If it rained at Oschers while the weather was overcast, it will surely rain at Doni. TT

jeesh, these GT1's are just as much a handful with a (what i presume is) a decent wet setup as they are in a dry configuration. Any setup tips for these monsters in the wet ? Im using 3rd and 4th in the corner exits for traction and have bumped my power diff up to 70%, Coast 60% for extra traction. I take it softer anti-roll bars and springs is the way to go? Have dropped them a little. 1:34.054 so far qually fuel. Soft wets in 50% rain.

Less camber seems to help....and reduce brake pressure.
I also reduce sensitivity of throttle too

Jeff could you post a hotlap and setup, cheers, Jan Yes, no problem . Will need to create something first . Why is everybody practicing in 50% wet? At Oschersleben I drove with a dry setup, extremely stiff and low and it was tricky, but still quick. Softer, higher and wets are my tips

Why is everybody practicing in 50% wet? Because Donington is in the UK. surely you must realise why after living here for a while.

Depends on your dry setup. When your dry setup is already very stable it will work just fine in the wet. I already have an oversteering dry setup, which could make that setup in the wet impossible to handle. However, I never make drastic changes to my dry setup. It's oversteery, but it's a very predictable oversteer, and it doesn't snap away.
