Porsche 908 LH Series Setups - Ted Hough - 09-14-2021
All setups will be provided to try and let people jump into the car with less practice time the day of or the day before the race, whenever possible. I'll base them on a baseline I made for the first race of the series, then update the setup for subsequent weeks as I see fit, as usual. Please note that my setups are often extremely close to the Assetto corsa baseline with just a few changes for my own personal taste and may not work for everybody's driving style. They will be fueled for a race distance.
Edits & Notes: Race fuel calculated to be roughly 30-36 liters for the remainder of the series. Car seems to have fairly consistent burn so far two weeks in. Silverstone setup added. Removing wing does not make the car unstable while cornering, adds a slight amount of oversteer balance on high speed corners and does not appear to massively effect straight line speed. Stiff springs work on tracks with smooth surfaces. Rake angle makes the car understeer slightly on turn in and helps with bottoming. Recommend softer springs on bumpier tracks, stiffer only on those with smoothed road meshes.
For Fuji, went to negative toe value on front, neutralized toe slightly on the rear, added rear bump stiffness. Helps car keep rotating through long, high speed corners while on throttle. Car wants to over-rotate slightly into hairpins and other low speed corners, it's a bit of a compromise but I personally don't mind it.

Very good setup Ted! Seems to suit Silverstone quite alright as well (with the gearing adjusted). Why didn't you lower the wings all the way though? In my opinion it doesn't change much about the rear stability or am I just too slow to notice the differnce?
Here's my Silverstone setup: https://acstuff.ru/s/DdCve_

At Daytona I noticed going to 0 wing from 4-8 made the balance change, but didn't really increase the straight line speed very much. I'll try reducing the rear wing more at Silverstone today but I haven't done any practice yet, hence why there's no silverstone setup yet either. I'll post what I end up settling on here after the race but so far I really just focused on making a Baseline I was content with for Week 1.

Just a heads up there probably won't be a setup for Fuji until after the race, I got called into the tower for extra flight planning practice tonight and Friday morning.
I'd recommend using the Silverstone one with softer springs and higher ride heights and just do tire pressures and gears, should work good.

Spa Setup from today added - I feel like I've finally figured out how to make the car handle a bit more neutrally without having goofy dampers that cause corner entry oversteer snaps, enjoy!

Final update with setups for Lemans and the Nurburgring 1967 rounds.
Obviously the Nurb setup is going to have the highest ride heights, softest suspensions and be setup the most conservatively out of all the setups. Fuel load for a 20 minute race was difficult to calculate because of the length of the Gesamstrecke round and the race timing out almost exactly at 21 minutes as a 2-lap dash. I'd recommend a bit less than the 35-38 liters I've been using so far this season, maybe in the 25-32 range.
