I've been racing in the Formula One series and i can't seem to figure out how the lead car gets so many laps before he has to pit. If anyone has ran this race remembers their setup please tell me. Some of the other tracks i can outrun them to pit more, but i can't get my times down low enough to do that in seattle. Right now i'm running a stock setup on the F-094/s
 
Decrease your downforce. It will have a negative effect on your handling. However, it will cause your tires to last a bit longer. Also consider lowering your spring rate, and raising the car a teensy bit. Seattle is very bumpy, and if you're hitting those bumps with a little more compliant suspension, you will cut better times and decrease tire wear.
No place is it truer than Seatlle that you must brake a LOT sooner than you'd think to cut quick times.
 
i tried a different aproach than that and i ended up winning by a lap. I increased the downforce to its max level. I still raised the car a little bit and set the shock bound low. My average lap time was around 1:16-17 and i pitted every 8, as opposed to the other F-094/s pit strategy of 10. I also tuned it more toward sports for the gear ratios to give me more accel on the twisting parts. With the downforce at max, i could fly around the corners at twice the speed that i had before. :D
 
I had the stock settings and i also used the F094/S. I beat the whole series with the same settings. The last race on Cote D'Azur is the worst! lol
 
I have been racing in the Formula GT Championship for quite a lot of times. I actually used to have 8 different setup for them. (I'll skip the Super Speedway and the Test Course, because they are just stupid and boring, I don't know why they put it there) From what I know, the traction control can help and make the tires last longer, but if you set it too high, the car is going to be slow.

I couldn't find my Seattle setting, but this is the regular setting for my F094S

Spring Rate:
18.5 Front, 18.5 Rear

Ride Height:
45mm Front and Rear

Shock Bound:
Lv6 Front and Rear

Shock Rebound:
Lv7 Front and Rear

Camber Angle:
1.2 Front, 1.6 Rear

Toe Angle:
0.0 Front, -1.0 Rear

Brake Balance:
Lv24 Front and Rear

LSD:
Initial Torque 16
Acceleration 42
Deceleration 27

Gear Ratio:
Auto Level 34
Adjust 5th to 1.559
Adjust 6th to 1.267
Adjust Final Gear to 4.300

Downforce:
0.90 Front, 1.50 Rear

ASM Lv0 (off)

TCS Lv1

This setting work for most of the track (For different track, I usually just change the Gear Ratio, and that's it), because it is a formula car, you gotta set it and drive it like one. The car is stiff, I put more camber on the rear to prevent too much oversteer, the toe angle will help cornering when you lift. The Brakes are all the way to Lv24, later and harder braking means faster (That's why Schumacher is fast). With my Gearing the top speed is 209.5mph, and the downforce is really important for a formula car, because you need to have downforce to push your car down when you cornering, otherwise the car is not going to be stable at the turn-in and exit. I hit 1'11.580 in Tokyo 246, and 1'00.051 in Apricot Hill with this setting. Of coz the most important thing is you need to take your line and touch the kerb right, don't hit anything, don't spin, no sliding, don't go out to the gravel. Then you don't even need to worry about the other cars pitting strategy, because you are already fast enough.
 
I have just run this race and the AI cars pitted at lap 9. I got 9 good laps from my tires with rear toe set to zero with downforce set at max. Front camber was 3 and rear was 1.5. I had ASM at 10 and TSC set at 5 to help reduce tyre wear by reducing wheel spin. Also set spring slightly softer say around 15 and increase ride height by 10 to help to stop bouncing off curbs to much
 
Well when sometimes i run seattle race at the F1 championship, i try to get the fastest times since the first lap. THe cpu does an average lap time of 1:19 if i am not wrong....or 1:16, i do not remember. i Try to keep in the rythm of 1:04-1:05, and sometimes get a 1:03 lap time. But yeah my tires go red quickly, but i can turn a lap in cpu quite easy, if i try to go more slow, i will just get more 2 laps of good tires, so it does not really worths as i will go about 2 or 3 seconds slower.

So i try to keep always the fastest rythm possible. I make about 7 laps and go to pits, to don´t loose too much grip.
 
these are some wack settings!!!


i got a 1:07 on tokyo with my F094/s and a 56.4 on laguna seca and i get a top speed of 215 mph..neone who wants my settings just private messege me!!! but veilsidebr is pretty pimp take his advice too(i like to see his f094/s settings)!!
