I have the Red Momo wheel and bought the Act Labs performance peddals to use. What a difference they made. The only problem I found was that because I set the momo peddals to the side, they have to be attached or nothing works, and use the act labs I can't use the Logitech profiler program. So I went with RBJoy instead and everything works great now. Thanks for the great setups VH they work wonders like always.

UPDATE
I went back to 55% brake bias (in order to avoid locking up the tires entering turn 3) and loosened the qual setup.

I've tested some 50% races with the AI on the BR version of the track and my best qualifying time was like 21.147 and the race times during the first 10 laps was like 21.3-21.4. I supose RichmondBR is faster than the normal version that comes with the game?
I also experienced some overheating problems after like 10 laps, the AI was set to 100%, 70F clear no wind.

Yep, all the BR tracks have way too much grip, so they're faster.

Your setup was great for me, as always, but in my case too good!
In my online race everyone else braked so soon into the corners that I had to also, (well okay, I tagged and spun out 2 guys!)

Volker, I know it's been said many times already, but I wanted to thank you for the many fine setups you have made available to the N 2k3 community. This is one of a couple of sites I concider ot be of the best for setup help. Thank you again for the hard work and quality setups.

At RichmondBR, i'm bottoming out in the middle of turn 1 and 2, i know you don't run the BR tracks, but is there anything I can do to keep it from bottoming out without screwing up the handling. Awesome setup by the way. Made a few changes to get it going on BR, down into 20.8's in race setup.

i won the cup race at WWW.bdrmotorsports.com on the br track and just changed the brake bias which is the first thing i have to change on the vh sets but otherwise it was a richmond br winner outta the box.



trying different lines might help the bottoming out problem or different breaking points.
thanks vh

First of all, try increasing the front ride height to 5.50 / 6.00 inches. If that doesn't help, stiffen the front springs as well.

What changes did you do? I think i have to change the gear ratio a bit.

Do you have a cloudy set for Richmond ? I have been working with your set for about 1 week and although I run the same times you guys are running at 70F and clear I am just wondering if I am missing something.
