Has anyone made a "quick reference" tuning guide? What I envision this to be would be something around the size of a standard sheet of paper (8.5 x 11) that had a table on it with one side saying something like “Oversteering” the other “Understeering” and then underneath those things you can do to counteract that with a small (+ .1 increments) that would have a typical increment you would add for that setting. And one for things like Speed vs. Grip, loose back end etc. Similar to what is in the unofficial manual but just with those tables and a little more complete (as I said with the increments) and maybe also a hierarchy that would say “Change spring stiffness first, then rebound, then dampening”.


I only mention it because I’m god awful slow but I also kind of suck at tuning so I’ll get a car to a point where it is very stable and easy to handle but far slower then anything else; or vice versa very fast in straight-aways but difficult to manage in turning. It would be nice to have a quick reference that I can look at to make these minor changes so I can really tweak it rather then using large increments to try and see what effect it has.

look for Bobs setup guide

That's a great guide, made by Bob!

edit: smith, not the builder one..

"I made it!"

Though I'd somewhat suggest, following the words of some famous racing driver: "Drive more, tweak less." Once you find a stable setup, don't mess with it for a while, just drive and get used to it. Personally I used to fall in to the pit of constantly tweaking the set and lap times getting progressively worse.

My guide doesn't exactly fit on one sheet of paper, unless it's very small print on a very large bit of paper. I've seen some quick references around. I might add one to the end of the guide at some point to summarise.
