Ford Escort RS1600 @ Brands Hatch GP

[Roni]

This is really fun combination. I am pretty bad to make good setups. Specially for this car it is pretty hard because this is so tricky to drive. Constant lap times are pretty hard to do. Also little changes to setup makes such a big changes for driveability. Thats why I have big broblems to make a good setup. Hope that somebody has a fast setup and can give it to us?

Here is mine. I dropped about 5 tenths compared to optimal splits, so 1m43.6 should be possible. WR on RSR is around 1m41.3, so still quite a gap!

Luckeh, thanks for that. I was going down in my air pressures trying to get more grip but going up is the way to go.

 

[Roni]

Thanks lukeh, it feels good. I change gear ratio to shortest.

 

[Luckeh]

Yes, shortest gear ratios is also what I did in the meantime. It hurts the ears on the straights though, but seems to be the fastest, also helps a lot in T1.
Also some minor changes to brake balance. 1m43.5 now, with again 0.5s to be gained with optimal splits.

This car is almost too loose. Or not to loose, it's too indirect rather. I would probably try to make the whole car as stiff as possible without going off track with tire temps. But have to try it. It's a pretty fun car though.

Will try your setups as a base and see what I think.
