Tips for beginner riders
- Disable the “Brake temperature” option. In the Realism settings menu, before the race, you will see the option to simulate Brake Temperature. For a novice rider, it’s best to disable this option. This way, your brakes will always work at full power, and you don’t have to worry about warming them up before use, and you don’t have to worry about overheating them.
- Add additional controls in the settings one at a timeto fully immerse yourself in the race, while you will understand how these settings affect the lap time.
- Use the outside-inside-outside scheme.Strict adherence to the boundaries of the race track is imperative in order to show an excellent result in time. In order to stay smooth when cornering, you should not accelerate to full power on straight sections and fly into a corner at the last second. The Assetto Corsa Competizione mimics the grip of a tire and a suspension, so it is very important to avoid sudden wheel movements. The golden rule of thumb for most turns is to approach the outer edge of the track, pull up inward as you pass the center of the turn, and then carefully return to the outer edge. You should practice this approach with every car you will drive and on every race track, and at a speed 2 times lower than your maximum speed. This will help keep you fluid and remember the specific features of each turn.
- Examine the section on aerodynamics and rear wing height in your car settings. The rear wing can be set between 0 and 20. The higher the value, the stronger the attraction to the rear of the car. Correct setting of this value improves vehicle stability at high speeds, which is especially important for the most powerful sports cars.
- Keep track of your progress. Recording your time results is a great motivation tool that helps you track your progress in different weather conditions and on different cars. Your natural driving style may be better suited to certain types of vehicles. It is also worth adding a few notes regarding the settings for each lap time, which will allow you to see how changing one or another setting affects the results.
