Doesn't matter. Either post your setup or mention which one you've used. Anything else: don't bother to post.

He's been posting like that in most of the setup threads..

And I hope this will help since, contrary to popular belief, I hate to take action against people.

ben3072, post the car you drove with next time, even tho it’s obvious it was a McLaren now.

Well, I’ve made more than 105 laps on this track just to test all these setups…

I've used Kartik Sri Harsha setup in a 100% quick race with Alonso just to test tyre wear: be aware, if you use the setup as is option tyres, medium, will last approximately 14 laps instead of 17; prime, hard, up to 20, maximum 21 laps instead of 22. So, you might want to make one extra stop or use prime tyres twice instead of once.
On Marussia in career I qualified 19th, ahead of Caterhams, with a time of 1:42.837, Kovalainen, 20th, made 1:43.491, more than one second slower than me. Glock was 23rd with 1:44.481. Excellent setup.

Ya Mate,
I made This on TT so it may be a tire eater. Also the AI was pitting twice any way so i didn't gave much important to tire wear and which setup you used for Marussia??

 

[Gianluigi Migliozzi]

I used your setup as is. The race went fine, I'm sure I finished ahead of Glock, Caterhams and HRTs but I can't really remember the exact result.

Really good setup thanks. Didn't use a McLaren for it though, used the Marussia team because I am in Career. If you could find a Marussia setup for this track then thanks. Until then I am using yours. Doesn't do well in the consecutive corners though in sector 1 after the first corner. But I was using Marussia so it's fine.

 

[Stiker]

Would be cool to know how my setup feels on The Circuit of Americas.

Also after doing some online racing today, and encountering the usual bashers, I was making up setups on the fly, and most of the time I felt comfortable with it.
I have a good idea on some setups for certain tracks already, its just a matter of time, it takes quite a lot of hours til I am happy with a particular setup.

Just a word of advice really on setups, I feel at the moment that most of the setups are similar to 2011, except for the Wing downforce levels.

In F1 2010, setups preferred 11-1, 10-1, 2-1 etc.
In F1 2011, I mostly kept wings to the same values, 11-11, 7-7, 5-5, with some exceptions, and even then it was only one number difference (9-8 for example).

This is just a hunch from messing around on online mode, but I felt wings like 11-6, 11-4, 11-3, 9-3 and 6-1 to be working well for me. Having the rear wing too high is unnecessary it seems, as the rear is usually pretty stable, its the front end which is a lot more unstable this year. If i had to guess, I would do a 4-1 or 5-1 around Monza.

Like you see above, I used an 11-3 in Austin. I originally tried 6-6, 7-7, 11-11, and I was getting so much quicker in corners but losing speed down the straights, so I thought.. What about 11-1? It worked pretty well at first, but I felt I could do better, so I tried 11-3. I could do 1:36-1:37s with 11-1, but 11-3 got me into the 1:35s

hmmm, I have always thought the rear wing value should be higher than the front wing to have a stable car...

also any advice with tc, decided to race on 2012 w/o assists, manual gears took a while, but I am ok now, tc how eva is kiiling me, I loose like 2-3 secs per lap w/o tc...
on previous games, I used to start with auto gears and tc... and always managed to match my team mate on legend, but now, I am 2-3 secs down with no assists...

any help is appreciated
