Afternoon all, I run in a series specifically designed for NASCAR Restrictor Plate racing, to try and resemble actual speeds these cars run rather than hitting the 892 BHP limit. Some rules for the Series are:
BHP set at 502 (but it lets you run at 503)
Racing Hards
Low Tyre Wear
I have a perfect Daytona setup for those races, and not a bad Road setup, but I am struggling in one area for Indy.
I do have a perfect setup for solo runs and qualifying times (I think), managing to hit a Q time of 51.832, and averaging strong 52 flats, but when I get to 25 laps these start to drop dramatically.
I think these are good enough to get poll in the next event, but my problem is that I need a set that runs very low 52's, but gives me approx 35 laps (while running solo). The next race is a 60 lapper and I need to only stop once as I know others will. Running 35 laps solo should give me 30 laps in race conditions.
Current setup for the above is as follows:
Downforce F 35 / R 70 (or max if that's not correct)
LSD T = Max / A = Max / B = 15
Ride Height = 15 / 15
Spring Rate = 15.5 / 13
Dampers (E) = 8 / 4
Dampers (C) = 8 / 4
Anti-Roll Bars = 3 / 3
Camber = 3.0 / 1.0
Toe Angle = 0.10 / 0.20
Current Setup will wear out both the Front Tyres closely followed by Rear Right. I think the rear right will last if I can get the front tyres to wear better, so thats what I need to concentrate on. Increasing F Downforce all the way up will give me 35 laps before losing all rubber on both right side tyres, but at a dramatic loss of pace that I think I need for race conditions.
I'm not asking for specific values (as not sure how may out there have run restrictor plate racing) but if I can be pointed in the direction of what I need to adjust, it would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance. 👍

it will be very loose all the way around and will eat front tires up in no time. DO NOT RUN POSITIVE TOE FOR YOUR RACE SETUP! At 892 bhp I can run high 43's as long as I can stay in the preferred line and hit my marks.
