Setup numbers RS

Just over the big bumps..
I could hit the PASM button before T17 and put it back to stiff after T1 but I always forget LOL.
You know Sebring, and of course on video it looks like nothing much... See 0:10-0:15 and 2:00-2:10

Mostly T17, I haven’t figured out how to get the car pointed more in the right direction and limit the length travelled.
And T16.
Im not very good at either of those corners and I found myself trying different stuff. You’d think I know after 1000 laps.
have another 3 days to figure it out this weekend :-)

Thanks Seth, I didn’t ask for the free coaching, but I will gladly take it!
Absolutely will try that. I might even keep it flat over all the bumps, if I’m pointed better.
I’m pretty much overdriving the car into corners, yet not good enough to get the car slowed down precisely enough to still have the weight on the front. Lack of talent.
I have the feeling if I back it up a bit and be less greedy with Vmin, it may work in T17.
But T1 I think I’m opposite, some pro’s lose speed all the way past the Apex and I’m trying to go for early throttle from a much lower V min.
But I drove two cars back to back on the same Dunlops, one would take the early throttle there and mine didn’t.
Anyway the goal is to have the perfect .2RS setup (For me) for Sebring after this weekend.
I will report in :-)

Setup works OK, don’t have exact numbers yet.
Incredibly, I ran another exact 2:1382, threw it all away by losing .5 sec in T16, so seems a 2:133 was doable and I’m pretty sure the tires lost a second.
Anyway, still no 2:12.
I don’t understand that I have several identical laptimes, weird.
The odds..
But with corded tires, it means we found quite a bit of time in setup.
Its a bit harder to drive, but I think with new tires, I’d will be good.
TBD...

Sebring setup .2 GT3RS.
Basically as low as I could go and still have good stopping power and suspension travel.
The rear is a compromise to deal with the rear springs that are just a bit too stiff.
Still some high speed understeer and still a bit hard to drive by keeping the rear under the car in the usual difficult places at Sebring.
Front ride height: 103 (95mm being as low as the car can go).
Rear ride height: 252
Front sway bar middle
Rear sway bar full soft
Dunlops Sport Maxx 2 hot PSI can be as low as 30 and as high as 38.
Started out at 22/24PSI

You weren't in the Pink group, I take it? Don't remember seeing you, but maybe we were circling on opposites side of the track :-)
Its faster with less camber but I'm trying to get 4 days out of the rears, it seems to be possible with flipping wheels side to side after each or at least 2 days.

The onslaught of RS that are getting faster with each weekend is what keeps me on my toes hahaha....

I was out in Pink Friday and Saturday but started at the back following Craig in his Cup to get videos of him, helping with his braking points. I got very few clear laps in two days. But that wasn’t the point of the weekend. My set up came from the Lightning Laps for Randy Pobst and seems well balanced but my best is a 2:16.3 so I am not up to the best the car can do. My best this past weekend was only 2:17.3.
