Yes, which falls into what I said above... getting out of the habit of driving this car like a modern GT3. Even if you're not using a physical h-box, you still need to treat the car like it has one. In other words, you can't just slam your way through the gears with your foot flat to the floor. Or back down again with your foot planted on the brake. This is 1979 tech... a time when drivers were still drivers.Some goes for shifting up when not totally straight --> immediate spin if you don't lift the throttle

good set up merciI think the Procar actually handles pretty well for an oldie, it's just that it has no brakes. You have to hit the pedal at least 50m earlier than you're used to in order to have any hope of getting it stopped in time. Great fun once you get the hang of it, I'm even enjoying Lausitzring in this car which is a first! And on Watkins Glen it's an absolute joy.
I barely know what I'm doing with setups, but the attached seems to be working ok for me so far. Just thought I'd post it in case it helps anyone else get started, as this is quite a challenging car.
Just remember that getting the brakes and tyres up to temperature is even more important that usual in this one, as you literally can't stop if they're not! So expect to do at least 2-3 slow laps when you leave the pits before trying to push.
