I'm scared to even try Race B, because I have no idea what to do with all the settings. I mean, what's the point in trying hard to get a good QT, when if I have the wrong settings, I don't stand a chance?

After so much Gr.3 lately, it's time to change for something challenging. So this week it will be Gr.1 at HSR. As first day of practice (really thanking Tidgney) 56.836 is quite encouraging, considering I've never driven before the R92. For the aero setting I go to minimum allowed and try to survive in bends. Seems to work. Didn't touch yet susp. or diff. settings, only 1 point more on both antirollbar.

I agree, hence why I don't like tuning races (even if it's minimal). Ain't nobody got time to click adjust a little at a time and trial and error it.

Heck, you can't even take someone else's settings as there's no one size fits all; what works for them may not for you. I want to race other drivers, not their settings.

I played around with the settings a bit.
In the Nissan, I found that 650 front downforce, and 1050 rear gave me the best combination of speed/grip.

I just drove lowest possible downforce, didnt care to change anything else. Did some quali laps. Im at 57 sharp with 56.8 optimum as a B driver. A drivers can surely get near the 55.x seconds.

Turn 2 is the only real danger with low downforce. It's hard to keep a bit of pace and not smash into the wall. Rest of the turns I'll survive and the straights are easy peasy. Maybe you can even go full throttle in the last turn, with minimal downforce. Up until now I did slight lifts every time just to be safe.

Just dial aero off and brake for the essess.

The times are so marginal you want top speed and just deal with the slightly slower corners.

Top speed, I repeat top speed. No aero!

That's why I go for big swings usually (full max or min) and then dial them back if I don't like them.
