The KTM X-BOW GT4, renowned for its ultra-lightweight build and nimble handling, delivers an engaging drive perfect for tight circuits and rapid changes in direction. In contrast, the Ginetta G55 GT4 brings a blend of stability and power, excelling in its ability to tackle high-speed corners and maintain consistency across long stints.
Both cars offer unique driving experiences, making them standout choices for hybrid setups. With these configurations, you can confidently take on dynamic weather conditions while fully utilizing the capabilities of each car. Whether it’s for a quick lap or a challenging endurance race, these setups are crafted to help you adapt and perform at your best in ACC.
THE KTM X-BOW GT4
AERODYNAMIC BALANCE
The KTM X-Bow GT4 excels with its lightweight design and racing-inspired aerodynamics. Its flat underbody and efficient rear diffuser provide significant downforce, ensuring stability at high speeds. This makes it a competitive option for drivers navigating twisty circuits in Assetto Corsa Competizione (ACC), offering sharp cornering and predictable handling.
WET WEATHER & FUEL EFFICIENCY
With a weight of just 975 kg (depending on Balance of Performance), the KTM handles mixed conditions effectively. Its minimal weight allows for confident braking and precise steering even in the wet. Paired with a fuel-efficient 2.0L Audi turbocharged engine, this car is built for endurance, keeping pit stops efficient and lap times consistent.
BRAKING EFFICIENCY
Large AP Racing brakes are specially engineered for the KTM, providing outstanding stopping power. Its lightweight construction also extends the longevity of brake pads and discs, making it cost-effective and reliable for long races.
PERFORMANCE IN VARIOUS CONDITIONS
The KTM’s advanced canopy system enhances safety while improving visibility in low-light or variable weather. Its adaptability to Balance of Performance regulations ensures competitive handling across different GT4 racing series.
TOP SPEED & STRAIGHT-LINE PERFORMANCE
Powered by an Audi-sourced engine delivering up to 360 bhp, the KTM achieves competitive acceleration. While it lacks the raw horsepower of some rivals, its aerodynamic efficiency compensates, keeping it nimble in the straights and dominant through corners.
TYRE MANAGEMENT
The lightweight chassis and balanced weight distribution reduce tyre wear significantly. This makes the KTM X-Bow GT4 a strong choice for endurance events, where maintaining consistent grip is crucial.
THE GINETTA G55 GT4
AERODYNAMIC BALANCE
The Ginetta G55 GT4 prioritizes handling and downforce, with a design suited for mid-level and advanced drivers in ACC. Its relatively aggressive aerodynamics provide stability at high speeds and through tight corners.
WET WEATHER & FUEL EFFICIENCY
In mixed conditions, the Ginetta remains manageable due to its balanced weight distribution and predictable handling. Its engine efficiency helps extend stints in endurance races without sacrificing competitive performance.
BRAKING EFFICIENCY
The G55 GT4’s braking system allows for late, precise braking, ideal for technical sections of challenging tracks. Its balance between front and rear ensures stability during heavy deceleration.
PERFORMANCE IN VARIOUS CONDITIONS
The Ginetta performs best on circuits that demand sharp turning and consistent mid-speed stability. While it might not outpace all rivals on straights, its ability to maintain momentum through corners offers an edge in lap times.
TOP SPEED & STRAIGHT-LINE PERFORMANCE
Its naturally aspirated V6 engine emphasises reliability and manageable power delivery, making it forgiving for newer drivers while still rewarding skilled racers.
TYRE MANAGEMENT
The Ginetta G55 GT4 demonstrates strong tyre longevity due to its balanced handling. This feature makes it a dependable choice for endurance-focused events, minimising the frequency of tyre changes.
WHY HYBRID SETUPS ARE ESSENTIAL
Endurance races often feature unpredictable weather, transitioning from dry to wet over several hours. To address this, organisers may increase the weather variability coefficient, leading to conditions that can change mid-race. With our new ACC Hybrid Setups, you have a configuration that works well in both dry conditions and medium rain, making it ideal for races with mixed weather.
KEY BENEFITS OF HYBRID SETUPS:
- Adaptability: Ideal for races with variable weather, especially when there is a high chance of both dry and wet conditions.
- Performance: These setups are optimised for 70% dry and 30% wet conditions, ensuring stable handling across different weather scenarios.
- Consistency: Hybrid setups offer reliable performance in medium rain when there are many cars on the track, simulating near-dry conditions. For heavy rain or thunderstorms, switching to a MED WET setup is recommended.
WHEN TO USE HYBRID SETUPS
- Mixed Weather Races: Perfect for endurance events where the weather forecast predicts a mix of dry and rainy conditions.
- Medium Rain: Ideal when there are 25-30+ cars on track, creating a visible dry line, allowing the car to handle almost like it’s in light rain.
- Avoid in Extreme Wet: Not suitable for heavy rain or thunderstorms; switch to a dedicated wet setup instead.
