Just for reference, I got the game last evening and did 6 runs at
Harwood so far (all using the default setup). The final two of them were
3:50's. I think that I could play some with the differential and weight
transfer to get the car to oversteer a little more under off-throttle,
but except for that I find the default setup quite good.

But seriously, you missed the point. redted was asking whether the
default setup is cr*p, and I replied that I think it is ok since with
only six attempts, I could get pretty good times out of it.

The only adjustments I've made (im too scared of the others) are the
springs. I stiffen them all around for France, and soften the front when its
muddy
No, you are...
You're used to imposing your will on, and actively balancing, an
"off-throttle-understeer-to-power-oversteer" car. As is Richard Burns,
obviously.
Other people prefer a generally more neutral to oversteering car, which they
can allow to work for them, instead of them working for the car.
I'm sure your method is faster in the long run -Michael Schumacher is a
7-time world champion after all-, but, at least in "simland", we should be
allowed to have the car handle the way *we* want.
I'll have a go at making a "proper" setup once I'm comfortable with the sim
(this may take in excess of 6 months).

I notice a lot of things. <vbseg>

Why shouldn't it? -both sims feature front engined, purpose built racing
cars. If the modelling in both sims is somewhat correct the same principles
should apply. The grip level is different and the variety of corners is
greater (hence a more "compromise" setup is needed), but otherwise the
effect of damper changes should be the same.
You're not wrong there...
I tried the tarmac Mont Blanc Rally today (default setup)... ye gods, no
wonder he got blown away by the likes of Panizzi and Loeb.
Retired on the 2nd stage... car simply undrivable.
Anyhow, thanks for the tips... I'll put them to good use!
