I have loaded the Indianapolis Speedway track into GP2
from www.gp2.com
I was wondering if anyone had lap times below 44.7 secs for
that track and if so what sort of setup did they use?
I have the front and rear wings both down to 1, I have 4th,
5th and 6th gear ratios set to 65,66 & 67 respectively and
I have the ride height higher on the right side of the car
than on the left side (so it turns in easier). I was in 5th
gear flat-out all the way around when I set my best time of
44.725 secs. On the front and rear straights I get up to
206 mph, and through the turns I get down to 199-200 mph.
I am driving as David Coulthard and the Indy track is loaded
in position 1 (previously Brazil).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Haven't tried the track myself, but I've run oval setups at both Wistow
and Silverstone '74.
I found the setup perfectly balanced at 9/1 IIRC. It'll always stand more
front than rear and front wing doesn't cost drag, allegedly.
Look at the data logging and tweak the rides and packers until the car is
running a spare 1-2mm travel in the corners and is just skimming the plank
down the straights. The outside will be off the packers in the straights
(in fact, doesn't actually need them at all except to 'cap' the grip in
transients) and the inside will run packers down the straights then lift
off them in the corners. The car will be horribly asymmetrical and will
pull sideways when you accelerate from a standing start.
Silverstone '74 without lifting using this trick!
