There is nothing I can say about Spa that hasn’t been said already. In my opinion, if you were to ask every racing fan in the world what their favourite race circuit was, I think there’s a good chance that the Circuit De Spa-Francorchamps would come out in first place outright, let alone the top five!
Oozing magic from every corner, this place combines high-speed commitment corners with some of the most dramatic undulation found anywhere on a race track and some elegant technical sections. It’s a work of art, drizzled over the beautiful Ardennes Forest… Ahh somebody stop me or this is going to become a full essay very quickly.
If, unlike me, you can focus on the driving without getting distracted by the venue, here are some benchmark lap times to go after:
Pro - 2:16:00
Pro-Am - 2:19:50
Am - 2:22:50
My time - 2:16:90
I’m heading off to dream about the forest. I almost forgot, in this video I actually did talk about how to drive quickly around Spa, rather than just explain how much I love it… So check it out! In the meantime, let us know what you think makes Spa so special in the comments below.

Just got acc and I’m thrilled that I found your quality racing vids to help me out. Not sure if you played the original assetto corsa but acc feels much different, not in a bad way just gotta get used to it for a bit. Thanks for the track guides! Also what are the differences between the lap times you showed at the end of the vid? (Pro, pro am, etc)

@TraxionGG 3 года назад

Thanks, Jacob, glad you are finding it useful! These are just target lap times we've made up to give you some motivation depending on your experience level. If you are reasonably new to sim racing and learning the track, the Am time is a good one to aim for in hot lap mode. Someone with a bit more experience can use Pro-Am as a target time and the Pro time is what you expect the fastest drivers on ACC to be capable of. Hope you have fun with the game, it takes some getting used to but I feel it’s very rewarding once you start getting it right 😊

@gonuts4donuts 2 года назад

nice lap! Now I see where I need to improve upon on this circuit. I'm ~10 seconds off your pace with the Aston Martin V8, but it doesn't help I have little confidence in my pedals, (G920). I've been hoping to get a Fanatec V3 set soon and have a better feel for the brakes and throttle than I do currently, then get a DD wheel after that and see If I can improve further while squeezing out as much as I can with my current setup.

@altonb93 2 года назад

You will fall in love with the v3 pedals for sure! I had a g29 before this and it was well worth the upgrade. Have a clubsport v2.5 base and the v3 pedals and it made a huge difference. So much easier to trail brake and be more precise with the throttle and brakes. I would suggest getting the damper kit as well for the brake pedal at least it helps alot

Ye pedals will make huge difference. Trailbraking done correct can make you gain seconds

nice infos dude! :D i know all of these but what i cant get right is the eau rouge i cant get it flat out... my best time is 2:21 with a lambo huracan but im losing like a secont on eau rouge every time... maybe its because im playing with a 360 controler lmfao XD

@xarhsify 2 года назад

edit: i had a bad racing line apparently... rouge corner is tricky, when u watch it looks easy but when u actually go to learn it is soooooooo hard because imo needs 0 mistake and the best racing line possible to cross it flat out without going out of the track... damn spa is awesome! :D

@johjoh9270 2 года назад

New to ACC and simracing overall, and I've noticed something that you, and many other sim racers do and say and it's about keeping 2 wheels within the white line, I do understand that this is to prevent track limits penalties, but what I don't get is what is considered the white line, I really don't get it, isn't it the white lines on the asphalt sides? there at 1:46 when cutting the top left hand part, you're 4 wheels out of the line, no? yet you still said watch for 2 wheels in, unless line in this case is considered the top of the curb and not the white line on the asphalt, but if that is the case, then how does one know when each applies? cause I don't see where line on asphalt rule ends and curb one begins, another example is turn 6 at Misano, everyone just goes 4 wheels to the left of the line and don't get penalised but keeo saying they're 2 in!

@TraxionGG 2 года назад

Thanks for the comment, and welcome to sim racing! It’s tricky to be definitive, because even though there are often general rules and ideas, there are also always random exceptions which you just have to put up with. Normally the white line is the line on the asphalt, but when there is a very clear kerb that’s meant to be used during a corner, that white line is referring to the one on the opposite side of the kerb from the asphalt (1:46 example, the white line left of the kerb). Essentially, the striped kerbing can count as the circuit itself, so as long as you keep parts of your wheels on the kerb then it’s okay. It’s very tricky to be clear about track limits at every corner because sometimes it isn’t quite as obvious as it seems, and Misano is an example of that. You just have to learn for yourself how far you can before the game gives you a track limits warning/invalidates the lap. In real racing they are constantly tweaking the rules of what’s allowed and what’s not, and it’s the same for the circuit owners when it comes to their tracks. British circuits from my experience quite often change their track limits rules over the years, and some series also have different rules (check out Indycar at COTA compared to F1 at COTA for example). This is what makes it so tricky for games to get these things spot on every time, too many variables 😊 Best of luck with your racing, I hope this helps even though it doesn’t really make it much easier 😅

@remil916 Год назад

does the pro, pro-am and am times are dictated by the categorization in the game?

@TraxionGG Год назад

These categorization are in the game for the drivers and your driver level, but in terms of laptimes, it's more just a general gauge. Think of it as intermediate, advanced and alien lap times. These are simply made of references to give you guys something to aim for. All the best! 🙂

Wait you can go out onto the green thing on Stavelot, because I always have so much difficulty taking the next corner (Frere) flat out.

@TraxionGG 8 месяцев назад

You just have to push the limits until you get a track limit warning. Experiment with it and find the perfect spot where you can use as much of the road as possible without getting pinged for it! There may be moments where I thought the limit was the white line when analysing it from one angle whereas from another angle maybe it shows that you can go a little further over. Just about using as much as you are allowed when it helps the laptime. Good luck!😊

It could be a range of things but in particular it's likely that you're bottoming out on the bump at the top. Try increasing front ride height 2-3mm see if that helps. You will need to adjust other areas of the setup because it will make you understeer a lot more.

@sbk1198 7 месяцев назад

I feel like I'm missing something with this game. I'm literally doing everything mentioned in this video, yet I'm almost 8 seconds slower. In the first AC, several years ago, I used to be usually within about 3 seconds of the top of the leaderboards at most tracks. With ACC I'm like 7-10 seconds off. Makes no sense. From what I can tell is I lose most of the time going around the corners due to lack of grip. I can brake about as late as anyone and I get on the gas about the same time, but between that, between corner entry and corner exit is where I lose all the time and the car seems to just slide/understeer. If I get on the throttle any earlier it usually oversteers or spins out.

@TraxionGG Год назад

Don’t worry about those times in that sense, these are more just targets for motivation. A 2:22 isn’t the time of an “amateur”, more just the target for a first step into being super competitive online. It’s worth remembering these were made using the older tyre and physics model, and the conditions are ideal on hotlap mode. The old V12 Aston isn’t the quickest car either! Best of luck with your racing😊
