Hopefully an old school F1 car on a modern classic track is a little more popular haha!

      My vote would be mid lap personally. I don’t use it often but sometimes it’s nice.

        I feel like this car needs to go up or down a percentage here and there. Like down a bit before the bus stop and La source and then back up for the twisty bits after kemmel.

          Yeah it could use a bit of adjustment here and there, I’ll have to mess around a bit with it next session!

          My main issue with the car is I prefer very pointy cars especially on initial turn in and this car is not that by default. But it’s manageable and fun at least.

            Put in a car and track suggestion, or vote for one that suits your style.

            I’m hoping for something more pointy. I’d be happy if we end up with the Lotus Exos as Hungary as already suggested.

              This is a pretty good combo imo, I think most car default setups won’t suit most peoples styles but that’s okay. Makes the adaptability aspect of it more fun.

              I’ll see if I can think of a game/car/track combo to suggest for the next round. I’m just happy to be hot lapping!

                Yeah, that’s what I was aiming for with the fixed setups. I’m all for seeing who is best at “run what you’ve brung” vs who can optomize a setup best over the course of a couple of weeks.
