What Gr.3 car(s) do you think would be recommendable for the next Nations Cup race at Bathurst? And what would you suggest for the brake balance/TCS/ABS for the respective recommendation(s)?
Those are all questions fairly relative to your driving style.
Bathhurst is well suited to Gr3 with lots of power and good top end speed because of the 2 long straights. Gt40. Mustang, Viper, there was a Lexus in the top 10 this morning. But really it's best to try a few laps in several different cars and choose whichever you were quickest, but most importantly the most stable and consistent.
Brake balance depends on how you drive, if you like to finish braking before turning in go with brakes to the front. If you trail brake then go with brakes to the rear. Once you find your best, consistent time in practice, start playing with what level it set at to see if your time improves.
TCS depends how comfortable you are coming out of turns in the powerful FR/MR Gr3 cars. 0 will allow you to push the car to it's absolute limit and open the possibility of getting better times, but you run the risk of spinning out, making all those 10ths gained, easily lost. For me I keep it at 1 in gr3 on bathurst. I was only able to gain a few 10ths a lap with TCS at 0, but every other lap I'd whip my back end and lose a few seconds so it doesn't work for me yet. At TCS 1 you could still spin out but only if you make a major error, at TCS 2 it should be extremely hard to spin out on just pavement, anything over 2 I find is just overkill and unnecessary and will lower your lap times.
I can't say anything about ABS, I never played with it.
