A funny thing happend to me this evening.
I was practicing on a track that i'm testing on last couple of days trying to create a perfect setup for this track. So i was tuning and tweaking spring, camber pressures all kinds of stuff , and my laptimes got better and better, so i though i'm doing a good job here. Reading articles on this forum about tire temps and stuff , made me tune some more, i read that temps should be 10 degrees between inner and outer temp , where i was aiming on 5 degrees , so i try the 10 degrees and yeah better times . So i think i'm doing a good job here. Steering lock matters alot and steeringwheel sensitivity , tuning that too , yeah better times , you know what i though1 .... yeah good job .
Then i wanted to compare the super turbo woowsers setup i created with the crappy default to show that it matters alot to take time to create this setup....
So i load the default , gues what happend ... drove the best time yet ...
So ... what did i learn here, well i thought i was creating a better and better setup and because of that i was improving my laptimes, but what i actualy did was driving the track so often, that i became better and better at the track, no matter what setup.
i had saved a couple of setups , and drove within a sec with all of them. Ok i choose one that my time eventualy was best with... and it was btw with a inner outer temp differnce of about 7 degrees on front tires and 5 on rear.
What i also found out is that i did really became alot quicker when setting my steering wheel sensitivity on the right setting ... so for the guy's who seem to keep struggling getting those times better , maybe it's wise to have a look at how far do you actualy turn your wheel and do you use the max you wheels CAN turn when in the car ... i found lots of seconds there.
But the part where i loaded the default and drove the best time after all this effort on a setup , i found really funny hehe .
After all this i felt like sharing this with ya all :thumb:
