zero wing is what hurts turn in
@JimmySmithYT6 күн бұрын
Turn in was fine in fast corners. It was the slow corners where it was bad, and aero doesn't make as much difference when going slow. Think the setup was just stiff to keep it stable with zero wing

@JimmySmithYT26 күн бұрын
@nickcarlson7950 Craig's setup shop dude. It's not as good as it used to be, but it's free if you have amazon prime and the downloader software is good. They stopped doing GTE setups last season, but I used a season 2 setup in this race and still works fine

@@JimmySmithYT thanks. I’m using VRS now and just wanted another option. VRS tends to be a little looser and seems like what you had was pretty stable.
@JimmySmithYT26 күн бұрын
@nickcarlson7950 ah don't you worry, Craig's can be pretty unstable too 😂. What I have been doing recently is if one is unstable, try a setup from a different season. I used to just accept I couldn't drive that car and try a different car, wasted so much time. Majors garage do free setups for every car which are always stable, but I'm pretty sure they just change the aero on the baseline setup, so are still understeery

@nickcarlson7950 honestly dude try Craig's if you have an amazon prime account, if you don't have one just ask a friend or relative to use theirs. You just connect it to a twitch account so you get a free subscription to subscribe to craig. With it you get qually setup, race setup, endurance setup, wet setup, downloadable replay file, and he puts a fast one lap video of every setup on KZbin, which has been mad helpful. I watch them when I'm unsure about a gear for a corner, and almost every time the video will surprise me and save me a few tenths. Current series he's doing setups for is imsa, gt Sprint, Porsche cup, super formula and falken challenge, and a couple of others I think. There are still years worth of gte and all other cars setups available on there too though. The way the downloader also puts everything automatically in to the correct folders is also a win.
