hello,
I am a French pilot, and I have a little trouble finding a good base, especially with the wheelbase ...
I was wondering if you had a good basis to advise me that I could use on French tracks?

Normally we use the long wheelbase for high speed tracks and short wheelbase for technical tracks with many hairpins.

thank you Alex.
Otherwise, I see on many set-up of top drivers that the roll center of the nose gear "medium low", is this the best configuration?
Actually, I want a good set up base that happen almost everywhere, and around which I could turn ...
I do not see a set up that looks like your in France, that is why I prefer to seek guidance from good drivers like you.

By the nose gear do you mean the front upper roll centres? I tend to use those in the medium high position for starters. If I need more on-power steering, then I will go for a lower position.

yes it's good that I wanted to talk ...
In France everybody drives with the short wheelbase, and I was wondering if you could recommend a good set up base with that wheelbase. I also ride in electric steering level and therefore I love cars that much turns without lifting the rear axle.
I hope you can advise me a good foundation around which to evolve.

Please try this set-up which has the short front wheelbase:

Hi Remi,

a very good starting point is using the basic set-up that the car includes, with very subtle changes.

I use the lowest possible position in the front shock tower and instead of 600cst, 400 with light purple spirngs.

I also change the ackerman position. Use AD in the fowardest position.

The rest remains the same (roll center, long wheelbase, etc...) when I get lost with myy car's set up I always go back to this starintg point and it works pretty good.

Cheers
