Time slot #1 (22:00 GMT on Friday)

I have attached a setup for the Mustang GT3 that we can try out.

Schedule: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IX5cGJjivTx_AX4WOEYyJJcGwotPikWwV1mq1uLwy8g/edit?usp=sharing

I ran some laps in the Mustang on this setup. It seems to be quite predictable, no weird quirks so far and handles the curbs just fine. Down side, turn in is only okay, the sound inside is not near as good as it sounds outside, kind of just drones, and it is somewhat difficult to see over the hood. So, I think my initial conclusion is it is okay, not great, not terrible

 

[Deb]

I was running into some oversteer issues in some high speed corners so I thought to try another setup. This one seemed to be more stable, I was a little faster and didn't lose the car. Give it a try an let know what you think.

I will try your setup probably today, Deb. Hopefully it's not slower on the straights, because we are already down about 6 or 7 km/h to the BMWs on the Döttinger.

I like the handling of the Mustang so far, but I think the Porsche Cup is easier to drive. Maybe because I have driven that car more often. Either way, I think we're going to die if it rains

 

[Deb]

To be honest, if it is going to rain, I don't think the Mustang is the right choice as it seems to have a bias to oversteer. I think the Porsche GT3 or the Ferrari will be better in the rain and Skid_Marc_ and I have already driven the Ferrari on a wet track. I have driven it in a lot various wet conditions practicing for NEC. So, I would have more confidence getting it around. But it will be slower than the BMW, although if it rains, not sure how important that difference is. I'll look at the weather forecast today and if it looks like rain, I'll try the Mustang in the rain. Or if you think it would be a better decision to drive the Ferrari, but you find it boring, but a wing 1 on the current setup and have some fun

 

[Deb]

So, from 9 pm to 10 am there are chances of rain from 10% to 25% peaking at 9 am at 25%

The authors of the first setup that I posted updated it. It's now got 3 wing, the longer gear stack and some other tweaks. I think it feels better and a bit more stable on the outlap:

Updated the paint, hope it works as I'm super rusty.

...which sux because I was never all that good in the first place lol.

Please let me know asap if I f'd something up.

Good luck all!!!
