First session over with today, never drove round this track backwards but it’s got better and better every lap, enjoying it :)

Still stock.

I’m running the same as you but I have changed the gearing slightly using all seven. I have moved final gear to 3500 which to me seems to give be better exit speeds against stock gears. This setup also I feel allows me to upshift slightly early if I feel the back end starting to go which brings it back and the ratios are short enough not to be penalised shifting that little bit earlier

I tried a custom gearing but didn't like the shift points, was having trouble finding right gear, but what you say makes a lot of sense, I will give it a try tonight. That may be some of my issues is keeping the gear too high and not enough pull to have fast exits. Thanks. 👍

You'll notice on here there are a few adverse cambers, so work more on your line. And mind the raised bits on the curbs one they can un-settle the back end, worse can throw you off line altogether.

I have noticed that about some of these curbs, the curbs and I may have had run in once or twice already. :lol:
 
Here is my shot at 5 minutes of fame. If I get it in soon enough, should be at the top of the board...:)

I found something that really helped me. This community has been so helpful and sharing, that I want to also.

This car has a very, very wide power band. I have been playing around a lot with the gearing. Not much seemed to help at first until I started widening out the gear ranges so I didn't use as many gears. I was using 4 gears only (3rd through 6th), but wanted to find a way to try only 3 gears.

I found it. I set 1st gear to 102mph, 2nd to 130mph and 3rd to 160mph. I only use those 3 gears. So, believe it or not, acceleration from 60 to 145 is 0.3 to 0.4 seconds better than stock or any other combo I could come up with. It is unconventional I know, but try it.

So less shifting and better acceleration...works for me.

Brilliant! After 250 miles, I have my first clean lap.

After trying all the different settings / tunes on this thread, I have bonded with the tune from @dranddad 👍👍

Glad it's working for you Larry, gearing is all down to the person where they like to change gear. But for me I found the custom box gearing ok, I just moved the final drive down to 3.090 just to move my changing point to a place more suited to where the corners came.
