I tried and tried, but I can't get a good setup for Loudon/New
Hampshire. Ayway it must be like the setups in N3, but I can't
translate them right. Ayone has experiences?

Use an asymmetrical setup.  Slightly stiffer on the left side.

Try to get the tire temps on the right hand side equal.  If the front is
hotter, soften the front or stiffen the rear roll bar.  Don't worry about
the handling too much, get the tire temps right and the handling will come.

Driving style is important too.  Don't slide the car like you would on a
roadcourse, or your tires will overheat rediculously.  If smoke starts
pouring off your tires you'll just have to slow down.

That's what worked for me, anyway.  Good luck!

Actually i found you want soft RR and LF and a stiffer RF and LR.  Reason....it
acts like cross weight in a NASCAR.  The stiffer RR will give you better
traction on that tire and let the LR drift some.  also you want to run about an
85/30 diff ration with ONLY ONE cluth no matter what car you drive.  This will
let you get the power down early and not have to be so light footed on the
throttle.  Try it and see what happens.  This is only my experiance with my
driving style.
