Ah yes, racing in Assetto Corsa Competizione. The thrill of taking your GT3 car to the limit of adhesion, battling wheel-to-wheel at obscene speeds, engaging in vehicular combat with your opponents around the most glamourous circuits across the globe. What’s the secret to achieving this motorsport equivalent of nirvana? Years of training? Millions of pounds? The Senna-like belief in your own God-given talent?

Tyre pressures.

No, wait, hear me out…

As the sole component connecting your car to the race track, getting the best out of your tyres is key to having any chance of competing for wins at the top level. This applies as much to real-life as it does to esports and sims such as Assetto Corsa Competizione (ACC.)

Keeping the tyre pressure at optimum levels aids, grip, tyre life and prevents punctures. Sims such as iRacing, rFactor 2 & ACC have their own take on tyre modelling, and all have their quirks and flaws. But, by and large, ACC has attracted a lot of praise for the way the tyre model replicates rubber warm-up, slow punctures, graining and flat spots.

Setting the correct tyre pressure in Assetto Corsa Competizione really does affect lap time too, losing tenths of a second per lap is possible if you veer away from the optimum pressure by one pound per square inch (PSI) – the standard unit of pressure measurement.

Obviously, not everyone needs to go to such lengths to optimise tyre pressures in Assetto Corsa Competizione, but at the top level where everyone is looking to find that extra little bit of lap time, it becomes vital as it provides you with a platform to develop your car setup and move up the grid.

After all, there’s no point in having Senna-like talent if you’re racing on four over-inflated rubber balloons!
