I'd like to know how competitive my ICR setup for Michigan. What is a good
speed around the track? My quickest so far is 236.9 mph. Thanks to the
kind souls who helped me intially, figuring out setups. I like to know if
anyone has managed 240 mph, and if so, how?

Use a Ford engine (Buick may even be better, but I never tried). Drop you
wings to
3.00/3.00 or whatever you feel you can still control, 3 gallons of fuel,
soft tires
except for the RF. I also increased my shock rate to 100% on all 4
corners.
This keeps the car willing to go where you are pointing it, but it is
very
unforgiving. Oh, and don't forget to adjust those gears to the lower wing.

236 is possible with the default ACE setup - just find the line...

I have always managed to average better at Michigan (241+) with the Buick
engine. Wings are negligible, drop 'em all the way down to 3.0 and hug the
yellow line on the big turns.
