you were penalised and lost P1.

[@DavidPerel]

We were given a post-Race 30s penalty because of contact between my team mate and another car on the last lap. Looking at the onboards I don’t think the penalty was justified but so he it.

Interesting this track looks a lot more "worn in" in real life with the markings etc . The Misano in-game looks box fresh!

[@AdzzVR]

I think it depends on the track condition, sometimes you'll see some run-offs and kerbs all rubbered and dark but yeah it does look more fresher in game depending on the host server settings.

Another great video! I don’t have Assetto Corsa Competizione, and I don’t know Misano at all, I’ve barely seen it. But this video helps a lot from a interior perspective, I’ll know what Misano looks like, and how to drive it. Now, another track is added to the list of tracks I learned from David Perel.

Thanks once again for your onboard and commentary, David ! I´d really love to try out the exact setup you were driving in this video in ACC just to see how it´d feel compared to what I dial in :) Sucks that you were penalized, but such is Motorsports … but on the bright side : there is always the chance of striking back and stealing all the P1´s ;) Good luck for your next races !

[@BeerMakesHappy]

I mostly watch motorcycle racing, but it's crazy how fast cars are around a track. You were only around 3 seconds off the pole time in MotoGP, and they have SO much more straight line speed. The difference around tracks like Mugello might be a bit bigger though (Marc Marquez did a 1:45,5. top speed almost 350 on the straight).

[@DavidPerel]

They have more top speed but we have a lot more grip

[@123krompir]

I was watching your race today at zandvoort you looked great I saw you went from I think 12 to 3 it looked amazing but then I think you pitted and switched drivers and fell back but you looked amazing

Thanks Wolf. Yes in Pro-Am we have to stay in the pits 10s longer than the Pro cars which is why we drop back so far in the second part of each race 😔

Superb , informative video as usual ! curbs are very inconsistent in ACC, and grip in general , feels really right to me at Silverstone but not for instance Spa or Brands Hatch , that’s even after the latest update , but when it’s good ACC is stunning..

[@MoCbr900]

Dave have you ever been to the Sim Racing Expo at the Nürburgring? This year it will temporally overlap with the Blancpain GT Race ;)

[@DavidPerel]

I’ve been there two years in a row 😁😁

[@Dphunks]

Great video. I dont understand why tracks dont raise the apex and get rid of all the cement behind the apex, looking at your lines, the apex of the corner was on line the grass

[@DavidPerel]

I agree Pedro. This weekend we are racing at Zandvoort, one of the true old school tracks with zero run off and track limit issues. I cannot wait to drive around here.

David, can I have one question about transmission? In older sim-games I played, it was always possible to tune the gears. To adjust transmission to each specific track... - say very short gears at Monaco vs. long gears for Monza. How is it with these GT cars. Gear ratio is not possible to tune? How is it? You have to drive all the season (all tracks) with one setup....? I was wondering about this since there are tracks where you don't even go to 6th gear... Thanks in case you find a time to reply. I am curious about this.

[@urbly2638]

Could you post the setup please. I can’t seem to get below 1:35. What wing level do you use?

[@cypher9000]

Mate, I'm doing similar laptimes in ACC. I think it's time I spoke to Michele about getting a seat in one of the cars :D

[@DavidPerel]

You’re hired!

[@Maloak42]

Those black and yellow "sausages" on some of the corners are brutal. Nevertheless amazing video.

[@DavidPerel]

They are brutal, if you hit them at the wrong angle you will damage your car.

[@Maloak42]

Especially at those crazy speed. Its Grand Turismo all over again. 🤣

[@danyjamous5986]

I'm taking nearly the same line in ACC and my best lap is a 1:34:2 with the lambo (I'm going flat through T6). I definitly think that ACC is a very good sim.

[@aboriani]

They only need to fix the slippery/bumpy kerbs, right now driving over a kerb is a 50/50 life and death bet

[@JamesHartnell]

@@aboriani yeah - it's bloody frustrating - did an endurance race the other day, 2.4 hours straight, easy 2nd on the cards, last 15 minutes was spat out of Eau Rouge for no reason - took it exactly the same as usual, replay showed nothing weird - just happened - 7th. The curbs in ACC have random outcomes - not good for racing.

[@aboriani]

@@JamesHartnell Yeah, same happens in Monza, in turn 10 (Variante Ascari). Every time I touch that kerb, I find myself squeezing my G29 in fear that I'll spin randomly at the exit...

[@ferchuu9]

So, what happens to the used qualy tires?

[@DavidPerel]

You use them in the race 👍

[@marc_perel]

You make so much time up by taking such aggressive curb use on the inside of the corners, does the Ferrari have a better front end than most of the other cars?

[@DavidPerel]

Mercedes are better at riding curbs than us. They can use them more affectively as slow speed compared to us. At T2 for example they could cut much more than us.

[@dhedhekuncoro]

can short shifting make your lap time quicker?

[@DavidPerel]

No, we have to shift at a specific point in each gear to maximize acceleration.

Only thing I don't know is how much distance you have between dash screen and wheel. Any idea, roughly? (I know it's different in every car - just to get the idea) Thanks a bunch and keep 'em comin'!

[@dirklangohr]

It's okay in most series. ADAC GT Masters is the only series I know which is that strict on Track Limits.

[@DavidPerel]

It's because it's impossible to control. The tracks should do a better job with curbing in my opinion. Budapest is also really bad when it comes to track limits. Makes us drivers sad.

[@WavveBoi]

Alot of the cars are wide boys and if you're on the limit your going to cross the line. Look at the double Apex coming off the long straight at Paul Ricard. The line is literally, in the run off.

[@naebalvas]

@@DavidPerel thanks for taking Your time to reply, i appreciate it. And it's a shame ACC doesn't allow running this wide in quali :(

[@ThePaperTradingGod]

Hi David! As someone who is an aspiring racing driver, I'm currently working on my business in the marketing sector and it got me thinking.. seeing that you have 21K subs, I was wondering.. do you think having a large social media following may make you slightly more valuable to a team? at any level, I imagine the higher you go maybe not... but at smaller pro series like touring cars and such, do you think a team would find value in a good driver with a large enough following? In hopes, it adds to the marketing and awareness for the team itself.

[@DavidPerel]

To be honest the teams don’t really care about a social media following, if anything it causes them trouble 😂 I have yet to pick up a sponsor directly relating to my social media reach so I wouldn’t recommend it being a focus of yours when trying to find sponsors.

[@ThePaperTradingGod]

[@i_am_slow_7233]

Hello, David.. I don't understand the track limits in this video are quite extreme compared to what I was expecting... Whats the deal regarding this?

Blancpain allow you to go to the green area. It’s the same for everyone so we maximize it to that point. Misano needs better curbing in my opinion.

David Perel nice! best of luck in all of your races.

[@dirklangohr]

Unbelievable how hard you are able to attack these curbs. If you would try the same inn ACC you would loose tons of time because the curbs unsettle the car extremely and have a very high friction so you are in big danger to spin.

[@DavidPerel]

Most simulators get the curbing wrong, not just ACC. GT Sport is too forgiving and iRacing and ACC are too aggressive.

[@DavidPerel]

100% I should I have been clearer: in the game the curbs feel much more aggressive under the car compared to RL

[@nothgiel84]

If u go tht wide on the curbs in the game ur lap gets invalidated🤔

Well.... KUNOS is marketing the game with "laser scanned track" and David here tells you at first: "kerbs in game are much more dangerous then in real life, we use much more kerb in real life"... How can I compare my lap times in the game with real life when I can't drive in the same way. First this thing with different kerb and second - if I drive like David here in the game, my lap will be marked red after first turn - "invalid lap". I realised this when started playing ACC. Then I watched some real races and I was shocked how much they use kerbs, cut corners etc. You would expect the game to be more "free" but finally the game is way more "strict" then real life = we can't really compare times.
