You did appear at the start Bill so I assume Steam sorted itself out for you.

These cars aren't really my cup of tea, too easy to lose and I can only catch it about 50% of the time. Then the tyres, I guess, are too hot and I just fall off at every corner  Roll Eyes

Yes but with about 3 minutes of qualifying to get settled down I didn't have any chance in race and stuffed my car into a barrier wrecking it on the first lap!

They do break away quite suddenly near the limit don't they.. I think this is one of those car groups that benefits more than others from some work on the setup, particularly on the dampers. I think I have the Cougar about where i want it, so I just tend to stick with that.

Had some fun early on, but Eck was too quick and consistent - congrats! Thanks all.

I always seem to find dropping the bump dampers a couple of clicks gains a bit more grip back. I always use TC to help stop the car sliding too much.

I don't know which dampers to reduce, is it rebound or the other one? Or both? I think I reduced rebound, softened the rear springs and reduced the rear ride height a couple of clicks. Can't say I noticed any difference. I always forget a car might have TC, no idea where that was set.

Depends what you want to achieve..

For me the Cougar handles actually really well, with good braking and turn in, and lots of mid-turn grip. It's only vice is that tendency to suddenly unload at the rear on corner exit. This could be countered by stiffening front rebound damping (a lot) and maybe also softening rear bump (a bit). You could also try softening rear springs and arb, but this may (or may not) blunt the turn in somewhat. I prefer just the damper changes, and also didn't really need any TC - although I did put it on level 2 (one click above zero) just for a little extra confidence.

That's all just my (probably worthless) opinion however - ymmv.
