Page 4: A Message From Iracing
2023 24 Hours of Daytona as a replacement for the ARX-05 that had run for five years under the previous DPi rule set. Acura continued its previous relationship with constructor Oreca to build the new car, which would debut in the hands of Meyer Shank Racing with Curb-Agajanian and Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti Autosport;... -

ACURA ARX-06 GTP // INTRODUCTION LOADING AN iRACING SETUP Upon loading into a session, the car will automatically load the iRacing Baseline setup [baseline.sto]. If you would prefer one of iRacing’s pre-built setups that suit various conditions, you may load it by clicking Garage > iRacing Setups > and then selecting the setup to suit your needs. -

Dash Configuration Vital information relating to the car’s performance and driver-adjustable settings can all be found on the digital display integrated into the Acura ARX-06’s steering wheel. TOP CENTER A banner across the top of the display shows information about the current and previous lap times. - Page 9 ACURA ARX-06 GTP // DASH PAGES CENTER COLUMN Gear Indicator Currently selected gear, shown in the center of the display Tire Pressures Live tire pressures, shown below the Gear Indicator for each tire Tire Surface Live surface tire temperature for each tire...

Pink lights indicate front wheel lockup and yellow lights indicate rear wheel lockups, with lockups becoming more severe with more LEDs illuminated.
- Page 11 ACURA ARX-06 GTP // DASH PAGES PIT LIMITER When the pit limiter is active the shift lights (and the status clusters on either side of the shift lights) will change to pink and a “SPEED” indicator will appear at the top right of the steering wheel display. When the pit limiter is enabled and speed is above the pit road speed limit the center lights will be off.

ACURA ARX-06 GTP // ADVANCED SETUP OPTIONS Advanced Setup Options This section is aimed toward more advanced users who want to dive deeper into the different aspects of the vehicle’s setup. Making adjustments to the following parameters is not required and can lead to significant changes in the way a vehicle handles. -

Page 14: Aero Settings
ACURA ARX-06 GTP // AERO SETTINGS AERO SETTINGS RE AR W I NG ANGLE The Rear Wing Angle setting changes the angle of attack of the rear wing. Increasing the angle will increase the amount of downforce produced and move the aero balance rearward but will increase the amount of drag the wing produces. Reducing the angle will reduce overall downforce and shift aero balance forward, but will reduce drag and allow for a higher top speed. - Page 15 ACURA ARX-06 GTP // AERO SETTINGS The “L/D” value is the ratio of Lift (downforce) to Drag. This quantifies how efficiently the car’s bodywork is producing downforce in terms of how much drag is being produced as a result. A higher L/D value means more downforce is being produced for each unit of drag, meaning the bodywork is being more efficient.

ACURA ARX-06 GTP // CHASSIS Chassis FRONT HE AV E SPRI NG The Heave Spring is a suspension element that handles loads when the chassis moves in a purely vertical direction and does not experience loads generated from chassis roll. The front Heave Spring will influence the chassis’ handling balance during braking and over bumps, but is primarily intended to control increasing aerodynamic loads with higher speeds. -

ACURA ARX-06 GTP // CHASSIS ARB BL ADES The ARB Blades (or arms) can be changed to further tune the suspension roll stiffness beyond only the ARB size setting. This option changes the orientation of the ARB blades and are given numerical values for simplicity, with #1 being the softest option and the blades becoming stiffer as the value is increased to the maximum setting of #5. - Page 18 HE AV E SPRI NG DEFL The Heave Spring Deflection is how much the Heave Spring has compressed from its free (unloaded) length. This is not directly adjustable, but is altered as a result of other rear suspension adjustments, especially the Heave Perch Offset setting.

ACURA ARX-06 GTP // CHASSIS FRONT CORNERS C ORNER W EI GH T The weight under each tire while the car is stationary in the garage. Weight placement around the car is crucial to a car’s performance and is ultimately what determines how the car handles. These are not directly adjustable, but will change frequently through the setup process due to changing loads on the suspension. -

ACURA ARX-06 GTP // CHASSIS C AMBER Camber is the vertical angle of the wheel relative to the center of the chassis. Negative camber is when the top of the wheel is closer to the chassis centerline than the bottom of the wheel, positive camber is when the top of the tire is farther out than the bottom. -

Higher compression values will cause the suspension to be stiffer in these situations, while lower values will allow the suspension to absorb these bumps better but may hurt the aerodynamic platform around the track.

Page 24: 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. -

Page 26: Gear Ratios
GEAR RATIOS GE AR S TACK Gear Stack changes the gear ratios in the transmission. Two choices are available: Short and Long. The Short setting will choose a more acceleration-focused gear set for tracks with shorter straights or slower corners, while the Long option will choose gears more suited to high-speed tracks with long straights.
