QUESTION OF THE DAY: What’s your favourite Hypercar in the 2024 WEC Season?
WEC: Porsche/Toyota, IMSA: Cadillac. Side note: Can't wait for AMS2 to bring us the recent IMSA content in a couple of months' time.
@@SimCurves I wonder what they will add man! Like surely Acura and Lamborghini. But how are they going to fix their online have no idea
Still the Ferrari - but how cool does that Lambo look and sound 😍
@@beanspretends410 did you hear the Bumpstart for it? Freaking mental
LMH Peugot, stands out as the most unique
LMDh Alpine and the Caddy, They are blue
I literally searched for this subject earlier today and there were no videos now this pops up, much appreciated
My pleasure mate, see you on track!
I dont even have this game, but this is a great video and explanation.
Thanks mate glad you liked it! Definitely give it a try someday it’s an awesome game 🔥
Loving the LMU content thanks very helpful
No problem mate see you on track!
This is a good video for LMU beginners such as myself. My rule is to take it easy on the few opening laps on cold tyres.
Thanks for watching mate, yes definitely that’s a good process to follow 👍
Excellent content. Thanks
No problem mate thanks for watching 👍
Hi bro, Im the guy you helped on saturday, finally i understand everything about the hybrid. Cheers👍
Hey brother my pleasure! Enjoy your Hypercar races🔥
Fantastic video. I’d been trying to work out the relationship between fuel, VRG and battery usage and this has helped a lot.
Thanks for watching mate glad it could help👍 any other questions about it let me know
For the fuel calculations, i found another way that for me at least seems easier:
1- find the hybrid deployment where it is neutral or recharging just a bit per lap
2- Do some laps on race pace (say i'm comfortable doing 1:35's in monza)
3- After doing a lap i feel i can do consistently, look at the fuel tab on the MFD, divide the fuel used by energy used (Basically calculating my fuel ratio) and set it on the setup page
4- Plan my race on energy use since i figured out my fuel ratio and energy use per lap
I find this easier because since i'm using a deployment that is (usually) recharging the battery a bit, it means i'm taking more fuel than i need (given the fact that i'll be draining and charging the battery during the race by turning the deployment up and down just one setting) so i won't have a problem with running out of fuel, the extra fuel should't be enough to weight me down, and in some calculators i can just put 100l max fuel and use the energy used per lap instead of fuel to plan my stints
The fuel estimator from the SimGrid even shows the amount of fuel (or energy if you put the energy values there) for the last stint
Yeah there’s definitely more than one way to do it! I’ll usually put an extra litre or two in cos I’m paranoid like that 😂
Nice video - thanks dude :)
No problem mate see you on the grid 👍
Thanks! Needed info to approach LMU serie.
My pleasure see you on track!
Good video, well done.
Thanks for watching mate glad it could help 👍
Thanks for this very informative video mate, appreciated. Not on LMU yet as too little time to spread my gaming into but saving this for future reference!
Thanks as always for watching brother, give it a try when you get a chance you will love it 🔥
@@alexkayracing Will do bro, I'm sure I'll enjoy it!
@@Wilayaat awesome mate see you on track maybe!
Top man. I have only done 2 races in the HY both at Le Mans 3:27-28s the cars are fun. This video has helped me with the fundamentals as in my first race I had a dreaded S&G penalty for using 100% VE.
Hey mate I’m glad this video could help you! Yes I love them they give such good racing especially when you start putting gte cars in the mix 🔥
I finally bought LMU 2 hours ago and you come up with this too help me 🤣❤
My pleasure mate enjoy!
I just shared on the LMU Community (Forum). Cheers DB
No problem mate glad it could help, and thank you for sharing it!
Hello Alex, congratulations on your live shows. It seems to me that you have a spectacular setup, one of the best I have seen in simracing.
I have watched your videos to know how you capture those images, they are spectacular and very realistic, I would really like to know what camera you use to take them.
Thanks and congratulations.
Thank you brother! I am using a go pro hero 10!
Many thanks for this video!
The fuel estimations for a race really should be in-game I think (when the devs get around to it). It feels fairly obtuse to rely on external calculators, as nice as it is that they exist
My pleasure! Yeah if you’re right it is silly to have to rely on an external calculator. You can kind do it in your head if you’re good at simple maths as well, but still abit of an unoptimised process
Very good video on this subject although I would have liked to see a mention on the LMH/LMDH motor placements and their deployment and Regen level differences, as this does affect their energy management strategies aswell as LMH’s becoming AWD upon Hybrid Activation.
I just wanted to keep it simple mate, one uses battery whenever the throttle is down, the others use battery after a certain speed. When you start throwing the other stuff in there it becomes complicated for newer players, I don’t wanna turn people off
Tha,ks for the Tips
Also what Dash are you using on your Lmp-H ?
Hey mate no problem thanks for watching! I have dashes for all of the LMU cars, you can download them from our discord here: discord.gg/JnMmhkP6
Nice vid dude. I couldn't work out the Braking maps at all. Now it makes sense!
So you wouldn't use 100% of virtual energy in the final pitstop, because that will extend your pitstop? Even if there's no more actual fuel going in?
Yes correct. If the final stint is only about 11laps, there’s no point filling 100% virtual energy because that would be the same thing as in ACC if you were to fill a fuel tank to full when there’s only 30 minutes left in the race.
You’re making your pitstop unnecessarily long and costing yourself time.
For example in real life WEC if you only filled 30L fuel but 100% Vitrual Energy. After the 30L of fuel is put in the car, the pit crew actually have to stand there and pretend to fill the car until their Virtual Energy bar reached 100%. It would just be a bad strategy
But the game doesn't allow you to add a fixed number for your last stint, you have to account for the percentage left when you pit. It's especially noticeable in Le Mans because you will waste anywhere from 1 to 6% at each stint compared to prior calculations. If I need 237% for 1h35min at Le Mans, my last stint will most likely be 50% total instead of 37%.
You can also use your mfd to see how much % you are using per lap, then just see how much race time is left in the last stint and then just multiply the amount of laps left by % used per lap. I finished my last race with 0.4 laps worth of VE left so it was fairly spot on
Thanks very much from the video and you great at explaining it , but it all sound a bit to much to just play a driving game I was going to get it But not now .
That’s okay bro no problem! That’s understandable, don’t forget you also have GTE and LMP2 cars in this game which do not have to worry about all of this stuff
Hi Alex,
I really like your content and I'm looking to get better in GTP cars. With your help I hope I understand the physics and the feeling of these cars. However, can you let me know your Fanatec settings that I could try as well as the ffb in LMU, please? This Sim is awesome but I wish there could be more timeslots at any weekly or special in future.
Hey mate thanks for watching! They are really fun cars that give such exciting races. You can find my fanalab and in game ffb settings in this guide before here: czcams.com/video/UHMKVieEz8U/video.htmlsi=PacTN6ZMDAj8GKJk
@@alexkayracing I'm getting the feelings on LMP2 and good pace but portimao isn't the best of my track knowledge at all. Definitely not with a GTP.
I look forward to view/ receive more content from you for sure.
@@dennishausen4067 it’s probably the worst track for the gtp because they can’t really get up to speed there, thanks again for your support mate 🙏
Do you have a guide Alex to recomended graphics settings, & i am really struggeling to get the settings right with my I7 9th gen, RTX 2070, & 16 gb ram. All is fine in practice/testing.
It was a lot better before the last big update for some reason :(
Thanks for the video! Great stuff :)
Hey bro check my optimisation guide for the game! Thanks again for watching 🙏
@@alexkayracing Thx! Will definetly be checking once more, & see if i can implement more changes :)
@@eriknaamot no problem brother🙏
Do you have any suggestion to heat tyres more? I tried closing the ducts so the brakes get hotter but the difference is kind of zero. Even in SPA yesterday for the Weekly Race with air 16 track 24 circa, I had trouble going above 80 something. Now I'm trying to heat wet tyres in 14 air and 18 track but I can't get above 60. Less camber does a bit but still not enough heat. Thanks!
Hey brother I am using the HYMO setup for spa and it seems fine, I’ll have to check what the tire temps are tomorrow
Fantastic Bro ❤ ( salvo_simrace )
You are number 1 brother🔥
