GPL Setups for new tracks?

4 posts by 4 people · 25 Mar 1999 - 25 Mar 1999

I suck at setups, and was wondering what you all are doing for GPL at the new oval tracks. How much from N2 can we bring over? Should we look at camber at the very least? David Cook
I havn't tried it yet, but I really don't think you can look at any of the settings and transfer. Camber at ovals should be determined by trying to get the inside-middle-outside temperatures all the same. If one side is hot, camber the tire away from that side. It doesn't take too long, But remember that ANY other changes can affect the camber again. It's best to finish tuning a set up with the camber. Easy.

I've only been messing with Loudon and it's got a ways to go, but it's looking SERIOUSLY asymmetric...downright ovalistic even.:-) It's tough finding one that won't BOIL the RF, with so much loading and so little straightaway to cool down. Running a simple oval really highlights GPL's physics model and lets you feel the tire temps as they change from lap to lap. Without course complexities to deal with, you just focus on the car's balance and grip. And yet again, I'm bowled over by this game! Steve B. PS - anyone under 30 seconds at Loudon yet? remove "edy" from address for email
I just hosted a 2 hour practice and a 1 hour practice. During the first practice, someone dod a 0.29. During the second a 0.28. Damn, I can't get below a 0.31 without killing the right sides.
