Max, NFSW, please turn up and wipe that smug grin of satisfaction from his face
at least make him work for it
Oh don't worry, I fully expect at least one of those 2 to knock me off the top of the table before Weds - Jeff too if he joins us - despite my slightly riskier setup.
Bob:
My tips for these are that they are lethal on cold tires, and become dodgy when you are more/less than 2 psi from optimum too.
Give it at least 2 laps before deciding what to adjust your pressures to, and remamber that the pressure change will directly affect temps also so ignore those until the pressures seem right. (here at Suzuka your left side will still be cold/underpressured entering T1 on the 2nd lap).
Remove camber, this will have some effect on stability and the cars are running far more than they actually need.
Softer springs and stiff ARBs seem to be a good speed/stability compromise, you'll want to play with the shocks to suit though.
You can also raise the nose relative to the rear to increase stability in and out of turns.
If I remember right, both the ride height and suspension travel values are tiny in the stock setup - this isn't a big issue here (see 2 posts ago) it is worth remembering if any of the remaining rounds have big kerbs though.
Even with 0 wing on the front the cars need 7 or 8 on the back. At 7 rear they're getting sketchy, lower gets very interesting. very fast
If the car's snapping on lift off/turn in then an easy fix for the high speed corners is to add rear wing, you'll need to move the rear toe out though to maintain turn under power out of corners - which naturally makes the car more skittish in the slow stuff, especially as you should really raise rear spring force to compensate at high speed.
Finally, as this is a toy car (modern) the ABS and Traction control are the key to going fast, play with them until you're happy and don't be afraid to give the car full beans mid turn
once it's settled.
*edit* also be sure to practice on the server - conditions are normally warmer (faster and easier) than default AC when you're off line.
