Slower Drivers

Hey fella's, there is a defining gap between the grid in pace
and too try and get everyone on a level playing field and make
the racing more competitive, could the faster guys share their
knowledge of set ups with us slower drivers?? :-[
Then it becomes a question of the drivers ability. ::)
I know myself that I am always a sec or 2 off the pace and over
the course of 30 to 35 laps it becomes quite a margin and that's
not taking into consideration any carnage that might take place.
Obviously drivers like Moss for example are just better at it
than others but at least we might be able to keep in touch and
maybe we might see some different names on the podium, maybe.
:P
It doesn't have to be open discussions, just a little help on
the side. :-X
So if you can help it would be much appreciated. ;D ;D ;D
Cheers.
GAZZA.

Only way to shorten the gap would be to do the one shot qualy
with no setups & shorten the race length to 20%.
Drew already said he didn't want this.
Other than that here is a set-up guide:

Meh, all my earlier grumblings/complaints/bitching is pretty
much thrown out the window Livo, as the league is completely
different now than it was when we started.
I do know that we need to try something different for sure. I've
had it in my gut ever since Christmas break that this league is
going to fizzle and that feeling hasn't changed.

Thanks Livo, that's a big help for me and definitely a more
positive outlook than some. ::)
Cheers mate. ;D ;D ;D

Well in my opinion that format would help the league. Have 2
races instead of just the one which would mean a quicker season.
The season wouldn't then be dragging on. With 2 races there is
also the opportunity of finishing the night on a high still if
you crash, dsc, have a shocker in the 1st race. Sucks having to
wait a whole week to try & get another shot at a result (in my
case a month :'().
Set up the championship table with only your best 15 results &
that will also help bring the field closer for the guys that
can't make certain nights. Would make the championship more
exciting IMO.
Feel free to reject my ideas, it wouldn't be the 1st time. ;D

Your welcome Gazza.
I'm waiting with anticipation for Moss's help & opinion on
set-ups.
His set-up guide might be a lot more helpful.

I don't know Gary, quit putting the spotlight on me >:(
I will say this though, that setup honestly is not a big factor
in this game....it's gonna help you along a little bit but
Striker and I tried at least a dozen or more different things to
setup in Barcelona over the 3 weeks break that we had and we
were able to put up times not more than .5sec apart. This game
is really all about consistency and finding the right braking
points/acceleration points/hitting all your apexes and being
smooth. If you don't have that, a "fast setup" is not going to
help you.
I bet if Moss, Stubbs, and myself all put up our setups....they
would differ greatly.
Wheel settings also really really matter in this game more than
I've seen before as well.

Hey gaz I'll help u out like I did on the last game which
unfortunately was the last race at brasil. But u were very
strong with my setup for the 1st half of race. I've been
reluctant to share my setup so far for this game as I haven't
found a as stable setup for this like I had on 2011. Although
for my last 4 league races I've used the same default setup I've
been workin on since the release. And since then I've won 3/4
with a come from last to 2nd at our race at canada. Which I had
really good pace. And 2 of them I'm beaten dreglar who is like
moss in pace. But the funny thing is I've given it too 3/4
others and only 1 of them had success. Go figure.
So it's like drew said. U have to understand the games
boundaries ei line and exit speed plus brakes before u make a
good setup work

I am not putting the spotlight on you Andrew, you keep saying
the league needs changes so all I did was ask what your thoughts
were. This season has been full of set backs, 2 patches
distributed at 2 different times, to 2 parts of the world, so of
course it is dragging out as we all agreed to wait for the Nth
Americans. We would be at Monza or further if all went to plan.
I personally like the way it is but am always up for anything,
or almost anything, lol!
I understand that being consistent is a big part of keeping up
which is something I haven't been able to do but I think that's
more to do with lack of practice. I have been practicing just
about all day and trying different braking and driving lines and
I think it's helping.
Stubbs your advice last season was very helpful and it was my
set ups which wasn't on song. I don't quite get the jist of
setting up the car so that's why I am asking for help, because I
think I am doing something wrong.
I am not asking for your personal setup, just for some help. :P
:P :P

I am aways open with my car setups as drew just sayed
before there will be many car setups that will work. I think
some people have a natural talent for this game, they don't
realy know what is a good car setup becouse everything works! We
will improve only with a lot of practice, some people don't have
the time for it so i think some changes could be good for this
competion. I realy like livos idea about use only your 15 best
for the time table, so people that got disconected or coudn't
make the race for some reason, wont be too affected. I have
frends running a race ligue with this sistem but they take only
three poor performances for the season, They also play with 2012
car performance and the cars rotate acording with your previous
race. Last on the grig is the first to shoose the car.
