Fast times with safe setups

[jamescarruthers]

Hi all,


I am wondering what the fastest times are with safe setups? How many seconds are they from the aggressive setup?

Forgot about setups and stuck with the default safe one this weekend.

Managed to shave off 1 second of my best time around Silverstone. Essentially, steering a lot less and braking a bit sooner rather than later to ensure my corner entry is more stable.

2:02.5 is still a couple of seconds off where I'd like to be, but still.

Its still not a 'bad' time. If you can stick to that consistently at race pace I think you may be quite surprised if you joined a club race at RD.
As I say to a lot of people who are trying to improve, ultimate pace doesn't win a race. Consistancy does, no point doing a lap 2 seconds faster, but making 1 seconds worth of mistakes trying to push the next 10 laps.

Great discussion. Thanks !

Trying to be as quick as alien brings only frustration.
We need to practise more , and more.

Events and leadearboards are well made to monitor progress.
I personally use the agressive setup . I just change at first the tyre pressures to 28 psi hot and concentrate to be as consistent as possible lap after lap. THEN and only then i try to modify my setup for my own driving style. But just simple things like antiroll bars, wings, ...

I practise by trying to optimize my slowest event ranking. It makes me learn variius tracks, card, evrnt typed, various weather....
