Dave, what's your average lap time (estimate)?

Mikhael,
Try this for a Medium setup. I tried to dial as much push out
of it as I could without making it too loose. Takes about a lap
or two to come in then it seems to be fine. It's got more top
end than the default Medium DF due to a lot less wing.

I'll give it a try and compare to my LDF configuration. I've
already given it a bit of a run and yes, it's pushy. Also, LDF
cars will be catching you hand over fist on the straights, and
I'm not sure if you will be able to gain that time in the
corners :-/

Thanks Eric and Sergey for your sets, will do a lot of practice
tonight and Friday morning. Let me know which set you prefer
Eric.

Segey - was doing 1:52's yesterday doing 1:53's today - going
backwards but the tyres remain pretty constant and getting
quicker towards the end of the stint. Mainly concentrating on
keeping it clean. Looks like there's going to be a lot of GTs.
So avoiding contact is going to be as important as lap times (I
hope - because my lap times aren't great).

I agree Dave, keeping it clean for as long as possible will win
you the race, I'm not caring about lap times that much, just
praying we don't get damage but it's gonna be intense working
traffic so... we'll see

Dave, it's a good thing that lap times are better towards the
end of stint. I always run into an issue where at first lap
times are good but when the tank is lean and lap times should be
nice and fast, they aren't because tires bit the dust.
I'll try to run a few stints, see how it goes.

I just put in a few practice laps, was doing 1:51.5's
consistently. Not more than .2 seconds from best of 1:51.5. I
can only assume it'll get better but I don't have time right now
to put in a full stint, will do it tomorrow.
Yes, it might not be a fast setup, but if it is consistent and
no surprises, I'm happy. Speed alone doesn't win endurance
races, so I'll leave the "going fast" to the fast people and
we'll be consistent. Dave, don't worry about your lap times bro.
Just tell me if you're not comfortable with the setup, and see
if you can find something you do like. Often the first few laps
won't be your fastest or most stable because tires are getting
up to temps but that's part of starting a stint. It's not just
"my way or no way" here, we're a team :)

I'm happy with the setup, seemed a bit wacky to start with, but
Ive got used to it and wouldn't really change anything. Just
find that you have to be gentle in the first 10 laps or so and
that way it doesn't fall apart in the last 10 laps.
Getting excited now. ;D

I usually get it up to speed on the 3rd or 4th lap
