In a last ditch effort to get a car to handle at Monaco i actually imported my
Ring setup and didnt change anything.  Belive it or not, it worked like a
charm.  I do however have a little tweaking to do, but other than that it
works.  This worked well with the Eagle and Lotus but not the Brabham.  So if
anyone is having problems with a setup for Monaco, try a setup for the Ring.
You may be suprised how well it works.

Important Note:  The gear ratios arent great so u might want to play with them
some.

Page 78 of Steve Smith's "Four-Wheel Drift" (supplied with GPL) says exactly
this - the same setup advice applies for the Ring as for Monte Carlo except
for gear ratios.

So I guess not too many will be surprised!

I realize this but in general a setup like mine shouldnt even work at the Ring.
 Its actually incredibally stiff (to absorb the bumps) and also i have the car
at the max ride height.  Belive it or not its solid as a rock.

I tried using the Ferrari's Nurburgring setup with the Eagle (at Nurburgring),
it's a crazy, powersliding, flying, fun filled time to be had, Man!
