- Bonjour! Je m’appelle John et je found it almost as hard to learn the Paul Ricard circuit as I found it to learn French in school. Built in 1969, this place has a colourful history and now has equally colourful run-off areas…. And trust me, you will be needing to use them!
In recent times, Paul Ricard has been an ideal testing facility for cars of all types with its variation. Almost every corner has a different challenging aspect that will take you a while to get the hang of, but at least you have that insane back straight to have a breather.
In this video, I attempt to teach you some of the better ways to drive around this circuit. Making this video was the first time I had ever lapped the track and I probably found it to be the most difficult on ACC to master. Hopefully, that hard work wasn’t in vein and I can help you guys find some valuable lap time over your rivals!
Here are so benchmarks for you to chase, just make sure you have some patience for this one if, like me, you are new to it:
Pro - 1:52:60
Pro-Am - 1:55:00
Am - 1:58:00
My time - 1:53:30
How do you all feel about Paul Ricard? Is it an enjoyable circuit to race on or should it stick to being a test track? Make sure you let us know your thoughts!

Very helpful video, only one thing i would like to point out is that it will be very smart to put in the accelerator and brake bars so we can see when you are crusing, accelerating and braking and how hard
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the feedback! We added these in later track guides (the American Track Pack) and will continue to have them in any future guide 😊
Thank you, this was very helpful! Love the slick video transitions especially the one at 1:34 !
One of the best instruction videos I’ve seen, hope you keep making them!
Thanks very much!
Have had ACC for years but only just started Paul Ricard this week for the first time in any game. Currently stuggling to break into 57s but getting there slowly. This video helps!
Glad it helps!
I only drive this track because of th lfm schedule. I'd happily never drive it again if I could.
fantastic guide, very helpful video
Glad you think so!
"there is a disgusting bump..." AMG driver fast forwards the video 5 sec xD
Not wrong 😂
Thanks for the video. This track is where I struggle the most. Other tracks are more suitable for my newbie style lol. LFM just put it instead of Laguna Seca, due to the bug, where I felt better. Barely 1.56.4 now. Need to practice a lot more....
I cannot get turn 8 for the life of me, so difficult. Thanks for the tutorial on the map though! great video.
Still going 2:03s lol but I was going 2:07s before so thank you!!
Great to hear! Keep chipping away 😄
Thank you for that video! :) Is there a chance to check the replay with input telemetry maybe? :)
Perfect.
Thanks for the help on the track. Could you do a video on the track with a controller to show the time difference between using a wheel and a controller. Is it impossible to get the same time using a controller as you can using a wheel. Thanks.
I'll pass this on to the video team but having seen what people can do on controller I would say honestly that yes, with the right settings the controller can be the same pace as a wheel.
Well, I got my time down to 2:02. But I can’t brake nearly as hard or late as you without sliding all over the place.
Only had a wheel for 2 months, so this is all brand new. But I feel like I’m braking in the right place but understeer super bad and can’t turn, and if I brake a tiny bit harder I spin, and a tiny bit less and I just fly into the run off. Multiply that issue by every single corner.
Any tips/thoughts besides get good?
Ok great. Helpful. Now that 1.8 is on consoles… it means I gotta relearn how to drive, plus it doesn’t save my setups any more. Nor are my old ones still here. 🤦♂️ It’s like what you all saw on PC… except we don’t have a saved documents folder. This game has become so frustrating. Again.
Lol. Sort of.
VR SIMULATORS..!!! LEEDS
Do you soften the suspension for PR. I struggle with this track, I’m always way of the pace when i feel I’ve nailed a lap, which has to mean setup. Currently using the AMG and even finding that nervous over curbs when it usually smashes them
maybe try another car, because from what I heard AMG is very sensitive to slight changes in set up and finding perfect can be annoying proces, but of course it's only my opinion based on what I heard and my experience
does not necessarily mean setup sometimes just because a lap felt good doesn't mean that the lap actually was good
1:54.7 attained today, I'm getting there slowly!
thought imola was hard until I got to Paul Ricard
h ardest track ive ever been on so far and its all because of the 2nd half. First half i can fly through but im not used to those long 2-3 apex turns.
As always great video. If I might make 1 suggestion it's the AM times. Most people who are newer to the game won't hit the am times you suggest.
I find my self just barely beating them on some tracks and being a tad slower on others. Id say make the AM times what it takes to beat the AI. That's more realistic for a newbie. I'm doing this track now in one of the championships and am just hitting 1:58 in the Ferrari Evo. Simply because it takes so much to learn everything in this game to get the car to handle to suit each person's driving style and learning the track at the same time. Definitely using the wrong gears in few turns.
A trail breaking video would be cool too if you haven't already done one.
Well maybe you are not AM then
People who are new to the game are not AM. About beating the AI, at which level? At 100%, the AI makes around 1.55.
@@cinnamongirl8158 the times on this video are now absolute due to the updates since this video was made.
AM isn't amatuer in the way you think. AM is amateur class, the speed the ai try to match, like real AM level drivers in le man. I'm near pro/am now, and it's getting harder to find more lap time.
Pushed my first 1:56.344 on controller today, might get a sim rig soon to see how much more time I can gain.
Initially you will find it strange but keep at it and believe me the immersion alone makes it so worthwhile
@@TraxionGG noice
@@KG-byson did you already get one?
One of the best guides for one of the worst tracks. I can honestly say I hate this circuit.
Can't get under 2:02 for now, will try to apply your advices tonight.
Idk if it’ll help you, but this helped me: I set up a race vs. AI (100/90 rating/aggression) and just stayed on their bumper. Immediately trimmed 3s off my time & broke 2:00! On the safe setup, with 30L of fuel. And not annihilating curbs like J does in the vid. So there’s definitely more time to be had.
Now, I can’t say playing “follow the leader” helped me learn the track lol… but it learned me how to break 2min in race conditions w/ all the above handicaps. Sweet. 🤘
Edit: Emil Frey Jag & idk how that compares to the R8.
I always think I have decent lap times until I see I’m 4 seconds slower than your as amateur titled lap time
Production values are nice, but explanation of each corner is somewhat cursory. Slo-mo run-through of the corners with a little more academic approach would be appreciated. Estimated lap times at end of video are somewhat exaggerated; Pro lap time is better than what the actual pros managed during qualifying in FANATEC ESPORTS GT PRO SERIES - 2021; AM time is probably out of reach of most casual ACC players, and will probably require a serious commitment from intermediate skill ACC players to achieve.
Just spent 30 mins practicing for the first time on Paul Ricard and got down to a 1m58 before watching this. Pretty sure I'll go do another 30 mins and get down to a 1m56 now after this guide
@@Lee-xs4dj Then you don't fall under the casual or new acc players
I'm so bad at this track :(
Honestly it's a track that is really difficult to maximise the time on but stick to it, you'll get it.
Nice guide, thanks, but personally I find the head motion on the cockpit shots, and the fast slide/zoom transitions pretty disorientating and unpleasant to watch.
Too fast for me. To many different views and had to go back again and again
its not as easy as it seems
Why not have telemetry? So bizarre! Beautiful video though, just not helpful at all.
