#Audi R18 Setup at BRIDGE and PORTIMAO

Hi all, just want to ask a question, I'm mostly driving the R18 at the moment on the Bridge circuit and ofc there is the usual issue, questionable driving standards blah blah blah
but I'm just wondering if any of the fast drivers among this community (those who can think and breath at the same time and make T1 without committing mass murder) have a setup that is good for that?
I'd mention I currently have limited throttle control (I left my pedals at home and wont be visiting till the 6th so I am using my clutch paddles as break and throttle 😭 ) so also a couple tips on how to slightly edit the setup to be more forgiving would be great
I searched youtube to see what other people can lap and the best I have found was mid to low 0:59's I'm currently at 1:03.XXX on this setup and could previously hit 1:01 on occasion
Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you for your time

(Driving tips are somewhat moot due to said goofed setup but will attach one once I have pedals in just over 2 weeks or so)

Current setup:

Base: MOZA R9
Wheel: MOZA FSR Formula
Pedals: MOZA SRP Pedals (When I have them with me)
Monitor: 2560 x 1440 (I prefer VR and have a Pimax crystal headset)
All in a PSR1 sim rig

#

Further info but slightly less important: From watching the video I already have some changes I want to make to my setup: less wing at the rear and less rear ARB as the car already dives in as I would like (more than enough) however could do with better grip round the longer bends

#

From watching the video I have noticed the following points:

  • The car is far less bumpy (I assume softer springs and less ride height)

  • On turn in the car is not quite as snappy and has minor understeer but through the corner remains consistent

  • My use of the track width is a little less when it comes to kerbs but this is due to trying to hit consistent laps so am avoiding going right to the edge (This is also possibly a confidence issue)

  • I am a little shaky on power delivery (this is due to using TC, I would rather not but as you can imagine a clutch paddle does not allow for the best in trail braking and smooth input of the throttle

  • His top speed is far higher over 270kmh whereas I am stuck at about 250-260, I wonder if this is due to a hybrid system I am currently struggling to deploy?

if its purely about setup, why not post in #🔧│car-setups ?

When I get home I will record a lap and post the medal link here, the view is quite choppy due to some issues I'm having with VR (I will ask that below all this in a different ticket) but to preface this there are some other things I need to add:

I cant turn TC down yet, using a clutch paddle makes it impossible to deliver the power smooth enough (however I will revisit once I am back to full rig)

Other setting changes are fully welcome, tips that would be most helpful are the following (For driving)

  • Better braking points and lines to take
  • Where on the track I can extend further (I am not confident on track limits
  • Car behaviours I need to watch out for

if you have issues recording in vr then record from a replay in pancake

Will do, many thanks 👍

#

make sure to include your inputs

#

TBH wont be too helpful as I cant improve those without pedals but may help provide insight into my issue

better to have them than not

#

I don't want to call anyone out of course but I have noticed historically I get that alot when in a situation like that because people skim my post

#

but belive me it beats playing on controller

#

HOWEVER tips about my wheel inputs are 100% welcome (I enjoy running fairly high FFB (by most ppls standards) so you will notice alot of the wheel making tiny movements on things like kerbs/during small slides, I find it works as an almost automatic countersteer sometimes

#

BTW Can I go back to a session from say, earlier today and view the replay or do I have to do it in singleplayer and purposefully select it?

#

I set a pretty nice lap I am proud of last night

west rivet
#

check replays, it should be there

(Nice by my standards currently, I dont think for a second that a 1:03 is impressive)

when you test setups you want to be as consistent as possible, which seems to not be the case now

lost acorn
#

I can be consistent just not as fast as before

#

what I wanna do is post this now, if I get the setup what ill do is save it as it is, then make minor adjustments for a setup that works for what I have right now and when I have pedals revisit this

#

dont get me wrong, I am on the clutch paddles but I am still on of the faster drivers in the open servers (not impressive I know) and want to stay as competitive as I can

#
  • who knows, perhaps after what will end up being about 3 weeks with the paddles I'll develop the fine motor skills to use them and be fast even with them 🤣
#

A bit like people who play other games with a controller and are fast etc etc

#

would be a pretty funny gimmick to have

#

about some previous post, i dont think r18 has any hybrid system

lost acorn
#

I didnt assume it was moddled as I havent been able to enable delivery, push to pass or MGU-K but wanted to check incase I was dumb

#

purely a low wing?

west rivet
#

ballast from assists, wing, fuel, throttle, rack, draft

#

i have no info

lost acorn
#

I have noticed on other games (Le Mans Ultimate and Assetto Corsa) other LMP cars havent been affected much by their front "wing"/splitter so have put that to 3 (the max) and ran a lower rear wing, is it also the case in raceroom or does that front splitter/wing make a different

assist ballas is def not great for me but its not the worst (10kg) I've noticed alot of others at 25kg

#

I will say I like that feature

lost acorn
#

what is Rack?

#

and could it be gearing? I've noticed I'm just about topping out my gearing maybe 3 seconds before I hit the breaks for the last turn

west rivet
#

snap, sry, meant rake 😄

#

do you use engine map 5?
