For me, these cars are some of the most fun.  You just have to get to know the limits... they need a bit of finesse.

Love flying around corners at warp speed though.  The down-force is great. :)

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.

C`....MONEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY........yyyyyyyyy.....I love you bird

Decided to actually spend some time comparing setups between mine (lame), Guy's and Bacchulum's (NotePad++ is awesome for it)

Very interesting between the 2... I am looking forward to giving them both a run tonight...

Sadly (not really) I have cracked a nice bottle of wine so I'm not expecting PB's but time in seat will help  ;D

I like the car too. It's fast, yet still can slide. I've done a 2:07.xxx with Bacchulum's setup.

Bird, are you using the DRS?

No worries, Krahl. Good luck with the move.

Wow can't get much different setups...

Guybrush -  I was just loose as... twitched too much on a corner and I was gone... spinning away... though it did feel fast when I could keep it on the track... just my driving ability couldn't consistently do it...  :-\

Bacchulum - Seemed to suit me more... It was more forgiving... I did improve my PB, so pretty stoked  ;D

Anything but the Spa setup would have been before the physics changes and probably isn't quite right now.  Just to let you know.

I find Guy's setups loose at the best of times. I wasn't even game to try his in this car.

Yeah I tend to agree Wally, GB's got the mad skills to get the best out of a car (and congrats on the WR on RSR duuude!! :) ) but my skills need a bit more of a conservative approach... work with what ya got  :D

To be honest if I jumped straight into one of my set ups I would struggle as well,  but I guess as I tweak the set ups over time I adjust my driving.
