Just wondering about how much the new minimum rideheight
affect laptimes. I have driven abit on Brands Hatch with patch 1.1
only and manage to get down to 1.35.42 in the Lotus and 1.36.10 in the
Ferrari.
Think it's easier to drive consistently with the Ferrari though.
It seems like the cars is much more predictable with stiff rollbars and
soft springs.

Yes, I've found that too.

I think the new default setups are based on Alison Hine's research,
which is why they're nice to drive!

I like to practice a track with the Ferrari until I get pretty
consistent, then try again with the Lotus once I'm confident enough!

Where do you get the Brands Hatch Track? I have never seen this track but
then again... I have been away for awhile. Any help is appreciated.

Hello Tom,
                    I was in the same situation regarding Brands Hatch, i
found it at :

http://www.the-fastlane.com/tracks.htm

I didn't race there yet, but i was able to see A. Hines's replay there, it
sure looks like a nice track.

Regards,

C. Giroux.

I managed to lower the time down to 1.35.18 yesterday,
but because of the LWFF with strong FF settings I had problems
lifting my arms today :-))
Now I going for the high 1.34...
