For Seasonals try to decrease top speed to 340KPH for tokyo and nurbur GP.

The stock is 390 I think.

I havent done the Indy Road Course, as far as I know this circuit, top speed should be around 360kph.
 
No, you definitely need to be cautious with the downforce settings; the rear needs to have a much higher setting. You'll see when you're going through the corkscrew on Capering at 290.
55-60 higher on the rear is working well for me.
 
None is needed.

Agree. 👍

The F1s are already good!

A common misconception is that F1 cars come with a perfect tuning setup and no change is necessary. However, this is but also isn't true. Sure, they're fine as a generic, generalized setup, but if you want to dial them in for a specific track, there's room for improvement. In real life, teams actually do spend a lot of time fine-tuning their car setups for just that specific race. No car on the F1 grid ever runs on a generic, default setup.

So, if we're just wanting a generalized tune to stick with everywhere we go, the stock tuning setup is fine, but if you want to dial it in for specific tracks, there's actually room for improvement, which is why real F1 teams bother doing it in the first place.

This ^. Guys its the same with any car. Most of the tunes on here are general purpose ones but if you wan't to get the most out of the car on each track you WILL need to make adjustments.
 
Take the front and rear toe down to about half of their original +/-50 values, max the the spring rates to minimize scraping. 125/175 downforce for most road courses. I run with TC on 8 and no other assists.

The original toe values are way too aggressive.
 
Iceman is right. I think the stock setup is far too twitchy. The exaggerated toe angles make the car very maneuverable, but at the cost of stability. My setup is tuned for just a hair of understeer at the limit, which gives you a bit of a safety net during high speed transitions. I was able to pass for the lead within the first few laps with traction control on 8, and no other assists enabled.
 
Thanks for all the insight guys. I end up just working through some of the races by repetition, but I totally agree on the car being too twitchy. I'll try playing with the alignment later tonight when I get home.

thanks again for all the help.


RR :)
