Default feels too stiff but havent found decent improvement so haven't saved the setup yet! Softened everything up which felt like a good start.
Laps under the Leaderboard times... not many! http://game.raceroom.com/leaderboard/?track=3291&car_class=class-5262&driving_model=2 Title: Re: RRE Season 4 (2017) Race Room DTM - Lausitz - Jan 29 Post by: spanner on January 29, 2017, 06:56:47 PM +0000 My car setup in the Audi: drop bump to 10, increase rear rebound by 2, drop rear toe to 0.15, drop front ARB to min, front spring drop one click, reduce rear ARB by 1. I've also reduced the diff preload to 2.

Title: Re: RRE Season 4 (2017) Race Room DTM - Lausitz - Jan 29 Post by: picnic on January 29, 2017, 09:47:45 PM +0000 Don't worry I hit the back of SRW (sorry) before you hit me. I couldn't believe how late everybody else could brake, I watched 3 different cars during practice and each seemed to brake around the 100 board for T1. I was braking at the 150. I was braking before SRW's lights came on but still hit him during that incident. It was like I only had 2/3rd the braking power of everyone else.
Title: Re: RRE Season 4 (2017) Race Room DTM - Lausitz - Jan 29 Post by: phspok on January 29, 2017, 10:09:19 PM +0000 DO you leave the brake bias as it comes? I make it 97% and move it back to around 52 front
Title: Re: RRE Season 4 (2017) Race Room DTM - Lausitz - Jan 29 Post by: picnic on January 30, 2017, 07:49:06 AM +0000 I did adjust the amount but not sure where I left it, either 95 or 100%. I also moved the bias back a bit but again can't remember to where.
Title: Re: RRE Season 4 (2017) Race Room DTM - Lausitz - Jan 29 Post by: spanner on January 30, 2017, 12:26:11 PM +0000 Haven't you recently changed your wheel and pedals Pete? Have you reset your R3E profile to correctly detect them?
Really enjoy this track strangely but even during practise I could tell tyre wear was going to be critical. I was never happy with the setup all through despite almost qualifying on pole, was still making last minute changes into the race. Eck managed to keep the inside into the funnelling first few corners, Ant spun out surprisingly so was trying to put pressure on Eck. However it became clear that my tyres were going off quicker than Ecks over TS so was always mindful that I couldn't keep it up for long. Yes these cars have quite short braking distances and so takes a while to adjust for people ahead, plus the use of DRS for the first time. A rather eager use of DRS coming out fo the long right hander onto the 2nd back straight while still on the kurbs spat the car right into the barriers. Never gone through the full tyre experience for the last 10mins I had no tyres according to the icon and were flashing red. Was always expecting a puncture at any moment. Great cars to drive, but tough to race, shame we ended up with 5 at the end.
