    In general, I don't spend time on setups. But I'm trying to learn how changes affect these cars. I can see where I am losing time, it's just a matter of getting the car to do what I want it to do.

    I'm using the Ford GT at Slovakia Ring as a test bench.
    ADAC 2013 Ford GT 1:59.883
    GTR3 Ford GT
    My consecutive laptimes.
    2:01:057
    2:01:083
    2:01:075
    2:01:065
    I tried increasing Toe out (2 clicks) , softening front ARB (1 click), softening dampers (2 clicks). My laptimes don't seem to change - frustrated. Do I need to make bigger changes? Or is it my driving?

    Problems I'm having are:
    Difficult Turn-in (except turn 8 & 10).
    Want the car to rotate a little better at all speeds without snap oversteer.
    off throttle push in slow/medium corners (the front grips more in high speed off throttle situations)
    Bad on throttle push in turns 4/5 and 11

    Anyone have a setup they could share?

    2:01:123 lap (accidentally shifted into 1st gear on this lap). If I push any harder, the car pushes badly.
