I was noticing an interesting event on the back stretch (Blanchimont), the car seemed to bog down at top gear and I would start losing time, especially true if I didn't get a good launch out of turns 15 and 16 (Stavelot?) or if I upshifted too early. I wonder if this is due to too much wing? I'll need to go back for further 'testing'...

i cannot remember if you can alter the gearing, so I am going to guess you cannot. the reason it bogs down is the 6th gear is even too high for SPA. I am trying to remember, so I think it is 180mph. the fastest you can get here at Blanchimont is 160 something mph, so you are dragging a high gear and 5th is too low although you can run it in 5th up to and through Blanchimond. " I think " I also think the drag from the bend makes that work, again a guess.

you are correct. gears are locked in and not adjustable. yes, it seems 5th is too low to get you to the bus stop on time without redlining out and 6th is too tall, at least on the lanzo... i'll try it again with wing set to 1... thanks for the tips!
