GP2 Hockenheim Setup, help needed!

writes Here's one I used for a 1:41.8xx. It was developed by Georg Naujoks on CompuServe (who has, of course, gone even faster!). Cheers!

Well, I don't know about everyone else, but i found the joystick to be a right *** for control. Anyway, I managed to get consistent 1:46 and 1:47 with my setup.. rear wing on 1, front wing about 14, gears relatively standard excepting 6th a touch longer. Springs and anti roll bars fairly standard, etc.

Hi! I'm not fast enough yet, but I can cure that 1.51: Wings: f: 9 b: 1 Roll Bars: f: 3000 b: 750 Springs: f: 1300 b: 1200 Ride Height: f: 32 b: 58 6th gear: 65:64 Whith those I can run 1.45 times (my best 1.45.103 By the way: lose that autogearbox (and all helpers too) ! Toni

How about using the showset utility at: http://www.sax.de/~sts/gp2-arch.html instead of posting the rather unreadable *.*si code... The utility dumps the whole setup information to the screen and piping the output to a file or the printer gives a nice and readable format. Try it, I thinks it can improve discussions about the GP2 setups in this newsgroup a lot... Happy racing ;^) Marcus -- Marcus v.

I got showset from CompuServe a while back, but posting the "*.cs?" files simply saves people a lot of typing. Save it to your GP2 directory, load it up and away you go. For those without printers you have to copy the whole thing down, load up GP2 and then type it all in - major pain. Cheers!

What is really needed is a setup program that both dumps a setup file in a readable fashion AND reads its own output and produces a binary setup file! Such a program should quickly become a standard. Brad
