Any setups available guys? Or some advice...having real problems round the slower uphill sections

 

[Carlos Diaz]

As soon as I get up in the morning, I will post my setups.

Are you having trouble with the TVR or the Elite?

If it's the TVR, then try this...

Set your differential to 10% Power and 90% coast.
Set your final drive to one click above the shortest gearing.

You don't need to downshift into 2nd at all. Do most of your braking in 4th and then shift down to 3rd when the engine revs are low enough that it won't upset your car when you downshift. It will seem like you are going slower but in fact it will be faster.

At least that's what works for me, but there are many ways to skin a cat.

 

[Tim Ling]

Thanks Carlos, I'll try it.

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Just a question Tim, are you having issues under braking or under acceleration?
