|
track conditions and setups changes |

hello Fellows! |
|
Since I started in rfactor 2, and got some stability, coudn't |
|
find answers to this issue: track conditions and rubber |
|
interfere in setups, is it right? Assuming that, depending on |
|
condition for exemple, I can't get traction in exit corners |
|
(this is my worst problem!). I've tried same setups and driving |
|
styles in different servers and track situations, different time |
|
scales, and there is a big impact on my laptimes, tyre wear and |
|
performance, being hard to improve stability. The point is: What |
|
are the main changes in setups to do in order to reach the best |
|
performance for determined track situation, especially to gain |
|
traction (fast exit) in exit corners and improve overall? |
|
thanks! |

I'm sure there are drivers that approach this more analytically |
|
as you do. I wanted to answer something so I'm here to tell that |
|
I haven't ever really noticed track conditions to play a part in |
|
my setup tweaks. I'm sure I should adjust brake bias on the fly |
|
for example as track conditions change, but all I ever do, tbh, |
|
is to aim for a good balance and not modify anything on the fly. |
|
I usually know what I want my car to do so I'm looking for that |
|
sweet spot and after I get near it's all about improving my |
|
driving and consistency to improve my laptime. |
|
I could try to help you but I would be just guessing the |
|
answers... I assume you can improve traction with lower ride |
|
height and softer suspension at rear and generally having a |
|
stable car at exits. |

Thanks Tig_green! |
|
How do you do this changes in braking balance? I mean, what |
|
motive leads you to change braking balance depending of track |
|
surface? Is it high temps? high or low rubber? The only idea i |
|
have about brake balance is dependant of my rear or front tyres |
|
loosing grip in turn in. Maybe i'm wrong, correct me if needs. |
|
thank you very much for time! |

Paulo, |
|
I don't have any answers for you. But I understand what you are |
|
asking. |
|
We always seem to have setup guides based on how the car is |
|
behaving. (like the one I have attached here) |
|
I have never seen a setup guide based on track conditions. |
|
It would make sense that there could be rules of thumb for track |
|
changes like track temperature and amount of rubber. But I |
|
haven't seen any yet. |
|
Paul |
