The best I can get and this is pushing it really hard is 2:02, if I keep it up for a few laps my tires would be on fire.

oh that's kinda reassuring as i left the track on that 2m06. what's not reassuring is my inability to go a whole lap without making a mistake.

time for some setup changes...

Join the club, I ran the 2:02 once. Most of the time I run a 2:05 or a 2:06 consistantly. I cant judge the corners right coming by the finish line and the next one. I either slow down to much or go to fast.

The brake points I can nail but I'm used ot late breaking, it's more the two right handers (Trees and Miss Piggy I call them) that exit from slower corners that i seem to mess up and run wide on.

I just cannot nail that first corner tho - it's all over the place. Plus the tendnecy for it to 'thin' before the actual turn is psyching me into initiating a turn to stay ont he road before I have lifted off the brakes. The only alternative seems so slow I think I might actually have stopped for a cup of tea

edit: ok I think I think I have found out how to do the first corner. I'd love to see some of the lines you guys are taking tho.

Hey Rocket some night maybe like a practice night or something can you run down the progression that you use when setting up a vehicle. Like what you try first and so on. I am struggling with getting these cars setups.

**USN_Squid** · 09-29-2006, 03:56 PM

Wow Rocket that is quite a lap. If you can do that 20 times in a row I don't stand a chance.

I'm with turbo, I could use some advice on setup theory as well.

RocketPunch · 09-30-2006, 09:48 PM

I did a 20 lap run this morning, and I am telling you those tires are not happy around lap 15 and they are mad around lap 18........It is like riding a wild bull and yes you literally have to "grab life by the horns".

We need to keep in mind that it takes 2+ mins for a lap here and the total race time will exceed 40 mins not to mention the car is one of the heaviest in this class.

Nikolas · 09-30-2006, 10:23 PM

So you're saying we should run low tire pressure and lock the tires in every chicane?

Here is the simplest beginner's vehicle setup guide I've found:

Setup Matrix.

It covers some items (wing angle, duct size) that are not featured in GTL, but everything else has seemed to work very well for GTL.

Edit: Grammar!

Thanks Tybalt!
