Well, you're right guys, my source was incomplete. Need to re-think my setup now.. Didn't know it was this year and at this place that Mark Donohue got killed sadly.

Thanks to MJ and vva_avv for the pointers this evening, results much better, if not threatening for pole position just yet. Was not finding it pleasant early on...

must say when i watched you onboard briefly Les, after my setup suggestions that i was using, the car looked terrible to drive like it had too-sharp steering inputs to make it see-saw side to side Are you running correct steering rotation? to me it looked like the steering was way too sensitive. If i get a spare ten minutes this evening i'll take that car for a drive with my own setup for comparison. Must say i do like this track for historics racing, always feels right mighty fast on the whole but with tricky technical corners in some parts.

I think my (T300RS) steering rotation is set to the maximum, but I'll check. Vva_avv ran a few laps in the March after you left and thought it felt similar to the Tyrell. I made a few more changes and did a 1:41 although still with wings at 7 7, race fuel and hard tyres

assume it should be set to 900degs rotation. 7-7 wing here is way too much, its a low downforce circuit really with the proviso of the tricky downhill cambered corners. With a light front and heavy rear you just dont need that much rear wing.

I'll give it another go at 6/5 and see how it goes, now that in general it seems more manageable. Early on, as soon as the back end stepped out, I was finding it impossible to correct, either to hold the slide, or stop it snapping in the other direction

I should think about lower it down to 900° too. Does anyone know how much it actually was on those single seaters ?

Set 900° and the game will use the degrees necessary for the car in question.
Just for info, the F1s during '70 had around 450°-500°. Lotus 49 ('67) had 540°.

That's what I thought, set to the max in the thrustmaster control panel, then in content manager select the steering axis option to 'auto-adjust scale to match car's steering lock'. Assuming there's a config for the car itself... No idea where that might be
