Alright guys, I just got my first F1 car and I just found out that at stock, it can be quite the little speed demon. I completed the Super Speedway first and got the blue and green colored one. I think it is the F090/S. Now I have no idea of what the hell to do with it. A little help would be nice. Now I'm not going to lie about this. I know nothing about tuning these god-forsaken things. I need all the help that I can get. Please help. Besides, I need something else to drive other than my ZZ-II, RX-7 LM, Subaru Rally Prototype, and My Denso Sard Supra. I'm out of ideas of how to tune my Supra now so I'm going to let it collect dust. Please help.
 
Have a look

here

I am currently playing with Poly 001's (PAL user) and the info here is quite helpful. Keep a high spring rate and low susp rate, its VERY twitchy on the bump strips so be careful not to overdo it with the bound/rebound on the shocks. Ive found a very good meduim today whilst running Grand Valley.

Good luck 👍

 
To quote someone else (I forget), do you want some post to go with that signature?

Six lines (including blank ones) is the maximum...
 
I counted the lines too Famine !!!

Shining Mirage - Your sig is good, but just too big !!!
 
Agreed. Please edit your sig down to your favorite 6 lines. Thanks!
 
Np guys. Thanks for the idea. The spacing thing was getting kinda wierd, but I'll change it.
 
Just make is shorter - 6 lines only - as Famine and Neon_Duke have said already
 
How's this? This has to be right. Sorry about the mix-up. I couldn't read all of the text. I'm running on ISDN and I didn't get to fix it correctly. So finally, I did. Hope it fits.

Thats right mate - Its bang on 6 lines now.

@Pink - Your signature that appears at the bottom of your posts should really only be 6 lines at the most - Shining Mirages was too long so it was requested that it be made shorter. Yours on the other hand is bang on 6 lines 👍 !!

Anyway ! How are you getting on with your new 001 with the setts ?

Setup Notes
I'm glad i can finally post setups for the European F1 cars, thanks alot Kerr! To bad we only have 2 of them instead of 6...
 
Hi Ace-Spec

Whilst it's good that you want to help out your fellow racers by posting suggestions of set-ups, it might have been a little better if you'd simply posted a link to the appropriate GTVault set-up file as posting settings into a thread is something of an artistic art if you've not done it before.

An alternative is to use the "Code" option to retain the format of the initial text:

This is not meant to be criticism my friend; just trying to be helpful (I made a terrible hash of posting set-ups when I first started here :o).
 
👍 This is what this thread needs some actual setts and guidance for the 001. Although setts straight from GTVault might not ne the best thing to read its still a start.
I have found that special attention to the bound and rebound settings and the ride height and spring hardness mnakes a real difference when you are on the rumblers - Especially the bound/rebound setting, if you get it right you can drive through the rumblers and still manage to grip - rather than get thrown off and lose it !
