rFactor 2 Car Setups

Fisi - indy 500

Another of Hectari's fine setups.

If you FISI rookie you be doing 41's on this in no time and lapping like a Pro.

Don't forget to set Rear flap button ( DRS )

DRS off for first lap and pit in and out is a good idea.

Rooms up tonight.

Anyone can host more then 8 I like to see big room of these up tonight.
 
Without setting up a button for DRS I was doing 0:41:505 with that setup DD. I guess I should map the DRS and see what happens. :)
 
Any Skip Barber setup for Lime Rock?
Just want to know if it's possible to get rid of the extreme oversteer when entering corner (especially the very first turn...). I try to not lift off throttle too much but the first turn is completely impossible. I have yet not been able to drive through that corner without going completely sideways and leaving huge cloud of tire smoke behind me :confused:

This car totally ruins my confidece. I think I'll get back into Brabham or Spark F1. Much easier... somehow :confused:
 
first you need to worm the tires up,no need to run quali speed first two,three laps :) (like with most of cars).
the things you need to adjust in setup to lower oversteer is to
decrease rear anti roll bar,
decrease rear ride height(or increase front),
decrease rear tire pressure(or increase front)
this car dont have much options to adjust so mostly you play with this options.
hope it helps
cheers

Yup, also practice different ways of releasing the brakes :). Quiet though, its one of my secrets, dont tell people! How brakes are released is more important than people think :).

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh dont tell anybody ;)

Also, at first, dont trail brake, on initial turn in get off brake and use little throttle, mostly constant throttle (not increasing or decreasing), in order to transfer weight to rear and plant it down. Get it settled, make the car happy :), it makes you happy :).

Then as you get more comfortable, and your limits go higher, you slowly learn where, and how you can apply more and more trail braking, and therefore less or later constant throttle to plant rear.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention. Once you start getting faster and more confident, if you do not brake enough, you have a risk (especially when you start lapping faster and faster) to get understeer on entry to mid corner (if you make it to the mid corner haha). That is why, once you are lapping faster, you must make sure to brake enough in order to get back end to come around slightly on turn in and carry that very slight drift all the way until around apex, that is how you get the maximum time from these cars. This is a general rule, of course some corners require different techniques.

Now....... I am sorry guys, but I must admit, i havent tried the new skippy yet, I am just going by my real life experience, hopefully this all translates well to the RF2 version.

To make this little beast a little more stable in the turn entry, i would first...

- decrease Steering Range

- decrease Caster
- decrease Front Toe-In


But as already posted, the Skip Barber requires a bit of sensitivity
 
What would help the most if it were adjustable, and I have not looked to see if it is, would be to stiffen both front and rear springs to tame the brake or throttle off over steer as well as the throttle on under steer.
 
is it right that shocks/dampers are fitted with non-removable packers?
always thought they were an option.
 
The key with the Skippy is being very mindful of weight transfer and how your inputs change it... Its super easy to lose sight of what we're asking the car to do when you're not actually sitting in it (hence some of the whining/moaning about handling and physics).

Skip Barber setup. Good for low 56's at Lime Rock and stable. Just increase front ride height if you wish for more understeer.

My setup came out quite a bit more oversteery than yours, and could do low 56's. With yours though I managed a 55.8, with a low 56 being easy.
nice stuff man

Nice time Minibull, I broke into the 56's last night for the first time, a 56.660 with this setup all but a little modified as i find it a bit too understeery for me.

I was in the race last night when the pace car glitched and ran over you, I was in P2 for that one.

Hahaha, I have no idea what happened there. Managed to almost catch up you and the other guy upfront before the race restarted

Nice time man, such a great feeling to break into a lower second laptimes :D



One thing on skippy setups though...they are very limited, and I wonder if most of the laptime comes from just the driving and track learning.
I have the setup I posted about above, which I tweaked a bit the ARB, pressures, brakes, ride height, etc. I also have a setup given to me by speedy84 last night.

Just been trying speedy84's setup today, and I managed a 55:863, compared to a 55:860 with my previous setups. Consistent low 56's with both too.


Point of this is that the two setups are so massively different. My one has very little camber (in the 0.5 range...), speedys has 2.5 odd degrees. 10nm difference on the ARB, pressures that are different by 3 odd PSI, very different front ride heights. Etc etc.

Just seems like its the driving that makes the difference. Maybe the tyre wear with one is much crazier, but then I seem to have no issues in the short races, and I haven't seen any long races.
