Can you point me to a setup please then? On default the understeer was dire, going through eau rouge was soul destroying. Felt more like a road car. I'm sure i must have been on the stops at one point.
I did notice that the turbo is on around 92 ish % by default. The LEDs didnt go in the red.
I think its a track i know well and typically most cars have similar braking points, except this car.

I feel like a broken record, but download the app the setupmarket. I get my setups from there and I did the same for this car. I actually felt the brakes were okay, they aren't great, but I think it is a fairly heavy car and on the main straight I am going over 300kph and it brakes at a quite normal spot. Ooh not sure Jeff, I assumed it was on max from default but maybe not? It certainly felt reasonably civilised for an old turbo race monster and my time put me head of the leaderboard against the ai hence being baffled by spanners comment  Even on max boost it is quite civilised, it's just that your 2:38 seemed a bit too far off pace. |

Ha, it probably is well off final pace as I only did 4 laps to see what fuss Spanner was making. I didn't spin or go off track so deemed it perfectly race able. Must mean the Ai are slow in this car as generally they are pretty quick nowadays. Next time I'll turn the whick up  |

I know Jeff which is why i wanted to know which setup? The one saved for Spa looks like the only thing different is its got wing 1.
Whats worry to me is that when stationary in the pits the rear of the car is slowly rising and falling. And you expect me to beleive its not doing it when driving!
New PB: 5mins

There are 2 setups on there, other one was for Monza, but that is kinda the same as the spa setup, but that is what I used. Think I only tweaked arb. |

I just took the great white sperm whale out for a spin, but even though I was dreading the car I was surprised by how fun it turned out to be  Took a bit of getting used to braking atleast 2x as early as usual, but they are quite easy to slide around in. Starting to look forward to wednesday  ( though racing in these things is probaby gonna be a pain, tyres seem to go on a coffee break after about 7 - 8 laps ) So maybe 2 short 20 minutes races is an idea ? |

Stracker didn't register my fastest lap because I went wide and lost time  . Went very extreme on the setup, but will go back to the setup market version, to see if my gained time is due to laps or setup changes. |

Big variety of times in stracker can see now why you queried the 2:38, maybe I remembered it wrong. Will do some online laps tonight to see where I'm at . |

Yeah, and a lot of traffic on the server. And not all from RRL, so maybe a bit of a full grid for this one I have to agree with Spanner on the default setup. It took me quite some laps to dial it in and needs quite a bit of tweaking. But i am no setup guru, better ask Jeff or Maikel  |

Nice info Stefan In hindsight, this car is probably wasted in a half hour sprint race. It's strength was always brute power and reliability for endurance racing. Would love it if some time in the future we have a stable of group 5 cars that we can create a 70's style endurance at a classic Spa, Le Mans, Watkins Glen etc Still, a white whale in the mists of the Ardennes is a good place to get a taster |

Wow 23 cars have posted times on stracker popular combo I'm loving this car, just wish I'd had more time to get plenty of laps in for practise. Very impressed by some of the laptimes failing to see where I can find another 5 seconds  But there is a fair spread of times so should always be someone to race. Why is this thread locked? |

So that's why I couldn't reply . I am absolutely no setup guru with AC. I was able to make setups in gtr2 and gtl, but in AC it seems to be either more precise or it works differently. Went back to the setup market setup without changes and I was faster with that than with my tweaks . |
