Important, please read:
With limited space we are asking everyone to work together to allow others to take part. Here are a few things you can do to help us:

If you were in the last academy, please do not sign up for this one unless spots are available the day of the academy.
Make sure you have the DLC for this event.
If you sign up, please show up. If you can't make it, we expect you to sign out no later than 1 hour before the academy starts to make room for others. Failure to do so will make you ineligible for the next Academy.
Read the Club Rules and make sure you have your real name showing up in game and on teamspeak.
Password for the Academy server will be given out on teamspeak. Please be sure to be on time so we can go forward in a timely manner.
If you are using VR, please have your settings and buttons mapped prior to the Academy. This will save everyone time so we can get down to business......Racing.
Make sure to have these apps on your screen if possible:

Tyre App
Helicorsa 0.7b Download
Real Time
Track Map
Corner Names
Use F11 and have your Virtual Mirror on. If using VR please disregard.

Have fun

Our Format will be as follows:

Introduction

Question and answer session regarding Teamspeak and Asseto Corsa Game Settings. Please no wheel settings questions as that would eat up a lot of time and there are plenty of tutorials on the internet for this.
Do a few laps following Jeremy. Please no passing. That will happen later
Driving lines brief synopsis and ride along.
Class goes out to drive in 5-10 second intervals using default setup. Q&A afterwards.
Setup basics. Go over the order in which we start dialing it in ie Tires first and why
Start building a setup
Class goes back out to try the new settings to see how it feels. Q&A afterwards.
Repeat setup and tweaking.
Class goes out for 10 minute race.
Final Q & A. Class dismissed.

End of Session

You got it man. If you're a little late it's ok since I know you'v got you're ts set up. Just make sure to read the 2nd and 3rd post in this thread and have the appropriate apps up in game if you don't take to much of a frame rate hit and make sure you understand the keyboard shortcuts. You're doing great and I love the fact that you keep plugging away. That's how you get better

Speaking of apps - I have Car Radar instead of Helicorsa and find it much, much better. It shows the angle of the other cars relative to you and shows the outlie shape of the car so you can see exactly where they are a lot easier.
