I didnt even checked the other seasonals, because the little free time I have I go directly to madrid.
I agree, the track has a nice flow, the curves require attention to datail as the apexes (or apices) are not clearly defined as in other tracks, and minor stuff can consume precious seconds.
I have a real hard time not laughing at the IA, specially the not-so-intelligent ones, like those that drive the 10th and 11th car. Its like 60% of the time they crash at the chicane, and the front heavy cars they drive cant help but making this even funnier, just like when they brake at the last curve of the Circuito di Roma track.
More experiments! I'm just posting them because I achieved sub 9:00 times.
VW LUPO 1.4 450pp, the house recipe tune + rearwing
VOLVO C30 R-Design, 450pp, the house recipe tune + rearwing
Peugeot 106 Rallye, 450pp, the house recipe tune + rearwing
The volvo and the peugeot are specially front heavy, beyond the 60:40 weight distribution ratio, so I added just enough weight on their backs to achieve the 60:40, copy/ paste the spring rates and heights from the default racing hard tune, but the toe and camber angles are almost the same in house recipe and the and the dampener rates are most of the times as follows:
4/3 comp
3/4 ext
That setting is what I called the "cross dampener", remember that I saw that on @praiano63 's Alfa 155 tune.
But for the 60:40 ones I made a experiment going:
5/3 ext
4/4 comp
The handling improved but the magnitide of the improvement varies among cars.
Keep in mind that these tunes have lots of improvements pending, and its not by any means a specialized and ultra optimized tune for every car, as they would easily take 2-3 hours at least for every car and I dont have that kind of time at the moment.
