Quite frustrating reading all these, I have no idea what my times are in comparison and no way to find out! Mark, these really need throwing about as they naturally understeer. Have a good play with the diff settings when suspension stops helping you.

I usually run very low coast, to get the car to turn in. I'm not really fussed about instability under braking, as I often keep a bit of throttle to keep it stable. I tried maximum power diff on this car to see how that feels, and I was immediatly 0.2s faster coming out of some corners, probably due to better traction, but I didn't feel the negatives of it. So I guess I'll leave it at that, it's just a bit annoying to just guess these settings and not really have any idea why it works.

There are definitely disadvantages, try curve grande at monza 66 with power and coast set mega tight You won't make it very many times....

I'm enjoying driving the car, just frustrated that I haven't improved my time in the last 30 laps which is odd, though not got much single seater experience sim or real You guys up front all using stick shifts? Sometimes think it's just down to type of controllers being used. My th8 feels authentic, but not as fast as someone using paddles naturally. I probably just need more laps with this car. Plenty of scope for errors during the race and several are on similar pace so should be good fun

So let me get this right, when it comes to qually and the race you have the option of using stick or paddle, hardly seems fair.

Where do you read that? Only if you send that TH8 my way . Bribing is absolutely allowed here

My quickest race setup lap is currently around a 1:50. Hardly done any racing lately so doubt if that will improve before Wednesday

Where do you read that? From Marks entry #18 above sort of implied it and also when you look at stracker laptimes some have "paddle", some have "other", I have "H shifter" and some just have "-" under the shifter section

As these cars are quite different from the usual cars (still 4 wheels, same pedals and basic gears mind you!) I thought I'd better do at least a little bit of practice if I had time, so I've done 5 laps. Looking forward to the event as I'm already ahead of Jonzo and he's done 10x as many laps as me so I can only get better from there (assuming I make it past lap 1 without sending myself into the kitty litter) P.S. Thanks for sharing your setup Jeff!

Had a decent lap this evening after lots of crashing Slowly getting the hang of heel and toeing, though it makes driving consistent laps abit tricky. And for some reason I wasn't able to download your setup Jeff. Whenever I try to load it just doesn't to anything. May need to update my ptracker or something me thinks

I don't really see his post implying that. You can use any type of shifter for these cars, but I don't think you can switch between sessions. I also don't see any type being an advantage, the leader of the timings has H pattern, next one uses something else and I am using the paddles. People without any info aren't using stracker I think.

Whenever I try to load it just doesn't to anything. May need to update my ptracker or something me thinks I haven't updated in ages, but I sometimes have that issue with the setupmarket, when it just doesn't want to download certain setups. No idea what causes it, but I think a rejoin often works, so maybe it works tonight .

Personally I think that the only advantage comes when driving cars that are more similar to what you normally drive (if, like me, you force yourself to use the authentic controls for each car). I like manual classics with no aids in real life so always perform better in them. Stuff where heal/toeing is a requirement is a massive boost to me as I have to do that anyway in one of my road cars Flappy paddles on the otherhand are a major annoyance as I always feel less in control.. That said unless autoblip is enabled for paddles/auto I can't see anyway for those methods to be as fast in the 25's consistently.
