I actually have two setups online now and have been through the book many times. I think you are right though, the book and continued trial and error may be my best ticket. Thanks. Rod |

I've taken a look at your setups, but am not sure what exactly you are looking for with the term 'aggressive'. Give us a little explanation as to the details on what has happened in the past and what you would like to accomplish, including specifics on where (type of corners; entry, exit or both, etc.) you would like the car to be more aggressive. Of course a quick way to accomplish what you've asked for in a general sense is to use a one-way up front. It will require taking some quality time to dial in a good base setup and learning how to drive as consistently fast as possible. The aggressive steering associated with a one-way will certainly force you to be more precise and smooth with your steering inputs. It will also magnify the effect on each aspect of steering (entry, mid and exit) for even the smallest setup changes. You may end up more consistently quicker on most tracks with a two-diff or spool setup over the length of a race. However, going the one-way route is definitely a way to learn how to fine tune chassis setup and also drive smoother and faster with any setup. |

Sounds about right. Although the setup Cory runs may require a bit of a controlled acceleration out of the corners rather than simply punching it. Cory's setup should allow for very late and hard braking into the corner. |

Yeah Cory is one but using Cory's setups usually does not work as well for me as it does for him. He is a really smooth driver and though I am no hack I don't drive like he does. Cory and I have talked and I am at the point where it is mostly going to come down to my driving style becoming more aggressive (ie: staying in the gas where I normally do not). I am going to try some changes this weekend and see if I can drop my laptimes averages. Rod |
