[MinDer K.]

---

I tested your setup Minder and it feels a lot better than the almost stock setup that I had. Longer smoother gears that were a better fit for the corners, much more stable over bumps. I didn't manage to improve on my PB but was very close. I am sure I would have with less fuel in the tank.

 Indeed, the main goal of this setup was to have a more stable car, not necessery the fastest but easy to run 1h whithout sweating too much.
Some braking wasn't a straight line and as you said, there're many bumps. I don't like when the car is too rigid, I prefer feel the suspensions' work and play with the overall balance. I opened rear toe for more stability in corner's entry and exit and front toe too for a less reactive direction; I have too turn a bit more the wheel, but it means more precision too.
Gearbox setting's goal was to keep both hands on the wheel in corners and I think it would be better if 2nd and 3rd were a bit longer

My pit stop strategy in the race was to use an even amount of fuel before and after pit, so I started out with 70 liters after some quick calculations in my head. I had about 6-8 liters left when I pitted and put 68 liters more in it to be on the safe side.

Was it just me that had virtually no wear on the tires in the 917 K? One tire got down to 99%, but that was it. It could be RaceEssentials that shows the wrong number since it's not being updated properly anymore, but I got the newest version today from  here: http://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index....4-5.41103/

 Setup was made with full tank and I started like that. I knew I could run 27+ laps but I wasn't sure about tyres wear. I refueled 52 liters, the minimum to finish.
Refuel in pretty long (twice the time of changing tyres yesterday), starting full makes the car a bit harder due to wheight but since setup was with a full tank, I was used to it.
When gas tank was almost empty, the car was faster (less weight = shorter braking and faster corners) but became tricky in the first part of the track despite tyres looked fine.

The race was long and the 917 requieres constant attention to stay on track but it was a real joy to race on Riverside, had a big smile all along ; Gears was on my tail for a long time, adding pressure on turn's enties but some mistakes increased the gap between us, allowing me to breath and be focused on driving. Not sure I would have resisted more laps like that.
It was nice to see the RSR have hard battles too, nice race guys

I would love to see videos of people trying out cars they don't know, go for a few laps, then adjust the setup while they explain what they adjust and what they think it will do to the car, then go for more laps to feel the difference. More adjustments with explanations, more driving and so on.. I think for me that would make it all click much more than just read some articles on setup and try to mess around with it but end up with something that is worse than stock in the end.

My setup for the RSR as well..

Major changes were:
- slightly lower tire pressure for more grip and more camber to heat up the front tires more and increase grip
- more camber at the rear for a bit more stability
- a stiffer (but still comfortable) front than rear, softened both front and rear bump and rebound (very important)
- increased front ARB and decreased rear to cope with the bumps and bumpy kerbs (very important)
- stiffened front springs for more direct response
- I think I didn't touch the diff (mainly controls turning in and how quick the car will spin on throttle or how much it'll lose through the diff if you go for safer values) and am sure I didn't change the brake settings

Makes for a very stable car compared to the stock setup, especially noticeable on the banking onto the main straight and the first couple of fast corners, as well as the quick elevation changes that also have braking zones.

Also fixed that you couldn't upload .ini files..
