I tried and tried, but I can't get a good setup for Loudon/New Hampshire. Ayway it must be like the setups in N3, but I can't translate them right. Ayone has experiences? -- Uli Winkelmann un sing K?lsche Sick op www.netcologne.de/~nc-winkelul

Use an asymmetrical setup. Slightly stiffer on the left side. Try to get the tire temps on the right hand side equal. If the front is hotter, soften the front or stiffen the rear roll bar. Don't worry about the handling too much, get the tire temps right and the handling will come. Driving style is important too. Don't slide the car like you would on a roadcourse, or your tires will overheat rediculously. If smoke starts pouring off your tires you'll just have to slow down. That's what worked for me, anyway. Good luck! -A >I tried and tried, but I can't get a good setup for Loudon/New >Hampshire. Ayway it must be like the setups in N3, but I can't >translate them right.

Actually i found you want soft RR and LF and a stiffer RF and LR. Reason....it acts like cross weight in a NASCAR. The stiffer RR will give you better traction on that tire and let the LR drift some. also you want to run about an 85/30 diff ration with ONLY ONE cluth no matter what car you drive. This will let you get the power down early and not have to be so light footed on the throttle. Try it and see what happens. This is only my experiance with my driving style. Chris
