Touge Life #1 GT86 Hotlap (4.52.780) PK Akina [Assetto Corsa]

[@ofnir123]

You know, it feels so great coming back to these videos after a few months of learning touge racing, and actually understanding what you're seeing!

[@SlayerSuch]

I love your Content, no commentary to disrupt the driving just text and tunes. Exactly the kind of stuff I like to have up while im working. Please keep uploading!

[@PM_DraKKar]

been meaning to upload more! schedule lately has been very packed. Got few ideas for next 2 videos atleast!

[@fernand.g]

Truly brilliant driving. Your pedalwork is really smooth and controlled. It would be awesome to have a footcam in your future videos!

[@PM_DraKKar]

hmm maybe for a future Time attack vid I can do that! tho the very next one unfortunately wont have it

[@TAXMAN177]

dude you are my fav sim racer!

[@420KushBig]

Great run, the t1 cinematic was cool af

[@stormzz8157]

Your corners are amazing I’ve been trying to run sub 5s in the gt86 and I just can’t figure out how to shave 6 more seconds off I think I have now realized how to, I drive the same exact line just with worse cornering

[@Dominik-v2b]

0:24 SHEEEEESH NICE WORK ON THAT CORNERING if i was driveing i woud eat the rail and give up ngl like the content man i like theres no comentary gt86 is my 2nd fav car the 1st one that i have is the ae86 but its rivaling gr86 for the 1st place continue the work

[@LOLHICRONO]

what a great lap

[@dajh9739]

Damn I gotta pull out my old wheel and try this new akina Nice job

[@duanJ_aka_wfoundry]

Watching this one year late, I just recently Installed PK Akina and must say your skill and speed is something different

[@yes.yesiam4155]

nice run! I have 2 questions, did you use the e-brake? and is dropping to 1st gear applicable to the 86T? I'm a new and inexperienced driver!

[@PM_DraKKar]

yea gotta use e-brake on the new PK akina for sure for the 86t assuming you have the shortest gearing I'd assume 2nd is fine for majority of the map as the pwr/torque is alot better in the 86t than the GT86 (which is why I use 1st alot in this car) you can check out thicc dads run in the 86t for some reference specific to your car too kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJ-5eJl_i7GegJY&ab_channel=thiccdaddycool

[@yes.yesiam4155]

@@PM_DraKKar Thank you for answering, I actually have watched daddy’s run as well. Been binging pk akina runs from experienced drivers like you to find out how my driving style should be on the new Akina

[@calati0n]

@@PM_DraKKar what do you do with the e-brake? all I can imagine is throwing out the rear end and oversteering

[@PM_DraKKar]

@@calati0n e-brake is used to correct an understeering situation, most commonly in this run its used to correct mid-corner understeer. By doing this technique you can point the nose of the car to the exit faster, of course its a fine line as you can easily over do it with too much e-brake and induce an oversteer situation which is just as bad as understeering in most cases in time attacking.

[@lautaroalday7225]

Yo DraKKar nice run chief, wanted to ask you what FOV and NeckFX settings are you using? mine began to feel uncomfortable recently and yours looks way better, thanks in advance

[@PM_DraKKar]

i think for this vid i forgot to turn it on, but when I do have it on just for videos I use default settings FOV: is also default value as i play in VR

[@lautaroalday7225]

@@PM_DraKKar oh alright thanks, quick question, do you use an H Shifter or do you use the Paddles?

[@PM_DraKKar]

usually H shifter unless am forced to paddles

[@darkdaejang429]

Hi bro, sick run! I thought that i was getting good in my firts month playing simracing but daam that's crazy precision what u have man! Also what's the song's name pls?

[@PM_DraKKar]

The run can def. be improved! long term goal is to achieve a 4.50 someday with the GT86 since i feel 4.51 is right around the corner with some minor corrections. Song: Cherry - Lonely Night

[@darkdaejang429]

@@PM_DraKKar yeah there's always room to improve man, thanks and see you on the touge!

[@ItsLukeCollingham]

Drakkar, i could ask you a question? What is your setup on the gt86 for pk akina ?

[@PM_DraKKar]

iirc max negative camber front/rear, 26 psi front, 28psi rear, stock toe all around, 1 liter fuel ill double check psi on setup when i get back home Edit: Yes this is correct PSI

[@everythingegg1331]

ive been studying this video like a hawk i just gotta know man how to transfer your weight so well into the corners in second gear its a little hard to tell in the video but are you shifting back into first right after releasing the brake?

[@PM_DraKKar]

In this vid am using the handbrake quite a bit to get more rotation, I have it binded to a button so I just tap it like 2-3 times to get the car rotated just right. Once am rotated enough depending on how I feel about the exit I may just goto 1st gear, you can see that pretty often in the first few minutes of the run. I don't main the GT86 or drive it often enough so my handbrake usage is a result of lack of experience in the car. I think if I spent more time in it I could maybe start rotating the car more with trail braking and retuning the car versus handbrake spamming.

[@everythingegg1331]

the hand brake never thought of that, sittin here trying to get those angles with clutch brake and throttle work and i just couldnt @@PM_DraKKar

[@everythingegg1331]

im gonna keep going without the handbrake as i never use them lol, i got the first few corners down pretty well just struggle in those hairpins a bit@@PM_DraKKar

[@stormzz8157]

@@PM_DraKKar(mobile account) just wanted to thank ya man last night I was running 504s and that was with a few sloppy corners, so I know if I run a good run im looking at sub 5s big help brother!

[@someguy9496]

Do you have traction control on?

[@PM_DraKKar]

I do not, its actually slower I believe and also the server settings don't allow it to be enabled

[@someguy9496]

@@PM_DraKKar impressive, fastest time i have is 5:13 how are you able to control it so well on second gear? I find myself understeering a lot on second gear

[@PM_DraKKar]

@@someguy9496 I also find the GT86 kinda understeery, aside from trail braking i also do tap the e-brake to help coax the rear end around a corner as well add some "toe-out" to the rear to help encourage it to step out so it will rotate.

[@lukebransby2800]

recently iv been really getting into touge on assetto corsa, I have two questions. Is there any way that u practice in particular? And are there servers dedicated to races like in initial d? i found the tl servers were just people crashing on turn 1 and 2 lol

[@PM_DraKKar]

practice its either grinding out the touge your on and seat time in general. It took me 2 years before i was ever competitive time wise. TL has other servers too free roam to be specific where you can mix/match a variety of cars todo touge battles

[@necrosislol]

Hello! What is the mod to change style of player names?

[@PM_DraKKar]

you can just enable view player names in the AC settings on content manager. I think it might be under csp ill have to dig for it again

[@necrosislol]

@@PM_DraKKar I meant the design of the names above the machine. Looks like it's some kind of mod

[@keisukepaws]

Do you use handbrakes on the corners?

[@PM_DraKKar]

only on specific corners like tight hairpins its very situational depending on if you get desirable rotation before the apex of a corner

[@keisukepaws]

@@PM_DraKKar Yeah thought so, did the same but my fastest time with that car is 5:06 ;-;

[@epicwarlord58]

How'd you get the car to slip on the hairpins? All I get is understeer.

[@PM_DraKKar]

quite a bit of handbrake usage, I think with more experience and a retune I could get the car rotated more with trailbraking

[@ImInTheMaking]

does this have ABS on?

[@PM_DraKKar]

sorry been working on my essays as of recently but yes! ABS on when it is available

[@themaynardman]

ON for literally any abs capable car

[@samarthsachdeva3214]

@@PM_DraKKar thanks a bunch

[@Daniel-od1hq]

how are you flooring it around turns and no sliding?

[@PM_DraKKar]

car makes no torque so you can mash the throttle quite a bit

[@wonderfullbtw4767]

still cannot understand why increasing ur tire pressure give so much grip ( feel unrealsitic kinda

[@PM_DraKKar]

In a general scenario it does not, but in this instance optimizing the psi for a specific part of the map outweighs the negatives when its over pressured by the end of a run. Being too low on PSI as well can have worse effects than a tire being overinflated.
