Can antone tell me why I can't acheive the same top speeds as the other cars. I may be topping out at 307 km while the other cars are at 326 km or so. I checked exit speed on the corners before the long straights and I have equal or better. Any ideas? Thanks Ken Corkum

Sounds like you have too much wing on your car. Lower the wing and you should get the top speed you're looking for. Clark
320-330 is possible but you'll have to set the back wing of the car really low... Personally I run Germany and Italy with setting 1 at the back. For avoiding a loose end, just lower the car, and to improve grip, use quite soft springs in the back. The front wing and front suspension/anti-roll bar, you'll have to adjust to your personal drivestyle... Make it real pointy if you're 'Alesi' and need to correct because of driving over the edge, make it 'Hill' if you're perfect & smooth, and understeer + slow in corners if you don't want to get mentally exhausted after 5 laps :))))) Yves

I dont have this problem I can exceed the AI speeds most of the time, have you tried lower wings and other setup changes?

Lower your wing settings, but be careful of losing grip in the corners!!!! Marc
