Aspen,
here is my feedback after testing your setup.
your car can be fast, however, with such stiff spring rates and low ride height any slight mistake and the car is likely to spin.

With the minimal downforce, I found I could not hold the car on the track at corners where I would normally have kept the accelerator flat out. This affected overall lap times.

Try reducing rear spring rates to start off with.
And add an explanation on how you got those gear figures. It took me a while to figure it out.

Hey fumes, glad you responded, I think that makes the race challange worth while.

I figured the spring rates where too high, as I already posted on your set. Conformation is nice however. I never spun this car out did you? To me I realized a little more weight transfer to the front while braking would be helpfull.

The downforce we already discussed, I agree with you to a point but with a lot of straights to deal with and limited horse I didn't want to use to much.

The gears are different, sorry about that if it took too much time to get them. Lets see if I remember: final to 5.00, auto to 3, than final to 4.47, adjust the rest from there. It takes a cool part of the tunning game out of the equation, how suspension settings respond as you go from low rpm high torque to high rpm high hp. Like the difference between a harley and a ninja?

I'm too busy with the ff at the moment.....

I did !
Humming along nicely, and clipped the ripple strip on a corner and SWISH around she went.
That's classic indication of too much spring tension. It will also mean, weight transfer is severely affected, during both braking and acceleration. In other words, mechanical grip is lacking.

Thats because your to damn fast! Evil, the springs are too stiff.

Max speed in the last chicane before the start streight is how you killed my second lap, I messed with the down force, springs, and gears a little to obtain a high speed into the first right and lowered my cup time. I'm keeping my settings post the same as changing after the race doesn't make since to me. Thanks to testing the other 2 and your input I did lower my times a fair amount.
