"Before you even think about hitting the track, you'll need to devise your pit strategy" Me, after getting halfway through a race and pausing the game to watch this video because I realised I had no idea how to pit: 👁👄👁
Just brilliant!!! Picked up on three points I'd completely missed; the multi preset pitstop stratagies and starting the motor 2-3 seconds before the end of your pit stop countdown, also the information regarding swapping real drivers and having to countdown the pit exit for the new driver. Brilliant!!
This game has so many followers on PS, PC. I've joined a league called FRL, you can find them on Discord. Lots of clean racers and loadsa races every week. See you theRe.
Thanks for taking the time to make this. I'm such a noob to mp (pitting, I usually did 3 - 5 laps against AI), I didn't realise I was entering lane too fast and kept getting penalized. I thought the game was f'''ed, as opposed to me, lmao!
Lost my first win in my league race came in with 15 sec on second and because I overshoot the pit by a fraction came out 5 seconds behind. I thought something weird went on but replay shows exactly my mistake. This video is crucial for those overlooking pit strategy
As soon as the front of your car crosses the line, I’m fairly certain you are good to go. At least that’s what I do every time and I’ve never been penalised for it 😊
Is there a way to avoid having to set up a pit strategy ourselves? I have no clue how much fuel I need etc. Can't my pit crew just figure that out themselves?
Is there any chance that flooring it out of the box will cause you to speed for a fraction of a second or is the pit limiter good enough to prevent that?
Please idk if you can see this but I’m still confused my pit timer is at 30s and I’m still going into the pits 3rd or 4th leaving out 13th idk what I’m doing wrong this is literally not making me want to play nomore and I’m trying to use this as practice so wen I get my racing license next yr but these pits I don’t seem to understand
Could someone help please? I keep getting disqualified in races with a driver change. I am almost blind so Can't see the mfd so ask my brother to read it to me. It seems to let me make one driver change, but not a second.
When car is dropped, engine is turned off. And I need to restart it (manual start setting). but on every pit stop video I see guys switch on ignition before even timer runs out and when car is dropped they go immediately. what is the trick? please help
Thanks for all this. Really clears up things. Question. How do you know when to pit depending on your current position in the race? Do you pit with the leaders if running top 5 or 10 or next lap? I'm seriously new to Sim Racing so any help is most appreciated. Superb channel👍
Really appreciate the comment! Honestly, it will be different in every scenario. It’s all about your track position relative to the cars around you and your pace, less so about what position you are in specifically. Are you stuck in traffic and losing time, or do you have clean air and a bit of fuel left? If it’s the former, id pit early to try and get the jump with your fresh tyres. If it’s the later, stay out and make the most of your clean air, and then pit later and have the stronger tyres to fight with at the end 😊 I think I talked about this in the video “5 ways to win in ACC”, take a look at our ACC guide playlist! I wish you the best of luck with your racing, welcome to the community 😄
@@TraxionGG Really appreciate you reaching out with a very detailed answer. I'll take this and run with it for sure. Watched all your 'settings' guide vids ( more than once), and they are most useful. Great channel and Thanks Again.👍
Ottimo video e spiegazioni molto dettagliate pero' io ho un problemone con le gare di endurance della carriera perche' pur rispettando limite ai box in entrata e in uscita, niente tagli, effettuando le 2 soste obbligatorie con cambio pilota e cambio gomme ( consumo gomme e carburante disattivati) non mi segnala nessuna penalita' dopo ogni uscita dai box e mi fa terminare la gara e pur vincendola mi mette ultimo con il segnalatore DSQ che equivale a "squalificato". Ho gia' ripetuto piu' volte svariate gare ma niente, sempre DSQ. Invece nelle gare SPRINT di 20 minuti non mi e' mai successo. Spero tu possa aiutarmi a capire qual'e' il problema, grazie.
How do you make the pit crew give you tyres with the same pressure as you start with?? The default is 27.9 and 27.8, which isn't right, and I just want to keep the tyres the same after the change and I can't recall from memory my setup pressure and can't change it in preparation while driving because it's too much to focus on multitasking
You need to go into the pitstop preset menu within the setup screen, go through the presets and click on the button “match current pressures”. That will match them to whatever tyre pressures you are currently on when you pit 😊
@@TraxionGG I see it is only available on PC. Do you know where Kunoz shows the future update plans for consoles? 😊 I hope they add that feature for Xbox and PlayStation racers 😃
Strategy is such a difficult thing to nail every time. It's too situation dependent to say "Do this" or "Do that". You've got to factor in the air and track temp, the style of track (does it wear the tyres hard in general anyway), and sometimes it's best to undercut and sometimes it's best to overcut. The only real piece of advice I can give you is to listen to what the car is telling you and then make a call based on that. If your car feels like it's struggling for grip, it's probably time to box. - Rwaggy
if i get into a pitstop and want to ride away i cant go to 50 in a second like it is hanging on 1 and then slowly to 40 and then i can drive how can i fix this
That might be something to do with the automatic clutch. As long as you are in first gear it should be okay, but some launches might be a bit quicker using manual clutch. I’m not sure if that’s exactly what you meant by the question, so let me know if there is something else!
Usually this is because of you not meeting the requirements for the pit stop, whether this be a refuelling requirement or a mandatory tyre change. Make sure that the tyres you are switching to are brand new and not a used set. You can do this by looking at the symbol next to the tyre set option in the pit MFD, if the circle is pure white then it's a brand new set of tyres.
Is it fuel load? The default setup has 60L of fuel and you will likely need more to finish races that are longer than half an hour 😊 That caught me out the first time I played career mode! Ran out with 2 laps to go….
the pits can give me road rage :) ive played a few older sims before but i found ACC very touchy & perceptively slow thro corners which takes a while to get used to.. you can then win some races fairly easily... then these pitstops usually ruin it all for me.. even when i think ive entered ok, the initial rush off track to the point you need to prepare to slow to the Pit limiit, engage 1st gear, keep eyes out for sign & final white line (if there is more than one:P).. all that seems difficult enough, then comes the parking up,,, i try to go off the 2nd from top arrow on marker board but even that seems to take an age... my last try, i thought i'd entered fast & legal, parked well, left well.. but was back of grid from 2nd.. ?? i really have no idea with them.. i thought it was better than many previous attempts.. but no :/
K... tried to work out a decent race in championship mode in ACC. Qualified 2nd and started race. Lost a position due to pushing too hard into a corner. Pit window opens up. I dive in for a pitstop. The pitstop hud comes up. This is where it goes all wrong. I can't toggle or enter any changes, and can't get rid of the Hud. It never goes away. I've assigned buttons for it. But nothing works. Trying to get it to go away I crash or overshoot the corners resulting in crash or damage which I'll have to pit for! NO!!! This games pit system sucks! I tried all weekend to no avail I'm no more adept at it than when I started! What trash. I'm a real driver on the weekend in several events, and this pit system makes absolutely no sense in an otherwise great looking game! Help!
I've been racing raceroom a lot lately and wanted to get back to ACC. ACC has a lot more si.ulated and WOW! factory than raceroom. But.... the pit stops are ruining it. Should be a simple pre set pit stop options. The problems with these tutorials is that they don't go step by step on how to create a pit stop pre set. I'd like to get to racing so setting up pit stops would be awesome. However, trouble in binding the correct command buttons! This is a whole lot more frustrating than it has to be.
You know i done a 1hour endurance race without doing a pit stop got first place and got disqualified because I didn’t do a pit stop do you know how annoying that can be 😭😭😭😭😭
Anybody else has this problem in championship, that you enter your mandatory pit stop and the other cars dont? they just enter the pitline, dont stop, and go out right away.

Changing pit stop details mid mountain on Bathurst, brave lol
Brave, or stupid? 😂
Now I have finally solved the mystery of why I sometimes lose out so much during the pitstop! Thank you !
You are very welcome!

Thanks Traxion. You need more subs

Does pit limiter have to be on until all the car crosses the exit?
As soon as the front of your car crosses the line, I’m fairly certain you are good to go. At least that’s what I do every time and I’ve never been penalised for it 😊
Very well instructed! thank you!
You’re welcome 😊
is there a way to know, before the race starts, if it will have a pit window, and if the pit have a minimum time required?
Got to this video because I always go in the pits and loose positions, now I know why!
We've all been there, glad we could help!
Well if they fix the other cars being able to pass through you in the pits🤗 not know if this happens on pc it does on consoles
It does happen on PC…. Looks a bit silly but I’m grateful for it on certain occasions 😅
Is there a way to avoid having to set up a pit strategy ourselves? I have no clue how much fuel I need etc. Can't my pit crew just figure that out themselves?
Yeah same, also it's very difficult being unable to pause the game and then setup things. Doing this while driving is just not doable for me.
Is there any chance that flooring it out of the box will cause you to speed for a fraction of a second or is the pit limiter good enough to prevent that?
Should be absolutely fine with the limiter on, I've never experienced an issue with that 🙂

My biggest issue is making all of these changes in the menus while still trying to drive XD
I more than likely just need more practice.
I've just had my first ever on this game I won the race but I lost because I forgot to pit 😅😅
I’ll be winning a race, have to mandatory pit, then end up in last place. Is there a preferred time to pit to avoid losing the entire race?

This is so frustrating... Five second ahead in pole yet the pit stop always push me back: always
I’m still confused how I can be 1st and +8 yet the driver who pit behind me comes out ahead and I drop to like 10th
How can you actually practice this?
What if i done all and pit is valid but on timetable write i need pitstop?
