do es anyone have some setups for the red rocket that is maybe a little
faster but maybe a little less forgingin than Alison Hines?
I have gotten used to the understeer now - but would like less.
I think Im finally good enough to try some more competitive setups - only
obstacle is that I have no idea what to tinker with.

Basically, if you reduce the front roll bar (or increase the rear) you will
reduce the understeer.

Hi Thomas,
I did the same thing, started with AH's setup. When I went to Ricardo
Nunnini's setup, I liked it much better. I figured if I changed any of that
stuff, all I'd do is make it worse. Give it a try. Here is his site:

There is a wealth of driving info there.

Wow, I can barely DRIVE Ricardo's setups... I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...

Once you've got the car responding to the way you drive you can begin to see
how you might gain by the way you approach the track. Make the driving
change first and then see how setup might help you. And so on and so forth.
After a while you will see yourself moving towards the faster setups. I used
to think Richard was talking rubbish... now I agree on most accounts.
There are, however, no shortcuts.... you must take the lohg way to what now,
rationally, seems faster. You cannot go from "slow" (you're not slow... you
can beat 80% of casual game players hands down) to fast in one swift swipe.
You must travel the learning curve. Not an easy process, but one that keeps
rewarding... take my word for it (2 years of playing GPL and counting)
Jan./this kind of talk earned me the nickname "Obi-Jan" on WVROC.

I've used Alison's Ferrari setups a lot, and I've gotten all that I can out of
them. Yes, I know others have used them and been faster, but I'm stuck. I
don't know what to change in my driving. And *don't* say brake left-footed. I
don't seem to be that coordinated.
I don't need a shortcut. I'd settle for a 'medium-cut'...<g>

You might find the car quite nervous with such a setting at first, but
once you get used to it it's pretty fast. I admit to being a relatively
slow driver, but I just set my PB of 1.29.35 at Monza with such a setup
yesterday, and it was in one of the last laps of a race. I usually set
all my best laps in races, go figure.

Interesting point Gregor. I have just taken a look at my league statistics.
Of the 16 races that we have run this seasson, 14 have produced slower times
in qualifying than in the actual race. I wonder how people's philosopy on
qualifying setups differs from race setups, if people actually use different
ones at all (apart from maybe dumping fuel).

I was sorta decelerating/coasting from turn-in to apex until I figured
out that the only time the rear end wasn't locked was when I held the
throttle correctly for zero acceleration/deceleration. It's
remarkable just how much faster the car can take a corner when you do
this because the rear wheels can rotate different speeds.

Softening the front as well as stiffening the rear ARB should most
certainly make your car looser :-)

But it is not undrivable - just keep a bit of throttle on so that not all
weight is off the rear at the entrance of the corner
I took a lap at the ring with the new setup - I spun twice but still managed
to be only 8 secs from my PB - so I think there is soon going to be Rank
climbing party at my house
