"I;ve just got seriously into this game today, what i have realised is that traction control is the most important set up aspect, you really need to have none to get the most power out of your car, traction control cuts fuel to the engine when their is any wheel spin, since i have did that it feels very realistic, i used to think it was too much of an arcade game but is it hell, well ive just been looking for information on formula one car set ups, I think there is too much negative rear camber on these set ups which is reducing power available to the rear wheels and traction control is way too high
ive not tried it out yet but i think making the suspension slightly stiffer than default by increasing the bump and rebound may be the way to get that little bit more out of the car, you dont touch the spring stiffness
the other thing i found out is that if you lower your car then you need to increase the negative camber slightly to the front wheels, the general rule is that the rear camber should be as nuetral as possible.
Front toe should ideally be nuetral unless you have exhausted all other options to increase the turn in of your car, then it should be slightly negative thats pointing inwards at front and positive at rear but i dont think you can touch the rear toe in this game, but the advice is to have it nuetral and only use it as a last resort"

"What times have you been able to post? What car are you driving? I have also tried to play with the settings but I can't beat my times that I did, using the setup advise on this web page."

"Are you using a steering wheel and pedals? Also, a 1:30 flat lap around Melbourne is only good for a 17-18 qualification spot. How do we get down to 1:26 - 1:27 range to stay in the top 10? I still would love to know at what point can you get an offer at a top tier team. I ran some tests with the Renaut and I got a low 1:26 time. But in HARD career mode, I can't ever get to the tier 1 or tier 2 cars! :("
