I can run reasonably well in qualifying, but could do with a good race setup to run at Interlagos. I find that the qualifying setup I use isn't forgiving enough for me to handle lap after lap. I'm a bit too clueless (and impatient) to develop one and wondered if anyone could help Cheers

For that matter, does anyone have a site with race setups for all the tracks? Hotlap setups abound on the net, but all are useless for more than a handfull of laps.

I would suggest taking those hot lap setups and working from there to get setups for race. There are just a few rules: 1. Raise the ride height to check plank wear, increase wing to compensate for loss of downforce. 2. Reduce gear ratios slightly (1 point) to optimise the lower power band of the race engine. 3. Stiffen the car to retain handling characteristics with the heavier fuel load. The first items to stiffen are springs, thereafter fast bump dampers. Reduce packers to make handling more predictable and forgiving. Have fun, -john stuart cape town sa
That is something we are in the progress of doing in the Sprtsims forum on Compuserve. We have a database of the setups used by the best drivers in last year's "mini" season of 8 races and will be adding to it as the new season progresses. We also have guides for most tracks which usually include at least one race setup. Some of these are also published in Sim Racing News. Cheers, Richard

Is there an url where one can go to access this info? Thanks in advance! Karl
Sorry, they are only available to Compuserve members in the Sprtsims forum. It would involve asking too many people to get permission for it to be put on the web. Cheers, Richard

Hello Karl, i've created a website especially made for setups purpose At this you can download and view (directly) good QUAL & RACE SETUPS. My primary concern on building these setups is CAR BALANCE EASY ON TIRES, VERY FAST (at ACE LEVEL; always on pole), and they are "drivable" NOT WEIRD SETUP here! Take a look and tell me what you think at --> http://infoweb.magi.com/~ericcote/gp2setup.html Also i have made extensive research and wrote numerous article on CAR SETUP (dampers,anti-roll bar vs springs rate,car height,and packers) Also made a page on PERFORMANCE DATA ANALYSIS all under this: http://infoweb.magi.com/~ericcote/mysetup.html Of course my main GP2 website is http://infoweb.magi.com/~ericcote/gp2menu.html You'll be surprise on the contents of information, Have Fun
