Just got my first Formula Series victory with this set-up (after finally finding a FF1600 race without the pesky super fast Australians and Canadian 😉) Thanks Edward !
@@edwardbuchanan871 I don't think I blinked for the final two laps 😁. A couple of guys behind were defintely faster but your set-up really allows you to smash those kerbs at both Variante Alta and at the mickey mouse chicane and I honestly think this was the difference 👍
@@edwardbuchanan871 Lol. Like, what could possibly go wrong, eh? Just tried an official practice server. The setup feels very good. I managed a 2.03.06 which is a pretty pleasing first practice result for me. Bloody hard to not get off-track penalties here though.
@@edwardbuchanan871 I started with standard because foolishly I didn't like the sound of hitting the rev limiter and being drafted but I agree it's really awkward here. Short is better but I just tried tall and that is better still. It's not a tall track in the sense of top speed but the gearing suits the corners best and I was instantly several tenths faster (but still much slower than you).
Not sure if im lookig forward to Imola haha. Im struggling to find speed. And man the off tracks. And that last chicane..... Still Got P2 in my race as the 4 car. Thanks for the guide and setup.
@@edwardbuchanan871 Yeah I think its a bit to big for the ray. I do prefer the smaller tracks with it. At least it was dry. Last season the Imola race was a lake in my race. I do like racing in the rain but that was just extreme ha.
I am leaving a lot oh time on the table to gain in turns 2-3. I feel like the rear end is too loose so I have to coast. Do I have to just get comfortable with applying throttle to get grip again? Going to practice active reset, do you have a marker for turn in?
@@darren1185 ya a little throttle puts the weight back on the rear tires and helps carry more speed. Marker wise between the 50 and the 100 closer to the 50 when the tires are warmed up
@@MAMAMA341 probably you have the gear stack different. The guide is standard stack. The race i posted is short, I decided to give it a try to if I could gain some time ⏲️
@MAMAMA341 for sure, changing the gearing for different tracks. If you're struggling at oran, the short is easier, but the standard will get you a little faster lap time

@AndyMiddleton very nice 👌. You probably had to towel off after that I bet 😉

@@AndyMiddleton I found the same thing 😄
Thanks Edward. This track configuration is like a superb Italian banquet, with a turd served for dessert. Hate that last chicane.
@simonolsen9995 I haven't raced this configuration. I can't see any issues coming up 😄

@simonolsen9995 nice start. Sooo many x's . Still not sure short or standard

@@NickAronson I am going to try a tank with tall, I could see that might fit 🤔
Appreciate the content you are creating! Can we get a telemetry overlay next track guide?
@darren1185 hope it's helping out. Unfortunately I don't have a clue about all the back add-ons. Time is the other problem, not enough of it
@@edwardbuchanan871 I downloaded and used the iron overlays pretty easy to do but I understand time issue!

@@Daniel-Fogelberg ohhh those x's. P2 can't complain about that. I find the Ray just doesn't quite fit into this track

Thanks, trying to learn FF1600 the setup transforms the car. Do you have a Garage 61 account? Subbed.
@@DazSharplesSim-Racing glad it's helping. No garage 61 account

THX BRO
@sandordomonkos8351 hope it knocks off a little time ⏲️
I use your setup advise but max rev to go from 3 to 4th is at 160 but when you are at max rev on 3rd at 130 how come?
@@MAMAMA341 probably you have the gear stack different. The guide is standard stack. The race i posted is short, I decided to give it a try to if I could gain some time ⏲️
@@edwardbuchanan871 Any6 recomendation on gerar stack ? and do you change your gear stack per track?
@MAMAMA341 for sure, changing the gearing for different tracks. If you're struggling at oran, the short is easier, but the standard will get you a little faster lap time
@@edwardbuchanan871 where do you go to change the gearing I can't find it ?
@@MAMAMA341 at the bottom of your setup screen, it's called gear stack
There is a slowdown on the entry to the worst corner in the history of roads.
Just to add to the grossness of it all.
@tommo3190 I would like to have been at that track design meeting because whatever they took, I want some
@@edwardbuchanan871 there was definitely something in the kool aid
