Gear Ratio tutorial

[Tobiman]

I'm at the point where I feel my setup could use a bit more work. After getting comfortable with alignment, aero and suspension tuning, I want to dable in gear ratios in order to improve my time. Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction?

are you looking for tutorials or more generic hints and tips

A detailed tutorial would be awesome but I wouldn't pass up on hints and tips since I know nothing about gear ratios.

1. Took me a bit to find it again, but here's a really convenient setup development tool. I used it a lot when I was new to creating race car setups:

2. The following website was made with rFactor in mind, but still it is a good setup development guide since the basics apply to any race car setup:

Hope it will help you too.

Mapu's post didn't describe where this tool came from or what it does, so I went looking to get some understanding. This is where one can learn more about this tool:
