IIRC Legzy did a setup guide but it was a few years ago. You should probably trawl through all his old post's. Good luck with that  Wink

Wow, that was a long time ago now. Still holds true for Gtl, PnG & GTR2, though a 2cm ride height difference is more normal for me (than the 3cm I suggested back then).

As good as (I think Wink) that guide is, I've never gotten my head around how best to setup for bumpy tracks (which is more to do with "fast bump/rebound" I believe.

I guess when I'm setting cars up, I'm looking to make car safer anywhere I'm struggling & enable me to attack better & grow confidence at key places. Not forgetting I try to even out front vs rear tyre wear so I don't get surprises late in a race.

Hope it helps even a little maybe Smiley

I found this a while back for rFactor but principles are the same.

There is also a setup tool available at Race2Play which is kind of interactive. I've used it in the past and found it useful, before I developed my finger in the air method  Smiley

I can't work out how to make it a sticky topic, so if you can't do it Tony, let me know how

It should be a tab at the bottom of a thread page but strangely I don't see it so it may be a rights issue. I'll ask Dave.
