48.2 (or better) setup for Daytona COT

[unstoppable4ce]

Ok guys here is the setup I said I would post. This isnt the setup I currently use, but it is a very good beginner setup and will give you the opportunity to win; including ranked races. This will average 48.2 in Q-fying, but I have ran as low as 48.066 with it.

This is how I used to set my car up for 8-10 lap races. The setup is quick, and VERY tight. Having a tight car is usually better than a loose car at Daytona.

MAKE SURE YOU PRACTICE WITH THIS SETUP. Since it is tight, you want to make sure to find the right line. But you should be readily available to take bumps in the draft and be able to hold the bottom line.

Its also not a bad idea to take your Linearity/Responsiveness settings down to 70/30.

Here you go...

BASIC- Leave the same. NEVER TOUCH THE BASIC SETTINGS.

Hope that helps you guys. Many experienced racers might say that the gear differential is too low and the 4th gear is too high. But, this is an excellent setup to start with. If you get the hang of this setup and want to be faster, make your differential a little higher and 4th gear a little lower.

Experiment with the gears. I am currently running a 3 gear setup with an optional 4th gear. Basically, on 8 lap Daytona races, I can run 95% tape. My 3rd gear is perfect- but it does have a high RPM number, which means the engine temp goes up. So I run my 3rd gear on the first lap, run 4th gear (lower RPM's) on laps 2-6 and I run my 3rd gear again on laps 7&8. Experiment in practice a little and you might be able to surprise yourself.

Hmm this setup is faster than mines by a bit. Gonna combine the data from both and try and get faster speeds. Thanks.

Hope it works for ya man.

Anyone else tried it? Thoughts?

Give me until tomorrow and I will let you know what I think..

I tried it. It was decent, but I don't like the gearing. I played with the gears and took a tenth of a second off my lap time.

[unstoppable4ce]

Yeah the gearing diff is a little low. This was the first setup I ever used. Its awesome for beginners, but I quit using it a while ago. My fastest time in Q-fying with this setup was 48.033 and now my fastest is 47.833 (I cut pit road on the 2nd one)

[chadwicksracing]

Hey ace I tried her out, I didn't like it very much. Too tight! So I make my own and I was able to get 47.800 out of it. I would be happy give my information out in a testing session with you.

P.S. I am not ready to post it on the website because it still needs a little fine tuning.

[unstoppable4ce]

ok next time im on ill try and remember that. Like I said before, its not the setup i currently use. Its an excellent setup for beginners to use though. Cures that jittery thumb for sure. I had it set tight so i could hold my line well.

Eventually I might post up the setup Im using now.

I'll try and catch you when youre on. If you want to send me a friend invite my GT is unstoppable 4ce (duh haha)
