Engine Maps

[Redfox]

Hey everyone,
I run MAP 1 when I am doing quali, but I also then use MAP 1 when I am in the race. I am wondering if everyone does this or is it faster to use a different MAP in the race?
Many thanks

Depends on the car, that you're driving. For most cars map 1 is the fastest and usually it's fine, to use it for the race aswell.

only map 1. occasionally during races and depending on situations and gaps, map 2 to save fuel. for wet, what the wet setup suggests.
i never drove the ferrari evo though. if you drive the evo, fox, it maybe worth to search further for map settings.

Thanks for the info. I am currently running the BMW.

Then you can run Map 1 all the time. Maybe, if you do endurance racing, it might be worth a shot to check out how much difference there is between Map 1 and Map 2/3 in regards to fuel usage.
Driving the Porsche a lot myself, i tend to run Map 4 for wet races and work Map 5 to 8 depending on the stage of race. But that's down to how the car feels for me.

Would you still run MAP 1 when its raining or do you change it?

[MadMan]

That would depend on how wet the track is. If it's only damp, i'd still use Map 1, if it's a wet track, Map 6 and if the track is soaked, Map 7 or 8.
Then again; it's best you try it out yourself. Maybe you feel safe enough with Map 1 on a full wet track.

I go map 1 on wet, rain, dry, green, fast, optimum.
I change engine map midrace (or by the end of a race) if I notice I calculated wrong the fuel use and see I will not make it to the end of the race.
For wet condition I just drive a different line, brake a bit earlier, try to avoid certain kerbs or use higher gear through certain turns, later full throttle, but map I use the same.

just drove some rounds (or should i say hillclimbs, LOL) @bathhurst with the porsche GT3 and map in aggressive setup was 6. so not sure about the "always 1" i said before, fox.
i would suggest what i do (im not an alien though). try the default aggressive and just tweak it to your style. i usualy tweaking the brake bias, TC, ABS and the rear wing.
but i am driving the AMR V8 GT3 & GT4 and the 911 cup almost all the time in all sessions and every circuit.
you need to search a little more for engine map per car per track if you dont trust the kunos default setups. i do :)

Porsche I think are engine map 8 for the most aggressive.

Porsche 991 GT3-R & Porsche 991ii GT3-R (EVO)
1-9 maps.
1 normal power&consumption least progressive throttle map
2 normal power&consumption progressive throttle map
3 normal power&consumption aggressive throttle map
4 normal power&consumption linear throttle map
5 Qual power, high consumption, least progressive throttle map
6 Qual power, high consumption, progressive throttle map
7 Qual power, high consumption, aggressive throttle map
8 Qual power, high consumption, linear throttle map
9 Low power, low consumption, progressive throttle map

could be this neo, could be 6 on safe and 8 in aggressive. definitely not 1 though. for mount panorama. i think that in the 488 evo also the default setup for the mountain is map 2. can you confirm?

Default safe is 5, default aggressive is 3.
I always change to 1 (well . . I forget sometimes but I also have setups with tyres psi changed for different weather and temperature, time of the day, but sometimes I still select default safe and go and exactly because of that sometimes I forget to change engine map to 1 because I am used to loading the setups I have saved for different tyres psi).

Even considering the temps and track conditions are not always perfect per what I have for the tyres psi changes at my saved setups, most of the times it is select and go without changes or with very little changes.
Also as some of these setups I have saved are old and I already changed my driving skills and style, sometimes I have to change a lot the tyres psi too because different driving style and techniques used mean different tyres pressure too.
