Sim Racing Setup Guide 12 - Audi R8 LMS (2016) for Assetto Corsa
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 08. 2024
- Welcome to the final part of this sim racing setup guide. This video details how I built a setup for the Audi R8 GT3 car in Assetto Corsa, thereby putting into practice some of the things I’ve talked about over the last 11 videos. This series of videos is intended to give beginners an overview of how to set up a car in any of the modern racing sims.
Throughout all 12 videos, I have been describing in detail the various aspects of car setup and how to bring all of them together to build a car setup.
The first 10 videos explain the ins and outs of each setup area, trying to explain the how and the why. Then, video 11 starts to bring everything together and talk through the process of building a setup. Finally, I’ve included video 12 as a case study of an Assetto Corsa setup that I created for the Audi R8 GT3.
If you're watching this video at the time it goes live, I plan to have all 13 parts uploaded within the next week. If you want to skip to any specific sections of the Sim Racing Setup Guide you can do so using the following links:

![Are you making these MISTAKES when braking [Sim Racing]](/img/tr.png)
This series should be made mandatory for every new sim racer to watch! As a new one myself I found it very helpful to get a grip of an otherwise quite unappealing subject to approach on your own. Very well done!
Thanks Karl, much appreciated. I'm glad people are finding the series useful - it was just as unappealing to make!
This was a great way to finish series.
This was the best by far - MORE CASE STUDIES PLEASE!!!!
Different cars diff tracks.......
YES! Another group of videos, with “general” advice (obviously all cars would be different) for how to set up for: Silverstone, Spa, Monza, Monaco, Suzuka, Interlagos, Brands Hatch, Watkins Glen, Bathurst, LeMans, etc
There’s a tiny little bit of work for you to get your teeth into Chris Haye, hehe 😀
Yes please! A couple more case studies with different cars / tracks / issues would make this already awesome series even better.
Thanks for the excellent videos, which have to a large extent de-mystified setup, and already an an impact on my lap times and (more importantly) enjoyment.
Yes please. I would watch the hell out of a case study series!
No, thank you for using your precious free time to make these. I've learned much in the process of watching these.
As a younger man i have messed around on racing games for years. Now as a older guy and have free time i have decided to explore Sim racing.
I think most that dabble in online racing whether like me it was grand tourism and Forza, we rely on finding or buying set ups from others. As you mention, those set ups that are so good for them, maybe not so good for me.
I really thank you for putting all that time in to making this series, as i know feel i have some clue in how to go about things. Great stuff.
You don’t need to thank us for our free time .... we all need to thank you for putting this together in your free time. The whole series was excellent .... so thank you very much
It's been a year and a few months on from the original release date of these tutorials and boy, am I glad I found them. I don't play Assetto Corsa (yet) or any of the super-serious sim racing games but I do play a lot of F1 2019. I used to always want to adjust the different settings of all of the parts, and I know my way a bit around cars so I figured out what some of the stuff does, but having it explained to me so well in video form helped me out a LOT. It's crazy how much your lap times can improve when you deviate from the stock settings the game gives you! Thank you a lot for this series, it's mind-boggling why this series isn't more popular!
Thanks Chris! I watched the entire series today. It’s still brilliant a year on. But just a heads up, I’ll be weaponizing this information against you in 5 days 😂😂
I’m taking part in a Gran Turismo Sport tournament and in two weeks is gonna be the first date that we are allowed to actually tune up the cars. I came to CZcams for some video on how to set up a car properly and found a whole playlist created by an amazing human being. Thanks a lot this really helped me understand many on the things I was confused about. Like dampers,gears,LSD and anti roll bars.
I've enjoyed every bit of this guide. I made myself a setup cheat sheet not long ago and I've found plenty of utilities to help me understand the components over the years. This guide brings it all together. Every part is well explained, and to go as far as to do a setup video explaining your setup/thought process shows you really have a passion not only for sim racing, but in helping others get better at what they should be doing and what they should be thinking about when testing. You've helped me make some adjustments to my approach, and I'll be more comfortable in feeling I'm adjusting something for the right reason.
A setup depends on the driver and the track as much as it does the car. A different driving style could mean different adjustments need to be made, but due to curbs or bumps or temperature in the track surface it may be better to choose another component to get a similar result. I understand that better now that I've watched this playlist, and that's only a small part of the knowledge you dropped. I'm just happy I've learned something from this community, I never thought I'd get so much value back from this hobby I love. Thanks again for your amazing content!
Chiming in to give you the credit you deserve on these videos. They have provided an outstanding groundwork for developing setups and to grasp the basics of the different settings.
Thank you man appreciate it. I was crashing all the time on nords with the standard r8 setup before seeing this. Now i'm 20 secs faster than before. Left a subscription. You've earned it!
Genius! This is exactly what I was looking for after years of reading advice! A practical demonstration of problems is the only way to put solutions in context. And a problem solving guide too?! You should be in the Queen's honours list sir!
I paused the video before you cured each issue and with my notes I could predict each area of adjustment just as well. I watched every video and learned what you promised. Great job! Thank you for sharing. Also these case studies are excellent practice for us! I would watch more of them...
Watched the whole series. Excellent, calm representation of car setups. Well done!
You know whats funny, the setup guide that you showed at the end of the last video I didnt get from you, I got it from a friend. I was recommended this series by my friend when I asked him how to setup a car, and I was not disappointed. It may be a little older but it still describes every main part of a car you can adjust. Thank you CH 😁
This has been put together really well, taught me quite a lot and I don't have a fear of tackling setups anymore!
I look forward to seeing more case studies where you're putting this in to practice.
Thanks Chris!
Thanks Sean - glad you're finding the setup videos helpful. I was thinking I should probably add another case study or two now the dust has settled on these!
just watched the whole series and just wanted to say thank you i made so much notes to remember everything, and wanted to learn setup work for a long time and your videos where perfect, your the bomb man thank you soo much and hope you have a great content creation carrier and you also have a nice rest of the day. plus you just gained one subscirber
Thanks a lot for this very complete guide. I've been studying it for 4 hours. Now it's time to apply the principles, and as you said, trust about our gut. Thank you.
Great series. Your presenting style is spot on. I think these videos will be referred to by the sim community for many years to come. Thank you.
As a newbie to the world of Sim racing I found this whole series to be a brilliant introduction to understanding the complexities of a race car set up. I almost got to the point of giving up as some of the base set up cars were unusable, and I didn't know where to start with the settings. Thank you for creating, sub from me!
Fantastic series mate. Years later aswell great job.
I've just finished watching these tutorials after two weeks of translating this series into my native language to word file. Tomorrow I'm starting to work on my speed and to put into practice what I've learned here. I have to say one thing: Chris, you are amazing. The whole series is very rich in knowledge, and the beautiful graphics have made it all more glamorous. I learned a lot thanks to you. Thanks a lot for this fantastic content. I can't believe I got such a valuable series for free.
Honest and sincere thanks for making this series. Very helpful. Thank you!
I watched all the series and i can tell you this is the most complet and very well put in beginner sim racing setup guide on youtube! Liked and subscribed! Thank you Chris!
Thanks a lot for making this series, even if I’m 3 years late to the party. I’ve seen these values quite a bit in games like Forza, and while it’s commendable that Forza tries to explain them at all the explanations blurred together to me. Now that I’m dipping my toe into proper sims (which I’ve owned for years), those setup screens seem much less intimidating. Capping the series off with an example from start to finish was just icing on the cake. Fantastic series overall, and I’m sure I’ll come back to it after Fanatec finally ships my wheel
watching this now, years after it released and god i learned a lot with this :) thank you Chris and respect for you to make time for this. defenetly needs some attention tho. love to you and this all here :)
Excellent series. Great for us rookies. Thanks so much for putting this together (and the tip sheet is very helpful)
Awesome series. A lot to digest and unpack but very useful and helpful. Thanks again
Incredible series of fantastic explanations!
Great series and excellent production quality. Thank you.
A great series of video with such a great ending. Many many thanks for taking your time to teach everybody who didn't know that much about racing setups. I don't know how much hours went into this project but for me it was always a pleasure to join your tour.
You are the best.
Well explained, very concise and highly informative. I am learning a lot about stuff that has very confusing to me. Thank you and God bless you!!
brilliant, thanks for taking the time to do this, its making mroe sense now, cant believe someone gave a thumbs down? probably driver 61 ;-)
Well put together series, watched them all in one sitting and plan to go back and rewatch to further digest the information and apply it to AC. Kunos should hire you to do setup tutorials for their next game (akin to Tom Brooks and GT Sport)
Mr Haye, terribly late to this party but can I just say encore!!! That was brilliant. Thoroughly enjoyed this series and amazingly beneficial to me even though I almost always tune up the cars but you have taught me to listen more and do less :) I do have one request and perhaps you can start a series where you do exactly what you did in this video. It will be super interesting to see your approach on different vehicles and perhaps even attempt to knock out the bumps on the Pesky Renault Clio in PC2...
And just to finish .no dislike at all in every video; that explain alot how good the content is.
Congratulations for making such quality videos, with clear and simple explanations for such complex parameters. Cannot imagine a better entry point for new simracers for building our own setups.
That was a great series. Congratulations on the great work.
Well Done Video Series I've watched most and will watch the rest. You have a talent for educational videos I'll say that. The thing on setups for a beginner being a beginner myself is don't listen to people who say setting up a car is for final .10 differences in speed. I just started with IRacing a month or so ago and I know EVERY car I've been in at the least needed tire pressure and camber adjustments for good heavy breaking on any track. Default setups under heavy breaking always sends me into a spin. few clicks here and there and the car feels like its planted. I'm currently testing my understeer situation and loved the advice to break down the turn into parts. Excellent advice. I'm still trying to train myself to properly differentiate those changes in feel.
Thank you for the knowledge of this series. You are the only one on CZcams, that goes into detail about car setup. The sheet that you made in your last video is extremely helpful. I use raceroom because it is free. I found this racing sim on your other CZcams video. I use competitions, so I can see my results on the leaderboards. I am happy I found your channel, and knowing this knowledge helps me drive any car I use, to it limits. I come from America. I appreciate your willingness to help new people like me, to get started into not only understanding the car, but the engineering aspect as well.
Thank you so much for making this fantastic series of videos. The content is very well planned and executed together with brilliant voiceover. I rarely comment on videos but this series is in a class of its own and deserves positive praise. Kudos to you Chris for creating it.
Thanks Thorsten - much appreciated. Hope you found them useful.
What an awesome series! So well structured and perfectly explained.I have learned a lot and now finally have a basic idea how all the settings work together and impact my car. Thanks for the great work:)
Awesome stuff. I agree. More case studies would be awesome.
Thousand thanks for all of this job!
This is a great series!! I have a long experience with sim racing but never really understand setup (alsways copied setups from youtube, and hoped it worked with my driving style). But this series really helped me to understand making a good setup!! Great job!!
The serie was great and I will use it for future reference, thanks 🙏
Chris, I've watched this series and I've learned a lot. Thanks to you, i was able to overcome almost every problem the cars I drive have. My average time with the z4 gt3 at spa was reduced from 2:24 to 2:21. Even though i didn't break the 2:20 mark, the car was at least more tamed than before. Thank you so much.
Great series Chris and thank you for the setup guide sheet.
fantastic job Chris, help me a lot with this series.
Very well explained Chris.
I am really happy that I found this series! I managed to find 2 seconds at the Nurburgring in ACC just from setup tweaks (and after realizing what I was doing wrong)
Awesome series. Will try to apply this in iRacing where possible
Thanks for this Chris! Awesome series
Thank you for making this series and especially the tuning guide! I hope you make more tuning guides in the future for AC. It was really helpful to see how you fix negative behaviour of the car
Finally understand some parts of setups I did not before. This series did help me.
Nice job!
Have to say this was an incredible setup guide/series. I replicated a lot of what you said with a few personal tweaks and now I actually enjoy driving the R8 in ac! Great video(s)!
I followed this series with great interest and look forward to getting some piece and quiet to try out all the knowledge that you have emparted. When my 4 year old is not wrecking cars. Many thanks for the series.
You are hugely under rated! Thank you Chris for making our lives easier :)
Fantastic series,well done 👌👍
Thanks for a fantastic set of videos Chris. I understand what goes into a racing set-up much more thanks to the simple way you've shown us. Its nice to see a pro sim racer find time for those of us just getting into this great sport... Tony.
Thankyou for this series!!!!!
I really appreciate the teaching and your time as much as your commitment to us ... you are a great teacher for the easy way to show the parameters in each video ... as always a like and see you in the next video
Great vid as per usual Chris. The subject matter has been tackled by others before but I find each time I watch these kinds of guides I pick up a tip or two that my brain just wasn't very receptive to last time around. As always, keep'em coming. :D
Love the series, these videos have helped me out a lot. I'd love to see more case studies with different tracks and conditions. Keeping the car pretty much the same would help illustrate the difference those variables make. So maybe a longer and more high speed track next time so you could get to playing with aero a little more, maybe a rain setup at some point in the future? :)
Chris, Thank you that was an awesome set of Race craft videos , I have had my pro lic. since 1992 in the real world, I wish I would have had a video like yours to explain and teach me how to get started, you realy know your race craft thanks Donald
Amzing series Chris, thanks so much!
thank you for the wonderful series.
This series was fantastic. Great explanations and very informative. Thanks for taking the time to makes these 👍
This was so fantastic and great to watch for someone who couldn't quite get their head around it until they see and experience it. Please make some more exactly like this but in different car/track combos and can you please look into qualifying setups aswell? I personally already make a half decent race setup but I lack about a second and a half in qually times all down to my setup, I just don't know how to set up a fast 1 lap car that mostly relys on mechanical grip
Thanks Chris, really awesome series of videos. I have distributed it amongst our simrace forum here in South Africa and I am sure a lot of us will find it very useful
Thanks again for your great work. Great and very helpful series.
Thank you.. I enjoyed every chapter. Nice format too. Best!
Thanks for these great vids Chris...it's allowed me to have more confidence to tinker with the settings of the cars I race. I especially liked the process of evaluation you went through in the last vid to establish a good race setup. Cheers.
thank you so much for all the work you have done on this series, the quality of all of your videos is so good, and joy to watch anything you do :)
Excellent series! the setup part of sim racing can feel overwhelming, this series helps SOOO much! can you do a Force Feedback set up video?
Thank you. This is an awesome video series.
Fantastic series Chris. Thank you for all your effort.
Thanks Repoman - glad you found the videos helpful.
Amazing job mate! Top notch series, thank you for taking the time to do this.
Great Series. Thank you for taking the time to put it together... I am going to have to go through and rewatch, but I have a much better understanding, and learned a lot.
Fantastic job on this series Chris!!! Thanks so much for all your work sharing these with us!!! Now, new to race room, I just have to figure out how to run the software...
Awsome series, put together very well.
I've been involved with sim racing for years but always been more on the drift and rally side of things and always struggled with "race car" settings and slowly worked it out by myself but good to know I'm on the correct path for settings .
Wish I had come across this much sooner 😂
Job well done on this series Chris. Straight to the point, good illustrations, well structured and I could go on.. Keep up the good work! Ps as other people have already mentioned; more case studies please!!! Cheers
Thanks Simon, much appreciated. This series took a huge amount of work, so it's really great to see people still finding the videos useful!
Loved the series. You have given me a great toolset going forward with my sim racing.
Cheers
Great series of videos! I tried and failed to make a guide like that several times already. So I know how hard it is to not mess up when trying to convey the mountain of extremely tangled minefield of a knowledge that are setups in such simple short form. Really impressed by how it turned out, and the positive response you got, Kudos!
Seeing as it is the end, some nitpicks to consider in the future come to mind:
- front and rear ARBs are interchangeable, there is zero difference* between softening front arb and stiffening rear. And while I must say that it "sounds right" to use front ARB to balance corner entry, there is no reason not to use rear ABR there and vice versa.
- You say that rebound should be > bump but never note that in cases where damper stiffness is shown in "clicks" this difference can already be present in the clicks. So a newbie could double down on it with clicks, creating extreme difference.
As always there's more, but i understand the scope of the video and you are doing brilliant job at it, so im going to cut it and let people enjoy your content. :) Cheers!
* - We could find some extreme cases where it's not true, but in principle both ARBs influence the same one variable: "roll stiffness difference between front and rear axle", which is responsible for load distribution and therefore grip balance.
Thank you so much I did not see this one thanks again. Thumbs up
Thank you for the whole series. Really enjoyed it and helped me a lot. Keep up the great work!
Bravo Chris! Thank you for making this information digestible and applicable, now time to go apply it...
Lovely series
Great series! Now it’s time for me to implement all the information. Thank you for the great videos and in-depth explanations.
Still the same Chris video quality as the first video ...just perfection , from wording to introduction explanation and tone .There very little we can do to help him except one " minor " thing .Patreon ... how we Chris friends must do ; helping him with this project /dream/ mmmh job ? Hobby ...honestly whenever I jump into one of you video I'm always Hypnotized wether is a job or just a well made content. Chris Haye .What else? :) ( probably copypasta a media).
Hey Vincenzo - thanks man, I really appreciate it. I must admit, I haven't given a lot of thought - maybe it's something I should look into for the future.
Anyhow, I'm glad your'e enjoying the videos dude !
Thanks, Chris. Most helpful sim racing youtuber.
Great series, thanks.
I'm looking forward to trying some of your tips -- Thanks Chris!
Setups are still a dark art to me, but you have helped shine a little light on them. I'm not good enough yet to be able to identify what to adjust to get a car stable for me, but hopefully I can start to use your tips in the future. My main issue is confidence in the front end of most cars I drive. It feels vague in nearly every car I get into. This could be my wheel (Logitech DFGT) and if it is then I'm stuck with it as I can't afford better LOL. Or, it could be just me as a driver, which I'm more inclined to believe :)
very good series thanks
That was really good and I loved the final video really tied everything up. However (and it might just be me wishing for more videos in this series because it was that amazing) but perhaps another car track combo case study would be nice. However as is the series was still super useful and I will definitely be referring to it in future
Chris, WONDERFUL series!! THANKS!!
Thanks Gordon - hope you find the videos helpful.
Chris this is amazing and very comprehensive brother, thank you so much!
Excellent series of videos! Very informative! Now, I just have to figure out what the heck you were talking about.
Great series, looking forward to working with that cheat sheet. Side note, I really wish Assetto Corsa would let you practice a single section over and over.
