20:22 10 overtakes in 10 seconds. Unbelievable stuff. My GOAT

[@tokdo4960]

That would make the most epic youtube short

[@Jaaames]

🐐

[@StephenDeTomasi]

The secret was to just smash through a yellow... Too soon?

[@janbarththewall_3451]

24:14 Real life lap record in a SP9 (FIA-GT3)-car is from Daniel Keilwitz in the 24h NBR-race 2023 with the Ferrari 296 GT3 (WTM by Rinaldi Racing No. 20) with a 8:08,006 in the early morning hours.

[@reviewforthetube6485]

My best lap in acc is an 8:10:1 max got on the 24hour race yesterday his first lap in got an 8:09 lol. First lap! No warming up just stepped out of the f1 car. Lol

[@BadWallaby]

My pc would shit a brick with 110 cars on ACC 😂

[@yarneverminnen]

Same bro. I’m doing a 24h this weekend and I can only run 30 fps with mid settings with 100 cars.😢 I am so scared

[@rowancompen2052]

​@@yarneverminnen are you driving a 24h race on acc or iracing, if you drive the 24h race on acc how do you switch drivers onlie?

[@shollie]

Same haha, was actually afraid it could explode 😂

[@ERT_Timo]

​@@rowancompen2052its down to lobby settings. Lobby has to be set up with multiple drivers in a car and then you can select a different driver for the car when you pit but you can also do multiple stint ofc if you dont select amyone

[@alexanderstratmann9478]

@@yarneverminnenthere is a setting,, way down in the settings: Visibile Cars turn that down

[@DrGraspeeezy]

I bought this game about 4 days ago. Nordschleife is my favorite track and did not expect it to come right after I got the game.

[@Jaaames]

Good timing!

[@zachdoran10]

the fast left hander isn't the suspension bugging out, it's the car taking flight haha. with the minimum ride height being 70mm the merc is one of the cars that probably loses more downforce per ride height change so the setup is gonna have to be made to just try to regain all that front downforce. probably flip the arbs and max out the rake will help the car.

[@Jaaames]

Yup, you're right. I found out soon after that the minimum ride height at Nords is 70mm, no wonder I had no front end😂

[@JC21x]

I think the ACC community got lucky with the Nordschleife. We only got it because SRO are now involved with the N24

[@tyreserandall1777]

20:22 where that car went flying is actually so funny 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Jaaames]

😅

[@NWGJulian]

20:25 *„step-ferrari, what are you doing?“*

[@Jaaames]

😂

[@yuvix]

My experience with the Nordschleife is that minimum wing usually works better. Makes a huge difference in the 2 longs straights, and there's a good amount of corners here where having a more loose rear end is faster.

[@Jaaames]

Something to try for sure

[@reviewforthetube6485]

An 8:13 first run is absolutely incredible for your first hotlap in acc on it. My best lap is an 8:10:1

[@SALADE_DE_BIELLES]

20:23 Ferrari is always on top... even when it crash 😅

[@nozza_12]

20:21 average norchelife experience 😂

[@Hamzasuccess]

Designing that map with all that detail looks crazy ❤🙌

[@SashaKingUK]

lmao you got the wrong clock

[@Jaaames]

🤐

[@nobrakeapex]

That bump is real' Porsche cup just fly over that it's unreal but true.😅

[@Sean-ps3ec]

Same problem ACC has always had, The suspension is waaaaayyyyy to stiff no matter how you try and set it up. The cars do not absorb bumps the way they do in real life and you can see it in replays. Compare it to real cars who move and shift all the time

[@ludigaming333]

but i which game you have a realistic dampers?

[@Steven_DunbarSL]

So true

[@senseikawasaki2326]

@@ludigaming333never seen something like that tbf

[@ROBIN7682]

I always find it hard trying to transition from iracing

[@ladymaria9529]

Baldwin himself drove real life GT3 cars in races, and he doesn't complaint as much as u on how ACC cars behave. It's a sim. Go to the real one for authentic dampers, lol

[@EliotM]

That's really interesting for me to watch you James! You don't seem comfortable with the setup so there is a lot of turns where you lift (probably because of the car in general also). In the same turns, I went almost every time flat out with the Porsche 992. Yet your lap time is 15s better than mine. So as you said, it's all about keeping the rhythm, I might need to "slow down" in some places to just keep this rhythm, especially after the Carousel. Cheers!

[@Jaaames]

All about the rhythm mate

[@variant101]

When you say you have to lift…does that imply you should go over the “hump” and then touch the brakes maybe combining a gear down shift? This brings to mind that first huge hill on brands hatch, same idea?

[@Rezamajedi]

20:24 thanks for the guy that pushed you lol

[@Jaaames]

Eternally grateful

[@Ward413]

When does this come to console? I just reinstalled ACC on my PS5 and it’s still just the GP circuit - no Nordschleife to be found.

[@Jaaames]

Honestly not sure, hopefully it won't be too long

[@sygys]

I have been driving this in IRacing and it's almost a direct copy for as far as I can see. Nicely done

[@Leper_Messiah.]

Hey James, I feel that if you run this track in the McLaren, you will be faster. That McLaren is designed for a track like this and you have the most seat time in the McLaren. Try again in the McLaren mate and I promise you, it will be quicker, easier to handle and you will enjoy it more. Good luck champ, cheers.

[@davidgrannes22]

Funny enough the McLaren is probably one of the worst on nurb🙃

[@RL-]

Hey James. Have you experimented with aero here in the Merc yet? I thought lots of front splitter with low-medium rear wing would be somewhat decent if the rest of setup is tidy. That chundersteer in high speed corners is awful haha. I ended up switching to the Aston which feels considerably more agile.

[@OldManOnTrak]

I need to wait for the console version, but I don't know whether to be excited or petrified. Probably both!

[@Jaaames]

Definitely both😂

[@Hardcaslte]

Mmmmm yes another export to AC to look forward too lol. I love the Kunos AC version, can do laps with RSS cars all day.

[@Jaaames]

Yeah those exports are very good tbf

[@alexsp4853]

British: "noohdshlaifhe" Germans: "NoRRRtshlahifhe"

[@Jaaames]

[@jonnywalker1703]

Is this coming to console?

[@danut05]

New to sim racing, have the same monitor. Can you post your FOV and View Settings? Thanks.

[@_leymo]

Just play around with it mate...

[@Jaaames]

FOV 36 in the Merc on ACC

[@Cloxxki]

There's a clip out there of a Koenigsegg Agera R suppoedly hitting 400+ there. It just might be able to achieve that, but how to deal with the crest and bends?

[@Jaaames]

Scary stuff

[@rafiki1917]

Too much rear wing on these jumps so the car pitches when getting airborne, a frequent occurence in rally :)

[@CrashBandiii]

My PS5 comes this week, what time for this update!

[@MajorSpeirs]

James, the Eminem of Green Hell (most words per corner) 🤣

[@djuro14]

Massive crash and rolling over the line. Good stuff.

[@Jaaames]

What more could you ask for😅

[@CALZIa78ts]

Hi, super! Please could you tell how much gb space required? Many thanks

[@samulation5047]

the editor has good music taste

[@Jaaames]

We both do, hence why we gel so well😍

[@pierresilvanascimento9266]

Hi, how are you? I saw some comments from drivers saying that the Corsa Competizione asset is exaggerated, and that the car spins too much, especially on a zebra crossing (curb). what do you think? and that in real life the car is not as out of control as it is in the game!! what do you think?

[@TheM240i]

Ive driven here on a open track day and its bumpy but the curbs are to aggressive in this game

[@Jaaames]

I bet

[@aegean0019]

when does this track come to ps5?

[@matteo692]

James baldwin Setup f1 2019 . Thank you . I Not drive . You are very fast . Good job 🎉

[@purplex_purple7717]

So when i played it in Crete Greece, was that a mod? It was so fun, i was the only one to set a time

[@thesunnynationg]

8.13 as the very first Lap is alright i would say. top times maybe are around 8.08 should be a top 100

[@mustafaizzeldin4869]

do any of you know if ACC on PS4 is getting this update as well? :(

[@Graint]

Hey James I have recently switch from the bmw to the merc in acc and i have noticed that the setups I have used e.g hymo and mates sro setups and they have all had minimum splitter. I thought that you would have that on max to generate as much downforce to get to the diffuser. is the reason your running it and minimum so its not deadly at high speeds?

[@Jaaames]

Before the update there was no need to run the front splitter, but with this new minimum ride height, it might be a good thing to dial out the understeer. Not sure, haven't tested it yet.

[@madred1842]

Would be great to see you on the Ring irl Great drive mate!

[@Storm_591]

hi, i have the Same Monitor. can u pls make a video about your FOV or say your fov settings and the other settings

[@rookey8061]

What would you adjust to help with the under steer raise the rear ??

[@ucaaaaaaa]

I've tried adding some negative toe and slight adjustments to the arbs, worked decently well

[@davidgrannes22]

For the McLaren at least it was a game changer to have rear 90mm and front 70mm. It’s a bit snappy but it almost eliminates the high speed under steer

[@Jaaames]

Honestly there's a number of things you could try

[@recarsion]

Is it just me or does the rear end feel more planted now? The AMG at least certainly feels more understeery than it did with the same setup I've been using so far.

[@Jaaames]

Because the minimum front ride height is now 70mm

[@recarsion]

@@Jaaames Ah makes sense, I didn't spot that, thanks

[@Maartwo]

Bro ran out of fuel and was 3 seconds faster than me in a hotlap 😭

[@NickTheKangaroo]

James are you looking forward to experiencing Assetto Corsa EVO?

[@pablom8854]

do you feel any latency between the steering wheel and the image?

[@cobbomusic]

no it would be basically unplayable then

[@dct124]

Definitely more of a high downforce track. Most of the time is made in the corners. All track record cars have mid to high downforce.

[@buzzy6156]

There's a bug at 5:00 when turning LEFT? Increase vSOC no more than 1.3v for zen4. USB hitching for AMD USB can be mitigated if actually reducing SOC voltage to allow more power budged for the CCD and I/O chip. And lowering EDC PBO also can increase stability of the infinity fabric USB stability for ryzen source google: "Asus ROG STRIX B650E-F USB Ports Randomly Disconnect" 1) Update AGESA to AMI ComboAM5 1100...AMD USB BIOS Update... may have actually made it worse

[@bigsarge8795]

Great video. I just got my copy of ACC yesterday, so away we go...

[@Shifftee]

This is definitely last year’s track since this year it’s no longer possible to take the curb after the Foxhole (the one you took at 5:20)

[@Japspre]

.6 damage is probably just a scratch on a sticker

[@frederiquerijsdijk]

8:04 ❤

[@Hubris423]

how are people starting off with warm breaks?

[@Stu_Murph]

Which do you prefer, iRacing or ACC?

[@underdog8843]

rf2

[@Jaaames]

The gap is closing, ACC still edges it for me at the minute

[@karycaz]

James, have you ever played GT7, what do you think of the game and if you would like to stream it

[@zolofia5156]

Do you know when it’s coming to console?

[@Jaaames]

Not sure unfortunately

[@geogmz8277]

Ok you beat Misha, but Misha didn't know the GP track... (Allegedly).

[@degradedanimationandgaming6722]

I main the Merc, The car is stable and i like how it drives of controller

[@thesunnynationg]

1:10 I don't need more🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@monkeybase01]

You may need a softer setup and/or a bit more travel.

[@bikeomatic8005]

whats the trail braking?

[@rookey8061]

Cheers ill give it a try 👍🏻

[@Jaaames]

👊

[@Spartan168]

Is half the field armless or are they just using controllers?

[@mad7620]

Haven’t gotten a chance to check, at work. Is track already available or is this DLC?

I ran acc on a r5 5600x and a 3060 ald i must say it was struggeling on the 24h nurbur so i bought a new pc with the r7 7900x3d and the rx 7900 xtx, it runs so smooth now on max sertings

[@Albo_AK]

20:23 Lmaooooo

[@gerald9760]

Will it release on ps5?

[@ronniesealey]

do you know how i can add AI cars to my custom server bro

[@OptomusPrime666]

Nords is a low downforce track. hard to believe ,but true

[@GregoryShtevensh]

Makes sense. I get better times in a V8 supercar than a GT3, and that's with more HP, but thinner tyres and lower downforce

[@Supercar_TV]

The elevation is so good compared to forza

[@brentcaes6168]

Idk the correct way to go into the pitlane!!

[@Jaaames]

Approach with caution😂

[@AndersonPlays123]

Your set up has more downforce to the rear than the front?? Cuz my gosh your understeer is insane

[@AndersonPlays123]

In my opinion for this track you need more downforce to the front! And less to the rear if you are comfortable with that.

[@FelpsX44]

Idk too much about suspension setup, but maybe a more soft one wouldn't be better for the bumps?

[@ThaJay]

No his rear ride height is pretty high which means less diffuser but trying without rear wing could help

[@machonugget]

great video James

[@Jaaames]

🤝

[@Crisu-du7tt]

Could you please show your ACC cam settings

[@benjaminroberts7161]

This on ps5 yet ?

If they can do Nordshleife, they can do Sebring. Please Kunos, if you're listening, give us Sebring International Raceway.

[@Jaaames]

I do love a bit of Sebring

[@DEVIN427RACING]

Very disappointed that this did not release on console. I have to play GT7 to access 24 layout. 👎

[@SPiTFiRE_JiMMY]

So is nordschleife only for computer or is there an add on for console?? I’ve never understood why they didn’t have the best track known to man on their game. 😂😂

[@zachdoran10]

because it wasn't a licensed SRO track, until now
