@Jimi Hughes Do you use your own setup for FFord? I just set gears, increase rpm, steering lock and fuel and that's it. I can't find any magical setup, it's just waste of time for me with this car.

From my experience, it hardly matters (besides the obvious final gear). In Magny I was using your quasi-default setup, then somebody posted one in the chat and I gave it a try (much stiffer springs, much longer 1st), and I could do the same times, just I felt more or less nervous depending on the turn. Toe in-out, caster.... feel completely useless.

The ultimate speed I think can be found with short gearing to induce oversteer and slide a bit on the turns (you do that). However, if you are not 100% in control you end up losing time (or worse, spinning).

 

[Alberto Casado]

In of course.

 

[Gavin John]

Sorry have to pull out RL stuff

 

[Erik Tveit]

As fast I signed in, as fast I must sign out.

Parents still making plans in the middle of races, yoohoo, a cookie for them.

I use more or less default and rarely change it between circuits as I dont really have enough time atm to test. I only adjust gears, drop tyre pressures, fuel and off the top of my head (im away from my PC) i think I run 8 front and rear for anti-roll bars. I think that is all I have adjusted apart from minor shifts in brake bias. Its all just momentum based driving in these, just trying to get the things pointed the right way exiting a corner and maximise speed on the exit. "Slow in, fast out" to use the old cliche!

@Bob Miley trying hard to revive it

Well put me down for this then. We need more peeps with enough guts to have a go!!!!

 

[Yves Larose]

@Bob Miley bring your family, friends and pets with you that would help

 

[Victor Ivanov]

Jeez I hate to say it but I'm gonna miss my first race here My sister has jumped into a whole or something on the road and both her right tyres are punctured so I'll go to help her.

 

[Hugo Gonçalves]

didnt sure if can make it, so maybe list.

 

[Tomas Aniunas]

Sign me up please.

 

[Titas Bučelis]

I'm in (maybe)

 

[Marian Zelenka]

@Jimi Hughes You drop tire pressures? I think they are fine. On the other hand, I always have to increase pressures on Mini because they are underinflated and it never normalizes and I have bad temps. Probably my driving style.

Found a nice article about FFord experience:

My beta skin looks exactly the same.

I always use lower tyre pressures, i prefer the feel of the car with them slightly lower but its marginal. I think as long as the gearing is ok for these cars there is alot more time in learning the car than there is with setup.

With the minis I always drop the fronts and raise the rears due to loosen up the rear abit, and to help the tires life over the longer races

Don't know what the hell was going on tonight...a few new faces and some dreadful, dreadful driving.

I managed to avoid most of it for the first lap and a half, but all around me there were cars bashing into each other and Joakim Paolin (?) who's name I don't see on the list was just ramming into everyone.

In the end I got flipped upside down after someone steamed down the inside of me and hit Ivan (I think) and I got caught up in it.

Mods need to be swinging the banhammer. I know it's up to us to report, but there was that much going on on the first couple of laps I think it's worth checking out...
