09. Car Set-up [SET]
===============================================================================
Car set-ups that can be used in Championship and Training Mode are listed
below.
The presented set-ups may or may not work for everyone, depending on driving
style, level of concentration and the TC/SC/ABS ratio you decide to apply, I
used these settings without driving ads and racing with Logitech G25 racing
wheel.
I often used the qualifying setting also for the race, only changing tyres
compound and the engine mapping for more control of the car.
* Tyre compound vary related to race length and weather condition.
