I asked because I tried editing your Q1-philbase setup above and AC indicated the setup was invalid. Checked height, all 4 were at 0.No. Why?

holy ****, 5mm cost 0.5s?!We already explained that. With 0-0 height :
If you start the car in the middle of the track in hotlap mode it is illegal.
If you start the car in the pits in hotlap mode it is ok.
If you are in multiplayer most pit stalls are ok, but you might be unlucky and need to raise 1mm.
If you add fuel or lower tyre pressure it will be illegal.
This all has to do with how Assetto calculates ride height for the validation. They know it is problematic and they are talking about maybe fixing it. If do not want to deal with that raise the car 5 mm and that's it.The setup will be about 5 tenths slower.

I see, thanks, I didn't know that. Is there a thread on that? Have some clarifications, like where do you start in the middle of the track, as it seems to start always from pits. What about practice mode, or offline race? Or turning on blankets?
There's many hotlaps on youtube. Though, granted they are from before 1.2, many even from before 1.0, when times were like... 2 seconds faster than they are now. But still, here's a really fast one. The thing I really notice is that they don't seem to drive any faster than me. Just that little but more tighter, and it nets them up to 4 seconds. it's just stupid how much time you can gain from a perfect line....I've been playing a bit with this car and the bmw m3 gt2 recently at spa. Noticed my previous setups sucked with the updated software. Made new ones and contrary to befare I am now faster with the Ferrari than the bmw.
I got down to 2,18,5 with the ferrari and a second slower with the bmw. My best in previous versions was 2.17 with the bmw.
My impression is that you really (I) need to put in alot of laps and you can gain much more than you think by perfecting every corner.
But I would still be really interested to see a lap with the ferrari at spa from cockpit view that is really fast, like 2,15. I cant really understand 3 whole seconds faster is possible, or how rather.
It's interesting in the fastest lobbys like ALOOG that sometimes have the really fast players, it seems no matter how perfect I get a corner those peoplle just seem to run much faster cars. Almost makes me think there are some setup tweak that makes a huge difference.
Well, I don't know about your driving, obviously, so this applies only to me. but hey, it might help you even a bit, so why not post it. Oh, this might be useful, to put my ramblings in perspective; I'm not a good driver: I can do maybe 2:17's if I try really hard and get lucky.I think this guys makes up big time on me in the first part of Fagnes. It's interesting that he doesnt have to change gears at campus and bruxelles, probable gains some time by that but not alot. Good gear ratios. Seems to have great grip, probably perfect gear ratio for 5:th gear at Pouhon, the car seems to really grip well.
But still, 2,14? Thats ALOT of time I am down.

Original setup had quite low camber, depends what you mean by quite a lot but as long as you stay between -3.0 and -3.5 front you are in the good range. Rear between -2.2 and -3.0. Beyond that you're hurting the grip.@PhilS13 hey mate. So i have a question. I was happily using your setup for the longest time. But since 1.2 it just had never felt right for me. and I was struggling with the times. Today I added quite a lot of camber, both front and rear, softened the rear arb and very slightly increased the rear packer rate. i immediately gained 2 seconds and feel sooo much more confidence in the car. I catch the line easier, i throttle out easier... it's just better for me.
Well, my question is this: you are a way better and more experienced driver than me. So obviously it stands to reason that your setup is very well thought out, and better than my chaotic tinkering. So do you think that my "easier" setup will just facilitate my poor technique and increase any mistakes I am making? Do you think I should stick with your harder to drive, more on edge setup? Would mastering that make me a better driver?
Thanks for your answer!
