Hi Tyr13
this setup is interresting but when testing it I have been confronted to a noticeable understeering.
I have adjusted ASM : understeering =10 and oversteering=1
My laptime on Tsukuba dropped for 2.1s to the best lap I made from several with your original setup
This works with almost every car...

then I have also slightly changed your gearbox setting, widening the ratios It makes shifting fewer times per lap. with an engine full of torque like this one in middle revs, it helps

Last, I use R5 Tyres

Can you compare 2 laptimes, one with your setup and one with the adjustments I made and feed me back.
I 'd like to know if this kind of ASM setup typicaly fits only my driving style or if its more universal

I never use the ASM. I like my car to feel realistic. As for the tires. None of the races you can use this car in allow higher than sport tires. That why I used them in the setup & the gearing can be adjusted for the track you are on.

If you dont like the way I drive. Stay off the sidewalk.

Ok, gave it a try. I found that for my driving style it over steers a bit to much & with R5 tires you have to pit way to much. I suggest that if you are going to use racing tires with this car. Use R3's in the front & R2's in the rear. It allows you to go much further between pits without losing to much grip.

I dont use the streering wheel, just the regular controller. So I tend to brake at the last second using the brakes to help me turn. Of course the lap times are much faster with the R5's on the car. Hope you enjoyed the setup. You are correct, this will work with most cars.

I like your approach (more authentic than my one !)
i 'm more a "top performance die hard" and i cant find satisfying races in this game; this setup is first designed for one shot laps. for racing I 100% agree with you about tyres.

I'm also using the DS2 controller, and i mostly use the brake setting to secure the handling and avoid spinning when breaking late after high speed sections.(rear brake has to be max around 1/3 front brake setting)
to illustrate this test in Le Mans you are almost allwaysl in a big mess if you are over that value in Dunlop chicane, Mulsane straight end corner or Indianapolis right. the same in Fuji and many others.
Your brake setup is efficient in circuit like Tsukuba, Monaco...

finally i have tested your super Bee setup. take a look on the feedback i'll send you

Glad you enjoyed the setup on this and the Super Bee. If you enjoyed these you should check out the 54 Vette. That car works great for the Euro 1000 Miles series.
