Basic setup guide for Race series

[Keith Barrick]

This is a basic setup guide I put together for those looking to keep car setup simple.

Ive used followed this for years and hasnt steered me wrong.

Hope this helps anyone struggling with car setup

... and the everlasting question, what is the right temperature for a tire? How much does that wary in classes? Just the teoretical ideal temp (inner, mid, outer) so that we know what to try for. Also, is the higher temp much worse than lower?

Second, does one shift when the revs reach yellow, red or red with warning point?

Check this one.

About the revs. Most of the cars it's best to shift at Warning point. But some cars (most of them the American ones) is better to shift at when it turns red. Because those cars need it from the Torque. Because if you shift at the warning it's already over his max power. So it's better to shift to next gear because you get the torque again.

"+ negative camber" might be better put "more negative camber" to avoid confusion. Plus negative camber could otherwise be interpreted as less negative camber.

Try not going over 100 degrees. Inner temp should not be more than 8-10 degrees higher than outer temp. Mid temp should be in between. Inflate/deflate and adjust camber for temp distribution. Increase/decrease springs for overall higher/lower maxtemp.
