The only value that counts is the locking percentage - computed from RA and clutches - look into Lees "Setup Manager"

Well, I looked into my archive and found 3 MA setups

Funny I am doing this and do not claim to be alien, my brake bias is mostly 49 at some tracks 48

I simply was looking for a method of stable braking - SCX Ford MK4 360kph to 65kph Mulsanne....

I watched the braking replay in the SCX gearbox view (90° side) and learned wich tyre locks first,
so I reduced the BB to the value I had a good feeling and could smoothly go further into acceleration.

Of course a load cell brake where you can dose the braking helps a lot, and left foot braking.

2 years ago I would have proposed Masaki Asano setups for beginners, he had modified the Huttu setups for normal drivers...

Matt,
get a Robert Fleurke setup at groundhog/weekly,
if there is no Imola take a Nurburg as a balanced base (http://www.formulado.hu/weekly/?p:crank/files/)
I prefer an easy handling car here - Fez or BT24...

This track needs many laps routine and a good rhythm of shifting down!

Yes a hard race for me too, starting with a big pain in my back and was mostly busy to avoid any hurting move...

Yeah, Pete sorry for the takeout, those cars have the early new tyre-model of GPL and tend to sudden snap over when temps reach 80°
I promise the SC71 are better!

Grats Yannick and Greg - but don't forget Clive made a 2:12 too in the ChapE

I found out when Doni was wondering...

I just learned that the US + Canada have switched to Summer time!

UK + Central Europe - we still have winter/normal GMT (UTC) and CET atm  (UTC +1h)
we switch to ST - 31.03.2024

I start my UKGPL_8  server atm and you can test 

It seems to me that we will soon need all-round care for our ageing drivers

GLA + FUN

Even the pirouette and crossing the chicane on sand did not make it (80) invalid...

Just a question to the trackmakers: Would it be possible to set some concrete cones or hay bales on this track change the name and let run it?

IMO the key point here is the chicane where you can hardly see the limits, but if you cut it you make easy an 1-2 sec advantage

I am with it...

Just compare with pribluda tyre pressure/temps

Yes, not enabled...

BUT

enable the tyre pressure bug fix patch - getit from Lee's site: http://gplmotorworks.gplworld.de/

Just tested on/off -1sec!

Pete, as hoster you can switch the checkpoints off in iGOR...

I do not understand that those trackmakers do not set a pole in such places, so you can clearly see the limit
I am pretty happy for such poles or tires set in the corner as a fix landmark to go!

ATM I am with Marcos in friendly PM contact talking about his ways of limitation...
"Yes, the banks of Bulawayo are terrible... I tried to prevent people to run over the "grass", but maybe I was too harsh... "
