Cost & space unfortunately, also the need to update my PC takes priority sadly.
Racing with 26 fps in Silverstone wasn't ideal. Going around Sakitto, my fps drops to 36 at certain points of the track.

@Dama_The_Crow Is your TT time @Sakitto representative?

Yes, I set it last night during practice for league. Official TT time was with default setup, and with my setup, for race time 21h, was a bit slower but not much.

I pulled a 1:42.8 but averaged out in the 1:43s. I have a power oversteer issue which I can't seem to solve at moment.

Twitchyness on kerbs, play with your fast bump/rebound.

power ramp adjustment?

Found the coast helped with understeer when I tested but didn't go into a full setup. But got a good baseline to work from.

I've adjusted this as far as it can go in either direction and got it to the best spot so it's not this. I can't figure what else could help reduce it. All I can think of is the suspension.

When you hit the accelerator the front lifts and the back drops, so this should induce understeer as there is less weight on the front providing grip. What happens instead is the opposite, the front dives into the turn. Its useful in some situations but not on high speed twisting tracks where a balanced smooth setup is needed.

If you've tried reducing front slow rebound or rear slow bump to make the front lift a little faster. You could try messing with the Clutches or Preload. Reducing the number of clutches should help and if not you could try increasing the Preload, Both of which should increase stability when it transitions from coast to power or vice versa.

This I will try as since balancing out the dampers it has been a little more skitish (front floating into the turn then floating back) but it rides kerbs and bumps well and doesn't wobble lots after turning in.

increasing the Preload

another bit I'll try.

Reducing the number of clutches
Tried this, it spins out to easy when my leg gets tired and begins to stab at the throttle. I think I've got them just where I need them to hold the rear exiting corners.

Does anyone else have a wofty front end in the last corner (long right hander into the finish straight)?

I think that's just the nature of the corner not much you can do to the setup to solve that... just keep your foot in and keep turning ;)

You'll be a braver man than I to go in there side by side. I almost always end up pushed to the limits of the track on exit there...

I will never try to do that intentionally. I was so scared when i took that corner at full throttle for the first time and the decompression from that little bump kicked in...there may be braver guys around than the two of us :chicken:

I'm not sure I'd use the word brave :) . people with momentum just need to hold for the main straight. Gonna be interesting all right

I would still say anyone to try it requires planet sized titanium knackers.
