I would if work wasn't so crazy. I may have a more concrete schedule in a month or so. If that does happen I will definitely join.
 
This a great tutorial/pep talk with the head of handling and vehicle R&D for ACC's developer, KUNOS Simulazioni.
This tutorial is a starters tutorial on where to begin with ACC acclimation and tuning. Very basic, but very effective. I have begun every setup using this as start point, and then work out from there. Hope this helps for those having any trouble finding pace or consistency.

ACC/PS5 Pirelli
Porsche GT3 Supercup
Pre-Race Drivers Briefing
Event #1
Friday, September 16th
9pm est​

Alright fellas, our 1st Event of our inaugural season of the Porsche GT3 Supercup series on ACC is finally here. A few points that we should note before tonight's Event:

- ACC is not GT7. Driving in ACC requires much more precision and an elevated need for clean racing than we have been afforded. Contact should be avoided at all costs. The smallest of bumps/contact can unsettle an opponents car. Be patient, and make sure to get heat in those tires before digging into the battles. Hold your lines and respect other driver's lines and space when battling.

-All in game penalties must be adhered to and served if necessary. (Drive Thru [DT], stop & go [S&G], track limit, etc. Warnings for track limits, keep on racing...just be mindful to not do it too many times as it will result in an ingame penalty.
Along with the ingame immediate penalties, we will still be reviewing incidents when reported. I encourage drivers to pm me with any incidents that are in question.

-No pitstops required (except penalties/repairs), and no cautions are available for this series.

-If you are unfamiliar with the rolling race start procedure, see below:
Once the controls unlock, place the car in 1st gear and begin moving forward. Be sure to keep the car within the green bars range, and take note of which side the indicator is directing you to. (You will get a penalty if out of position). On approach to the start/finish line, keep the slider in the green up to the startung lights/green lights. (do not exceed 43mph (69kph-ish) on lead up.

-With the 2 month lead up to this series, plenty of links and resourses have been made available for getting the game setup sorted, controls sorted, and some instruction and understanding for tuning in ACC. Please review this link if necessary:
ACC/PS5 New Driver Setup Help

-We will be running a Reverse grid procedure for Race 2. Since we are capped at 16 for the party chat, it will be imperative that all drivers review this procedure and understand the process. We will have a limited amount of time between races, and we will all need to be on point for this to go smoothly. If unsure of anything, please ask before the room opens. Please review this link carefully, and ask me prior to the room opening for clarifications.
Manual Reverse Grid Procedure - MUST KNOW

-Please be prompt when the invite is sent at 9pm est. We have 10 minutes to get everyone in the room before the 15 minute Qualifying session begins automatically. Please be in the room as soon as possible and please make sure your presets and all setups are in order before entering. Only thing you should need to do upon entering is load your preset tune if you have one.

-After qualifying, be sure to select "Return to pits", and PLEASE BE SURE TO SELECT "DRIVE" before the 30 second timer runs out. You will start from the pits if missed, and we will not restart.

For tonight, we look to have at least 18 drivers confirmed for the event, with possibly up to 20 for Race 2. Drivers who miss race 1 will start at the back of the grid in Race 2. Grid Order will be called out.

Race room will be run through the Private Lobby feature and is accessible thru "Invite only" Please check your PSN message list to be sure you're on the "ACC Porsche Supercup Invite List". Message me prior to 9pm est if you have not been added.

Invites will be sent out and Race room will be opened at 9pm est sharp. Please be prompt, and be sure to load your tuning preset prior to qualifying.

Also, Party Chat will be opened with invites sent to the same group. Limited to 16, so first come first serve. Party chat will be open during Free Practice sessions, and during the Race 2 manual Reverse grid procedure (Q2). Please make sure mics are muted for Q1, R1, and R2.

Good luck to everyone racing tonight, and see you all at race time.

PS: Last shot for drivers to establish their team entry before the season. I will accept team entries after this event, however, any point scored prior to a team being formed will not count toward the standings.

Looks like the new 1.8 update is coming September 29th. So, whatever we've learned from race #1 is out the window, as we will have to relearn the new tire and physics model. :nervous:

Luckily, we will all be dealing with the same changes, and the fact that each track will require its own scratch built tune, we should be able to adjust accordingly. Not too worried.

Fantastic!
Absolutely would like to run the series.

I’ll get to the time trial, pretty new to ACC so I’m sure I will safely run near the back. 😂

All drivers are to verify that their privacy settings for PSN are set to accept group invites, and that they are included in the "ACC Porsche Supercup Invite List" group chat in PSN.

Post Race Report
Event #1 from Silverstone ​

Great racing to all drivers who made it onto the grid for Event #1. Some good race battles were had across the field, especially in Race 2, though there were some incidents noted as well that we will chalk up to being our first event. I'm certain the racing will get better as we get more acclimated with ACC and each other which will in turn minimize the number on racing incidents across future events.

Below are the Scoring results for the Event:

Congratulations to our podium finishers. (@llNovall recieved the tiebreaker due to the higher race finish placement of the event, over both races)
