Thanks for all the setups here.
I have not previously posted a setup mainly because I don't feel I am competitive enough for people to be interested in what I am using. However in keeping with Nicolai's post I will post my setup anyway.
I have tried several of the posted setups and worked mostly with the Nico-Anthony-132 setup posted by Anthony. Here is my adaption of it.
For me it is perhaps even more interesting to hear why people make the setup choices they make. Therefore these are the changes I have made and why. Of course these may be relevant at the comparitively low speeds that I am driving, but may not be necessary or relevant at the higher speeds the other guys are driving.
Also the changes were mainly made for driving in race trim. I mainly practice in race trim which to me is the most important. Hope I havent forgotten anything.
Normally I hate a car that doesnt turn in. Therefore I tend to prefer oversteer to understeer. In this case I noticed that the car had no understeer problems, when turning in, but that the tendency was to lose the back of the car. Since this was mainly in slow speed corners, both on entry and exit, I felt that I should make mainly suspension changes, but I also took a notch off the front wing.
The other problem I had was getting heat into the front medium tyres, particularly on the right tyre. I increased the antirollbar stiffness to try to help with this.
I changed ToeIn at the rear to ToeIn instead of ToeOut (negative ToeIn). I did this to go to a value that makes sense to me since I was not able to "make sense" of the short discussion we had about ToeIn earlier. Also there was no problem with getting heat in the rear tyres and a reduction of the toein should reduce rear tyre heating and tyre wear.
Finally Valerio's race-ending curb experience in the FPPS race was quickly matched by my own experience of hanging on the curbs in practice. Therefore I decided to raise the ride height. I gave up trying to raise it until I didn't hang when stopped on a curb, but rasing it 0.5cm to 2cm front and 3cm rear seems to greatly reduce the chance of getting stuck on the curb. It compromises performance, but I prefer to increase my chances of finishing the race.
Increased Front Spring - to give more understeer/less oversteer
Decreased Rear Spring - to give more understeer/less oversteer
Increased front antirollbar - to stiffen the car and give more understeer
Increased rear antirollbar - but not as much as the front, to stiffen the car
Reduced front wing (one notch) - to get aerodynamic balance
Change large Rear ToeOut to a smaller amount of ToeIn - reduce tyre wear and heat at rear.
Increased rideheight front 2.0 cm rear 3.0 cm.
Fuel: 80L Tyres: Medium
So far I am doing >1.38.2 with this setup.
