EVO VII RS Enduro Settings

[lewdvig]

It is quite a shock going from T8 tires to T2. Any thoughts on how I tune this thing to handle nicely and make it through 5 laps w/o a tire change?

Check the Writeups board - I ran the Seattle Enduro in an Evo VI and won pretty solidly. I believe there is setup info in that thread. I ran it on T4s and pitted every 8 laps or so, but I would go to T3s and pit every 10th lap. Anyway, do a search on the Writeups board and the detail should be there.

My EVO VII eats a set of T2s in 5 laps. Something is wrong - am I really so hard on tires?

T2 - Super Slicks? The hardest racing tires? You should get about 10 laps out of those at least. Sounds like either the setup is funky or maybe you're sliding it too much.

Can you post your suspension settings?

Other than that, you could be braking too late and sliding too much, which does take its toll on the tires. I try to brake early - at least as early as when the gearshift indicator flashes, telling you the brakepoint - and avoid turning under full brakes. I like to slow down early enough that I can get back on the power right after turn-in.

I am taking a few days off from GT3 - for the sake of my eyes.
