GPL Setups for new tracks?

GPL Setups for new tracks?

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?

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!

PS - anyone under 30 seconds at Loudon yet?

    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.
