AGS had brought beautiful mechanics to the Charade circuit. Jacky Ickx’s Ford GT40, an Oreca FLM09, and an AGS JH24. And for the first time, this single-seater was treading on the historic 8-kilometer track. The team based in the south of France had to prepare for the event accordingly.<\/p>\n
They then recognized the track thanks to video games. \u00ab We use Assetto Corsa. But iRacing is also pretty good \u00bb, says Simon Bax, driver for the AGS team. \u00ab It pretty much reflects the truth most of the time. However, for Charade, it’s more complicated because it was modeled by players and not developers. \u00bb<\/p>\n
If the main layout is the same, there’s nothing like a walk-through to analyze it more closely. \u00ab The corners are tighter in reality. At the connection point to the old layout, there are bumps. Therefore, we raised the car by two centimeters. \u00bb<\/p>\n
AGS also uses this video game to prepare its races throughout France. \u00ab You can adjust the gearbox and choose the gears. \u00bb But for Charade, no specific adjustments because this day was dedicated to demonstration. \u00ab We are behind a safety car, I would have liked to accelerate a little bit, jokes Simon Bax.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
