Is it just me or is anyone else having a lot of trouble getting a balanced setup for this track?  I am thinking of driving the Aston, which is pretty good on other tracks, but here I am really struggling to find a decent setup.

Any general suggestions welcome.

I am by no means fast here but I think this is one of those tracks where it is really easy to "over drive" the car.  And even more so with this Mod compared to the Apex Mod.
I find that if I try too hard I end up with a dirty lap but if I concentrate on going smooth rather than trying to push it and maybe braking a touch early rather than later and then getting back on the gas a little sooner out of a corner when I am more stable I can find just a touch more speed and knock off a bit of time.
Make any sense?
I don't express myself very well LOL

I think thats a pretty fair assessment. A fair number of the  corners have blind entrances. That makes consistent entries a lot more difficult.

this mod takes a few laps for the tires to get sticky, and even then, the small elevation changes make the car get very light on the corners so it is hard to keep it stuck to the track. I have no idea how Julian and Scott got those kind of times on so few laps! Makes me hate them just a little bit. :-)

Yep it is hard track if you push it  tried low camber setting then default with higher camber
 seems to corner better less under-steer on turn in  with default with less df
think track will get quicker as rubbers laid down

Find attached my setup and replay of the lap so far.

But you are right, most corner entries are blind.

Crazy insane, got no brain

Thanks guys.  I did a few more laps last night and things went a little better.  Your totally right on how easy it is to over driving the track and all those blind corners.

So I am still not fast, but did manage a few laps in the mid 1:16s.  For me it really helped to soften up the springs, like almost all the way down, stiffen the dampers that effect corner entry and soften the ones that effect corner exit.  Stiffen the sway bars and add much more down force than I am used to.

Then like you said drive smooth, let the car just roll through some corners, and be very smooth back on the power.

This combo is absolutely pleasure to drive. Just gotta be careful with that throttle.
In order to win you need to be willing to roll the dice.
