(For reference, I use a Fanatec CSL Elite wheelbase & load cell pedals, with a Formula V2 wheel rim). I’m in this camp and regularly switch steering rotation depending on which car I drive. On the other hand, some PC users will set both values as per the table found below, mimicking vehicle manufacturers’ data to provide the most accurate force feedback from each car.

This is because ACC takes advantage of the ‘soft lock’ feature, automatically giving you optimal settings per car. On PC, steering lock is a rather contentious issue, as many people believe that setting both your wheel’s rotation and the in-game steering lock to 900° gives the best results.

Therefore, having the correct steering lock setting is key to prolonging tire life, and in GT races lasting an hour or longer, this is pivotal to your chances of success.Ĭonstant-radius corners will highlight any steering rotation issues, such as Luffield at Silverstone pictured above. This sustained tire scrubbing overheats and wears out the rubber, and will also likely cause graining, further reducing grip and tire life. For example, if you use a car with an optimum steering rotation value of 900°, but set it to 450°, you’ll notice the car’s steering goes to full lock much quicker than normal, increasing the chances of the tires reaching the limit of grip quicker. The goal of setting the correct steering lock is to minimize the amount of tire wear created by tire ‘scrubbing’. One of the things that can help transform the handling of a car in-game is ensuring the steering lock settings are at the correct values.ĭon’t scrub those tires too much now, easy on the steering lock! WHY CHANGE STEERING LOCK? Assetto Corsa Competizione (ACC) is a sim that requires a little tinkering to get the most out of it.
