Bristol Night Revamped 1.1 (Normal Banking) - Setup-Guru Forum

**Brad H** · 08:24 AM

Hi All,

After a fair bit of coaching from Volker in another thread (thanks Volker!), here is my qualifying and race setup (Cup) for Bristol Night Revamped 1.1 (Normal Banking).

My best race laps are 0.3 slower than on the regular Bristol using Volker's setup (16.4 cf 16.1 - I know not overly quick on either, but I don't believe this is the fault of the setup

).

Tires wear a little faster than the regular Bristol, and a better driver may be able to adjust the weight back one click to reduce the pressure on the RF.

Cheers

Brad

I adjusted the weight back two clicks for a looser feeling, great setup for clear, however, I'm having a heck of a time trying to set up for cloudy, I have absolutley no grip and spin the wheels off 2,4 everytime no matter how tight I try to make it.

Illmortal,

Glad you like the setup! I have posted about 7 setups and this is the first feedback I have had. I just assumed that nobody liked them and wasn't going to post any more. If someone likes the setup, then I guess it makes it worthwhile posting! I will try 2 clicks back on the weight and see how it works for me - the weight was a lot further forward than I would normally have, but this made it fairly stable.

I have been busy with work and haven't done any setup work for a month or so, but if I get a chance I will look at Cloudy setup. In the interim, I would suggest doing a comparison of Volker's Clear and Cloudy setups for the normal Bristol track, and trying similar adjustments to what he has made.

Cheers

Brad

I didn't run a lot of laps with this, but it seemed to work fairly well at 70deg cloudy. I put the weight back 1 click, small adjustment to the diff, and increased the rear spring split by 50lb (LR up 1 click, RR down 1 click).

Enjoy.

Hi All,
There is a new version of Bristol Night Revamped out. The setups here are for the 2007 version, not the recently released 2008 version.
Cheers

Hi Brad,
I used your setup in my league race. first of all i took 4th, so that says something. The set was stable and fast was mainly inpressed with stable it took the bump in T2 very well and rotated in the apex well.
I will look for more of you sets you said you posted 7 and give them a try.

Hi SS55

Glad you like the setup. If you race one of the updated Las Vegas tracks with the increased banking, I have posted setups for Las Vegas 2006 (from memory 2007 has the same grip etc settings so this will work for that one too) and Las Vegas 08 AKM. Las Vegas 08 AKM has more realistic grip levels than the high grip earlier versions.

Generally, I prefer Volker's setups to anything I have been able to come up with myself, so really only post setups he hasn't posted for. However, if you do race offline then I have posted setups for some of the "non cup" tracks, like the PWF tracks, Coca Cola, Hillside, Nashville SS, Lafayette, Rio, Indy Banked & Pikes Peak. I think I have now posted about 14 in total, although some of the earlier ones need updating (I ran some laps on Pikes Peak PWF the other day, and it needs a lot of work!). I will review some of the other older setups when I have time to see if I have learn't anything since I made them!!

Thanks again for the feedback.

Cheers

Brad
