This is my setup for the Ginetta G40 GT5.
You will need to set the fuel/pressures for each track. It's a good balance between speed and stability.

Thanks a lot Michael.
Tested it on Donnington, post race. Wish I saw this yesterday, it made my fluke 1.16.1 PB more or less consistent. Really good!
Cheers

Thank you! This helped me improve my lap times instantly! What are you aiming for with respect to tyres? A certian PSI? Temperature? (Feeling?) What are the optimum temperatures/pressure for these tyres? I think I have found a good balance with "green" temperatures all around, but just want to check what you other guys are aiming for.

Setup works well at Barbagallo too.
1:02s with race fuel
I'm glad it's helped a few people.
Lars for the tyres I always aim for the correct psi Temperature not so important. It varies per car so worth using the tyre app. The Ginetta is 24/25 psi, Always do a few laps for them to settle. Once that is correct you can fine tune to your taste. Higher psi front for more understeer. Higher psi rear for more oversteer.

Hi again
I´m having some trouble at Watkins Glen with an overheating left rear. Possibly due to turn 5, Outer Loop, the long sweeper after the bus stop. I´ve tried to increase overall pressure and increase rear camber from -3 to -2. This seems to delay the problem but eventually it overheats. Anyone have any tips?
Also, is it normal that you loose 0.2 - 0.4 seconds on straights because of hot tires? My exit speed from the corner is often higher than my best lap with normal tires but at the end of the straight I have lost time when my tyre is hot.
I´ll keep trying and post updates if I find a solution.
Cheers

Only just checked the forums.
Watkins you will overheat the rear left. The best thing you can do is not take the long right hander at 5 flat. 85-90% throttle should keep it safe.
