dont loose hart i mised the firt two cup racees cos i thought it was undrivabel but the lerning curve is almost vertical and once you can tiptoe the fz around the likes of the lx are somuch more fun. see you at the back of the grid with greek, the cola boys and us BHA.

Hi jaco1981

I wasn't sure if posting my setup is good idea but here it is. I created this very early alpha stage setup after years of absence from LFS so it probably doesn't make much sense... In general I don't like oversteer and try to create rather stable setup then super fast so it might be worth trying. Of course how to set up the car is very personal thing and you may find it worse then yours. As for tyre wear... looking pretty good, they get bit hot (74C) in places on lap 5-8 but on long straights temp drops enough to drive safely. Not sliding is the key for any racing tyre so focus on nice lines, do not go too fast into corners because you will kill these tyres, you have to roll it nicely through apex. It's heavy car, low grip tyres so in long run it will reward you. Whatever you do... try not to slide, lift if you have to but all steering inputs should be smooth and progressive rather then abrupt. Oh yes.. one more thing.. TC is disabled because like The Meister said.. it's slowing you down and isn't really helping too much with stability either. Good luck if you decide to try it though.

Look if you are using a wheel in corners press the throttle smoothly do not just go pedal to the metal or no throttle. also do not turn like an idiot turn smoothly and do not overturn the steering wheel cause you can go wide (See me thanks to mazda i improved ) now i use mouse my throttle and brake input just sucks... you probably use a wheel which means that in braking use half brakes (no lock ups) so not 'pedal to the metal' in brakes, turn the wheel a bit, and the car will go were you want, too much you oversteer/understeer (really not fun) but last PRACTICE PRACTICE and for the throttle go pedal to the metal when you can but not in corner entries/exits/mid-corner except if it is the last chicanes were you go full throttle and last DO NOT FOLLOW RACING LINES THAT GAME GIVE you follow the black things that are actually outside the racing lines (4)
