Great setup, just did 1:23:770 in P1 with Red Bull, on PRIME tyre. I don't know why, but I can't push option tyre as much as prime! but still great setup. Thx Hammerhead91

Times set in P1 in grand prix mode with full simulation settings

Laps weren't perfect so as it is there's some time still to be found in the setup and gearbox settings need a little bit of refining. Not a bad starting point though.

I have found this set up works well online in the quick race mode but.......... I have noticed that in 'rear view' the Red Bull is bottoming out. Sparks flying out the back! Yet the Mclaren does not. Any reason for this? Seeing as all cars are supposed to be the same in this mode. Aint noticed any other cars doing this.
Doing a great job Kyle, anymore set ups coming?

 

[Kyle Dunning]

I have noticed the same thing soupdragon, The Red Bull also does it in time trial, I was doing the Nurburgring time trial lately in the Mercedes, I switched to the Red Bull and used the same setup and sparks were flying out of the back.

I have also determined it DOES matter which car you use in Time Trial, the Mercedes is a bit slower compared to the Red Bull, I tried using a Virgin car with the same setup and I was 3 seconds slower then my Red Bull time (The fact the car has no KERS and is does not react so well) which was quite shocking.

I assumed all cars in Time Trial would be the same, but they definitely are not, so I shall just stick to using the Red Bull from now on.

 

[moogleslam]

Yeah, the cars are only equal in Online (though even then weight and wheel bases are different). In TT, they are as different as they are in Career or GP.

I believe the Tiers are:

Tier 1: Red Bull, McLaren, Ferrari
Tier 2: Mercedes, Renault
Tier 3: Sauber, Torro Rosso
Tier 4: Force India, Williams
Tier 5: Lotus, Virgin, HRT

 

[ul_tima_tum]

tweaked kyles setup a bit here and there and got a 1.19.078, with lots of errors.
got me #32 on PS3 leaderboards.

i figured 11/11 setups are still faster than every other setup on most tracks, but now its 1 sec faster, pre patch it was 5 sec.

Did you change the aero? Kyle - your setup is a little slow on the straights.. You can better your setup with maybe a 9FW and 11RW.. You may even get away with a 8FW 9RW aero setup, it just makes the turns a little harder but still possible to be aggressive.

I think the Ferrari is more closer to Tier 2 than it is Tier 1

 

[Kyle Dunning]

I think I tried that already, I tend to use a ton of different wing settings, gear settings, suspension settings, camber settings, brake balance settings etc before I post a setup.

I could try it down the line, thanks for the tip, ill try it after I completed my 19 time trial setups first.

 

[nitropower]

Good setup, unstable for me though. You gotta be really smooth or you will lose the rear end.

 

[08rankinandrew]

Great set-up . On highest difficulty in a McLaren, I did a 1:22.639 in Practice 3 (on primes, fuel mix 2) and a 1:20.914 in Qualifying (on options, fuel mix 3). Next in Qualy was Alonso on a 1:23.778. Changed the set-up slightly, Brake Balance: F 52% - R 48%, Pressure: High and both Ride Heights: 1

Notes
Managed 1:26.895 (Q1). Similar setup to Spain for me, just 1 more tick of Front ARB and proper gearing. Hope you like it.

updated 29/12/2011: Added more downforce front and rear (was 5/6) to make the car more stable and faster through the fast corners in sector 1 and the fast chicane. Couldn't go any faster than with the previous setup but it was much easier to get times close to that and be consistent.

Worked really well for me please do setups for other tracks.
