GPL - car setup

6 posts by 5 people · 19 May 1999 - 25 May 1999

Where can I find a describtion what the variety of setup things actually change, i.e. why would I change tire pressure etc. I know that this is probably a stupid question for you *** sim-guys, but for the layman like me ? Also, does anyone have a good Monaco setup for the Ferrari ? thx Wolfgang

Try Blackhole Motorsports setup guide, its a pretty extensive troubleshooting type guide that adds to the info supplied by the GPL strategy guide. www.bhmotorsports.com/gpl_setup_guide.html I always need more traction at one end of the car or the other so I usually start by softening settings and lowering ride height. I like my brake bias a little more to the front than the default settings. If you run across Eagle Woman's setups she gives some real-life engineer reasoning to her work. Excellent choice, all that midrange power! Go soft and low with stiff rollbars and keep the brake bias rearward so you can keep those fronts rolling in those low speed corners. Watch the hotshoe replays and don't be too proud to keep it in first gear. For a ton of GPL links to downloadable setups try the excellent Turn 1 at [link lost in import] Happy Motoring
After many months of dedication I have concluded that extra tyre pressure makes the tyres harder, and less tyre pressure makes them softer. You owe me one, ok?

Understood so far. But pumping up the rear left tire makes which tyre harder? ;-) Jens --------------------------------------------- Remove "NOSPAM" before using my email-address
