This is definitely fixed as this Porsche and other updated cars are very nice on their default wing settings, so nice that I even added more wing on this setup! The effect of the wing is quite straightforward ofcourse, but hugely important. The rear wing was often a big point of frustration for me on older physics, GT3 in particular, as it not only had a massive impact on top speed, but also just made the car understeer to nowhere. This is why I ended up with a bit lower pressures in the right side tires, while increasing the rear left pressure slightly. This can create a massive difference in tire temperatures between left and right, up to 30c was quite common in the Porsche. Silverstone puts a lot of load on the left side tires, with corners like Abbey, Copse, Stowe and Club. Generally you can assume that the default pressures already get you quite close to this ideal point and you can tune it to suit a specific track. In the right operating range, higher pressure will increase the middle temperature and vice versa. With telemetry, you want to aim for the middle tire temperature to be right in between the outer and inner tire temperatures. A bit lower pressure in the least loaded tires helps keep up the temperature in these tires, which definitely helps in this Porsche, which almost lifts its inside front wheel off the ground in a lot of corners. Telemetry is a must to get this perfect and it makes it quite simple to tune, but in general you will end up with a bit more pressure in the 'more loaded' side of the car, which will be the left side on most tracks. Which setting you choose exactly is mostly determined by how safe you want to be and how much you trust your braking foot.Ī new addition to the RaceRoom setups, but a crucial one to get right. In general, you want to shift the brake bias to the rear, until you find the point where you lock up the rears before the fronts and choose a setting just above that. It is very driver dependent what setting you end up on, but there is definitely an optimal range. Luckily, it is quite an easy setting to tweak and can even be done while driving. Even more so when flatspots come into play in the future. Usually the first setting I change on any car, the brake bias is extremely important on cars without ABS such as this Porsche.
