  • Getting Started in Sim Racing Primer
    Getting Started in Sim Racing Primer You are interested in simulation racing (sim racing) but you don't know where to start or how to get started. The purpose of this primer is to provide a good starting point for you to use to make the plunge. Like real world racing, sim racing provides the excitement of driving door-to-door competition. Also like real world racing you can spend a small amount of money getting started and as you progress in experience and increased interest, you can spend a significant amount. Sim racing is "scalable", which is good because as your experience and interest grows, there are more and better hardware and software options available to you. Sim Racing Software Titles Popular software sim racing titles are Assetto Corsa, Project Cars 2, RaceRoom Racing Experience, DiRT Rally 2, Automobilista, rFactor 2, and the most popular and most followed title, iRacing.com. For the second half of 2019, PCA Sim Racing will continue to use the iRacing sim platform. The pricing varies considerably and you can spend as little as $35 USD or much more depending on the title. A suggestion. Look at the recommended column. The minimum requirements are really minimum and most drivers will not be comfortable with the low end settings very long. Sim Racing Hardware To get started, you will need a recent game console (Sony Playstation 4, Microsoft Xbox One) or a moderately powered Microsoft Windows 10 based PC computer. PC computers that can run modern sim racing titles can be the same computer you use for Internet video viewing at home, or you may decide to purchase a new computer.

  • Assetto Corsa Competizione – Car Setup
    ASSETTO CORSA COMPETIZIONE – CAR SETUP 1. Run with default aggressive setup Use the default aggressive setup and set the tires pressure to 27.5 psi at the front and 27.5 psi at the rear and adjust the camber to have from 6° to 8° difference between the inner and outer of the tires. When tire pressures are set up properly, the middle temperature will be right between the inside and outside temperatures. While you’re setting the tire pressures, you can set the ABS at 6. This will help overheating or create flat spots on the tires if you’re doing driving mistakes. For example if the damage level is set to 100%, you can create flat spots on the tires if they block during braking and if you’ve also active the limited sets of tires, then you don’t want that to happen. You have to perform at least 3 laps to get a stable pressure on the tires. Also the Pirelli slick tires will have maximum grip during the first 3-4 laps, and then they will have a sudden drop in grip and then they will stabilize and wear gradually and slowly. You also have to keep the same tires set during this whole process, so you can track the wear for each tire. RST cannot be used to help to set the tire pressures and cambers, but we can check the values on the setup screen after our run. 2. Fill the car data in RST (part 1) a. Search for Wheelbase and Front Track on Internet (Wikipedia).
