Bristol like Martinsville? - Setup-Guru Forum

Hi!
...first, thanks for the site and setup! It's always great.

Second... I've a question on Bristol. I don't have any setup for this short track, and I'll run a race on next week. A setup for Martinsville is a good start point to have a honest setup for Bristol?

I think I'll try to tune the Volker's setup for Martinsville for Bristol.

Stop me if I wrong!

Another question: what are the most important factor to tune a car for this short track (always Bristol),?

Thanks you all and ciao!
Carlo

Imo the Marty setup won't work at all...
Maybe you could try a pre-patch Bristol setup and tweak it...I mean set RF camber to about -2°, stiffen the front springs, maybe use softer rear springs and you'll probably need more front weight. My pre-patch Bristol setup can be found here if you want to give it a try.

No, it won't work, sorry Carlos, the only thing those 2 tracks have in common are distance.

Try a pre-patch setup or build off of, Mesa Marin, I-70, those tracks.

Maybe even Dover!

Thanks Volker and Nicholas. I download the pre-patch setup of Volker and I'll try to tune it.

I'll tell you in some days how it works.

...but I'm not a expert, so... we'll see what I'll be able to do.

Thanks!
Carlo

ps: Volker, are you programming to race soon again in CIN? If yes your're welcome! Same for Nicholas, of course. Bye!
