ACC v1.9+ | Xbox / PC / PS5

Setup Mastery

The complete guide to understanding and tuning your GT3 car in Assetto Corsa Competizione.

What changed in v1.9+?

🛞

Wider Tyre Window

Optimal pressure expanded from a single value to a 1 PSI window.

🔩

Finite Bumpstops

Bumpstops now have finite compression. Stiffer springs needed.

📐

Camber/Toe Matter More

Camber and toe adjustments now have more realistic trade-offs.

Platform Stability Key

Ride height + bumpstop tuning is now the #1 priority.

Setup Parameters — Complete Reference

Every adjustable parameter explained in detail.

Tyre Pressure (PSI)

Range: 20.3-28.3 PSIStep: 0.1 PSI

The single most important setup parameter.

Camber

Range: -1.0° to -4.0°

Controls the tyre's angle relative to the road surface.

Toe

Range: -0.40° to +0.60°Step: 0.01°

The angle of wheels viewed from above.

TC1 — Traction Control

Range: 0-11Lower = more intervention

Controls TC activation threshold.

TC2 — Traction Control Cut

Range: 0-11

Controls how aggressively TC cuts power.

ABS

Range: 0-12Higher = more intervention

Prevents wheel lockup under braking.

ECU Map

Range: 1-8+

Controls engine power and fuel consumption.

Anti-Roll Bar

Range: 0-10+Higher = stiffer

Brake Power

Range: 80-100%

Brake Bias

Range: ~43-70%Step: 0.2%

Physics of a Corner

Understand the forces acting on your car.

The Corner: Phase by Phase

Click each phase.

Weight Transfer

Under Braking

Weight shifts forward under braking.

Key: Brake Bias, Springs, Bump

In Corners

Weight shifts to outside wheels in corners.

Key: ARBs, Camber, Springs, Rebound

Under Acceleration

Weight shifts rearward under acceleration.

Key: Diff, TC, Rear Springs, Rear Bump

Tyre Load vs. Grip

Grip does not increase linearly with load.

Total grip decreases with weight transfer.

The fundamental setup dilemma.

Aerodynamic Forces

Downforce increases with the square of speed.

Every aero decision is a downforce vs. drag trade-off.

Front ride height has 2-3x more aero impact than rear.

Damper Speed Diagram

Dampers have slow and fast speed ranges.

Slow damping controls 80% of what you feel.

Ideal: bell curve centered at 0 mm/s.

Tyre Slip Angle

Tyres generate max grip at 5-8° slip angle.

TC/ABS directly control slip angle.

Pressure affects slip angle curve shape.
