I have a question about car setup/tuning. I watched the video Hawks uploaded about how real V8's are setup and the guy mentions the front camber is -6 and rear is -2. I set my front camber to -4 and 5 laps later on soft tires my left front was gone.
My biggest issue right now is understeering. What should I be tweaking to help with the understeering I am encountering?

Try decreasing or even detaching the rear ARB (you might even decrease the front some). I would also recommend softening up the springs.
I use aggressive camber to try to get more grip, but it is hard on the front tires. My left front tire gets pretty hot and gets worn the quickest on this track.
These cars don't like to be pushed too hard on corner entry. Get it stopped and pointed in the right direction, then accelerate.

Hey Gents, I'll be joining in on the fun this time around. I bailed the last round when my third child was born. Life is finally getting back to normal. Anyways... I'll probably be posting in the help section quite a bit trying to get back up to speed. I'm looking forward to it  Seb |

This is with the rFantune, two laps, cold tires and I forgot to disengage the TC. I think with a little tuning I can shave 1 to 1.5 seconds easily. Hope this video helps you.
Thank you.

rFantune is Fantomas nack for applying very little changes to a car and having it drive quite well on a track.

Great lap. I am losing a ton of time trying to get through the first chicane. This damn HawksTune just ain't cuttin it.
Take note guys, that hot lap by Fantomas is the perfect way to get through the chicane. Beware not to cut it. It's a tough one.

What is rFantune? Never heard of it and can't find any info on it The rFantune (my creation) is a setup you can apply to any car and works (at least for me). I have a Fantune for Forza and Gt5, I think some Gbr guys used it and worked well on them. The purpose of the Fantune is to avoid the hassle of tuning (this is time consuming), I don't wanna tune for hundreds of laps and then my race end in the first corner, that happen to me once and all time I expended went to the toilet in 1 minute. The Fantune is my solution, I just need arrive an hour before race, drop the tune, make a few laps to know fuel usage and set the gearing and then "voila". I have 3 Fantunes, one for Fwd cars, Rwd and MR cars. |
