hi all
yesterday it was so sad. After a start in troubles (on the straight somone overtakes me and put me on the gras) all was fine and i loved to have a nice race my company calls me to check an error on the system. So i have to drive on the gras and leave.
But one question beside: my car was setuped to be fast in the corners but this was slow overall. Would be someone so nice to give me his setup? Like @Eugene Abramoff @Jeff @Stig Bidstrup i was struggeling with the Escort to get it fast on the straights
thx

The key to be fast in straights with the ford escort isn't the setup because it doesn't have aerodynamics to adjust, is the corners. Try to adjust gear ratio for the track, be smooth on the corners and try to exit the corner without spin the wheels. Be gentil with the gas pedal and you will not lose speed to the straight. A tip for you is to use the delta app to know where you are loosing time, you will see if the corner exit is smooth you will gain time all the straight, and of course with times will appear with practice

Hope you can understand what I meant to say but my English is not the best

We had a short discussion about it on TS after the race. The key thing is to set the differential so that you don't lose the rear on corner entry and exit. Then basically your top speed on straights depends on how soon you can accelerate in the corner.
