Assetto Corsa Competizione (ACC) is widely regarded as one of the most realistic and engaging GT racing simulators available today. With its lifelike graphics, authentic car sounds, and deep simulation of tire, weather, and track conditions, ACC delivers a truly immersive racing experience on both PC and console.
Among the many factors that define this realism, the wheel base plays a critical role. It not only affects on-track performance but also determines how connected and satisfying the driving feels. The Fanatec ClubSport DD+, fully compatible with both PC and PlayStation thanks to its integrated Sony-licensed software, stands out as one of the best options for console racers. To fully unleash its impressive 15 Nm of torque and advanced force feedback technology, fine-tuning both the hardware and in-game settings is essential.
Before diving into the optimal configurations, here are some key tips to keep in mind:
- Avoid clipping: If the wheel feels dull or the force feedback loses sharpness, the gain is likely set too high.
- Keep base force at 100%: Always maintain full force output on the wheel base and adjust the “Gain” within ACC for finer control.
- Reduce friction, inertia, and spring: These parameters can blur the feedback and reduce detail. Keeping them low preserves clarity.
- Pro tip: Every car and track may require minor tweaks to achieve perfect balance.
