foreign ER, and in this video, we're gonna be doing a proper challenge: esport professional setup versus default setup in Australia. We will find out once overall what is the difference between having a normal in-game setup versus what you can get from the top esport drivers, and how much faster, or if even faster, is gonna make you. While you're watching this video, don't forget to leave a like and subscribe for more content. Guys, I'm also doing a lot of live streams, so make sure to tune in. I'll be using one of the Apex online racing hot lap servers, so we have the online experience. So, for the first try, I'm gonna take a Honda GT3 Evo on Watkins Glen, and I'm gonna do, I don't know, about five. Well, I'm gonna give myself at least five to ten minutes to do a lap time with the best possible setup I have, a setup from my team, from my Acid Esport team, and I'm gonna do fuel ups and see what lap time I can do. And then, we're gonna swap to aggressive.

default setup in this game and remove the fuel. Obviously, I think you're gonna try and see what is the difference. What do you guys think, by the way? I personally think there's gonna be a six times difference. What do you guys think? All right, let's do this. I'm not gonna be talking too much while driving. I'm gonna focus, bro. This crop also, guys, I'm not the fastest guy, obviously, in this game. So, I'm like three tenths from the top, top, top drivers, two times from the top, top drivers in this game. So, we're gonna see what we can do. Let's do keep Chris flying lab. It's gonna be slow. I need to get off the basement foreign here last time. Let's have a solver series. [Applause] trades even. It's not just like really fast. It's like good balance. Always Theory because it's aggressive for the like oh fast as possible left arm. [Applause] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]

aggressive, amazingly aggressive, nice, let's go foreign. [Music] [Applause] Obviously, there's plenty of time left. I would say from like a proper driver, but I think 426 is quite decent love in these conditions. It's a 23 27. So this was on the Esports setup, guys. This was like on a really good setup. It's always Theory. You just need to get into the balance. Obviously, there's still like two tenths in a lot from like my perspective, my driving. Let's see what happens if you take a normal aggressive default setup. I will just copy the tire pressures and to make this fair. I will first do like a few laps with completely full settings. That means I will remove the fuel, set the correct pressures, but I will use the TC, ABS, and brake bar settings, which is actually on the aggressive default, which is quite unfair, obviously, but that's how it is in the setup. And then I will do a few laps with the same settings I have now. So mine helped me a

little bit so we can see like a one-to-one only difference in actual settings like, uh, like suspension and camber and so on. So, let's see it. Let's see it just to confirm the default setup aggressive preset. As you can see on the top, I just changed the pressures to map mine. I'm gonna put 13 liters fresh tires. I'm gonna even keep the brake pads, okay? And we're gonna keep the TC settings for now. Let's see what we can do. Let's see what we can do. Obviously, guys, to make this more interesting and more logical, we're gonna do Watkins club with Honda, and then we're gonna take a different car on a different track to make it even better. All right, let's see. You can also do it the other way around. So now I use the Esports setup, then aggressive for the next track. I will do it the other way around. Let's see. [Music] [Applause] Oh, that is so much understeer on trouble. Like, when I press the throttle, the car

goes straight, little straight. At least the car is stable to refer, but this is aggressive people. It feels like ultra-safe understeer default. Oh boy, and this stable strike by the amount of the time I have to be off throttle is a lot. It's like absolutely no turn on the exits. Let's do our first fight club. Foreign, don't worry about all invalidated love. Let's just continue. Okay, let's see how is it in the chicane. Send it. Oh, oh, the amnesty. Oh my God, down the stairs. This feels like driving on that previous setup, but after like 100 laps on the same tires. Foreign. Oh my God, I'm almost two seconds. What? Oh my God, we're gonna switch the TC settings. Maybe it's gonna help us. And like for the next slot to do the same. It's only three minutes set up on a proper setup. The first sector is okay, but it's literally one corner. All right, I have to lift. All the cars is also uses the tires crazily. My pressure's obviously not perfect. I use the same

precious as on the Esports setup, but as you can see, they are not matching at all. Okay, next up, we're gonna change the TC settings and Brake bios. 1.3 seconds of the face guy. Oh my God, the physical help us, the PC settings. I don't think so. About 1.6 seconds of the face. Open this out. Okay, and you have four do the same DC settings. Okay, moment of two guys. We need 446, which is exactly its stickers of the face. 150. Let's see what the DC difference will do. Obviously, my time brushes are far from good. Oh wow, ow man. My first video was so like even on the setup. That forestry is crazy weird. Okay, I will fix the pressures and we will do the DC test. Okay, let's remove the TC and use it exactly as on the other setup. All right, let's see what we can do with the better pressures and proper settings. Play the cast or something is like really weirdly set on the setup. So the horses like super strong.

[Applause] okay, so the default setup with the settings is like for thread infection control and so on. As long as for setup actually is much faster than completely full. Yeah, don't worry about it. Let me help each other a little bit. [Applause] Come on, only one point eight seconds. 1.8 seconds. All right, it's a lot. [Applause] Foreign, but it's more sharp, aggressive, like throttle. Just gonna help a bit, but still, you know, it's so crazy. Okay, but if the DC changes, the setup is much better, like massive, massive understeer. But I would say a rocky driver. It's not too bad, but just the DC settings made so much more difference to make the car much more safer to drive. Really, really bad. [Applause] Understeer. All right, final results for Watkins Glen. Pick it out 44 for definitely could do like better, right? But you get the coin, guys. Oh my God. Okay, let's see the timetable. Let's see the timetable, guys. So with the

Esports setup. I did literally one wallet love. Like, I didn't want two tries. Like, 43.0, then 42.6. Then we took completely default aggressive setup with just better pressures and low fuel, and we did 44.7, 44.6. And then the only thing I did was change the TC settings and ABS and brake bot settings to match the proper setup, and we did 44.4. Like, I would say 44.2 possible, so around 1.7 seconds of the pace. And we are literally losing a second in the middle sector and eight tenths in the last sector, as you can actually see here in my previous lap. The last corner was much better, or last sector, so two tenths improvement in the last sector. So technically three tenths, we should be improving. So 44.1, which is still 1.4, 1.5 seconds of the pace. Driving like appropriate esports setup versus completely default setup in the game. Wow, with the Honda only on Watkins Glen. Okay, that is like, there's a big difference.

right, that is a big difference. Do you guys think this is okay? Do you think this is good? Let's try another combination. Let's try another combo. So aggressive default, I think was 260, 260, 26, 3, 26 free. I think this was the settings I have on my normal setup. I was just copying that. We're gonna remove the fuel, take 13 liters, and electronics. We're gonna keep it as it is for now again and just drive out. Just want to see the settings. Okay, DC free and free. Same one as on the Honda. ABS 4, 57. Brake bias, oh boy, like this car, the best DC said it's like seven or nine and not using TC2 at all. And brake bias 52-53. Oh, this is another beautiful understeer party. Cheese surprise, it's like driving a banana with wheels. It's a Ferrari, but it's like you have so much understeer in the setup, but then only very exit you have massive oversteer. Kind of setup is like something you

don't even want to drive so bad. Can I see the first stop was quite okay, I would say. I drove Ferrari here recently, so I'm like, I think I'm gonna be up the face quickly. [Music] 41A, it's a very bad luck. [Music] Oh my God, the breakfast is so much in the front that you still lock up the front wheel. Guys, change the piece of settings and break by us only difference if it helps, might help a lot. [Music] 41-5, that is low, guys, that is low. Okay, let's do the same setup, but we're gonna change the TC electronic settings. So we are using, let's just, let's use seven five ABS, wait, isuma pre F, okay, one and zero, and we're gonna put the brake by us to like 52. Same fuel, just fresh tires. Let's see, let's see if this helps a little bit. So we are using basically from the Esports setup, at least the TC and ABS and such settings. Why is that engine bar free on that side?

[Applause] Chris Lane love with the aggressive default setup with just different DC and Brake violence and mop [Music] and my bad that was the time lost that's better we're breaking though for entry I enter in the corner so much better but there's still that massive understeer but I feel a break if I was helping massively to actually turn and like break [Applause] [Music] fast comes massive difference on a break virus because the car actually turned 41-3 we still have like two three dents maybe in the face [Music] [Applause] [Music] half well [Music] the hand of it now like this feels so much better though with the different DC settings that D4 DC settings so bad it's not even safe you know this one is safer [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] some mistake left and right but finish so much better so whatever happens we can do 41 Plus maybe even 40.

[Music] the brake Mouse makes so much difference. No, I'm gonna make it so, so close, so, so close to us, so super first at second sector. Well, we didn't lose too much, but let's say 10th in the last score. We could have done 40.9, right? That was 40.9, 100, like 40.9 was 100 possible in these conditions. Okay, okay, now that guys, let's see what we can do with the actual Esports setup for this track for Ferrari. Let's see, turn it in, turn in a relief. What a relief, guys, to turn it in laughs. Oh yes, oh yes, that is a big relief. Oh my God, setup, he's putting a smile on my face, guys. That's how good it is. Okay, we're just playing love with the proper setup. [Applause] [Music] oh yes [Music] [Music] foreign ERS is the difference, the understeer, guys, that's the massive understood [Music] oh my God, it depends here the first

sections are very simple to drive a very weird way. [Music] That's easy. I think we can go much faster, much faster. I have to adjust though for a setup. [Music] All right, five stands already. First flying up half a second, give Gap, and a lot was really about. We should do like, uh, even much for a lot of time. I have a problem. I just stick to the setup though. I'm like expecting on this year and bad prey. It's like a positive surprise, you know? The car actually turns. Ah, it's still off, off the base, far from the base, but let's, let's compare. Let's check the difference, guys. Actually, my first fastest sector one is on a bad setup, so I will, I will give it more laps because I'm like, I'm not driving 100 good right now. One more lap, come on, come on, here it is. Let's do this. [Music] [Music] Finally, that's it. That's it, the proper turn. [Music] [Applause] [Music]

this one fantastic guys, fantastic setup. [Music] [Music] window definitely lost some time. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign exit ah dude come on okay never mind never mind I think he actually lost time then game time there but okay let's say we did 40 flat okay let's say let's say we did 40 flat let's compare let's compare those setups guys 3.8 39.4 let's save it is flat 40 and 9 10 is different on Kalama guys between aggressive default like aggressive completely default setup was 1.5 second difference because of the DC and ABS and brake bars was so so bad but then we changed to the esport uh TC and break fires and engine map like a normal one basically everybody uses in the game and we did 41 flat that was possible definitely 40.9 maybe even 4.8 with like a really really good luck eight times difference guys ninthians difference ocalami.

between in Ferrari, between Esports setup and a normal default setup in the game. You can see the middle sector is an absolutely crazy difference. The middle sector is actually six seconds, guys. Crazy, absolutely crazy. Well, nevertheless, guys, what do you think about the video like this? What do you think is the biggest difference between the Esports setups and normal default setups, guys? You know, so thank you so much, guys, for watching. Let me know what you think about like esport or like a proper setup versus a default setup in a game. Like, what do you guys think? It's a big difference, right? How do you make yourselves? Where do you get your setups, guys? I think there's a lot of YouTube videos where you can get free setups or like communities where you can get free setups. So yeah, thank you so much, guys, for watching.
