The thing is with Tim, he is way too fast for me even on default setup. I think he just keep cliking the buttons up and down, and when he start to see the future in the numbers, he just stops and share his setup
I tried most of his setups, and i can't even get close to his times (probably he is posting fake setups to slow down everyone else )

I wondered if my setups actually made me faster before because I can come close to my PB's with the default setups. I guess what it comes down to is my setups give me some predictability for the way I drive. It really is very personal, and I'm starting to realize my setups really don't help many

However, I feel this setup for the Camaro is a real improvement from default. I couldn't totally get rid of the understeer and I had to adjust my driving style...brake a little deeper, and turn in a lot sooner, for example, but I thought more ppl would like this setup. but maybe not. either way, its cool

oh and that decoy setup idea sounds like a delightfully evil plan might have to use it come league time

Here is a Multiplayer race with that Setup:

This setup isn't that different then default. I'm sorry, i haven't found a magic setup, but I find I can be consistent with this one. if you don't like it, you can still start your own setup using my gears, brake or diff settings and go from there.

I have a 2.10.0xx with this setup but I average in the high 2.10's/low 2.11's. so this leaderboard time, like a few of my others, is a lucky lap. somewhere in that lap I messed up and saved it and managed to be faster.

You'll notice the brake balance is 55/45. I use that going up the mountain. When I get to the top, I change it to 60/40 for going downhill. Then back to 55/45 after turn 1. If you don't want to change on the fly, I suggest somewhere in between(57/43 maybe). the steering range/lock is 540/22.

wouldn't it make more sense to lower front brake bias while driving downhill and increase when going up?
as your front tyres will provide more grip while driving uphill under braking and less downhill, right?!

 

[Jimmy Cliff]

badass driving mate as well as badass cutting turn 10 .
you can avoid that and stay on the throttle when you use the outer curbs after turn 9 to turn your car into turn 10... works pretty well but needs some practice and of course some balls .
it even might be quicker as you will have a better corner out speed for the downhill straight.

You're, surprisingly, the 1st one to mention this. I thought i was gonna be crucified when I posted it. I'm not proud of that and I will make it right. This is the 1st setup I posted and it was the 1st time I felt like I discovered a good setup. I wanted to get it out there, but I wanted to be honest about how I got my time. Always meant to return and beat that lap, but I kept putting it off cuz I thought nobody cared.

 

[Tim Cannon]

Not from my experience. The rear gets light when braking going downhill(lighter then going uphill or on flats) and can lock up easier then braking uphill. That's the way it feels to me.

 

[Jimmy Cliff]

i did not want you to justify your driving or anything like that .
tbh i did and do cut that corner in 30 to 50% of all cases, because i find it pretty hard to catch it properly and it does not always work out for me.

 

[Jimmy Cliff]

yeah i thought so too the moment i replied... especially within the chicanes downhill

I care, so fix it, lol. This is why I will never race Tim on this track, specially in the DTM92 cars, me and the Mercedes dont stand a chance

 

[Jimmy Cliff]

1.23.422 - two or three corners still have some potential

 

[Jozsef Veverka]

Thanks for sharing m8

Thanks for sharing buddy!

Chasing your ghost all day, I noticed that you were using default gears on your #1 ranked lap. So I switched to default gears, but other than that I used your above setup. It's helping a lot! I did change the diff power from 30 to 50 to try and help me catch up to you going uphill, but it wasn't enough - you're a beast going uphill!

I tried to fix it, but I made it worse got down to 1.23.314 but I cut the corner again. Idiot! I shouldn't have finished that lap. Now I need a 1.23.2 to make it right. I vow to fix it.

Thank you, James, for allowing me to have this car and track. You can have the rest...oh wait, you already do

Edit: I tweaked the setup and got a new time. see OP for video and setup. I hope this meets your standards, Mr Nance
