Wowsers! Although [USER=10]@DJCruicky[/USER] said he was doing fine around this weeks track with a variation of @deecee52’s setup shared recently, I’ve been all at sea with any variation on a ‘normal’ setup until yesterday - can’t get @deecee52’s setup to turn in (which is usual for me - particularly on tight tracks) and most setups made me quite a passenger trying to thread through the tricky section just before the return to the cobbles…
What has worked (moderately well) for me, however, is:
i) Nearly max downforce - to pin the car
ii) Nearly max ride height - to help cope with the bumps
iii) Nearly max packers (which I almost always zero elsewhere) to try to avoid bottoming out - I noticed in telemetry that the front ride height can go negative…!)
iv) Nearly minimum ARBs
v) Much lower rebound than compression damping (slow and fast) to allow the suspension to rapidly droop and then absorb the big hits…
vi) Mid-range diff settings to help stabilise the car into corners and on landing and to get traction again.
I might still not be as quick as Ed and Cruicky but at least I can (generally) keep the car under control now!
