I'm looking to make use of the A, B & C set-ups for each car instead of just having the 1 set-up but i'm not sure what to do.
One option i thought of was to do a full on race tune, a sports tune & a standard tune where i keep the HP standard & just tune the suspension etc.
Another idea i had was to do PP tunes where i could have say a 450pp, 500pp & 550pp tune.
Do any of you have more than 1 set-up for each car & if so what are they tuned for? HP, PP, Track specific or something different?

Any ideas would be a great help. Thanks.
 
To me it makes sense depending on what you're trying to do. PP is indeed a great point if you are racing with PP jumping up and down, it will save you lots of headache.
You can even have multiple copies of your favorite car, keep one for serious PP, second one for drag, drift, and rally or something.
 
On my F1 cars I create a set up for Monaco and Spa etc.
 
I only create set ups on specific cars for circuit and rally racing (on Subaru's, Evo's etc.) but as NeonAstral mentioned, PP set ups are very timesaving when you're competing in PP shuffle races. I think it's the best thing to categorize your set ups like this.
 
I do it based on tires - I have a soft spring/damper/alignment setting and a hard.

Soft is for sport tires, hard is for race. I use the 'C' setting only for rally cars for that setup.

I do ir based on tires since it's easy to adjust power, but a lot more time consuming to setup suspension - which is not possible for me on an on-line race.
 
I do mine based on how I'm going to drive and what car I'm driving.

For my drift cars I have, a wheel tune and controller tune, and one for testing either setup (to tweak before making a final set up).

Cars I race/drive with I set them up according to PP for races. Low powered cars I set them up as 350, 450, and 550. Higher powered cars I go with 550, 650, 750. This makes it easier to find a car and apply a tune when racing online, especially because you only need to make minor adjustments to fit the room restrictions.

As you can see, I use separate cars (same make and model) for drift and racing. Drift cars I need all the weight reductions and engine upgrades as where my race cars don't. Both weight and engine upgrades are permanent, so there is no way to remove them.
 
Most cars it's either: RACING, TOP SPEED and DRIFT.

Or it's: TOP SPEED, DRAG and DRIFT (all depends on the car).
 
i use it for gearing, tracks with long, medium and short straights
 
With my FGT's I use it for track specific races, in particular Daytona and Indy. Other cars I have tuned for different PP. There's no one "correct" way to go about doing it. It's yours to do with as you will. Experiment and I'm sure you'll settle on something you like and that suits you.
 
Thanks for the replies. Some good ideas here. I think i'm going to do PP tunes for the road cars & track tunes for the FGT & Le Mans cars etc.
