ACURA ARX-06 GTP // INTRODUCTION

Introduction

The information found in this guide is intended to provide a deeper understanding of
the chassis setup adjustments available in the garage, so that you may use the garage
to tune the chassis setup to your preference.
Before diving into chassis adjustments, though, it is best to become familiar with the car and track. To that end, we have provided
baseline setups for each track commonly raced by these cars. To access the baseline setups, simply open the Garage, click
iRacing Setups, and select the appropriate setup for your track of choice. If you are driving a track for which a dedicated baseline
setup is not included, you may select a setup for a similar track to use as your baseline. After you have selected an appropriate
setup, get on track and focus on making smooth and consistent laps, identifying the proper racing line and experiencing tire
wear and handling trends over a number of laps.
Once you are confident that you are nearing your driving potential with the included baseline setups, read on to begin tuning
the car to your handling preferences.

GETTING STARTED

Before starting the car, it is recommended to map controls to adjust the Brake Bias and Traction Control systems. While this is
not mandatory to drive the car, this will allow you to make quick changes to the driver aid systems to suit your driving style while
out on the track.
Once you load into the car, getting started is as easy as selecting the "upshift" button to put it into gear, and hitting the
accelerator pedal. This car uses a sequential transmission and does not require a clutch input to shift up or down. However,
the car's downshift protection will not allow you to downshift if it feels you are traveling too fast for the gear selected and would
incur engine damage. In these situations the downshift command will simply be ignored. Upshifting is recommended when all of
the shift lights on the steering wheel have changed to red.
