Got a G920 yesterday but had nothing to mount it on, so only had a couple of hopeless laps in the Abarth. Spent this morning mounting the pedals and wheels onto an old PC stand. Sorted now but the kids have got hold of it, should have time to have a real go at the F40 tomorrow.

Wheel is a massive improvement, cut loads off my fastest Abarth time at Monza. I can see the learning curve on factory ABS being quite high though.

This week's challenge will come as a blessed relief to users with a controller - a beautifully linear, un-spinnable and incredibly sticky car with brakes that won't lock up!

For some reason AC crashed/hung causing me to restart my PC every time I tried to hotlap in the F40 at Monza so missed that one. Hopefully I can get this one to work.

Took a lot of time to go from 40/41s to below, all about consistency, this game is freakin awesome with a wheel, unfortunately as I'm in the lounge I'm victim to torrents of abuse from the other half. pfft.

Mixed day today, spent about 30 laps this morning being crap before I restarted and realised ABS was OFF not Factory, d'oh, meant I was on it as soon as I changed it though and finally got into the 1:36's, maybe a few more tenths to get but not much without setup changes I guess. Managed 1:38.0 with ABS off.

Did about 60 laps in total, need a shower now, damn that wheel is hard work.

Factory ABS =!= ABS off
Equally, it isnt the same as having it set to "on" either

As far as I understand it, TC and ABS must be set to factory. Are setup changes allowed? I tried messing with brake bias but not sure if it's a car limitation but it didn't do anything.

I hadn't really considered it as I dont generally mess with the car setups myself, other than final drive ratios.
I think in the interests of fairness, it would be best to outlaw fiddling with brake/suspension/tyre pressure settings etc. as it disadvantages people who don't have an intimate working knowledge of how all of these things affect the car and can drastically alter laptimes.

Found this on the first post in this thread:

3. You're free to change all setup options except fuel load (which must always be 30 litres), unless the event specifies further restrictions on other setup options such as tyres, drivetrain, limiters or geo

Fair enough, in that case then adjust away
