I'm surprised you don't have a 'subterranean' ride height in these Guy, it works the diffuser very well. ;)

Running with DRS open makes my setup very unstable, so any major bumps cause a spin.  If there was no DRS I would run it a lot lower, but at the moment I use DRS through Eau Rouge, the second part of Puhon, and through the last right hander coming onto the blanchimont straight.

If you go to 1:45 in this vid you can see how the F1 cars bottom out through eau rouge:

I use DRS in all those places too (and a few others), with a 4 rear wing. ;)
I was surprised how touchy your set is with the wing. ???

That's with a 44mmF : 60mmR ride height
(you need some rake to not stall the diffuser)

I'll have to give that a try.  Normally I don't raise the rear too high as it shifts the centre of gravity forward making the rear a bit too light.

The rear wing could be reduced but rear wing is only relative to front wing.  You could have a rear wing of 10 and it would still be loose if the front wing was 0.

I think I run a 9 or 11 front wing but it's still understeery.
I'm just using DRS mid corner to balance it out.

Would you guys mind running ptracker so we can see your splits on stracker for the practise server? Not a problem if you don't like ptracker but would be nice.

ie here

http://54.66.161.14:8080/lapstat

BTW there are 170 laptimes set last time I looked!!

Not sure if it was coincidence but when I ran ptracker my system started to chug so I got rid of it.  You can see my splits on RSR though.

Not a problem. I think that happened to some. Didn't for me but I turned off the other similar apps.

Nice lap Simone.

I wish I could upload faster than 80 Kb/s... I'd put up a lap myself.

I wish you could see the rear wing open when DRS is activated, they have other animations (ie. damage). :-\

Here is a hotlap which is 2:00:2.  I put the pedal app on so you can see what I'm doing downstairs.  I didn't quite take T1 as I normally would have (was actually checking something else as I entered it).

Youtube turns all my videos into blurry pieces of crap though, so apologies.

I've run a few test laps, and I find the car worse than the last round. 
What sort of car is this? Where does it run?  It feels really touchy. 

With Guy's set all I could do was spin everywhere,  Bacchulum's was much nicer - after raising the power diff to around 70 and moving the brakes to 53.   Still, I can't comprehend the speed you guys are getting, I was over 2:10 and really disinclined to practice; these cars are not fun for me.
