Luv2xLr8 - just rename the sets as you save them...that is what I do.

VH - You mentioned about getting loose late in the run. Do you think it is b/c you have -4 camber on the RF? Every since the patch it seems to me that large neg camber will result in a loose car after the tires wear. FWIW

I don't think so, tire temperatures look OK and I had the same problem with -3°.

Setup is waaayyyy to loose for me. Don't know if I'm over driveing it or what. But there's know way I'll get a 27.7 out of the qual set. Best I can do without spinning out is a 28.5. Thanks for all your hard work though Volker I do appreciate the setup. I just have to figure out a way to tighten it up a bit without sacraficing speed. The set really want's to snap around on me coming into the corner's wich is taboo for me. Is there anything you would suggest?

You have to stabilize the car with the throttle at the turn entries...
I could probably tell you more if you're posting a replay of one or two "typical" spins...

Good point Luv2xLr8. I assumed you checked back every hour like me.

VH - I was thinking more around -1 on the RF camber. If you try that, I'm willing to bet your loose off late will be cured.

Scooter I too was having some problems on entry but I am able to run 28.1s with the qual set. You might want to try moving the brake bias twords 70%. The closer to 60% you can run the better but the car will be way looser under braking at 60% vs. 70%. Once you get the feel for the car you can start to move back to 60%.

Hey VH... this is my first post here.. I've been using ur setups for my last 3 races and each one has gotten my in the top 2... and grab pole 2 of those 3 races. I have to say they all fit my driving style to the max i dunno if i could ask for any better. However ur Phi setups were great. Not lose at all for me and the tire ware on the first set wasn't too good but the updated ones were great. Got 2nd last night but still lead the most laps due to my stupid mistake of hitting a wall lol. VH I would like to give a thanks to you and your great work with these setups and I've already earned the trust in your setups that i don't even need to test them anymore lol. Thanks bro looking forward to next weeks setups..Peace and Happy Racing

VH...My loose entry problem is more so entering T3 when I get on the brakes. The car want's to dart extremly hard to the inside of the corner. I understand the reasoning for this is to get the car turning with as littel steering imput as possibel to make the corner faster but for me it seem's like to much. Sorry
I geuss I need to practice a bunch more at Pheniox.

And rff105 I did move brake byis up to around 65 and that did seem to help. I noticed someone said something about exit late loose. I went up one click on the front sway bar and down to 425 on LR spring and that helped a bunch

Thanks Volker, I downloaded the new one this morning, I felt it was too tight maybe, but actually it was excellent in traffic because of it, and managed to win the AS race. l'll give this looser one a try

When will the truth be revealed? stay tuned for the next time LxMartini shits out of his mouth.

Thanks for the setup Volker. It was really great. I used in my BRSC league race and it got me a 2nd place finish. Very good setup.

Speaking of "keep those great set's coming" do you have anything for Rockingham yet? Even if its in the rough stages still my leage races on Tuesday. Your setups have been great i have practiced all week with others and each week when yours come out I just throw them away. Thanks keep up the great work.

I didn't have a lot of time in the past days, so I won't have a setup I until tomorrow. I just did some laps at The Rock in race trim...first impression: this track really sucks, you'll need very tight race setups again, even worse than at Dover...
