The default setups are quite wonky and require tweaking to be more drivable.

Any hints please

Setups are a black art to me

Play with anti-roll bars and differential settings. Increase both settings for more grip but less cornering speed. Then (from the little I've gathered thus far) I feel like a few units lower front wing compared to rear is better as the engine braking oversteer is strong, the car would snap very easily. So it sort of provides understeer to balance the oversteer.

I'm still struggling with ride height/weight distribution though

But on a track such as Spa I noticed ride height needs to be pretty high in order to not spin in Eau Rouge

The default ride height is very close to optimal I'd imagine.

Thank you I'll give that a go.

Actually I dunno what's going on anymore.

I tried the defaults again and went faster with them than my own setups...I guess the defaults work really well here.

So, uhh...no one should ever trust me with setup help

I'm always too impatient to try defaults so I always go changing everything. But I now see the defaults are superb, few changes and it's good.

I just feel so dumb now. Oh wait, I am.

Thanks a lot for the tag! But I am afraid I am already booked over at the Raceroom event, which has group 5 cars in it.

This is at 10:00GMT if you were interested.

Race 1 was fun, but with a stupid spin and lost wing on the third last lap through Eau Rouge. My game had a weird crash during warmup for Race 2, and I couldn't rejoin.
