Not the most interesting configuration and with laptimes being near 1 minute will be along race. The first and last corners are a killer in this car with it bouncing around way too much. Decent setup is critical to stay in one piece.

Can't find a way to setup the car to get through T1 and the final turn. 1:05s when i stay on, but lifting doesn't help much as that just leads to lift-off oversteer which you don't want when going through a bumpy section and trying to keep the wheel straight is the only sane way of doing it, but they are both corners so keeping the wheel straight is a bit difficult too. Hmmmm. Hopefully one of the clever guys will do a setup we can all steal.

You have to keep a tight line to avoid the worst of the bumps, then you can drive an almost straight line across both of the really bad bumps and feather the throttle as you do so.

The love from you guys for the car/track/setup options and my lack of affection for the car means I'm probably not going to bother.

The Radical is one of those cars the setup is massiively important. A bad setup makes it a bad car, but a good setup transforms it completely.

I think we might have to go to fixed setup's for the Radical Just to let you know, my internet connection has been a bit dodgy for the last few days. If I haven't got the practice server up by 7 that means I'm offline so I'd appreciate someone else kicking it off at that point.

Liverpool vs Man City tonight so probably no practice till tomorrow. Alternatively if there is an IndyCar race at Zandvoort tonight in the official series I may skip footy for that cause I've done some TTs in that combo and Zandvoort is ruddy awesome with the IndyCar. Gives the good guys a chance to finish their setups and post them for those of us too useless to create our own.

all setups in iR seem to be far too underdamped which doesnt work round here. Have upped the rebound a fair bit which has certainly helped. only done a 1.07 so far but never quite got the haipin right yet.

Sure thing, the session won't be full. The more the merrier

No doubt by now Darren has already taken my setup and done a 1:02.8 but I left one in the session with an unrepeatable 1:03.1 to aim at.

Nice one Dave, sorry I spun a few times in front of you. I've done less than 2 hours driving since the last DP race.
