Naming our setups is not an easy task, especially as updates and physics changes are made. To help you understand what each setup file name means on each sim platform we create setups for, we have documented it below:
With console and PC copies of the game now on the same game version on ACC, the below is relevant for BOTH PC and Console customers of Coach Dave Academy who use Assetto Corsa Competizione.
We also have our file naming structure for iRacing and Le Mans Ultimate here so you can see everything in one handy place.
Our iRacing Naming Convention
Our iRacing catalogue of content is very vast, as we cover so much each and every season. So it is easy to get lost in all of the different setups we release for all of the cars and all of the series we cover.
We follow a simple method of naming our setups as follows:
- The season build we are in
- The series it is for
- The car it is for
- The track it is for
Finally we let you know what version type/number it is:
- E01 (Endurance)
- S01 (Sprint)
- Q01 (Qualy)
- WE01 (Wet Endurance)
- WS01 (Wet Sprint)
- WQ01 (Wet Qualy)
If a setup appears with number 2 at the end, it means it is an alternate version of the setup like E02, S02, Q02 etc. Here are 3 example to show you a visual representation of our naming convention.
- Is a season 4, 2024 build for the IMSA series for the BMW M4 GT3 at Red Bull Ring using our Endurance setup.
- Is a season 4, 2024 build for the GT3 Sprint series for the Ferrari 296 GT3 at Silverstone using our Sprint setups.
- Is a season 4, 2024 build for the Porsche Cup series for the Porsche Cup car at Road Atlanta using our qualifying setup.

24S4 GT3S 296GT3 SIL S01 – Sprint setup |
24S4 PCUP PCUP ROA Q01 – Qualifying setup |
Our Le Mans Ultimate Naming Convention
A new game we create setups for means new naming conventions to follow. Below we outline all of the abbreviations we will be using for all of the cars and tracks in LMU, with a setup example at the very bottom. We have done this as we believe this will be the best way for you to understand and separate what the different setups are.

SETUP NAME EXAMPLES:
CDA CSVR FUJI Q01 – Qualifying setup |
CDA CSVR FUJI R01 – Race setup |
CDA CSVR FUJI S01 – Safe setup |
Assetto Corsa Competizione
The following is the naming convention we will be using on ACC for GT3 and GT4:
- CDA4 – V1.9 version number
- M4 GT3 – Example car name
- BAR – Example track abbreviation
- RS – Safe setup
- RF – Fast setup
- Q – Qualifying setup
Setup name examples include:
- Fast: CDA4 M4 GT3 BAR RF04
- Safe: CDA4 M4 GT3 BAR RS04
- Qualifying: CDA4 M4 GT3 BAR Q04
The version number at the end of the setup file, like the Q04 or the RS04 examples you see above, is in reference to the date of creation. The later the number the newer the version that setup was created and released by Coach Dave Academy.
Example: CDA4 M4 GT3 ZOL RF01
CDA4 | Coach Dave Academy Setup |
M4 GT3 | Model Designation |
ZOL | Three letter track abbreviation |
RF01 | Race Fast version 1 |
Jardier Naming Convention
Just like our own existing setups in Coach Dave Delta right now, the brand new Jardier setups will follow a similar naming convention for each track. This is as follows:
- JARDIER – Signifying it’s a Jardier community setup
- R – Signifying it is a race setup
- Q – Signifying it is a qualifying setup
- Dry – Signifying it is a dry setup
- Wet – Signifying it is a wet setup
- 01/02 – Signifying the version of the setup
Setup naming examples in Delta:
- JARDIER R Dry 01
- JARDIER Q Dry 01
The basis for whether it is a race or qualifying setup is just determined by the fuel load that was saved by Jardier at the time of the setup being made. They could be used for both race and qualifying.
JARDIER | Signifying it’s a Jardier community setup |
R | Signifying it is a race setup |
Dry | Signifying it is a dry setup |
01 | Signifying the version of the setup |
Coach Dave “M” Setups
Given our new Meta setups follow a very different philosophy to our existing setups, they will also have a slightly different name in Delta. We will be dropping the version number from the name and the variant. This is because they will be constantly changed and updated based on the LFM calendars and physics updates.
Kunos BOP Setups
We break the meta “M” setups into two different categories. We have meta setups for some cars that have been created on the base Kunos BOP. We also have “M” setups that are created weekly for supported cars for the daily LFM series. These have an added prefix at the end.
The naming convention example then is as follows for the Kunos BOP:
- CDA M M4 GT3 BAR Q
- CDA M M4 GT3 BAR R
CDA M | Coach Dave Academy Meta Setup |
M4 GT3 | Model Designation |
BAR | Three letter track abbreviation |
Q/R | Qualifying/Race setup – Kunos BOP |
The M stands for “Meta”, which will allow customers to distinguish it from the normal CDA4 setups.
LFM Meta Setups
As mentioned above, the LFM setups that are created on the ever evolving LFM BOP have a different prefix attached to their “M” setup. Any time you see an “LFM” prefix at the end of the setup, you know it has been created on the latest LFM BOP currently in use for that track.
The naming convention example then is as follows if LFM BOP is applied to the setup:
- CDA M M4 GT3 BAR Q LFM
- CDA M M4 GT3 BAR R LFM
CDA M | Coach Dave Academy Meta Setup |
M4 GT3 | Model Designation |
BAR | Three letter track abbreviation |
Q/R | Qualifying/Race setup |
LFM | Setup has been created on the latest LFM BOP |
Wet Setups
Some setups, particularly Wet Setups, contain different abbreviations in their name. This simply indicates the difference in conditions for that configuration of the setup.
MED WET | Medium Rain Conditions |
HVY WET | Heavy Rain/Flooded Conditions |
MED WET Q | Medium Rain Qualifying Setup |
Example File Name:
- Heavy Wet: CDA4 296 BAR HVY WET
- Medium Wet: CDA4 296 BAR MED WET
- Qualifying Wet: CDA4 296 BAR MED WET Q
Single Make Cars
List of the following single-make cars:
- BMW M2 CS Racing
- Lamborghini Huracan Super Trofeo EVO 2
- Ferrari 488 Challenge EVO
- Porsche 992 Cup
For our single-make bundles for ACC, we have adopted a slightly different strategy compared to the GT3 and GT4 cars.
For each circuit, you will instead receive a high downforce, medium downforce and low downforce setup, along with its associated qualifying setup. The following table shows the naming convention for these.
LDF | Low Downforce Variant |
MDF | Medium Downforce Variant |
HDF | High Downforce Variant |
Q | Qualifying Variant Of The Setup |
How To Install The Setups
If You Are On PC:
Installing setups has never been easier with the introduction of Coach Dave Delta, your one-stop shop, companion app that takes the hassle out of dealing with setups on a daily basis.
Use Delta for every install, for every car, on every track. Delta will auto-install the setups you need when you join a session, including setting the right tyre pressures against the track temperatures.
If you are in qualifying, pick the Q setup from the auto-install, if you are in a R session pick the R setup from the auto-install, simple as that. The only thing to do is sort your correct fuel.
Have a read of our extensive ‘How To Use Delta Guide‘ if you do find yourself not understanding something. Remember Delta is free for anyone with an active setup subscription.
If You Are On Console:
For console users, it is slightly different as Delta is only a PC-compatible app. But we still have you covered with the Coach Dave Academy console wizard.
Here is how to work with magic;
- Browse the setup you want to import to the console and click the ‘Console Wizard’ button.
- You will be presented with a new interface that takes you through each setting step by step.
- You will now see both setup values listed on the screen in a similar structure to what you would see in the game.
If you are struggling still, do not worry. Why not take a look at our extensive ‘How to Install ACC Setups On Console‘, this should give you all the answers you are looking for.
You can also download your Coach Dave Academy setups and use the console ACC comparator tool so you can see the correct values for your setups.
