I don't usually post setups for top-tier single seaters, because they go so hellishly fast that I spend too much time worrying about keeping them on the road, leaving too little time to feel how well they're sticking to the road. I post this setup not because I claim any mastery of VRC's tantalizing 1999 IndyCar (with the oval-track kit) but because of the version of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway I tested it on. I must have a half-dozen vers of the fabled Brickyard (including one named "Brickyard") but this ver, labelled simply "aa_ims" is far and away the best, in terms of overall production values, but specifically wrt AI and cameras (thanks to Baeda's add-on). My setup is hardly definitive (my best lap wouldn't have made the grid of the '99 500), but it does follow Indy-Car practice by reserving 6th gear as an 'economy' gear if you find yourself leading after 190 laps. OTOH, this setup is for only a 10-lap race at 90% boost (they didn't have Push-to-Pass in those days, so 100% boost was pretty much for qualy and desperate lunges). IIWY, I would double the fuel load and try a 20-lap AI race and think about ways you could improve it.
