    G'Day,

    Firstly, great car!

    I currently kick around the low 1.11s (low fuel) and am looking to up this to 1.10s.

    In most cars I've always struggled to get enough temp to the outside of my tyres, particularly on the rears. I've found with the F2 even on minimal tyre pressures I still get a very high centre temp which has forced me to run more camber than I would like as it hurts my lap time & grip. That said the the centre temps are still very close to the Inner temp and sometimes pass it on heavy loaded corner (ie Turn 1 & 7) and the outside temps are too cold as they can be between 20-30deg lower. On average down the back straight they sit around the 65 deg mark (25 lap run - Mid Ohio @ fair pace, 1.13s) and only come into the 90 deg sweet spot when hammering into into corners.

    Although the F2 is rather limited can anyone make some setup suggestions?

    I also read that the tyre temps logging is different in in rF2 compared to rf1. Surface vs Carcass and that the 10deg spread like rF1 is difficult to achieve? Dunno...
