    Back to the drawing board for me, after seeing how shocking my 'fast set-up' is on its tyres :eek: :poop:

    Try the following:
    • Ride height near maximum
    • Zero camber and toe
    • Differential settings all near minimum
    • Downforce low to medium
    From the testing done so far, there seems to be a compromise between raw lap times and tire wear. Making one less pit stop may be the difference between first and last.

    Also, I was mistaken earlier in suggesting the pit entry was before Turn 3. After watching some footage the entry is actually on the Start/Finish straight.

    Anyone up for a practice on Saturday night ?
    To get a feel for running in traffic, and tweaking the tune a bit (or lots)?
    Will open a room about 8pm

    Haven't perfected a tune yet, can't stop burning the right front tyre without pussy footing.

    will put something up. still a work in progress though.
    If you use @Bryan_F 's advice ^^^ it's gold, then just tweak the box (I'm maxing 403 on the strait, solo running, full tanks) , and fiddle with the suspension (don't go softer)
    I was destroying the right rear. Have been trying to make it lean more on the front to take some of the heat

    Set-up seems to be driver dependent a bit.

    To be perfectly honest, i have put @grassies set-up on mine, and i hated it.
    He put mine on his ( :roflmao: ), and he hated it.
    I'm not sure anything i put up will be of any use to anyone :unsure:

    Will be there.

    Your tune will depend largely on whether you intend to lift off in the turns, and if you like the car to be loose or push in handling balance.
