Any questions about the sequence i would welcome, also i welcome any tips or advice from advanced racers.
 
Set-up Rules

Front Wing Rule: Highest setting possible but not to effect REAR BALANCE
Rear Wing Rule: Highest setting possible but not to effect TOP SPEED

Front Ride Height Rule: Lowest setting possible but not to effect PLANKING
Rear Ride Height Rule: Lowest setting possible but not to effect PLANKING

Front Springs Rule: Highest setting possible but not to effect GRIP
Rear Springs Rule: Lowest setting possible but not to effect PLANKING

Front Anti-Roll Bar Rule: Highest setting possible for good turn in STABILITY
Rear Anti-Roll Bar Rule: Lowest setting possible for corner exit TRACTION

Bias Rule: Increase front bias but not to LOCK UP front wheels on braking into slowest corner
 
Wet Set-up Alterations
Extreme Wet
Increase Wings 50%
Soften Springs 50%
Lengthen Gears 50%
Full Wet Tyres

Intermediate Wet
Increase Wings 25%
Soften Springs 25%
Lenghten Gears 25%
Intermediate Tyres
 
Hi mate i was getting confused in Camber and Toe settings and also for the Suspension settings i don't understand How to go fast on the track as i was struggling to get the Pace all the time

Let me explain about my driving:
I will always drive fast and also i like to brake later /Optimal distance but i use max break pressure
Due to my driving i was cutting corners some times like tracks in Melbourne Singapore Malaysia etc
So i request you to help me if you need any more things ask me i will let you the details but i really want to get my very own setup
So i request you to help me
 
ALIGNMENT

Front Camber
Positive
Increase ACCELERATION / Decrease corner STABILITY

Negative (left)
Increase corner STABILITY / Decrease ACCELERATION
Rear Camber
Positive
Increase TRACTION out of slow corners / Decrease corner STABILITY

Negative
Increase corner STABILITY / Decrease TRACTION out of slow corners

Front Toe
In (right)
Increase straight line STABILITY / DecreaseSPEED

Out (left)
Increase TYRE WEAR / IncreaseRESPONSE
Rear Toe
In
Increase TYRE WEAR

Out
Increase TYRE WEAR / IncreaseSTABILTYon acceleration
 
SUSPENSION

Front Ride Height
Higher
Decrease GRIP

Lower
Increase GRIP / Reduce corner entryUNDERSTEER
Rear Ride Height
Higher
Decrease GRIP / Reduce exitUNDERSTEER

Lower
Increase GRIP / Reduce exitOVERSTEER

Front Springs
Stiffen
Increase RESPONSE / DecreasecorneringGRIP / IncreaseUNDERSTEER / IncreaseTRACTION / IncreaseTYRE WEAR
Reduce entry OVERSTEER / Reduce mid UNDERSTEER

Soften
Increase GRIP / DecreaseRESPONSE / Decrease TRACTION / Decrease TYRE WEAR
Rear Springs
Stiffen
Increase RESPONSE / DecreaseGRIP / Reduce exitUNDERSTEER

Soften
Increase GRIP / DecreaseRESPONSE / Reduce exitOVERSTEER

Hopefully this will help Kartik
 
Yes, stiffening front springs will give you better traction on corner turn-in, but also will increase apex understeer & tyre wear (need to find the compromise)

Soften Rear spring will give you more grip.

Warning: Decreasing grip at the front and increasing grip at the rear will not work as the car will swap ends under turn in and acceleration.

As always you need to find a balance with all the settings.
 
Dylan, steps 8-12, I would start with Wings set 6-6 and default gear ratio's. I would then reduce the rear wing (keeping the front level with rear) and increase gear ratios to get the car to reach its max top speed on the longest straight. eg: Wings set 6-6 and 7th gear set 189mph on a Virgin, I could get the car to reach 183mph on the long straight at melbourne. By reducing the wings to 1-1 and 7th gear to 192mph, I can get the car to reach 188mph. That is a 5mph increase. This would be my starting point. I would then set all the mechanical grip settings (springs,ride height,ARB's,camber & toe) using my above rules. Then during steps 44-50 I would try increasing the rear wing to see if my lap times are better. eg: By increasing rear wing i'd lose top speed but will gain cornering speed and maybe increase lap time. During setting mechanical grip you can also play with front wing, say having ratio of 3 front - 1 rear, but when increasing rear wing always keep the ratio the same as to keep the car balanced. eg: increase to 4 front - 2 rear.
 
I did a setup for my self and it was almost matching me to post quick lap times Now i can post low to med 1:26 with Force India in primes and Med to Low 1:25 in options in Melbourne in practice 1 &2 i will post the timings of the Qualy Sessions. I believe that with this setup i can keep a low to Med 1:24 with options
