ACURA ARX-06 GTP // SYSTEMS
RE AR M A S T ER CYLINDER
The Rear Brake Master Cylinder size can be changed to alter the line pressure to the rear brake calipers. A larger master cylinder
will reduce the line pressure to the rear brakes, which will shift the brake bias forwards and increase the pedal effort required to
lock the rear wheels. A smaller master cylinder will increase brake line pressure to the rear brakes, shifting brake bias rearward
and reducing required pedal effort to lock the rear wheels.
BR AK E PRES SU RE B I A S
Brake Bias is the percentage of braking force that is being sent to the front brakes. Values above 50% result in more pressure
being sent to the front, while values less than 50% send more force to the rear. This should be tuned for both driver preference
and track conditions to get the optimum braking performance for a given situation.
HYBRID CONFIG
MGU-K DEPL OY MODE
The Acura ARX-06's hybrid system can be set to one of five deploy modes to alter the target State of Charge (SoC) for the end of
a lap. Each of these modes will use varying levels of energy throughout a lap to reach a target, and thus some will produce more
power over the course of a lap and faster lap times at the cost of discharging the battery.
•
No Deploy - In the "No Deploy" mode, the Hybrid system will not use any energy stored in the battery. This essentially disables
the Hybrid drive system and will only charge the battery throughout a lap. This is only available in Qualifying and Test sessions
and is used to fully charge the battery before switching to Qual mode.
•
Qual - This mode is intended to be used on flying laps during qualifying sessions and will attempt to use all of the battery
charge during a lap. This is only available during Qualifying and Test sessions and should be preceded by the No Deploy
setting on outlaps and warmup laps to ensure the battery is fully charged before switching to the Qual mode.
•
Attack - Attack mode reduces the target State of Charge to use more power during race sessions to help with overtaking.
Generally the laptime gain from this mode is not enough to offset the loss in pace from having to recharge and recover from
using Attack mode, so it should be used only when it is absolutely necessary to complete an overtake. This mode can also be
used on the final lap for a burst of speed since the battery is no longer needed. This mode is only available for Practice, Race,
and Test sessions.
•
Balanced - The Balanced mode is the primary Race mode for the Hybrid system. This mode will attempt to deploy electrical
charge to reduce lap times as much as possible while still maintaining a reasonable State of Charge over the duration of a lap.
At the start of a session, it will take a few flying laps for the Hybrid system to learn the track and optimize deployment for the
best lap times, and this mode is only available in Practice, Race, and Test sessions.
•
Build - The Build mode will attempt to build battery charge as quickly as possible in the event of a low battery charge or if it
is needed prior to switching to Attack mode. Note that this will compromise lap times significantly compared to Balanced, and
it's important to switch back to Balanced mode once the battery has charged to avoid losing harvested energy and to prevent
unnecessary loss in pace. This mode is only available in Practice, Race, and Test sessions.
