In a last ditch effort to get a car to handle at Monaco i actually imported my Ring setup and didnt change anything. Belive it or not, it worked like a charm. I do however have a little tweaking to do, but other than that it works. This worked well with the Eagle and Lotus but not the Brabham. So if anyone is having problems with a setup for Monaco, try a setup for the Ring. You may be suprised how well it works. Important Note: The gear ratios arent great so u might want to play with them some. Chris
Page 78 of Steve Smith's "Four-Wheel Drift" (supplied with GPL) says exactly this - the same setup advice applies for the Ring as for Monte Carlo except for gear ratios. So I guess not too many will be surprised! Tony >In a last ditch effort to get a car to handle at Monaco i actually imported my >Ring setup and didnt change anything.

I realize this but in general a setup like mine shouldnt even work at the Ring. Its actually incredibally stiff (to absorb the bumps) and also i have the car at the max ride height. Belive it or not its solid as a rock.

I tried using the Ferrari's Nurburgring setup with the Eagle (at Nurburgring), it's a crazy, powersliding, flying, fun filled time to be had, Man! Ian
