I entered in two races today with your setup, managed to get two second places with it. Just need to work in my consistency and try not to get off the track again, lol.
And I really need to learn how to setup cars, I always end up using the default one, but there are some cars that the time difference is massive when you have a good setup.
I've only started trying to do setups recently so I'm no expert. One tip I would give is to take one component (like front Anti-roll bar for example) and test the highest and lowest setting to see what effect it has on the car. That way you can get a real feel at what each setting for that component does. Just try things one component at a time to begin with. If it works then great, if not you can also go back to the previous value. I make a new separate save after each adjustment and write it down in a copy, so its easy to reverse changes if I'm not happy with what I did.
I'll add a link to the end of this reply to a playlist video series that I think is brilliant at teaching how to setup a car. The first two videos explain the settings. The next videos then go through a process of setting up the car. It creates a base setting at an oval, then moves to a track you are comfortable with that has a good mix of corners (Spa in his case) and finally goes to the actual race you will be racing where the final tweaks are made. The videos are pretty lengthy but I prefer that compared to a short brief video. He properly explains what each setting does and his thought process of what adjustments need to be made depending on how the car behaved at a corner. You don't need to follow all the steps as its way too time consuming. For my setup, I didn't bother going to an oval and Spa, I just started at Tor Poznan as I knew a few quick adjustments was all I needed to get big improvements.
