Ahhhh, you guys! :))

Sim racing to the extreme....... Have you every read Carroll Smith's 'Drive to Win'? Really great book and very in-depth, I'm stuck into it at the moment. I also have 'Tune to Win', I really want to setup that Lotus better. Carroll has explained to me that I can't be a professional driver though, he says I can't drink and I must take exercise!!! All I wanted was another pint...... I'll stick to sim racing. Scott (Cracking open another beer ;-))))

That's it barkeep... cut him off! ;-) No more Newcastle for you! On a more serious note, Scott, have you found anything in Carroll's books that you've successfully applied to your GPL setups?? --Dave

Lots of stuff: differential settings the 6-degree "sweet spot" for traction weight transfer during corner entry/apex/exit for these alone it would have been worth the $26 to get it. Add in confirmation of all the things I knew, but didn't know I knew, and the book is a real bargain! Mikey (even though you didn't ask me!)

I can't do it! I have my arms turned off for better frame rates! Jeff "Flex" Flechsing LTO Motorsports

Last time I talked to Carroll Smith he had new booklet that was made as a reference book, perfect for GPL. It had section with problems and suggested fixes like "slow exit oversteer - less arb" etc. Really easy to navigate, and handy to position next to your PC:) Yes, It applies to GPL. Dunno if the book is available yet, though...

Thanks for the tip, Matt... I'll keep an eye out for it. -_dave
