Qualy setup to Race setup
What would you guys recommend to change when comparing your setup from qualy to race if anything? For example here is an example setup for a track I have Wings 28 / 24 Differential 55 On / 51 Off...
If you aren't using Parc Ferme rule or you want to set up for the 'race' (sacrificing 2-3 tenths in qualifying but with great benefits in race pace), usually I test setup in practice with medium-high wear (20-30%) and my results are typically:
- add some click in wing, especially the rear (for example Spa 16-12 TT --> 19-18 Race / Silverstone 28-18 TT --> 27-28 Race)
- suspension less stiff (Silverstone 41-15-8-1 --> 30-5-1-1)
- I adjust differential on release if the new wings need it
- tyre pressure modified to be in the range of perfect temperature if needed
Hope it helps to give an idea, but I suggest to make effective comparison tests in track 😉

Forgot a bit of fine tuning with geometry 🙂
PS: just worked about Zandvoort, from 50-41 TT to 50-47 for the race (ok 46 too but little more stable 47, less risk)
