I often go wide on turn 1 and even though it seems I'm only just off I'm still getting a warning. I guess it's because the area of concrete outside of the kerb is not considered track, whereas in Spa for example the green part outside of the kerb is considered track.

I don't really know how to do setups Thanks, send me a PM or something Logged If you’re in control, you’re not going fast enough. – Parnelli Jones marty Hero Member Posts: 3747 Karma: -63 Re: S7R8: Donington Park GP Pre-Race Chat « Reply #18 on: July 14, 2015, 12:35:42 PM » Quote from: Benana101 on July 14, 2015, 11:47:27 AMHey guys, I was just wondering if anyone has a setup for the La Ferrari. I don't really know how to do setups Thanks, send me a PM or somethingI can post my setup here later but basically in the lafa I just max front negative camber, make the front toe in a bit. Rear camber is the tricky one as more rear neg camber helps get out of the faster corners while less helps on the slower ones at the end of the lap. Either way hurts one and helps the other type of corner so you need to try and sort out what compromise you want.Pressures I think I was running about 27 front 26 rear, going too low on front was loosing temp and getting a bit of understeer.Other then that you will need to work out how much fuel you need and come up with a pitstop strategy. Good idea to jump on the practice server and at least run one longer stint as fuel use and wear is at a higher rate for this race.

I dont use TC but do use ABS, if you find the rear a bit too loose on throttle out of the sweeping corners add some more rear camber as I reduced it a bit to get better exits out of the hairpins but its quite slippy at other parts of the track.

I managed a one in a million lap and got a 1.24.6, but otherwise most other laps are a lot slower.Might have to take a few risks to be able to pass in the P1 around here.
