It's a good starter and there is less pressure on you to perform, as it's in the lowest tier so to speak. I've used this setup and it gave me almost 2 seconds:

Had a race ruining at Baku today, 21 laps in I pitted for Supersofts then came out and after a few corners it went back into pit speed-limiter mode for no reason. It even said I was pitting on the menu screen, I got disqualified after 10 seconds for illegal stopping
I don't think it's adaptive and there appear to be huge jumps between difficulty levels.
From my experience the race tends to be a little easier than quali.Yeah if i hear your situation it seems like you are falling just in between levels. That stinks but i suppose you could handicap yourself a little like we used to do in GT?
Hard seems fine for me for the moment so i can't complain, but we'll see after i finish my first race i guess.
Yeh this helped me a lot.I'd like to recommend this 'guide' thread, very in depth and informative!

Me, too. Picked up a good four seconds across three laps with a few minor tweaks - enough that I will have to up the difficulty (which I was looking for). Currently trying to balance the advantages of one adjustment against the disadvantage of another, but I am convinced that I can get more by opening them up further. As it is, I am trying to find a way around my driving style; I like a lot of body roll to keep the balance between front understeer and rear oversteer in check. It's a really rally style, but here it chews the tyres up.
I like a lot of front grip too.
I like the way there is no one perfect setup. It's something that Codemasters really worked on for Dirt Rally - setup is more about finding something that lets the individual get speed in their own way. I downloaded a few setups in time trial to race rival ghosts, and I found that some of them were downright horrible, even though they were faster than me. I made a few tweaks of my own, and I would go faster than them.
I'm working on the assumption that if you go one way in the setup, there are trade-offs; if you decrease the off-throttle differential, you'll get better rotation and tyre wear, but at the same time you'll get lower corner stability and longer braking distances. So I tend to be less extreme in my off-throttle differential settings.
You are more likely to spin yes but I can deal with a loose rear better than I can deal with a front that doesn't want to turn. I keep the on throttle diff at 70% for traction out of corners.
