| The reason why you only get fresh ones is because we have the server set to let you have unlimited amount of tires.
F1 71 you was only allowed 3 hence you having to choose between the 3 sets. | |

F1 71 you was only allowed 3 hence you having to choose between the 3 sets. I gues this means we cant have both, choosing and unlimited sets?? What if you set limitation to 100? would that do any difrence? just asking.. dont want to sound anoying. | |

| You're not being annoying at all . The max we can set it too is 10, but the CART teams had more tires sets available to them than that i believe. | |

- Very wise words from our current Indycar88 champion. At ovals the qualy setup can, and usually is, very different from the race one, as you go at the edge on just two laps.
In anybody is struggling to find a decent race setup, post here and we will provide a baseline one for your car. Then you can train with it and tweak it slightly to your needs. Please sir may I have some ädvice Seriously tho, I've been trying to adjust my driving style mostly but all I can really do is put up a somewhat decent qualifying lap. A baseline race setup would be greatly approved (March 88 - Porsche) | |

| I'm sure we can give you a setup, no problem, but from watching you the other night when a lot of us was on the server, part of it is driving technique, you we're entering the corners way too quick. Getting the right technique will help you a lot more than a good setup. If you enter too quick, the car will understeer, so you apply more steering lock to combat the understeer and then eventually when you have slowed enough, the front end will suddenly grip and then you will spin out as you have got way too much steering input. I used to do the same, but then Alberto spent a short amount of time with me and then i learnt. Slow up a bit more going into the turn and you will find you are going quicker, even though it feels slower. If you've changed since then, then ignore me, you've already learnt You can have the best setup in the world, but if your technique is off, you will still struggle. No offence is intended, i am just merely offering advice, take it on board if you wish. | |

And one more question. Staggered tyres, in-car pit-menu offers all 4 tyres to be staggered, and as I understood only right ones are staggered, so, what is a proper choise if Im driving on 0.15 stagger.. grazie! Correct, only the Right sides are staggered, if you're running a .15 Stagger then choose the tire option that says .15 Stagger. With the pit choices you're basically choosing if you want Both Right sides staggered the same or if you want the Front tires Staggered less than the rears. | |

| THe front tires are not staggered. It doesn't matter what you pick, the front tires will never be staggered, only the rears. | |

Jason, Richard, thanks.. but please, just confirm to me, while making a pit-stop, if I am on 0.15 what should I pick, or to be more clear: if I left the default - all 4 tyres .15, Ill get what I started with? thank you | |

| What is the maximum right tyres temperature in the corners without loosing a grip? Im trying to rotate with wheel less in the corners which helps a lot but still have in the corners front around 125-130 and rear a little but less. I would not belive how different are the Lolas 8700 8800. Wings for 8800 doesnt work for 8700. I have to set them to 38/4 to make the car balanced in the corners. But im still too slow. | |

| Martin if you have too much understeer you can raise the rear of the car instead of adding front wing. These cars are above all ground effects machines, so get first the floor correct and then just balance with wings. | |

| Two observations of a set-up novice: 1° let's hope that all this talk about stagger will result in a fabulous stag party come Sunday; 2° this pretty much all sounds like Chinese to me... Timo | |

| Sry Austin my fault, saw you there but somehow was expecting you to close trajectory more and allow us to do the turn two-wide as I had done some laps before while overtaking people. | |
