Generic Weekly Hotlap #38 - Turbo Panzer

2:21:407 ps4

 

Nothing too drastic, I just lowered the front bump one click, rear rebound one click more, front antiroll bar two clicks less and the rear one one click more, and I increased the front camber a little too, 3 clicks I think.
For tyres I increased preassure 1 psi at the front, and 4 at the rear ones.

 

I'm twice at the list.still cant make it to the high-bottom

 

New improved setup, I'm having fun exploring it. What time do you get with it?

 

completely lost in the setups.....
had a good time with my first setup - gears shorter, pressure lowered a little, turb0 80%
tried some total different things, tried mr deaps setup and now i totally lost the feeling for the car.
2:19-2:21, cant go faster
frustrating....grmbl......

 

Very easy to get lost, just go back to default and run a few laps.

Ask yourself what you don't like about the car and then what needs to be done to fix it. Try to ignore stuff that you can't do so much about like deploying a spikey 1200+ BHP through the rear wheels

 

thats my problem - i cant get the feeling even with my old setup. crazy stuff atm. totally lost relation to the panzer....

think its part of the learning process....

but thank you for the help, gravel

 

Not so serious lap.

 

If I do a fastest lap I save the setup WK38a, I then modify the set-up and create a b version if I go faster. means if I make the set-up worse I can revert back to a previous "known good" one

I'm not good at spa. I lifted the rear height & also reduce the rear spring from the previous setup. It allow more downforce from the front lip & floor. I suppose it also help from getting more negative camber for the front.

What I find weird is the caster isn't changing from the height setting.

 

Is there anyway to create front downforce on this car without the aero ?
Even with low turbo the car shoots out to the left or right and feels uncontrollable at times.
I’ve tried it with 10% -50% turbo but then the car isn’t fast enough to get a good lap.

 

You could lower the front or raise the rear ride height.

It's not creating downforce, but I found stiffening front springs and softening the front rollbar was the biggest help before I adjusted aero.

Carrying the brake further into the corner to get it to turn helps too.

My 2:13 was at 80% turbo, because at 90 & 100 it kept coming up with the damage indicator, which caused a brief but very distracting glitchy frame rate.

 

Thanks I’ll give that a try

Thanks @Daniel Perez. I've made similar adjustments with the antiroll bars and camber, but haven't touched the dampers or tyre pressures - I look forward to giving these a try. I somehow don't think I'll be anywhere near your time, but if it helps wrestle this beast round the corners I'll be happy .

It was good to read your tips on driving style with this car - patient in the turns, floor it down the straights. It makes total sense, but when you're used to driving modern cars with a more balanced chassis (and less power) this kind of approach isn't always obvious.

On my setup, the front is actually very soft. Stiff front didn't work for me, as it can't floor it without losing control.

It has a tad bit of positive toe to heat the front tyre & positive toe in the back for the turbo kicking at the straight line. Max camber for both front & rear.
