    Tonight I've tried the WS 3.5...

    Watching the default setup I found that slow rebound is softer than slow bump...should we work on setup maintainig the default ratio?

    Up to now I believed that the rebound should be at least 2/3 higher than bump...

    I'm not an expert when it comes to setups, but what I have come to notice is that bump and rebound do not necessarily fit neatly into a formula. I have learned to use bump and rebound specifically to tune car to help getting around the most troublesome corner on individual tracks. Example;

    say, you have a right hand corner that is real severe on oversteer and you can't get around the corner faster without loosing the rear.
    Then add a negative click to right rear rebound, also you may need to add a postive click to Left front bump.

    But again, this helps most after you have camber and castor in best shape on all 4 wheels first.

    The bump and rebound is usually the last thing I touch.

    Until the tyre model is complete and the entire physics are finished, I'm not bothering tinkering or trying to understand the car setup. I think anything you work/find out now could possibly be wrong or irrelevant come the full release.

    Sorry wasn't able to answer your question directly.

    Does this thread not need moving? It's nothing to do with mod announcements or testing.
