OK, I been running rF2 for quite a while, mostly GT3's and other similar mods.
I do my own setups using Motec and develop/modify them for each race track to balance the car and decrease lap times.
Many times after a week of practice I show up at the track on race day and everyone is 2-5 seconds/lap faster than I am. At times I have been passed a setup from another driver, sometimes I have run those setups.
Some of those received setups upon observation seem really wacko to general engineering analysis, but on the track do actually go faster than what I developed.
Does anyone here have any actual racing experience that can substantiate that these setups we generate are anywhere near the actual setups they use on the real race cars.
.... or is it really just a fantasy world we are all wrapped up in and that just let it go that it relates anything to the real world?
