Audi R8 LMS EVO II Nurburgring HYMO Hot Lap Analysis
Let’s take a look at this hot lap of the Nurburgring in the Audi R8 LMS EVO II driven by HYMO.
The Track
The Nurburgring track located in Nurburg, Germany is a mix of both long straights and technical corners. This track requires a good car setup with enough aero to go through the corners but not too much or you will lose time on the straights. Luckily HYMO has got you covered with the same setup that is being used in the reference video. HERE
The Nurburgring track, established in 1984, was built as an extension of the renowned Nordschleife track, with a focus on meeting the highest safety standards. Nowadays the combination of both these tracks form the legendary 24 hours of Nurburgring track.
Analysis
Using the Track Titan software to compare the HYMO lap to a community lap we can see that for the fast chicane that is turn 13-14 the HYMO driver gains 0.3 seconds. According to the data, most of this time is gained in mid-corner speed.
Looking at the braking graph, we can see that the HYMO driver (orange) brakes a little bit earlier than the community driver. Which allows the HYMO driver to carry on more speed through turn 13 without getting a compromised line into turn 14. This also means that the HYMO driver can be on the throttle just a bit faster than the community driver.

Sim Racing Top Tips
Did you know that setting up your force feedback properly can significantly improve your ability to control the car? When your wheel reaches peak force during a corner, you may no longer sense any changes in how your car is behaving. If this occurs while cornering, you might not notice your car starting to slide, potentially leading to a spin.
Instead, consider entering a practice session and 'swerve' along the track to see if your force feedback reaches the clipping point. Continuously decrease your force feedback gain until you no longer reach this clipping point.
