Notes
I used this setup for the Formula GT race at Sarthe. 181 A-spec points. Not overly fast... but fast enough to beat the PD formula cars by 10 seconds. Had to pit in at the end of every four laps but...so did they. Easy to drive setup. NTCS version/DS2.

Didn't try on RSH. And no, this was not max hp as there was no turbo stage added or any other engine improvements purchased. Stock HP.

This is probably a stupid question but what is RSH?

(RSH)For some reason I couldn't see that. With the LSD Acc. on 60 does that help with tire wear? I've never tried that high of a setting.

Theoretically...yes, because a higher setting reduces wheel spin. It allows you to set the traction control as low as possible without the dreaded wheel spin common to the higher hp LMP cars on the second gear corners at Sarthe (Mulsanne corner/ Arnage).

I usually do the exact opposite,Max out TCS and minimize LSD for endurance races. In your opinion which way do you think is better, especially for endurance races? Thanks for any advice.

I prefer to run low TCS because it slows the top speed of the car down considerably. As far as tyre wear goes I find that the rubber seems to go a lot further in A-spec mode regardless of either setting. I dont run many races in B-Spec because of the slow AI driver performance and the need to pit in for rubber more frequently. Even on cruise or slow down the B-spec mode will only save half a lap or so of tyre wear. This is especially evident at the "Ring" where the B-spec driver can shred a set in half a lap or less starting at the yellow wear point.

Ok that does make sense.I'll try that and see if I get any better tire wear or if the car handles any better.I appreciate the advice Ravenmaven,BTW does that name have any particular meaning?

Ravenmaven is my username at the "Madden Nation" site. When I play Madden NFL I use the Baltimore Ravens as my team. I happen to use that title at other sites as well.

Cheers.
