Rich,
I don't own one, but from everything I have read, I would think softening the rear roll bar to "full soft" would be a good idea. Typically, with a powerful mid-engined car, the driver is most comfortable with gentle understeer. That doesn't sound right at first glance, but mid-engined supercars rotate so easily with braking or throttle, the typical driver needs predictable handling. On race cars, that generally transelates to stiffer front settings and softer rear. I also might make sure allignment is really right. AS

I recommend leaving the settings stock unless you're an experienced track guy. Just watch your tire pressures; it takes a while to warm them up on the street. Learning to drive this car is no big deal. Just respect the power and take some DE. Let the cup cars and Z06's go by. Cup cars usually have more track experience and Z06's have less to lose. Give yourself space to learn. Relax and enjoy the ride!

I expect that car will have a $200K +/- repair bill once all the trick CF parts are replaced along with everything else that got bent. Seen this before......we had a guy here in Calgary go off road on a smooth grass shoulder of the highway........parts were $250K CAD plus labor to fix the car.
