Good setup
Great setup did a 144:677 on prime with TORO ROSSO 141: 213 on option good stuff Mr. Webber
Good setup managed 1:37.847
I've noticed that as long as you apply enough pressure when breaking you can downshift fast, sometimes i did it too fast for the breaks and i saw a smoke behind the car (i was on Q1) but the engine didn't blew.

This setup is enough to fight for 14-18º place with marussia in legend AI.
Having lots of fun trying to make the most of this car.
Im sure thats a little room for improvement, but for now im happy with this number.
im sticking to a standart brake size because thats what i have in the carreer at the moment, maybe you can improve a little there.
EDIT: changed roll bar and improved the time. Already changed it.

Good setup, managed 1:37:835 with redbull.
if this setup works it must be a bug. balance 1, ride height 1 and springs 1. this should be impossible to ride (theoretically) the car must bottom out like hell.
offcourse thank you for placing your setup here, don't get me wrong.
yes i was a little surprised too that worked pollie. But like i said in the melbourne setup, Marussia and HTR you need to go a little against the commom sense.
The setup of F1 2012 also is very simplified so this helps a little making a crazy setup to work.
A marussia top speed is around 280-290km without DRS and that you will only get in the final straight. You also don´t have kers.
HTR excluded, any other car in the game can make 300km or more in the same conditions, and they have Kers to add even more speed. Also doing the same setup with a mclaren i see those cars also have a better grip.
This create a problem, The car win against you in corners and straights, so you need to be competitive at least in some parts of the track if you hope to hold them.
The car will be a challenge to keep on the track as your tyre lose grip. So i recommend anyone using this in a race to change tyres before they reach the limit. Also the corner at the end of S2 is a dangerous one with this setup. You will lose time but you make up for it in all other parts of the track.
I did the time with a mc laren, just kers, no DRS. Around 1:37. Using DRS i think i would go down to 1:35 / 1:34 but the setup was really not that good for a mclaren, just a a good starting point.
Im going to try to make the setup for marussia a little better.
EDIT: I tryed again changing the suspension, even a 2/2 increase in stiffness and you start losing 0.3 to 0.5s in a lap.
But i put back the anti-rool bar to 6/6 and improved the time by 0.6s, too much to be only driving style, also did a try for 3/3, 8/8 and even 4/6 but both made me lose time, very little, so little i dont know if its the configuration or driving style but it was there.
wings again, any change and you lose time. As they only work in fast corners (S2). In S3 you lose all the time you win in S2.

hi,tried this and was faster than the set up (my husband plays) my hubbie had. his time was a 1:37:0, he got a 1:36:886. he cant improve the time now(?????)! thank u
I'm glad it was helpfulhi,tried this and was faster than the set up (my husband plays) my hubbie had. his time was a 1:37:0, he got a 1:36:886. he cant improve the time now(?????)! thank u
. He should compare his sector times with mine and see where he loses time in order to improve.

I used to love this track, it was challenging but doable... Not anymore!
What has Codemasters done to Kuala Lumpur?? In a game that I have been enjoying so much, this circuit is the worst I have drove on so far.
The first sector is horrendous, especially turn two. You go into turn 2, and half of the time you're guaranteed to get super oversteer, unless you slow down to gear 1 and literally crawl through the corner....
Looking at other ghosts, they somehow manage to find super grip through there, no twitches or anything, how????
Sector 1 is probably where I am lacking the most in time, but its the same for other sectors too. The twisty turner nature of sector 2 is tougher then previous years, and the Hairpin is harder to get round too without either 1) oversteering or 2) ending up on the grass. Sector 3 seems to be the easiest, which is amazing to me, because in previous years, that famous blind right hander before the back straight was always my bad spot on the track, whereas this year you can quite easily drive over the inside curb without much bother.
Seriously, I have spent so many hours on this track, at least 6 hours trying over and over with all kinds of different setups, and this was the best I could do. Hopefully one day I will find that perfect setup to make this track a joy to ride around again.
Until then, I hope this setup helps you a little bit, to even keep the car on the track without the super oversteer. Good luck to all who dare try Kuala Lumpur on 2012.
EDIT: Finding better ways to get through turn 2, I managed to post a slightly faster time. The ride height has been changed, that is all.

I go a bit wide in turn 2 in order to open up turn 3 and have better traction.( See how Alonso passed Perez in the race). At the hairpin I try to avoid the kerb cuz I lose traction with wheelspin so I take it as gently as possible. Sector 3 seems ok although last corner is tricky either you lose or gain a lot of time.
Wow, 11/11-11/11 suspension ;D. I'll try and build one tomorrow, and give feedback and stuff
Yes .. I tried it so many times. Australia and Austin I had nowhere near as much trouble as Malaysia. And I usually prefer Malaysia to those circuits, on previous games I was quite smooth around it. I found the onky way to beat my time was to put the ride height at the highest, it really helps as the track has a lot of annoying bumps, curbs, and hilly sections.
Its pretty frustrating for me round turn 2. After dozens of attempts at getting it right I either
1) Go on the actual racing line, fighting to make sure I don't oversteer, then it does.
2) I brake a lot more then I did in previous games, just to make sure I get round it, can easily lose a few tenths that way.
3) I just happen to hit the sweet spot, even then its still slow compared to one of the top Ghost cars. He must have got the perfect launch through there, and he used the racing line.
Not sure if its an issue with me, my setup, the track itself, or a mix of all three,
