track conditions and setups changes

hello Fellows!
Since I started in rfactor 2, and got some stability, coudn't
find answers to this issue: track conditions and rubber
interfere in setups, is it right? Assuming that, depending on
condition for exemple, I can't get traction in exit corners
(this is my worst problem!). I've tried same setups and driving
styles in different servers and track situations, different time
scales, and there is a big impact on my laptimes, tyre wear and
performance, being hard to improve stability. The point is: What
are the main changes in setups to do in order to reach the best
performance for determined track situation, especially to gain
traction (fast exit) in exit corners and improve overall?
thanks!

I'm sure there are drivers that approach this more analytically
as you do. I wanted to answer something so I'm here to tell that
I haven't ever really noticed track conditions to play a part in
my setup tweaks. I'm sure I should adjust brake bias on the fly
for example as track conditions change, but all I ever do, tbh,
is to aim for a good balance and not modify anything on the fly.
I usually know what I want my car to do so I'm looking for that
sweet spot and after I get near it's all about improving my
driving and consistency to improve my laptime.
I could try to help you but I would be just guessing the
answers... I assume you can improve traction with lower ride
height and softer suspension at rear and generally having a
stable car at exits.

Thanks Tig_green!
How do you do this changes in braking balance? I mean, what
motive leads you to change braking balance depending of track
surface? Is it high temps? high or low rubber? The only idea i
have about brake balance is dependant of my rear or front tyres
loosing grip in turn in. Maybe i'm wrong, correct me if needs.
thank you very much for time!

Paulo,
I don't have any answers for you. But I understand what you are
asking.
We always seem to have setup guides based on how the car is
behaving. (like the one I have attached here)
I have never seen a setup guide based on track conditions.
It would make sense that there could be rules of thumb for track
changes like track temperature and amount of rubber. But I
haven't seen any yet.
Paul
