Season 10 Race 4 Melbourne Setup Thread

David Turnbull · Mar 9, 2013

i'll start us off with this hotlap vid..... its my pb so far after the one practise session, a few mistakes and can go a higher gear in a few corners but its a start........

heres my first setup too, its based on the nurburgring setup with some small changes, could even use lower wings yet i started high and will work down, i'll update this post as i practise more.

*NEW*

made some improvements to my lap and setup, new pb of 1.37.1, here they are for anyone wanting to have a look...

**LATEST**

new pb 1.36.8 using the same setup 2 posted.

I'll have to say... You look like an artist around that track. Ok, i'm a little emotional after opening night party (= drunk) but the lines i see are so spot on that it's like art.

David Turnbull · Mar 9, 2013

well thanks very much kennett

im off to cut my left ear off

Steeve Fournier · Mar 9, 2013

Here is my hotlap video and my setup. A bit slower than David but for me its really good. Like David, its almost the same setups as Nurburgring.

Peter Marshall · Mar 10, 2013

My setup...
Likewise to David, I started with my Nurburgring's setup. could not get into the 37's though...

Wings are 21 /28. I like to get use to a car with a little understeer for the High speed S; in case of rain...
I 'felt' as though i needed to add front and rear toe to keep the car running straight down the start-finish straight; I had the wobbles. It seemed to work.

Jim Hawley · Mar 10, 2013

Here's my setup so far, it's a slightly reworked setup from season 3, it's very easy to drive fast with it...., low 38s with ease... have fun

I did a 1.37.613 with it this afternoon, I'm almost as good as I was 4 years ago (+.01), you know they say "nothings as good as it used to be", I'm no exception

useful tips along the video David

Valerio Vinassa · Mar 12, 2013

my small contribution and thanks to all who post their setup & video

I did at home a stint:
20 cars
start in last place
98%AI so I can do some overtaking

dry race
33mins.
19laps
4,6lit. for lap
92lit. for stint (second stint 88lit think enough )
wear tires FL 80% FR 84% RL 84 % RR 84 %
step 1:43 1:44
my drive style: brake too late, gears too low, big oversteer

are years that i work around this, few improvement but big knowledge of the problem

.

Nicolas Rouge · Mar 12, 2013

I also tested with the AI at 110%. It was too fast for me, but I noticed that the AI was very good on this track, more than usual. Maybe a good way to practice the first laps battle...

Reik Major · Mar 14, 2013

A big "Thank You!" to everyone who posts setups, videos and useful information! Especially to David who's setup is very, very helpful for me

.

Yesterday night I had my first ever run with the F3000 at Melbourne and again I had to learn that I'm not able yet to convert a good F3000 setup from one track to another. So after a waste of time with adjusting own setups I finally took Davids setup and with very tiny adjustments I was able to drive a 1:37:5xx, which seems to be my limit. So thank you again mate!

David Turnbull · Mar 14, 2013

we went for nearly 5 seasons using setups and videos you made to help and further our skills with mmg, its good to be able to give something back that helps you

Sean Greenlaw · Mar 14, 2013

Im same lol Reik ive went from urs to Davids im sure they should work just as good for you as me and David used to just use yours as he says for mmg

Maybe i can repay in future with some rf2 setups

David Turnbull · Mar 14, 2013

guys before we get to the stage of calling me Sir David

id like to thank marko and helder for the setups they first made at istanbull and silverstone as they set the base for whats come after, its been an evolution of a good base setup since so most thanks should goto both those guys for their contributions, theres a long way to go in the season though and i'll continue to share vids and setups that will hopefully help people, ive grown to enjoy driving and racing f3000 so will be doing quite a bit of practise.

Its good to hear you say that David

. I'm relatively new to this game, and at my 1st touch with F3000 i fell in love. Later tried the MMG and like it too, but never as much as the F3000. Now to hear a thing like that from a guy who at 1st didn't want a slower car, it makes me think there's a reason why i prefered F3000.

I will keep posting videos of "decent" laps and my setups. I don't know why but with David's setup i can't get close to my PB compare to mine.... Must be different driving styles.

Helder Filipe · Mar 14, 2013

Yeah nice to hear David, we all need and want a strong David Turnbull a strong Sean Greenlaw a strong Reik Major, to have a even more competition, at the top, the champ need all of us on top form

and all the others at good level!

We did the 3 first rounds and the champ is now in a regular stage of the season next five rounds for sure we'll have some decisions for the title battle. (=
Really looking forward for what we will have in next future

i believe more than 2 in top fighting for the champ at the last rounds, i can say me and Marko have a good launch a good start of the season but like i said hoping really for the next few rounds to have more certainty, and i believe a fight with more than, one on one.

Let's go for it!

Helder Filipe · Mar 15, 2013

My Melbourne setup by now, nothing very worked really some changes from Silverstone, but not so different.

Richard Hill · Mar 18, 2013

I was wondering if I could have some advice. I don't know why but I seem to be have too much under steer all the time. Just wondering what I could try to gain confidence with the steering and corner speed. It seams more apex speed as initial turn in seams good and exit speed seems slow cause of apex speed. I have watched the vids people have put up but can't seem to get the nose where I want it. I'm new to a wheel which could be the reason I just don't know. I'm really looking forward to this race tho I seem to be closer but still not fast enough for competing with you guys lol. Sorry if this is amaturish question still learning this car.

David Turnbull · Mar 18, 2013

what wheel do you use richard?

what steering degrees do you use? and ingame steering lock?

Richard Hill · Mar 18, 2013

I have a g27 and its set to 200 degrees of rotation and in game 16 degrees lock. Have wondered if it could be my wheel settings. its my first wheel that i have bought and still learning how thimgs work

David Turnbull · Mar 18, 2013

i use the g25 and have logitech profiler set to 270 degrees steering, and ingame i use 16 lock, you could stay with 200 degrees but then id lower steering lock ingame to around 12, try 270 with 16 though and give it some time to get used to turning more.
