I've been in constant compromise mode with my 7th gear ratio.
I cannot make it too short, because then i suffer in qualifying, and will struggle to overtake in the race with DRS.
And i cant make it too long because then i just cant accelerate fast enough in 7th without DRS and only end up getting to about 280kph on the main straight, and the AI will eat me for breakfast.
It's been bothering me because in real life, and in F1 2011, you can get up to 300kph easily (depending on the track) without the aid of DRS. But in F1 2012, it seems that on most of the tracks, (minus Spa, Monza) i cant get anywhere near 300kph without my DRS.
So i tried changing the Aero of the car, and that helped some. But it gets to the point where you've moved the rear and front wings as far left (1/1) as possible, and then you can go faster in a straight line, but you then can't take corners too well because you've got next to no aerodynamic grip.
I cannot find any decent middle ground. And i've been testing my setups for quite some time.
