That will happen the first lap, for sure, until the tires get some heat in them.

If everyone's feeling that same thing, I'll be happy to do some tweaking on the default one to make it more stable under power and yet retain it's braking stability. I sent Race Control a quick tweaked one, but I can make the power transistion a bit smoother.

Since it's a fun event, keeping it as driveable as possible seems like the priority, at least to me.

Somethings not right somewhere. This fixed setup gearing red lines far too early. I'm only able to get it to 187mph'sh on a straight, wing was 16 or so.

Forgive my ignorance but what is the LE add-on?

LE - League Edition

It gives all the cars the same performance...the F1 '85 LE mod uses the Williams as it's base level.

Any front wing adjustment's not going to affect overall top speed much at all...maybe a couple miles per hour. It's primary function is to control over/understeer at higher speeds. That default setup's set more for stablity under braking than anything I think, not top speed.

The highest straight-line race speed at Monza in 1985 was 326KMH.....the highest overall speed was 331KMH, just to give some examples for reference.

Personally I am finding the default set up great fun. As long as you treat it with respect till your tires are up to temp. However I think it strikes a great balance between a stable drivability and an "on the edge, push as much as you dare but it may bite you" experience. I'm having great fun running this in practice on the server, and thats just me in practice!

Ive noticed something strange. When I made a pitstop in practice on the server to repair some slight damage after brushing a barrier, it removed my fuel. Whats causing this? More importantly, how do I fix it?

That setting in the .plr file, Stewart....you might not have changed it.

Under [GAME], look for this:

Relative Fuel Strategy="0" // Show how much fuel to ADD, rather than how much TOTAL fuel to fill the tank up to

If your's is at 0, change it to "1".
