We are at Sandown this weekend for the start of the 'Season of Endurance'. A good chance to get a practice run in these cars if you are thinking of having a go at the following round at Bathurst! The practice server is up and running!

We are still slightly adrift from our quarterly target, so if you haven't contributed yet, please don't forget to do so

For a such a basic track layout its still pretty tough if just to work out braking points!
Must be just trying to carry too much speed as i am struggling at such slow speed and understeer too much especially in the final chicane. Never got the front working well at all. Tried increasing and decrasing springs from my default but softer always feels better but alot of roll.

Any setup tips would be appreciated, i normally just go with the default setup, but struggling with the kerbs here

Since FMG posted his nissan setup up i've been using that for the last few events which have transformed my ability to drive it! By default it felt quite stiff which also meant not much mechanical grip i.e the tyres felt like they werent in contact with the road and so making braking and turning harder than it should. I still have to have the brake pressure down to 85% as the car still just locks up way too easily.
From what i remember the main thing was the springs where down around 85 and 66 N/mm front and rear with the arb increased some to help limit the rolling.
I can try and save mine on the server.

The download link of the cars is now 2.5 and makes it impossible to join.

That's the link I used to join the server, but it was quite hidden and it will prevent new people from joining. Thanks for the link, maybe use this in the opening post, or upgrade to 2.5?

We have been racing this for 5months plenty of time for people to download and try out!
Looks like they have updated the website recently as well.
Any ideas whats changed to go to 2.5?

That's the right mentality if you don't want the grids to grow
