i just got a mini S '02 and am struggling with the set up. does anyone have a good one for this car? i am planning on using it for all the compact races and have been racing the mini mini one-make successfully but i know there is more potential in this car.
thanks

I was struggling to beat the other Cooper S's in the one make series without power mods. In the end I fitted the full suspension pack and that seemed to provide the solution. I don't have access to GT4 right now to check the settings but I remember that GT4's advice on relative bound/rebound strengths was particularly important, especially on the Paris Opera course (maybe the cobble stone road sections make the suspension particularly sensitive?), I think it was a 2/7 or 2/6 setting that really made the difference.
 
I might have to try something creative to fix my mini too. I've tried keeping it stock, but on acceleration or hard braking my controller shakes fairly violently like I AM going over cobblestones, even though Im on the test course. Once I get to the high RPMs of 3rd gear, it subsides. I've tried changing TCS, ASM, I bought the semi-racing suspension and tweaked every setting I could, going from one extreme to the other and testing the middle ground as well - nothing seemed to make the shaking any better. Any ideas?
