Yes, I am, though the lap times I'm turning are not what I'd prefer. Setting the car up properly has taken to much time.

Although I'm not a setup genius I've found that with with most cars I've tried this week, setting high camber (4/2) and toe (1/1) helps loads. Medium front suspension with stiffer rear. Setting stabilisers too high makes it harder to turn.
I've got power distribution at 35% with quite high front downforce and less on the back.
Although I don't normally use TC I've got it set at 5 - helps stop it wheelspinning out the tight turns.
I've found that gearing and when you change can make a big difference to the cornering. Use the low-end torque to help prevent sliding by changing up early just as you enter the corner. You might need to blip down then up to get the accelleration back but it seems to kinda work for me.
Finally dont set brakes too high otherwise you tend to lock up and slide. Mine are at 12/14. Brake a bit earlier and keep it smooth seems to be better than waiting till the last second and slamming the anchors on.
All I got to do now is stop hitting them damn walls! The blind right just before the hairpin does me in
Hope this helps a bit - but not too much so you beat me

I suppose its too late for me to start this week (been busy last few weeks) so i will start next week. (10 000 post in WRF

As far as TCS, I've noticed that for the most part on the cars I've used that the TCS does'nt do much unless your coming out of first gear or have the car completely out of shape. And if the car is sliding that much, the lap time is'nt going to be good regardless.
I' have my brakes set at about 9 front 10 rear.

Holy cow! I've seen the light.
Just tried some pocket tuning on my Evolution Rally Car.
Lowered the ride height, increased downforce and springrate and got a totally different car. In 45 min I cut 3 seconds of my lap and 2 seconds of my T2: 56.641.
I'll never race with stock settings again.

I knew I wasn't going crazy... 
I've improved my time, with a different car. My best splits are now:
T1: 30.968
T2: 54.9xx (forgot to write it down... Bugger!)
And I've got another 1.4s off my lap time. Hurrah!
Should be a close one with Heinrich this week, I think

Haven't made much progress in the past few days - still stuck at T1 = 31.3xx ; T2 = 55.5xx.
I've seen a T1 of 31.0xx and a T2 of 55.2xx, but unfortuantely not on a clean lap...

Time submitted.
T1=31.598 T2=55.450
I've had T1's over half a second quicker, but the second and third sectors on this lap were probably my best, so this is my quickest lap.

I just started running the 206.
I see some potential there.
Best save:
30.912

Still working...

This POS won't show a chase view in replay.
If this is unacceptable, then please disregard my submitted time.

That's what it's supposed to do.
Does your Peugeot 206 have a chase view in replay?
Goomba: Is it a 206 to which you are referring?
The 206 and one of the Imprezzas are two cars, that I know of, which do this.
Maybe it's a glitch?
I wonder if there is a .ini reference? Famine?

Thanks Neil.
My problem isn't so much finding the tuning information, but to actually getting started to use it. I've been reading a lot of tuning guides, but it wasn't really necessary to beat GT3. So apart from fooling around with the gears I've never bothered to try the fine art of tuning.
Another problem I've got is that I really don't know much about cars, so many of the techniques described is just difficult for me to understand. I guess what it takes is to getting forced to use it many times. I was really astonished over, how much time I gained with a very little effort in this weeks race. So I hope this OLR will give the motivation to go deeper in this subject.
