Porsche 992 GT3 R Oulton Park HYMO Hot Lap Analysis

‍

Let’s take a look at this hot lap of Oulton Park in the Porsche 992 GT3 R driven by HYMO.

The Track

Oulton Park, set in the picturesque English countryside, is a track where natural beauty meets the adrenaline of racing. Its 4.307 km length is punctuated with 17 challenging turns, including the high-speed Island Bend and the tight Knickerbrook chicane. The circuit's combination of rapid elevation changes and narrow track width demands precision driving and a strong focus on car handling. Loosely following the route of the former estate’s access roads, the scenic circuit traverses the natural contours of the Cheshire countryside.

Analysis

The analysis below uses the Track Titan platform to compare a HYMO reference hotlap to one of the Track Titan community drivers through Segment 9. From the racing line comparison below we discover that the community driver misses the apex. It appears their car speed into the corner matches that of the reference, which suggests that the cause of this was turn in point, stability or car setup related. Likely a combination of all three. The HYMO reference lap and setup will help this driver nail the corner entry. The wider line means the community driver has to delay coming back onto throttle or they would run out of road. This hurts their exit by 0.2s.

Sim Racing Top Tips

For low-budget sim racing, focus on essential equipment that offers the best value for money. Invest in a reliable, yet affordable steering wheel and pedal set, as these greatly impact your racing experience. Opt for a sturdy desk or a basic wheel stand instead of an expensive cockpit setup. Use a comfortable chair that provides good support. For software, explore free or less expensive sim racing titles that offer good physics and a variety of tracks and cars like ACC. Lastly, practice is key; even with modest equipment, consistent practice can significantly improve your skills.
