ARCA Setup Discussions

[Bram Hengeveld]

Guys normally we are very open in sharing those little files, where are they for this game

[Mark A Warmington]

Haven't got one yet. But as soon as I have one that keeps me out of the wall and on the grey stuff I will be happy to share

Just don't expect it to be a fast setup ;)

I noticed it is the best to first practise with the default setups which are very good drivable, i only change tyre pressures a bit.

I need to find out what several settings mean, setting up this cars is a bit more difficult then other racegames, everything has to be asymetric depending on the degrees of track banking.

[Jarrod Crossley]

Ok so your setting up your car and your quite happy with most of the mechanics but your wondering what to do abot tyre temps.

Well heres is a general rule that should help:

You want to have the track low side of the tires about 15 degF hotter than the high side of the tires after a good consistant run of around 10 laps.

You want the center of the tire to be the average of the inside of the tire and the outside of the tire

It's big, it's long and when you finish reading it, you're about 10 sec per lap faster.

LOL Yoeri. Thanks for the site. Now I wanna see your laptimes

[James Johnson]

lol same if he goes 10 seconds faster i will stop simracing

Here is something i have been using lately in VHR to set up my car, It works a dream,
I cant remember who posted it at RSC, So thanks to that mystery man! It works a charm.

I might have been slightly enthusiastic there, but the I think it's a very detailed giude that might work very well if you manage to understand it to the full extend.

The plugin creates HTML files like the one below that are organized into sessions (Test, Qualifying, Race), runs (every time you leave the garage), and laps. Each time you head out on the track, the plugin takes a snapshot of your setup.

Now officially included with the Patch 1.128.

[Sascha Henken]

Placeholder for the new upcoming track Rockingham (The Rock). As soon as the track is released, feel free to post your setups in here.

[Gareth Hickling]

As the latest patch 1128G has new physics for certain tracks your old setups will not work as well as they used to. Time for a rework

Kansas, Nashville, Montreal, Daytona and Talladega all have new physics, You may aswell scrap you old ones

[Bram Hengeveld]

Bringing in some new Gaz ?

[Bram Hengeveld]

Rockingham anybody?
