Best beginner car | ACC | Learning Skills

Published 2023-12-08
How much can challenging cars actually improve your speed and enhance driving skills? Choosing the right car is crucial for learning new skills in Assetto Corsa (ACC) and other sims. Sticking with the same familiar car might hinder your progress in the long run

When i got stuck on setups this was place to go!

    Fully agree but once I figured out the Porsche I just couldn't drive anything else. Everything felt substandard. The Porsche is incredible.
  • @khorsus7403
    Very well said! I am a firm believer that you can’t be a 10/10 driver on one car without being at least a 7/10 driver on other cars. At least this is how I improved myself in 2k+ hrs time invested in acc
  • @Captivateitmedia
    Absolutely love your channel and content. Hope you never stop the vids..
  • @jeffcurran4111
    Well I been watching and today subscribed. I as new to this sim racing. Only been doing for 7 months or so. I have learned so much. I was a desert racer as a pro 14 time done the Baja 1000. I totally understand the different cars and really get what you say learn different lines from different cars. I now have started on the Porsche. It is hard but kinda satisfying. Thanks
  • @jamesbeilby8772
    I started with the BMW and pretty much only drove that. Recently got the update pack with the new cars and tried them all out and found the Ferrari and it suits me much better, have dropped seconds on most tracks, definitely think it’s worthwhile trying different cars as you improve
  • The 992 is a different beast. While others are trail braking, the Porsche just lifts off the trottle to rotate and uses the throttle again to rotate some more. I'm a first season Rookie in my community league, so I opted for tye Aston Martin, but when I'm putting my growth to the test in practice there is nothing more exhilarating than the 992. I've also used the NSX on tracks like Spa and Mt Panorama to good effect - nailing those fast turns over elevations in the NSX requires refined input control. Cheers 🍻
  • @Traction_Circle
    Agree completely. Only beginner but after establishing myself with the M4 I started changing cars depending on the setup guide. The 992 is crazy but fun, the ferrari seems easy fast without changing the setups much and now the M4 feels slow but is still close in lap time 😂
  • @GUN69_
    I feel like there are 2 groups of people in ACC: Group 1 - picks up the car and sticks to it no matter what (so you will see them driving GTRs, Hondas and even some driving Jaguar). They know that this is compromising their overall results but that is still fine. Group 2 - those who follow the current BOP trend. I have seen grid of 50% Mclarens, then it was Mercedes, then BMW, now it is Ferrari 296. I have to admit that myself belong to the first group and overall in my almost 4 years driving ACC I did only 2 cars
  • @ViejoRacer
    Totally agreed. If you want to grow as a driver is a good way rather than pick the meta car and try to win from the begining, build speed, build skills, the more complete driver the better, and lots of practice, Very much liked 😊
  • @brianstoneley227
    Great video, I was impressed so have subscribed, at the age of 68 I have only just recently started Sim racing, I am about 300 hours into AC and ACC. Having driven both , I prefer AC as it gives me more feel through the wheel , I will give your idea of trying the Porsche gt3 and think practicing in that car will help me get better in my usual choice of car and allow me to learn more about setups than I have already. I have evolved a good stable setup for my usual choice of cars and in doing so learned a great deal from the process. Thanks for the instructional videos , seasons greetings, best wishes Brian.
  • @DanielBORN394
    This is so true. I'm new to sim racing and only been playing on the Aston Martin until a week ago when I had the same thought as you. I switched to the Ferrari and also started practicing on Automobilista and have dropped a second on every track already. I am noticing things in the force feedback that I didn't before.
  • @justinwelsh7317
    I also apply this same challenge by trying different tracks. I find you can practice different skills at different tracks
  • @benloooo
    Startet with the M4 but will try the others aswell 👌
  • @karannsyt
    Great video, needed this because I’ve spend almost a hundred hours now exclusively driving the Aston and learning all the tracks I need to re learn how to drive with other cars, I don’t know what’s the best car to transition to though
  • @xcotex82
    I started the game with F488 it was really hard or even impossible to take some kerbs, the 296 is easier. I've also drove Aston in endurance, I'm a 1100 ELO in LFM, and I would like to try the 992 I always like to push myself out of my comfort zone. I try not to care much about the ELO. Good video I'll check your chanel for more acc videos
  • @kobi399
    The porsche is actually realy bad because when you learn it you have to drive it forever because every other car feels like an undrivable boat.
  • @thefan107
    My recommendation would be the lambo evo2. Not to easy not to hard perfect.
  • @kouya0126_
    I started out with the Porsche as well and when I got consistent times at monza I noticed it couldn’t get any faster. I also noticed stock settings doesn’t work with Porsche too well on curbs. And I’m not advance enough to mess with that stuff. So I figured let me try bmw. And boy my time dropped even more. So basically driving a difficult car made driving an easy car even more easier. It’s like you said. Learning the hard skills on a hard car works well with an easy car. With that said I’m going back to Porsche this week
  • only have like 15 hours and picked the 991 Porsche so that any other car should be easier. and doing fine. doing the medium career on easy since i dont know the tracks or stopping points. i got a moza r5 bundle with the load cell sr-p replacement pedals instead of the lite ones that come with the bundle.
  • @snippidippi
    If you want a quickfix to be fast/be able to drive any car in the game just get into the jaguar 😂😂😂
