as so far this is a setup for career and the above mentioned settings and setups are somewhat personal.
for the better cars tweaking wingsettings and raising the ride hight and tweaking the gears will do the trick

 

[Burak Cem Vural]

thanks for the setup.It's impressive.

 

[za1nex]

To what extent does the traction control assist affect the speed of the car?

 

[Eu-GenixX]

i seem to lose about a second per lap in sector 2.. maybe more.. (compared to AI car in career) i can't seem to figure out where i'm losing the time... anyone got some hints?

i am way faster in sector 1 and 3.. but lose heaps of time in sector 2

 

[wabbithunta]

Career season 2 with Ferrari.
Option and fuel real.
Great Q but bad race...
In Q 1:36....Red Bull and Alonso 1:36....so ok!
In race 1:41....Red Bull and Alonso 1:39....why???

The race runs you in "full tank" mode and it will add to your laptime, I found this out by "experience".I have a sneaking felling that the AI "penalises" you as it would appear that AI cars don't suffer from this "problem".
Also it could depend on your tyres too.. Grip levels etc from Qly3 session that is, as you use the tyres that you set your fastest lap too.
Also I try not to "overcook" my tires in Qly 3 and then you can get more out of them in the race. In general I find that I'm on a par with the other cars or even ahead by around 1-2 secs.. until the tyres give up that is.. then it's "Pit Time" and change them for fresh rubber.

 

[wabbithunta]

This is what I found through use, practice, racing etc etc.
The "technical" sectors, generally Sector 2, always seem to lose time in this game. I found that you have to be fairly smooth through these.. try to keep a clean line through the turns and don't "stand" on the brakes too much as that will scrub off a lot of time as you'll need to build up your speed again and by the time you get to the next bend.. it's back on the brakes.. slowing you down again, and scrubbing time and rubber, as traction etc can be a bugger as is losing rubber through heavy braking prior to a bend/turn/corner.. whatever name you want to give them.
Ease through the turns.. use the guidelines to help you if needed.. take a look at the colours as you go through the turns/bends.. if it is heavy red then you need to brake/ease off the gas well before you see red prior to that and you'll find you will be faster through them. Also adjust your gearing as that can make a great deal of difference through the bends too. Speed is vital, but so is a smoothline also.. and if you can maintain that through the turns etc then you will find that your times will improve.. along with the addage..
"practice.. practice.. practice" I use TT for that. Saves my engines in the race too.. less wear and tear on them that way. Then I go out with the saved set up and use that.. giving it a tweak if needed and run for about 5-10 laps a session.. whilst the AI drivers do around 15-25 laps plus to achieve similar times.
Hope that helps in some small way.

[Darrell West]

Thanks to Kazius who's setup I used (Page 5). I used it on the Lotus on my second season. Knocked well over a second and half from my previous best lap time. The car felt amazing and handled the bumpy sections like a dream. Mid way through the race the heavy rain came. This setup was also amazing in these conditions. Tyre wear was also very good using this setup.

 

[Ben Cox]

Hey guys what's up, this is ACR Google, and I thought since most of the setups I've seen on here (NOT ALL) aren't very good, I'd share some of my own they provide a pretty good base for you to make your own little tweaks too, butit's completely down to your driving style whether they suit you or not

I'm going to start with shangai, Cuz I completely hate this track, these setups are based soley on time trials, so won't work in career I don't think....

...

I applied this set up and was able to run 1:34 in the time trial mode with the Sauber (my current career car, figured it would be the best comparison to run)

I know tires/fuel etc but the race handling was pretty similar so all in all a good setup.

I was confused about the stiffness of the springs as well as roll bars simply because the default "FAST" setup has a very soft anti-roll bar up front and based on the descriptions, I think well, the softer the better the traction, so perhaps I can balance it with stiffer springs.. or perhaps i need a stronger anti-roll and softer springs... who knows.

Here are a couple of issues I have at this track:

The first turn works pretty good, I enter at about 5th gear and gently downshift letting the natural deceleration occur, goose it for the quick straight and then ease through the next complex where I get fairly good time on. I also have a pretty good entry/exit on 6 most of the time and build up speed for turn 7 where I immediately lose a lot of ground because I have poor grip, I have to keep it in 5th at around 12k RPM through that corner otherwise I run wide and will have a bad entry into 8. All of these setups use low aero settings, but it turns out I was also using less negative camber than the setup here, around 1.20- F and 2.8R with .8 toe out and .29 rear toe out.

I read each variation of this track's setup and noticed a few are using quite high camber values with low toe out so my question is, am I running insufficient negative camber or do I just need more aero, or am I just trying to take that corner too fast?

Lastly, the hairpin. I've tried unsuccessfuly to emulate the braking distance i've seen from actual f1 onboard cameras, which is strange because the brake distance is almost twice as much in game and I've seen in certain examples, drivers braking within 75 meters but they also don't hit 208 MPH top speed, according to mark weber, he was hitting about 195 i think, so perhaps I need more downforce which would limit my top speed but help in that turn 7 issue.

I also noticed that the drivers tend to go no lower than 2nd gear. As I'm braking, if I go to first gear the tires lock and I'm screwed, so i usually brake about 150 meters, gently downshift to 2nd and hit the apex, but while i do that, other cars are catching up to me because I've had to brake so far away, yet during the turn 11-12 complex, I smoke them!

What have you guys done to maximize your performance in these areas? they cause a lot of grief and I often go off track or lose a lot of ground and it kills my race.

Brake settings:

R 52%, high pressure
(tried many variations of brake bias and ballast but cant find anything that works really well)

Aero Settings:

F 6
R 2

Rest as OP's setup or as indicated above (alignment)

TIA

Tested with McLaren: 1.32.7 easier to drive with than OP's. And an improvement on gear ratios. However still needs a little tweaking. Remember to adjust wing angle throughout the lap.

I posted a 1:38.753 in a Lotus with this setup...handles well!
