Volker,

I've used a couple of your setups before and found them very good, though I do prefer to make my own, I got a long way to go to get your understanding

Anyway, I've taken your Las Vegas and changed it to work with Rockingham UK. As it's your original set, I thought I'd better give it back to you as it was your great work that got me a good set for my forthcoming race. Thanks very much for the great work and sharing of your hard work and knowledge

**J_Gordon24** · 12-31-2003, 04:12 AM

Thanks again volker... How do we know when you update your setups? I noticed a little arrow thing and this thread was spaced different.. is that how we know?

**Volker Hackmann** · 12-31-2003, 12:54 PM

When I update a setup, I post an announcement in the respective thread...

**B_C** · 01-02-2004, 05:18 AM

Your setups are so comfortable and balanced, they are great to drive. No more hanging on for the first few laps! Thanks for the great work.

**matxer** · 01-02-2004, 06:49 PM

Great setup, for sure.
I adjusted your R setup for 40F cloudy and ran 176.572 mph !!! 13th BLAP at N03Rank. YES !

**Volker Hackmann** · 01-24-2004, 01:30 PM

UPDATE
I loosened both setups a little by moving weight back (only a click). They're not really faster, but they won't push that badly if you don't hit the line perfectly.

Thanks for the great sets Volker. I set the pole and won my Saturday Morning Vegas race with your set. I have a few other sets of yours I have done well with. Your setups seem to fit my driving style on speedways and have helped me with tire management [someting I struggle with as a new driver] Thanks again. Your hard work is appreciated and not taken for granted.

Warmly,

UPDATE
I adjusted the race setup's gearing as the engine was getting too hot.

**Sebastian Schmalenbach** · 02-22-2004, 10:05 PM

nice dude

**Derek_Wood** · 02-24-2004, 09:43 AM

Volker, what is your email? The one on this site doesn't appear to be working.

**Volker Hackmann** · 02-24-2004, 05:36 PM

I just changed it in my user's profile, you're right, the old one hasn't worked for some weeks now and I forgot to replace it in this forum.

**jtflo** · **Changes for BGN -** 02-24-2004, 11:39 PM

What changes would you recommend for this set to be converted for BGN?

**Volker Hackmann** · 02-25-2004, 12:01 AM

I haven't driven the BGN more than once and not at Las Vegas...
I guess all you have to adjust is the gearing (higher diff ratio) and maybe you can raise the track bar a little or move weight back, not sure about that.

**jtflo** · 02-25-2004, 12:36 AM

Thanks! I will mess with those settings. If I come up with anything significant I will let you know. Thanks for the help.

**Volker Hackmann** · 02-25-2004, 05:09 PM

UPDATE
I tightened the race setup (the good old backdraft problem again...)

and changed my driving technique: no braking until the tires are worn and the car doesn't turn anymore.

**Brian B#116** · 02-25-2004, 09:21 PM
