also theres no need for calling people morons keep that to yourself pleaseWhoever posts setups and says "You don't use 1st or 7th gear" is an absolute moron and shouldn't be doing setups.
That is all.
i was using ramon van rijns setup and it was like i was driving with a boat (i was in a lotus maybe thats the problem??) but i only did 7laps on sepang i managed to get a 1.41 with default setup pretty bad but with ramon van rijns setup i only could get a 1.41
@ MADscuderia, I agree that not using all the gears is a waste of potential and is stupid in basic.
but in his defence, if you are manual shifting and it protects you from screwing your shift up then I think it is smarter to "remove" a gear then to lose control.
Give me a couple of hours Kaz and I'll post back with a set up that works for me in a Lotus. It'll be a variation on the set up in the first post but it should work. I'll warn you about any under/over steering.If anyone thinks they have a good setup for a Lotus, I would be greatly interested.
Actually, there are a few tracks that F1 Cars don't use 7th gear and they do setup there cars to use only up to 6th gear. However, Kuala Lumpar isn't one of them. There is also a few tracks that F1 Cars don't use 1st gear, but again, Kuala Lumpar isn't one of them.
On a side note, I think if people want to use only 5 or 6 gears, and want to suggest a 5 or 6 gear setup, then hey, why not. If those setups are not to your liking, then just ignore there setup and move on to the next.
Last but not least. I've been trying so many different setups with Kuala Lumpar. I swear this track hates the 3 new teams, cause I'm in the top 300 PC drivers on time trials in a McLaren, but I can't for the life of me get into the 1:38's in Career with a Lotus.

I have to say that fallas gear ratio is genius man!! Good job man, really fast acceleration!
What the hell? If you say this in the face of an F1 engineer he'd slap you. Not using one of the gears is effectively wasting 1/7th of the performance. The gear changes are so quick that not using a gear doesn't mean a gain in time, ever.
Do you have any evidence of this? Can you show me an on board lap where a car doesn't shift to 7th?
