I forgot to post some of the small setup changes I made to the Shelby Cobra that I think helped at 60s Watkins Glen to make the car more consistent.
While I'm at it, I will include the setup I have currently for tomorrow's race at Riverside Long. I was struggling with the car on that track, so I made something that gets very understeery at points. Its probably too much, so I might change it before the race, but I think this current version is nice and stable to last the whole race at the very least even if it is not too fast. Compared to the Watkins setup, I have:
- Increased the camber (no idea if it helped, but I jsut did it and left the change in)
- Reduced front toe out (less negative), and put in rear toe in (more positive). This was to combat the sudden snap oversteer
- Tweaked the pressures for the circuit and track temps
- fuel for 20min race
- Decreased diff power by a click to 20% so it was nicer when getting on the throttle on corner exit. Also increased the diff coast to 50% to reduce the oversteer off throttle.

Compared to the Watkins setup, I have:
- Adjusted tyre pressures slightly to match the track
- Increased the toe in dramatically on the front and rear (more positive). This makes it very understeery.
- Stiffened the dampers, I feel this has made the car less twitchy and wobbly on the brakes.
- Reduced the diff power to 10%
- Increased the gear ratio for more top speed
