Formula BMW @ Oulton - Setup Thread

[David Turnbull]

Heres my first setup after a few laps, feels good and stable so far, still alot of time to come though, hope its a start for someone

Oh this is a lovely track, also the cars behave much more to my liking then those usf2000s (damn Cooper tyres)

The ffb is very rumbly for me though? I have driven those cars already when they were released but can't remember if it had been like that.

Ye this is a better combo, also worth mentioning David noticed that lower psi better grip and tires get next to no wear so everyone should se these pressures I think #bridgestones. I went to 0.46 multi with these and usually wi fr3.5 about 0.7/8 I noticed quite vibration leaving pits.

Heres mine feels pretty but tire psi made biggest difference

For some reason, your Setup did not show up in the garage for me. I had to selector button from vehicle to All.

Maybe slight different cars ? I picked I think a 2005 model maybe there are differences between the years in performance terms also ?

They should all be the same from what I know.

So I am by no means an expert but something seems little off with this cars front tyre grip.
If they loose traction, understeer and then make a very hard steering input they sometimes regain 100% grip again immediately.
Do you guys thing this is normal for this car? I watched some onboards and it does indeed seem very glued to the track.
