Hi Bram,

I'm not the best racer, normally on a good day i can finnish somewhere in the upper top 12. I tried your setup but that didn't work for me. Somehow i had lots of more understeer then with my own setup. I used one from the setup market and fiddled with it. My best time was 1.54.5 ish . Probably has to do something with my seating position. I'm sitting in a chair with my wheel clamped to the desk, not the best way to race and improve but that's just the way it is right now.

somehow i can't really drive the faster setups.....i would love to be faster but having good fights in the middle field gives heaps of joy too

Hi Marc, I think it makes sense that you had more understeer . If I remember correctly I lowered the back a bit more then the front to gain more rear traction. At Mugello I tend to steer the car more on the throttle. But perhaps I should try a more standard setup to see if that helps. I could just have made it worse.

Are you loosing time in every sector or just one or two? I think the main difference between a 1:52 and a 1:54 comes down to the following: using all the track you possible can, use a later apex for all corners which lead to a strait.  A little thing that helped me to get more consistent today was; don' t down shift to aggressive while trail braking into a corner. By just delaying the moment you downshift a little you gain stability at the rear.

About you seating position, that sound familiar. I'm using a triple screen setup at my desk with a T300 clamped on top and some modified G25 pedals.

I still hope some of the championship top 20 guys are willing to shed some light on how to be fast with the Porsche. Today, again I was one second of the pace, even though I qualified with a personal record (1:51.2).
