Onboard: Flying laps at Misano in a Ferrari 488 GT3 

Please don’t buy a new mic. Currently you sound like a onboard team radio and that adds to the feel. And - great stuff I love it!

Love the onboard stories as always David. Top notch commentary and driving.

Track Limits in Misano : Am I a joke to you ? David Perel on Misano : Yeah ?

Thanks for taking me as a "passenger"; most enjoyable! Would like to know why you were penalised and lost P1.

If I could Go back in time and find a new career it would be one of two things. 1. Race car driver 2. A navy seal I honestly would if worked on trying to become one or the other if only I had known haha. Its just fantastic david shares with us. He’s the man.

I had no idea how to take 4-5-6 in ACC, so this is certainly educational. Maybe I should hop in a certain green Ferrari and do some practice laps...

Another top video, thanks for posting and good luck in your races.

Congratulations!!! You will achieve your racing dream by driving at LeMans this racing season. Good luck. My racing dream is to drive in the 24H of Spa-Francorchamps.

Lovin'it. As well as the near unobstructed view of the road.

I love these onboard vids!!

Interesting this track looks a lot more "worn in" in real life with the markings etc . The Misano in-game looks box fresh!

Thanks for taking the time to bring us these amazing POV’s. I’d love to see highlights of one of the races. Great learning experience as well as entertaining!

I mostly watch motorcycle racing, but it's crazy how fast cars are around a track. You were only around 3 seconds off the pole time in MotoGP, and they have SO much more straight line speed. The difference around tracks like Mugello might be a bit bigger though (Marc Marquez did a 1:45,5. top speed almost 350 on the straight).

Great laps, thanks for the video. Have to say, I am really amazed of how similar ACC is regarding cornering, gearing and acceleration in these cars - hopefully we'll see you in your own car in ACC one of these days :)

Although being a bit late, thank you very much for this video, coming very handy, I am just about to start my race weekend in Misano (ACC)(in a McLaren though). It is truly amazing how accurate these simulations have become…...

David Perel: 1:34.73 ACC: "Cut detected, your lap time has been invalidated."

Easy to see the track as well as your steering input thanks to your great camera work and high vis gloves. Keep up the great work David!

Really great video! Thanks for sharing

I feel so caught. Will continue playing ACC now.

Amazing driving.

Man Alive!! You are seriously good at showing us what its like in reality. GT online breaks my back

Good luck David in all ur races... We love you & ur videos no matter the results... All the best from ur biggest fan in Ireland 😎

thanks

Hey this was on my birthday! Thanks David

Another great video! I don’t have Assetto Corsa Competizione, and I don’t know Misano at all, I’ve barely seen it. But this video helps a lot from a interior perspective, I’ll know what Misano looks like, and how to drive it. Now, another track is added to the list of tracks I learned from David Perel.

This circuit is so fun and easy its one if the only tracks i kind of enjoy on the blancpain calender (and spa monza and nurburgring of course)

Hey, just saw your vid on GT world, nice one, you have a superb working spot. I was asking myself, perhaps you can make some footage from Zandvoort, breaking points, overtake spots on the circuit, race lines etc, that would be nice.

I was watching your race today at zandvoort you looked great I saw you went from I think 12 to 3 it looked amazing but then I think you pitted and switched drivers and fell back but you looked amazing

Aprecciate your effort for uploading all these videos.

Thanks once again for your onboard and commentary, David ! I´d really love to try out the exact setup you were driving in this video in ACC just to see how it´d feel compared to what I dial in :) Sucks that you were penalized, but such is Motorsports … but on the bright side : there is always the chance of striking back and stealing all the P1´s ;) Good luck for your next races !

Great video as usual david. I think misano is avery underated track , the last half of this track is so fun to drive has a great flow to it .

Keep amazing us with your channel quality, thanks a lot David !

Thanks man really cool

Please tell your engineer to connect the cable of the brake imput telemetry. Good video as always!

Love your vids man!

If you keep putting out this type of quality content I might on your bumper in a M6 next season.

Can you do a full tour of you car. I wanna recreate your livery in gt sport

Amazing onboard David. U r sending it 👊. Best of luck at Zandvoort 👍

I remember they changed the lap direction on Misano years back. WSBK and MotoGP were deemed unsafe I think. Great flowing track. Love Imola too.

Those black and yellow "sausages" on some of the corners are brutal. Nevertheless amazing video.

Brilliant!

Engineer probably: "Hey David, be aware of track limits, will ye?" David: "Track has limits?!?"

Great video. I dont understand why tracks dont raise the apex and get rid of all the cement behind the apex, looking at your lines, the apex of the corner was on line the grass

I really love your driving David, your one of the best if not the best! Can you make a story about your incident in brands hatch that caused other cars to crash? what happends after an incident like that? thanx and keep pushing my man!

I'm taking nearly the same line in ACC and my best lap is a 1:34:2 with the lambo (I'm going flat through T6). I definitly think that ACC is a very good sim.

F in chat for kerbs

amazing how close acc is to the real deal.

Love it love it ............

Superb , informative video as usual ! curbs are very inconsistent in ACC, and grip in general , feels really right to me at Silverstone but not for instance Spa or Brands Hatch , that’s even after the latest update , but when it’s good ACC is stunning.. I hope kunos listen to the people that know ( e.g you and Nicki ) and sort these discrepancies.

Good stuff!

Very good!

Dave have you ever been to the Sim Racing Expo at the Nürburgring? This year it will temporally overlap with the Blancpain GT Race ;)

Use the same line in game will be " lap invalided" lol. Great video!

Magnifico Parabéns

I love the 488 in rfactor2

Nice video

Amazing stuff! Very late hear but was wondering what you would compare the feel of the real force to that of a sim? Is it like 20nm and when is it light and when has the most force?

It looks very much like laps on ACC.

Mate, I'm doing similar laptimes in ACC. I think it's time I spoke to Michele about getting a seat in one of the cars :D

Looks like your patreon page is blowing up too!! Congrats!!

David, can I have one question about transmission? In older sim-games I played, it was always possible to tune the gears. To adjust transmission to each specific track... - say very short gears at Monaco vs. long gears for Monza. How is it with these GT cars. Gear ratio is not possible to tune? How is it? You have to drive all the season (all tracks) with one setup....? I was wondering about this since there are tracks where you don't even go to 6th gear... Thanks in case you find a time to reply. I am curious about this.

I checked the race results for blancpain world series at misano i noticed ur team was 2nd on pro/am series yet the fastest lap set was 3rd overall matching the top 2 in the entire lineup. Will you be featuring an onboard story of ur race in misano?

really dont understand how going 4 wheels off tarmac every second turn is OK with Blancpain...

i bought acc because of your videos. thank you :)

Could you post the setup please. I can’t seem to get below 1:35. What wing level do you use?

Hi David! As someone who is an aspiring racing driver, I'm currently working on my business in the marketing sector and it got me thinking.. seeing that you have 21K subs, I was wondering.. do you think having a large social media following may make you slightly more valuable to a team? at any level, I imagine the higher you go maybe not... but at smaller pro series like touring cars and such, do you think a team would find value in a good driver with a large enough following? In hopes, it adds to the marketing and awareness for the team itself.

You make so much time up by taking such aggressive curb use on the inside of the corners, does the Ferrari have a better front end than most of the other cars?

Fantastic content David, so grateful you're doing this for us couch racing douche-bags. Watched this particular race live and was always excited when I spotted your car. :) One question: I'm a total FOV-bitch in Sim Racing and my dash on the screen shows up IRL-scale. Only thing I don't know is how much distance you have between dash screen and wheel. Any idea, roughly? (I know it's different in every car - just to get the idea) Thanks a bunch and keep 'em comin'!

When I saw this race, a lot of drivers went wide at a few turn. especially at the last turn.

Unbelievable how hard you are able to attack these curbs. If you would try the same inn ACC you would loose tons of time because the curbs unsettle the car extremely and have a very high friction so you are in big danger to spin.

David, will you be racing at the 24 hours or Spa Francorchamps this year?

How long did it take you to feel confident braking hard but safe in the flatout right dogleg?

Will u release an onboard from a stint in 24hrs of spa?

Hello, David.. I don't understand the track limits in this video are quite extreme compared to what I was expecting... Whats the deal regarding this?

Ähnlich schnell wie die 488 Challenge heute 1.35

Them sausages aren't much of a deterrence on that track eh lol

can short shifting make your lap time quicker?

David!!!! Could you please upload your actual Ferrari 458 livery on GT SPORT??

So, what happens to the used qualy tires?

He either does not brake at all or the red brake indicator is dead. It's been since March for sure. Look into that please instead of a mic update. :)

Do you play iracing?

Do you own any exotic car for your personal use since you are a racing driver?

So much for track limits! Least from camera pov looks like all four tires off track several times on a lap to get fastest time. Also seems like you are kinda manhandling the car around this track and most sims/games aggressively going over curbs like this really upsets the car and causes spins though I haven’t tried ACC.

The track limit abuse although legal there it hurts my eyes a lot ;-; here in particular though, nowhere else.

I came here to compare real life to ACC. So now I can tell that ACC is not accurate. Your driving style is quite aggressive and you use the kerbs (entirely sometimes). In the game I would not validate a lap driving that way. Thank you for sharing. Great video, great quality.

If u go tht wide on the curbs in the game ur lap gets invalidated🤔

Who tells you where you can and cannot go off-track?... And WHEN do you get told, exactly?...

Um. You can definitely abuse the kerbs in the game too...

Well.... KUNOS is marketing the game with "laser scanned track" and David here tells you at first: "kerbs in game are much more dangerous then in real life, we use much more kerb in real life"... How can I compare my lap times in the game with real life when I can't drive in the same way. First this thing with different kerb and second - if I drive like David here in the game, my lap will be marked red after first turn - "invalid lap". I realised this when started playing ACC. Then I watched some real races and I was shocked how much they use kerbs, cut corners etc. You would expect the game to be more "free" but finally the game is way more "strict" then real life = we can't really compare times.

You basically got lap time invalidated when you so aggressively attacking the curb... Real life is better...
