Using telemetry to refine setups
Hi all, I need some help with understanding and analysing telemetry. I’ve recently got and set-up a telemetry app to mainly help me look at tyre surface and carcass temps so I can set pressu...

@ScarDuck14About 4 days ago I accidentally came upon a way to set up the car that made no sense at 1st and really couldn't believe it.
Basically wings high down force and ride height low down force.
Today I set a personal best at Jeddah with 32/47 wings and 9/8 RH.
Kerbs seem to be a thing of the past so far as I can tell.
Like the guy said I would have never thought this.
What’s your PB with this setup?
@Blackbird90 Please understand Im not fast and this is in a maxed out car in career mode with ABS,Racing line, and Automatic transmission on controller.
1:28.738

@BadMayh3mDude only Pathetic 110 elitist Git Guders who have to shoehorn they are amazing into every post care. And we don’t care about them. 😁
I couldn’t even tell you any of my lap times despite tens of thousands of laps.
- @ScarDuck14 Got 2 words for ya.....THE NOTEBOOK!
Getting back to the OP this is how I refine setups....how can you tell if a change is faster or slower unless you keep track?

1:28.738Ah. I see. But have you tried this setup in TT? I doubt such high downforce setup can out pace low wings setup with long long straights at Jeddah. 🤔
- @ScarDuck14 I’m only at 105 😎
- @BadMayh3m Because I only play myteam. I select my base setup for each GP. Do a few laps on FP1. Make changes to set up I think I need. Do practice program at end FP1 if my car feels good and I’m lapping within 3 tenths of my main rivals on performance rankings. I go to FP2 do last 2 practice programs. Fine tune settings then on to qualifying. I take no notice of my lap times or anyone else’s. Just the gap between mine and theirs
- @Blackbird90 You don’t feel the need to shoehorn that into every post like the Git Guders do. telling people who are asking for help. Instead off using their skill set to actually give any real help they say “ I do 110ai you’ve just got to get better and sweat and spend hours upon hours like I do to git gud’.
@BadMayh3m I have got this one. I asked for a sim rig for Christmas and EA gave me this instead 😂.
- @ScarDuck14 Budget Cuts🤣
- @Blackbird90 Because of the tire issues I consider TT times to be unfair imo.
If I was running EVEN cars then yes my wings would have to be lower but ride height would still be 9/8.
Wings would still have higher downforce than normal setups.
Example...just set a new PB at Australia but I had to set my wings to 24/39 and lowered my time by a touch over half a second.
The 9/8 RH is low downforce allowing me to run higher downforce on wings and there appears to be an advantage to doing it this way.
How easily I'm setting these PBs is just 1 of the surprises now add the fact I'm setting pb in an Alpha Tauri which is the 5th highest car and your talking close to a second improvement if I switch back to RedBull.
Very few things you can do that you will see these types of improvements imo.
