i was at bathurst when they broke the record. i was in a good spot coming into mcphilimy park. the SPEED the car carried through the left hander before the Esse's was unreal.
Had the pleasure of watching this thing from the house on the cutting. And my god was it loud. Hearing it from mountain straight to the downshifting 20m in front of me was just insane. It was incredible.
Could you get bump drafted by a pair of GT2s, one up each straight, instead of following another GT3? The higher power and top speed on those cars might be enough to give you another tenth or two on the final time
After we finished recording we did actually think of this, didn't have the time to try it. Maybe we can go all out next time to try & get into the 56's
nice driving james. hours and headaches was worth it. I don't care you're one second off the un-homologated GT3 car. you are still fast. meanwhile I'm crying in front of my computer as I can only manage a 2:05 with a aston or the huracán.
insane lap, could you maybe do a video explaining what you did to the car tuning wise? and perhaps what was done to the track temps wise aswell so we can all give it a shot??
very good video. reminded me of when Steve from super gt grinds a lap time for a couple of days, but with some creativity mixed in. I think you hit 293kph for a frame or two on your final lap.
you beat him by far. this one in real was wothout bop, making 308kph on the straight. record with BoP was 1 year earleir from maro Engel in the AMG with an 2:00.8Min
shouldve also disable fuel usage, tire and brake wear etc and go with min fuel and 4th option on breaks, they have best performance, but wear insanely fast, but with brake wear disabled, should be the best
They don't. 1 has the best performance, 4 is just a very fast-wearing pad with the same starting friction as pad 1, used for demonstrating what happens when brakes are worn, but in a much shorter timeframe.
Hello James, very cool vidéo. It was very funny to see your friend loosing the car and going straight in the wall to let you braking 🤣 I was surprised to notice that you were never kicking in the ABS on the heavy braking as long as you keep your wheel straight. I don't know why turning the wheel triggers the ABS, it's the same on others sims ( i have a Simagic Haptor and know exactly when the ABS triggers ) and i wonder if it's real. But this calls into question my way of braking in ACC ( i really thought you have to trigger and stay in the ABS ).
trigering ABS is not ideal thats why you try to run it as low as possible its just there to make sure you dont lock up which is worse obviously. and to answer your question about turning triggers ABS its true as when you turn you start using more of the grip of the tires and you start adding extra forces to them which causes ABS to trigger in.
@@Jaaames yeah mate right around the 40kg mark and I’m a 25 year old male. I’ve went to see the doctors about it and after $180 Australian they reckon I’m fine 😅🙄🙃. (Perfect race driver weight though aye haha, they’ll have to add weight to meet the minimum 😂)
I saw the merc record video out of context. I presumed it was quali as didn’t ready an bumph and was “what they have drs in the Aussie race” Well known my dumb ass knows. Anyway….. acc even em that does 2.01s. It’s flat from hairpin to the blend on skyline. Jules gounun record he’s not lofts quite a lot going up the mountain. The drs and extra 100bhp are defiently why he made that time. All about the straight lines. Now I wanna see how low I can get a v12 Aston…….
Could you not just use the GT2 Merc seeing as it has more power and you could offset the changes by adding ballast? I know it's not the GT3 car but technically you could close the gap on the regulations a bit right?
Hello James, I have a question, I think I can really drive well but I drive on PS5 and my times are over than 2 seconds behind the world record. In other simulations I am not quite as far behind just under 1 second. I compared my and a lap with same setup and he accellerates after me and has more top speed. Can you test in a video if you can do a lap on PC and PS5 with same setup in the same time?
I‘ve heard from different people there is a time gap between PS5 and PC but no TH-camr tested it, maybe you can get on a rig with a PlayStation anywhere and try it.
If you wanna use the 'AMG 130' livery I used in this video, here it is: bit.ly/3PoSoGS

Wow, that must be have been crazy to watch live
9:02 Outperforming yourself after a short break. A tale as old as time lol. Lesson for us hotlaping for hours on end without breaks.
just one more
@@kleanish "This is the lap" 😂I know the feeling haha
100%, amazing what your brain can do if you give it a chance to breath lol
Hearing Bathurst pronounced "Bath - Thirst" as an Aussie made me feel violent lmao
😂
they should add the unrestricted 130 anniversary AMG into ACC, just in a class of its own lol
💯

12:55 was the best moment of the video :D keep it up!
Dunno why but it just got me🤣
First lap "not going too close to the walls" casually commits harder into the grate than I have ever done XD

Sorry for my english I am spaniard. 06:07 is it possible to change the weight of the car in the chat? How? I have not idea about this. 😮
We've been waiting for this one!
Might Merc collab with games to get this one-one spec out to players?
That would be cool, I haven't heard anything tho

All of this is in the video
The car setup along with every change I made to every variable is in the video, so everyone can give it a try🙂

Glad you enjoyed🤝

I didnt even know you can get under 58 here in ACC
In normal temps it's not possible😂
shouldve also disable fuel usage, tire and brake wear etc and go with min fuel and 4th option on breaks, they have best performance, but wear insanely fast, but with brake wear disabled, should be the best
They don't. 1 has the best performance, 4 is just a very fast-wearing pad with the same starting friction as pad 1, used for demonstrating what happens when brakes are worn, but in a much shorter timeframe.
Brake pad 1 is definitely better than brake pad 4. But you might be right with the other points, will give it a look
Tuen 3 if u go wider on exit pinned will improve your lap time massively it is such an important corner for the splits 👍

@@bryant.p1215thanks for your answer. I thought in ACC you have to smash the break pedal and stay in the ABS
I just got the DLCs yesterday and I thought my 2:07 was not bad haha
U know the time is longer coz 1st lap count pitstop time
Going left at the end... That was funny
Nice one man! What is the outro song? :)
great video James!
🤝
Removed 40kg ballast. Essentially you’ve just removed me from the car 😂. You’ve just gone “mate you’re gonna have to hope out aye”
You only weigh 40kg? Dayum man😅
@@Jaaames yeah mate right around the 40kg mark and I’m a 25 year old male.

Then a van beat the record, please leave the superlatives behind
Yeah, 1:57.5. Just a rocket. Please tell me, what kind of music is playing at the end of the video?
how you have customise helmet in acc? 17:23

James, One thing I've always wondered is, what part of the setup makes it possible for you to use TC 0 without slipping when accelerating.
its mostly in the driver seat. but there are tons of things that help with this to single something out
Could you not just use the GT2 Merc seeing as it has more power and you could offset the changes by adding ballast? I know it's not the GT3 car but technically you could close the gap on the regulations a bit right?
Bro, I'm definitely not good at this 💀
how did you get a custom Helmet in the Game? That looks fantastic!
Because he's in the game as a real driver! 😅
I got one of the guys I know at Kunos to do it a couple years back🙂
@@danardisimracing Indeed
Anyone know the song at 1:40?
I'm not sure, mr editor will know most likely
Everybody checking their discord at 10:28 lol
His driving wasn't optimal he says. Well damn. Imagine qualifying against this guy. You wouldn't stand a change☠️☠️
Haha, I mean compared to the top ACC guys, I rarely play the game at the moment so I'm not gonna be fully in tune with it. Cheers tho🙂

Interesting, I don't have a PS5 at the minute so I can't test that😟
If anyone can do it it’s The James Baldwin
❤
@@Jaaames ❤️❤️ love your streamssss
How can I customize my Helmet in ACC? There is any guide? Thanks
1:56:6 is not Alien, its Insanity...
I mean +100hp and DRS .. you gain a lot on straights.I think James did pretty good job
@@Skafiskafnjak51 Thanks mate
Well done, great driving
Cheers🤝
Why did jack not pick a car with more topspeed? Maybe the AMG GT2?
We did think of this but only after we finished recording😅
I hand it to ya Great job. I can't even come close you your guys times.
🤝
Where are the ACC pro regulars? 130 AMG challenge 😊
Exactly, wanna see someone get that 56.
You may have scared them off 🤔 Awesome laps BTW
We need you back in ACC .
Shit game
🥺
How on earth were you able to do weight reduction?
Have your own online server. Have admin rights. And you can add remove ballast, add restrictors etc at will.
@@smilley792 Exactly, just type in the text box "/ballast [car number] [weight change] - So like "/ballast 28 -40"
I thurst for a bar too!
Me & you both
Hype music was amazing let's gooooo
😎
Gounon killed that lap
100%, full commitment
Solid effort though. ✌🏻
🤝
The record 1.56 was set by Mercedes with the fastest speed of 308 km/h so in ACC it's not possible
If it has 100 more horsepower and DRS, it isn't a GT3. An indycar could easily break an F3 cars lap times.
I know but thought it would make for a good video
good job
Thanks🙂
Merc always feels liek a big, heavy, slow car to me. The sound is so muted...
Red Bull already Beat it
Shhhh we don't need to mention that😉
niccc!
Nice
