Looking for some oval setups - Oli - 11-10-2006
Hi folks!
I've just started to drive a full 1998 FedEx Season...
Hmmm, sounds good...
But you know what I am missing?
I need good setups for the "new" Homestead track (the 1.510 mile version - not the small "Indy" version).
I am not fast enough...
Also I need a good thing for Motegi (the N2/N3 Darlington edit).
I always spin although I have increased the rear wings...
For both setups I would have to play around with the suspension.
But I am just a driver... Not a mechanic...
Can somebody help me?
Thanks in advance

To add to this as well. I remember a pdf file that I think Steven Lake posted at the old forum that had a lot of good info about ICR2 and probably setups too and if anyone has a good quick setup guide like lists adjustments to make for a car that is loose going into corners or exiting and such like that. Thanks

When you say, 'not fast enough', how fast is that?

New as in low banked or high banked?
RE: Looking for some oval setups - Oli - 11-10-2006
Hi!
Uhhh... I think I got the low banked homestead. But I am not sure...
Anyway, my speeds were all much less than 200 mph.
The real qualifying speed in 1998 was 217.5 mph by Greg Moore. So I guess that the racing laps have been around 200 mph.
I am really far, far away from these speeds.
And my rear is loose (although I drive with more rear wing than front wing) which results in lots of spins.
I have changed already the setup and I tried to make the car more stable.
Yesterday, I just was playing around with the tire values in the track text file. Just to avoid the right front tire overheating...

Try my qualifying set up.
I have also included in the zip file my track file for the Miami track with the correct tire values.
As far as the Darlington/Motegi........I have a hard time at that track too. You can run a few laps OK, and then the car will just go into a snap spin without any warning.

1998 season, I should have seen that. The flat one it is.
