I have just spent 48 hours struggling with a new RUF RGT, trying to make the damn thing handle/race. I finally won, so i thought that i'd share my set-up with you guys just in case someone else is struggling with an RGT as well. Then i thought that i'll just leave this thread open to anyone with a set-up for a any RUF.
Settings for a new RUF RGT.
Problem: The standard car set-up doesnt handle, it Understeers and slides out in bends on the Standard S3 tyres.
Objective: To not raise the power of the standard car very much, whilst being able to adjust everything else, making the car handle on the S3 tyres.
Parts Fitted:
Exhaust: Semi Racing Pipe [Comes as Standard].
Brakes: Racing Pads and Brake Balance Controller.
Engine: Only NOS, and an Oil Change after test mileage to raise the power to 398/404BHP.
Transmission: Fully Customised Service and a Triple Plate Clutch.
Turbo: Nothing.
Suspension: Fully Customised Service.
Tyres: Sports Soft S3 [Comes as Standard].
Others: Weight reduction Stages 1, 2 & 3 [1330Kg down to 1130Kg].
Adjusted Settings:
Suspension:_____________Front___Rear
Spring Rate:______________8.8____9.9
Ride Height:_____________76_____85
Damper [Bound Side]:______8______9
Damper [Rebound Side]:____7______8
Camber Angle:____________3.0____2.0
Toe Angle:_______________0______0
Stabiliser:_______________4______4
Transmission:
Final:_____________________3.440
Auto Set:_________________12 [Midfield]
Brakes:__________________15____15
Driving Aids: ASM: Oversteer 0, ASM: Understeer 0, TCS 3.
Weight:
Ballast:_______________[+] 40 [Kg].
Balance:________________-50 [All Ballast moved to the front].
Total car weight is now 1170Kg the same as Weight Stage 2, but now with 40Kg Ballast over the front wheels to provide Steering Grip.
This set-up did 1:19:763 on Midfield, but dont forget it did it on S3 tyres!
Later just add Racing tyres to your taste and off you go.
Oh and just move the auto set to 11 on a shorter course, or to 13 on a much longer course than Midfield.
This set-up wins the Pro Hall Boxer Spirit.
I hope this helps someone having trouble making a RUF handle in GT4.
Cheers,
Gram.

EDIT:
Thanks to 63AvantiR3's advice on how dampers should be set-up, the above damper settings have now been further developed. And the car handles MUCH better still, than with the above damper settings.
They should now be:
Damper Bound__________3______4
Damper Rebound________6______8
