I think it was VH who said optimum RPM's for GNS is around 7800 or so. In qualifying 6.333 gearing will work, but I believe the engine wouldn't last long in a race.

So - based on that, I set the differential down to 5.8 which seems about right as I peak right at 8000 before braking for the corners.

You also didn't mention the weather conditions.

I also noticed the RF temp wasn't very high, and that's unusual for me because I'm ALWAYS burning up RF's. The temp seems a bit low, so I'm going to play with the PSI and see if I can't heat that up some.

Now my question is - can you turn 20.3's consistantly? That's the key.
Okay thanks about the rews issue. I dident know that, i just installed this mod som weeks ago. But i have actually start wondering about it.
The weather was clear 70 and ill do 20.7 consistantly for 20 laps anyway. But thats is probably too slow.
Its gonna be so much yellows so i so far hasnt bother about longer stint . The tyre temp is too low, i know, but before i wanted to startet with pressure adjustment i wait for weather info for the comming race.

But keep on bring the tips, ill really appreciate it
