In the last days I tried to work on setups on Assetto Corsa Competizione, with my limited knowledge, limited sensibility and unlimited laziness.
Anyway, the race was at Paul Ricard so I picked the Cayman GT4 and tried to get minor changes to keep the car drivable while improving my lap times. Beginning from the standard aggressive setup, I managed to reach a good compromise (still not optimal, because of the limited free time I'm having recently), giving a little oversteer, not enough to need too many corrections in changes of direction, but enough to improve my lap times by a relevant size. Basically, I just lowered ABS even more, raised by one point the front splitter (which I somehow was a little scared of in the past) and hardened the anti-roll bars (level 4 to the front, level 2 to the back), the latter balancing a little of "liveliness" from the back. Next step: I need to learn something more on tyres.
In the end, I'm still not fast enough (off course), but I had a good and enjoyable race in which I felt safer then in the past, trying to defend the position in a couple of situations (I hope I didn't look too dangerous to the racers behind me).
Happy to finally see some love for Competizione from the community, the races are a lot fun the more we are!
For anyone interested, the footage of the 20-minutes race from my point of view is here: https://youtu.be/jovb_hXN6Q4
I hope you enjoy it and I always welcome every tip or critic.
