: I'll start things off by saying that i got a 1'15.2.. at Portland using
: the default Penske 93. I know  this will be beat but hey it's a start!

: As for Laguna Seca, a 1'20....  ,

: i use the keyboard and have it set on non-linear steering. That's about
: it. I'll have to get into set up more but am just fooling aroung right
: now.

I got 1:01:59 at Toronto, 1:05:33 at Portand, and 1:05:50 at Long Beach.  
I mainly use the ACE setup.  I recommend getting a joystick because the
non-linear stearing is necesarry to get good times I think.

Also, where does it describe what the difference is between ACE and FAST
settings? What is the correct interpretation of these terms?

And while I'm here, how can you avoid getting smoked off of the line
when you do a standing start?  I tried different turbo settings, but I
still get passed by 4-5 cars every time.  On a pace lap start this isn't
a problem.

My times to date:

Input dev - FlightStik Pro joystick
car/motor - 93 Penske/Chevy C

Laguna          1'15"
Portland        Yet to get a clean lap in....
Michigan        230mph

I have managed consistent 63 second laps at Portland. What you need to do
is run ALOT of donwforce so you can get through turn 1 (after the chicane)
almost flat in 5th and then drop into forth for turn 2. This is with a 93
Lola XB.

I've found that setting up the car with (depending on the track) ~35-50
front shocks and and ~15-20 rear on road courses works well. This gives you
good grip out of the corners.

On ovals you want to run the opposite, less front shock (10-20) and more
rear (45-60).

I noticed that a setup that works well for a Penske 93 puts the car in a
oversteer condition with a Lola. Very cool.

Has anyone found a good setup for Long Beach?
