Quite, was nice being 2nd in the timesheets because not many folks were there! The Windows Update restart counter appeared though, behind GTR so I never noticed it until it rebooted the machine, hence my random departure, I'll see you on Sunday no doubt!

I've resigned from the 550 Whoever started the rumour thats its the best of the old lot needs a good slappin. Looks like i'll be in the Saleen as its something i've been wanting to try out since i started and hopefully might not be quite so bad. 1.39 so far and at least its more manageable. Though in desperation if anyone does have a semi-normal 550 setup i could try to work out where i've gone wrong it would be most appreciated.

I am a complete GTR novice but I managed a 1:39.9 in the 550 last night with what is still, in essence, the default setup. I may have tweaked the diff a tad and I may also have softened the front anti-roll bar a click. You can have it if you tell me how to get it there. I could still do with more turn-in but haven't a clue how to get it as nothing that I do seems to have any great effect. It's probably down to my stupid feet. Especially the left one. Nice track.

Err exactly. I've gone more extreme than that, dropping the f-arb down to 100 and even less, raising the rear to 30-40, dropping the diff right down, softening the whole car or stiffening it etc. But it seems to drive it you need quite a bizarre setup, or at least change your style to drve it from the rear. I can do 39-40's with it but i felt i was have to catch the front from washng out all the time and i just cant sort the brakes out so it starts to lock right at the end and keeps some heat so i'm not braking from cold and having to use most of the straight! I know its down to me and my style but everytime i drive it, its frustrating. To me it just understeers, which for a car with pretty much central weight dist is strange. meds on the front have no grip, softs wear out too much. Strangly the Aston was better than this and you felt that mass in the front more but it would still turn in nicely.

Cheers Martin. I do have Gregers setups but just looking at them puts me off! I'll try the others.
