Super duper grippy You really need a low ride height and medium wings. Problem I had is that you do need a little more grip at the front, so I have three points more on the front than the back, but that compromised my ride height a little. Mind you, I still lose it in the last corner from time to time, so we'll have to see whether I can win it if I keep crashing lol wow... thats really fast... i really need to find places where I could read topics about gp4 car setups so i can learn how to properly set up my car and get super 'hot' laps... coz i've reached my limits @ barcelona when it comes to the driving line and braking points... i've spent the whole test session working on my consistency, driving line and finding braking points so i could feel comfortable driving here in the next weekend (the GP)... I was thinking about how i could improve my race consistency (a problem i still need to solve, considering my last race performance) when I had an idea watching the new F1 qualifying format and decided to give a try... so i've just hit the track with high fuel load (for 25 laps) and focused on keeping the things in the black stuff instead of setting fastest laps... after 20 laps burning fuel i was driving in a consistent line, the car was light and i tried to set good times in the last 5 laps

Plank wear is the yellow numbers. And one of the four numbers can't go over 1.00. We don't add them up. If the front right one goes over 1.00 then it's too much...

Viper: I've shared my times and setup tips, why not share your time too?

I think I posted my best in the test session. I haven't done much racing in the past days as I have been playing again in 3ds max, nothing gp4 related though. Anyway, I've done a best of 1:14.301 and been lapping in the 1:14.5 consistently...but that was 5 days ago...don't know how I'm doing now...
