This is one of my latest setups.
I find it really easy to drive on a variety of tracks and managed to put in a lap of 8:37.358 on the 'Ring, placing me inside the top 500 for now, just by drivng clean and exploring the car's limits.

Please feel free to try the setup out and give any criticism and improvements you deem appropriate.

Hey Luke...

I tried out your Eclipse - very nice alternative C-Class car! I was able to run a 1:31.725 on Road Atlanta (where I do almost all of my first-test-runs with new cars), which would sit at #629 right now. The only change I made was to set the Brake Pressure down to 85% --- and I consider that just a personal preference setting (I find it a bit easier to run without ABS, and lowering the pressure gives me a little more play in the brake trigger).

Another good example of sharing a good car - thanks again!

Well done on this setup Luke.

The car has great turn in and absolutely sticks. The only thing I changed was I lowered the brake pressure to 105% so that I'd have more trigger room to modulate the brakes before abs kicked in. I was able to manage a 1:01.702 lap time on Tsukuba. I'm not sure how this compares to everyone else but is the fastest I've ever ran the track in c class.

Thanks for sharing.

Edit: Would everyone else agree that this car is strongest on tracks with many turns and short straights?

I'm looking for some clean, B-level racing.

Glad to hear it's working for some of you.
