Herewith, a 10-lap race setup for the most excellent Honda NSX GT3 Evo (2019), developed by the GT Planet Modding Team from the specs of Assetto Corsa Competitzione's Honda NSX GT3...with subtle (but much appreciated) updates. This baby can't quite keep up with AC's own record-wrecking 2017 Porsche 911 RSR (much less with the independently-developed 2018 variant of the RSR), but this GT3 is a stone delight to drive. As with most Elkhart setups, it should work equally well @ Spa if you adjust the fuel load.
Why I test at Elkhart Lake. 1. It doesn't have any stupidly slow hairpins or chicanes, which interfere with repeatability; at least the way I drive. Spa would be ideal if it weren't for that ugly, contorted chicane at the end of the lap. 2. The Carousel. Unlike the Nordschleife's Karusel (tight and lumpy), RA's Carousel is the closest thing you'll find to a high-speed, steady-state skid pad (or 'pan' as they call it in Blighty). It will give you an indication of absolute grip, with numbers you can compare, car-to-car and setup-to-setup (anything below 100 mph = pokey; anything over = speedy). 3. The Kink. The scariest turn in North America. Little cars will barely notice it, but big cars will make or break a lap-time depending on whether or not your setup will allow you to take it flat out.
