Coach Dave Academy?

[geri12622]

Had somebody tested the Setups from Coach Dave? I bought the setup for Monza to the Porsche 911 II GT3, but it is very hard to drive and the car feels totaly different. Have here some of the users experience with that?

I see the point pros trying to coach rookies or higher levels but; selling setups? That is totally a money trap and i can't think of them as bona fide, they probably think of your wallet not to really help!

It helps. the setup for the 718 helped me to gain 2-3 seconds.

No one is forcing you to buy them - it’s entirely voluntary!

thanks for not pointing a gun on me and force me to buy a setup.
The point i wanted to make is this community is sharing these setups for freely for decades and somebody is coming up with selling them even they are a taste of drive which changes driver to driver. You can always find a free setup to build your style upon it.

You will never know if a free setup would gain a 3-4 secs for you maybe. I just see this opportunism. If they would come up with a mod it was sellable but; setups? I dont think and i wont be ok with this idea.

^^ never heard about iRacing, right? And I remember people were selling setups for LFS too.

I bought the Benz setups, and the set up are good and feel different. But they were not as good as the set ups i made for my driving style. I also noted their setups increase tire wear immensely. My setups stay fast from the beginning to end of a race with little tire wear.

strange, has to be your driving style then, you can go for double stints with their tyres if youre and endurance driver, thats one thing they really nail with their packs, the tyre life is amazing and super consisstent

FYI there's a new safe setup available to download :)

On my better tracks, my merc setups were faster than theirs, but on tracks, I'm not as good on they get me up and running quickly, good setups overall.

Rubbish. This statement has been debunked more times than I can count and it tends to be said by the rookies that haven't even learnt how to trail brake yet

The CDA setups have had a team of people working on them individually for about 40 hours each setup. So that's 40 hours saved not having to sit there lap after lap and do it yourself. If it gives you the 'window' to get your car tuned, then all you need to do is tweak it to your liking to really get it going.

The cars are in the window already with the base setups. This guy is crazy quick but look what times he does with default setups.

You will always find more time in the driver than a setup. A setup is more to your driving style more than X setup is 2 seconds quicker than Y setup.

No one is forcing you to buy them - it’s entirely voluntary!

10 years ago when i joined Iracing, the forums were more widely used (despite a lower membership) And, you could easily get half a dozen different setups posted every week for the more popular series.
Now, it's much more difficult and where people do ask they rarely get an answer.

I find it quite sad that the sim racing community is moving in that direction from where it was. What's even more sad is that it's now becoming accepted as the norm. similar to loot boxes, and the answer to those is also 'you don't have to buy them'
Although, in this case. If you want to be competitive online and don't know how to make a setup. Chances are your going to. Especially as we've already seen so many people suggest it makes them quicker.

This guy is one of the quickest I have seen and posts free setups and motec data if he uses a setup. People charging for setups seems shady to me but if people will pay can see why they do it.
