Very stable under braking and oversteer free in S2.

No assists except auto gears.There is still room for improvement.With manual gears it can be 0.5 - 0.7 sec faster.

Hey Kirk - Liked the setup - but I needed to increase 1st and 2nd a little. I'm on a PC, no aids, G27 wheel and I just pulled a 1:36.8xx M3 primes in practice. I'm on my second season with McLaren. I'm sure I'll get at least .8 faster with options. Just killing the AI! Love it - Thx!

Very stable in S2 for sure. Im using the "True AI" mod which includes the "Improved Performance" mod so i am fighting for 1.39s with Lotus and the top teams are doing 1.37s :S

But a nice set up non the less

Pole on primes on legend. 1.36 with a pretty rubbish lap. Same setup as mouta but I find the lower gearbox is quicker when DRS is not available and when carrying race fuel. Had to run the brake balance as far back as I could get away with to run the ,ap in neutral bias because the race weekend had a risk of rain during the race which would require the brake bias to go back further in the wet.

TT: 1:33:545 (all assists off)
Race best lap : 1:38:612 (primes)

This setup destroys the front wheels,you can push the options to 16 laps and the primes to 25 laps,but the car will be really hard to drive !

I did a 100 % race on this track (cockpit view),and i can tell you that it's the most difficult circuit physically (couldn't hold the wheel towards the end ) ... 1:33.545 is a decent time,but i still feel uncomfortable with this track !
