Sim Racing Setup guide Videos.

Following on from my last post with the Setup guide spreadsheet, I realised that a lot of the things I have learnt about setting up cars have come from really good youtube videos, There are a few youtube videos and playlists that I have found incredibly useful over the years.

I have made a playlist with videos that I have found particularly useful and hopefully i mean to keep updating it with new useful videos if and when i find them.

At the time of posting the majority of the videos in the playlist are from a youtuber named Dyr_gl PSN His videos are quite a few years old now and were based mainly around project cars 1, But the majority of the information he presents is completely transferable to other sims and presumably real life race cars. The videos themselves are fairly simple, but it helped me understand certain aspects of car setups that i had been really struggling to get my head around (dampers dampers dampers).

The only other video in the playlist at the time of posting is from Niels Heusinkveld. The video goes a bit more in depth on how different aspects of setups effect each other. in general its just a really interesting watch.

Anyway here's the link.

Setup Guide

I designed this spreadsheet to give me a quick cheat sheet on how to set up my car for different races. it also gave me an opportunity to brush up on some of the setup changes while writing the little bits of blurb. Basically you can tell it a simple problem and it will output all the set up options you can use to solve it. for example, Oversteer > Entry > High speed. It outputs setup changes in one of two columns. whatever column the setup change ends up in indicates that moving the slider in that direction will help with the handling issue you have given it. It also gives a brief description of the effect the change has on the car, to better help understand what change is best in the situation. It's sort of like a expanded version of the engineer setup option in project cars 2. once again a google drive account is needed to make a copy of this so you can edit and have a play wtih it.

Hello Just quick post, Using the setup up spreadsheet i've made a very basic print out to stick next to my rig, so thought i would share it on here as well, There is no particular order to how the setup options appear, so will need a little bit of knowledge to which changes to try first. It should give you an idea of how certain changes affect the car.

Pitstop Calculator

The pitstop calculator allows you to compare strategies, will work out how many times you will need to pit, and also by entering an inlap an outlap and your average lap you can work out the how much time you will lose in the pits, It also has an option to put in to different strategies to compare them. It gets a little funky if you put in additional stops. i'll need to figure that out at some point. You'll need a google account simply click the link and save a copy to your google drive.
