    Hot tip for mandatory pit stops. You must enter the pits but you actually don't have to take any fuel or change tyres, giving you a very short stationary time in the pits :)

    Awesome, if you find the feedback is too low turn it back it back up and that should have gone away

    And I think I read somewhere that you should match the SOP scale to the master scale?

    General rule is yes you match the two up with the same value

    yeah cheers guys.
    Will equal them up tonight and see what i get.
    I turned 20 laps last night and it felt pretty good. im in the low 1.57s now. With a second or 2 still out there. Better then the 2.00s i was doing at the m&g. Amazing what learning a track can do lol

    Good run tonight at Brno. You div2 drivers better slow down or just jump up to div1 with those times you were doing.... You know who you all are. Name and praising comes soon lol

    So some actual tuning talk now. With the standard setup I hit a ceiling of 58.6 so I mucked around with the springs and lowered all the dampers and suspension to half way between soft and stiff. First flying lap I punch out .9 seconds of my previous best times. Soften everything or almost everything and see how soft you like it. Next up run your downforce at front-1 rear-5 and use that as ur base for this track.
    Once you lowered tyre pressures and soften the car up, play with the sway bars if your still sliding around. I increased my fronts to around 90-92 and the rear to around 34 (or whatever the closest settings are). This helped with stability on turn in and mid corner for me.
    Maybe not your cup of tea but my steering ratio is at 10.0:1
    Something to think about and play around with :)

    Was some good times tonight and the wheel settings talk helped me shave a second off my best. Cheers for the info @Spidey_11

    Had my first "official" run in the car last night. Stock tune is excellent, was running a good pace with full fuel. None of the changes I made to the car seemed to make it any faster! I will try some of the stuff suggested in this thread at some stage though.

    Awesome car, can't wait to do battle in it!

    My setup would understeer like a :):):):):) with those sway bar settings. Mine are at 54 F and 34 R but my front springs are probably set stiffer to make up for it. Everyones setup is different after all...

    I was running max aero and while easy to drive i hit a wall around the mid 56s. Last night i dropped to 1 F and 6R which is much faster and i will test even lower tonight. My recommendation is to go with 1F and then drop the rear wing slowly until you start to get high speed oversteer occuring

    Aero should be 1F 7R to help reduce lift off oversteer. Also I found hard braking as late as possible helped in lap times. So far I'm on a 54.1 with a little more to go.
    Set up;
    Aero 1-7
    Camber - 0-0
    Diff - 32/27
    Gearing - 4.9
    Brakes - 93/57
    Brake duct - 0 (brake temps don't get past 330 deg)

    I lost the audio banter last night. Not sure why..
    So i missed out on tuning tips.
    I turned 21 laps and made no dramatic improvement with times. A 1.57.800 was the best i could get. Front end is falling away as i drive out of the corners.
    I cant find a sweet brake point for turn 1 or 11.
    Theres still alot of gains to be found..

    Do you mean front camber 0 and rear camber 0?
    What do you have your sway bars setup at and also have you softened the springs?
