Great setup, I have my car fully tuned up so I bumped the spring rate a little and took the tcs down to 1 lots of fun!!!! 👍

Hi, what is S1 and S3?

Also, what advantage does having the brake balance on a really high number, what does it help? For example if you had it F:3 and R:3, how would F:12 and R:12 be any different?

Cheers

S1 and S3 are Sport tires 1 (hard) and Sport tires 3 (soft).

I don't understand your brake question. A setting of 12 stops the car quicker than a setting of 3 - of course. I use 6 front and 12 rear because I choose to brake while I am beginning a turn rather than braking in a straight like prior to turning. I also do not use full force when braking, choosing to use partial pressure from my big toe (I have the DFP). I find this setting right for me.

There is no one setting that is right for everybody. If some part of my setting does not work for you, don't use it. Or change it to something to your liking. And if you find something that works better - post it!

I didn't know that! Wouldn't it make sense for the default settings to have maximum braking force? Retarded..

I have a similar technique to you, with quite a lot of rear biast. I prefer the car 'on edge' as i find it is easy to change direction for consecutive corners.

I always put more bias through the front wheels as i always thought that was how race cars where set up in real life, willtry rear bias now! Thanks for the idea. 👍
