The race setup is also included in the zip file, it's called "VH2 Vegas R 70F".

VH

I've hit a problem. I'm really heating up the RF and RR. The inside and middle of the RF is hitting 250 and it is starting to kill me. I can run 30.1 and 30.2 at start of the run but it is burning up my RF. My RF turns yellow on lap 28. I know that you said you would like to keep the RF temp around 230. I view your 5 lap replay you posted, thank you very much BTW, and I can't quite run the same line you can and keep the same time. It feels a bit tight. Which is probably why I'm putting so much heat in my RF. Any suggestions on how to take the burden off the RF and move it to another tire.

Thanks.

30.1? You mean 31, don't you?
I suppose you're just rolling into the turn a little too fast and you get back on the throttle too early, which means that you "drive on the right front tire". But it doesn't make you faster as you probably go a longer way around the corner. Please post a few race laps (3-5 maybe), I think that'll help to find the mistake very quickly.
Btw, at 70°F, I can hardly keep the RF tire at 230°F, only if people around me start very slowly as well. 235°F is a more realistic value.

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

Yes that would be 31.1 and 31.2. I viewed your replay and I tried to keep the same throttle points that you do. I'll post a 5 lap replay and let you have a look. Thanks.

Very nice setup, I tried this one because I was having trouble with the expert setup. It was fast, stable and had long green runs.

Just felt great to drive, thanks alot.

@ Atomic:
I hope that I'll find some time to start working on a Darlington setup this afternoon or tomorrow. If I do, I'm posting it at the weekend or at the beginning of next week.
