MORE SETUP PROGRESS WITH NEW ETS SPEC

Well, the third tests brings the third setup sheet (setup test #1, setup test #2)

After careful studying my notes and reports from the past test days, I noted some similarities of the Matrix tires with a tire we used in the past. For this reason I digged out my old notes from some time ago and checked our setup changes and directions.

At the end of the test weekend I was able to improve the handling and lower the laptimes by following changes:

  • Softer spring setting in front
  • 4,5mm front and rear bumpsteer shims
  • Little higher inner toplinks
  • oOnly 1,0mm under top outer ST03 ballstuds
  • 0,5mm less shims under FF and FR lower arms
  • Shorter rear wheelbase (-4deg short)
Overall just some small changed here and there, but with a big overall effect and gain!
