[Minty1]

nice setups and viktor you have the best setups for Time Trial
but does you use this setup when is fuel and tyre sim on?

I just looked at my setup again and yes I use the exact same setup in races, except the Front ride hight which I set to 1 instead of 11 which I also said in the post.

Viktors setup is a fantastic setup for silverstone!! Thanks for sharing

 

[mac cord]

[Micha Rahimi]

that setup is even worse than the first setup given at the top
found i could't hit any apex in practice, to much understeer

 

[andrewcastro]

Thanks Viktor!! good setup for my lotus in first season, pro AI mode!!

 

[miniJAKE]

you must be playin on the lowest difficulty level to make that setup work for you and to win with that margin

no no bad set up this setup has terrible under steer

 

[TheDreamer]

I used that set up with HTR, I only got 8th for qulifing but within the first two laps i was able to take first and contiune on to win the race with a comftable lead.

+1 to Victor's set up. I'm still struggling with my corner timings so my times are only at 1:40:00 (dead last professional P1) but the car "feels right" so as soon as I learn the track I expect (pray) that my times come down. *edit* After 30 more laps I've gotten the time down to 1:36:90. That's good enough for 13th in Practice 2 and on par with my team objectives.

 

[Patryk Krutyj]

It's great setup. I did 1:27:4xx with McLaren.

 

[Scann311]

Worst setup ever! Sorry if offended! Made my redbull handle like a modle t 5-window

 

[DIESL]

great setup victor, thanks for that one

 

[darkmartin1909]

TC159 is also a cheater Victor???...why only you is a fair pilot and the other are cheaters?? can you explain me your point please???

 

[Dominique]

I'm in 1st year in career mode with Force India. I have tried all the setups found in this thread, but anyone halp me. Only with greasemonkey774's setup I can drive without offroad

With the default versatile quick setup I have the car stable and I can set the curves right, but lap time is very high.

Is only a problem of learn the circuit? I have good time in the previuos tracks: Montreal and Valencia, but Silverstone is very difficult to me.

I'm using pad.

Have you some suggestion?

 

[Mark Noble]

used stuart malaske setup with lotus just have corner lines on no other assists and got a 1.33.9 on primes,great setup for lotus mate!thanks for all your effort!almost forgot,this was in gp mode,q3!

 

[rikstation]

i guys, wake up, the time online in gp with fuel and use tyres is 1.27.126 (f1teamsimulation.com).

I'm using the Lotus in career mode, 1st year, expert/legendary and I don't understand how you guys run 1/1 downforce settings on Silverstone. With those settings, I have to CRAWL through Copse (turn 1) and brake for the 2nd part of Becketts. As a side note, not that I have driven Silverstone in real life, but it seems the developers completely screwed up the exit of Becketts. Watching onboard videos, the exit is much quicker than it is in the game.

I was able to qualify P2 because I went out early on intermediates in Q3, and the times got slower as the session progressed. Starting P2, I was leading the race on options and I pitted on lap 7 to avoid the pit lane bug. I came out in 20th, disposed of a few backmarkers, and ended up in 5th after everything was sorted out. For the rest of the race (I do 50% distance), nobody was anywhere near me, so I set the engine to cruise and as I crossed the line for the white flag, I got another puncture (I've had 5 race punctures already this season). Ended up nursing the car home to finish in 8th.

I've noticed Catalunya and Silverstone to be extremely difficult to keep up with the AI. I was on pole in Turkey and Canada, then won in Valencia. And suddenly, I'm 2 seconds off pace at Silverstone. I believe my quickest lap was a 33.7 late in the race on the primes. Very difficult to find a set up here and I'm probably losing a bunch of time in the new section.

I second this. I finally figured out Catalunya and won it, but I am having terrible luck at Silverstone. I simply can't seem to do any good in practice. I think the problem (that I am having at least) is that practice starts out with moderately heavy rain, then tapers off and leaves a partially wet track for a while, then finally starts to dry off, and then as soon as it is almost dry, it starts to rain a little again. Usually if it starts out raining and ends up dry, I just fast forward time till the track is dry, but that does not seem to be the case here. It does not work.

The strange part about all of this is that the driving lines stay the wettest, but I would think that the heat of the cars would dry those areas out first, but it seems that they are leaving it wet. How odd.

At this point I am in my first season Lotus, make fun of me, but I am on auto pilot (I use all of the aids until I figure out what I am doing). I plan on moving up in difficulty as the seasons progress. At this point in the season, I have 203 points, so I have won most of the races: Shanghai, Catalunya, Istanbul, Montreal and Valencia that I know of off the top of my head. I came in second in Kaula Lumpur and fifth at Monaco. I am not sure about the others, as I just recently started keeping decent records. I know these are out of order, but I put them in order of wins for simplicity sake. I am at 100% in Dirt 2, but this is the wrong section for that.

I tried different setups, and figured them out (almost always using a suggestion from RD), and tweaking them to my liking a little more. As for this race however, I am having no luck whatsoever. Another thing is that my front tires seem to be scrubbing more than turning on this track, no matter how I set the car up. I am using a Thrustmaster RGT Force Feedback wheel with clutch (not that I use it for F1).

It appears to me that I cannot drive this smoothly, at least not consistently. Perhaps I should just skip practice and see if qualifying conditions are any better. At least I would have an engine at 100%.

I figured it out. I finished practice 7th, qualified third and went on to win the race. I don't know if it was premature or not, but I went ahead and accepted the $6,500,000 First Driver Position with Lotus for next year. I will then move up in difficulty season by season, using less and less aids as I go along. I figured it would be better to get as many points and as good a reputation as I can my first year, as to not be overlooked. I am at 228 points for the season so far, so I am feeling pretty smug right now.
