I understand the theory, but dont always see the effect on track. Unless i know the track theres no point doing much to a set up,
Ive looked at other setups from RD and some dont make any sense at all to me, i drive the car to look at how the tyres heat up and after 6 laps i just dont see it. So i tried some in time trail and the setups are very good compared to a default setup.
Ive been tampering with the Volvo p1800 on Curitiba from the Retro Dlc on my pc and my driving style its a very tail happy car when comming out of slow corners and loves to drift on the longer cornes. I now have a loverly handling Volvo that i can drive out of slow corners and drive through the long corners (less sideways) i have more stable tyre readings and have reduced the tyre wear if my reading are correct
Still very unsure about toe in/out on RWD cars, i seem to be able to go to the max on the front -100 and +100 on the rear and dont seem to see much difference in the lap times ( as it says in most "setup guides")and dont notice much difference in handling)
Tyres,Caster and Camber seem to make the biggest difference as it all does, But i think ive still got to learn the track, Iknow where im going and know where to brake, but thats only the half of it,
You can have the best setup in the world, but if you keep crashing or going off its a waiste of time, if the car in front is alot faster than me and i try to follow at his speed ,the chances of me crashing go up (drive to my limits or the cars, not to the guy in front)
you can always watch his lines on a replay later....

Love this comment "Remember that the largest variant is the driver. Period. A good driver can drive very effective in bad cars. A bad driver can mess up very good and forgiving cars. Blame yourself for handling problems before you blame the car and go to changing it's setup. When you do make changes, make them small -- one small step at a time. Make a step -- check the outcome, than decide whether to make another change."
