Setups
(Organized by car)
Aston Martin (rFactor)
Indianapolis Road Course
Version 1 last updated Oct 23, 2009 [Download]
Race set, from Watkins files.
Aston Martin DBR9 (rFactor)
Autodrom Most - Chicane
Version 1 last updated Dec 22, 2009 [Download]
Race set, 1:33s-34s without too much effort. Brake a bit early and touch the gas through the esses to keep the weight on the back, otherwise the car will not rotate so easily. Fuel is correct for 40 min
Eurospeedway GP
Version 1 last updated Feb 12, 2010 [Download]
Race set, very stable. Brake a bit early for every corner, as this set does not want to be driven sideways. Reasonably safe to use curbs on slower corners. Made for high TC settings. R best of 1:42.8.
Aston Martin DBR9 (RACE'07)
Nordschleife
Version 1 last updated Dec 20, 2009 [Download]
Race set, correct gearing so the engine won't burn up by Tiergarten. Very manageable, capable of amazing grip at high speed, though more so thanks to the car than the setup! Be confident.
Road America
Version 1 last updated Jan 03, 2010 [Download]
Race set, fuel is conservative. Open rad's if you want to run boost 3 entire distance. Best of 2:03.3, consistent high 2:03s.
Aston Martin DBR9 (rFactor)
Road Atlanta
Version 1 last updated Jan 01, 2010 [Download]
Race set, fuel not set to anything particular. Rotates great but take care not to input too much steering, it will jack the outside rear up!
Baja Bug (rFactor)
Outback Valley
Version 1 last updated Mar 16, 2008 [Download]
Race set, stiffer than stock. Dampers adjusted to better suit all the bumpy carousel corners. Shift hard and don't let up!!
BMW E90 (rFactor)

Version 1 last updated Feb 22, 2009 [Download]
Race set, modified from the monza set.

Version 1 last updated Aug 09, 2009 [Download]
Race set, around 1:10 flat on a 2-stop.
Northamptonshire
Version 1 last updated Jul 27, 2009 [Download]
(Actually my A1 Ring setup.) Rotates well on the throttle. May bottom out, if so add third spring packers.
Cadillac CTS-V (rFactor)
Indianapolis Road Course
Version 1 last updated Oct 23, 2009 [Download]
Race set, from Watkins files.
Champcar '06 (rFactor)

Good for 6:45s, 60 min race set.
Courage C65 (rFactor)
Road America
Version 1 last updated Dec 05, 2009 [Download]
Race set, rotates well. Try to apex the corners classically rather than super-late.. you must make use of the front tires or the rears will wear out too fast. pb on race trim of 1:54.5
Creation CA06 (rFactor)
Bahrain
Version 1 last updated Dec 25, 2009 [Download]
Race set. Best of 1:46.1 with boost on 5. need to hustle it out of the hairpin (T7..?). Pretty balanced everywhere else. Brake a bit early for most corners (before tire markings.)
Mid Ohio
Version 1 last updated Oct 23, 2009 [Download]
Race set. Feels very solid. Avoid curbs, of course. Softs may last but mediums wear nicely. Capable of consecutive 1:11.2-.4's (or faster?)
Mid Ohio
Version 1 last updated Oct 23, 2009 [Download]
Q set. High wing, made for sector 2. Down one gear for T1 then nail it asap to get it to rotate! Best of 1:10.2
Ferrari 575 (GTR 2)
Le Mans
Version 1 last updated Nov 23, 2009 [Download]
Race set, preliminary. Comfy feel and geared as long as possible. Hard rear tires are recommended due to uneven wear of the medium compound.
Ford Falcon (rFactor)
Bathurst - Mt Panorama
Version 1 last updated Oct 12, 2008 [Download]
Race set, brake bias is set in such a way you'll need to feed a bit of throttle to keep the rear from locking (one of the few ways to get these beasts to rotate!) Otherwise a pretty stable and fast set.
Formula 1 '05 (rFactor)
A1 Ring
Version 1 last updated Jan 01, 2008 [Download]
Initial set, needs wing tuning and general tweaks. Should not bottom out very much. Post times and thoughts, please!

Version 1 last updated Sep 23, 2007 [Download]

Formula Nippon (rFactor)
Adelaide '88
Version 1 last updated Sep 22, 2009 [Download]
Race set, good for 1:19s. Gearing set up for the tight left in sector 3. Enter the left-right chicane off the throttle, no braking. Temps look good.
Donington Park
Version 1 last updated Aug 24, 2009 [Download]
Race set, about 1:18 flat. Carry lots of speed off the throttle into the old hairpin (T4) and coppice (T8). Very balanced setup, feels easy to get on the power out of the slow corners.
Estoril '88
Version 1 last updated Jul 14, 2009 [Download]
No-stop set, heavy with fuel.
Spa-Francorchamps '88
Version 1 last updated Aug 10, 2009 [Download]

Lienz 24 Hour
Version 1 last updated Dec 17, 2007 [Download]

Porsche 996 GT3 (rFactor)
Indianapolis Road Course
Version 1 last updated Oct 23, 2009 [Download]
Race set, from Watkins files. Final drive may be too long, but balance should be good for all of the 3rd-4th gear corners here.
Melbourne
Version 1 last updated Aug 20, 2009 [Download]
Race set, feels good. Brake early here (just before where all the rubber appears laid down.)
Putnam Park Road Course

Porsche 997 RSR (rFactor)
Lienz GP Long
Version 1 last updated Aug 19, 2009 [Download]
Race set, good for 2:54-2:56s on newer tires. Reduce rear spring rate *or* add more rear wing if it's sketchy for you. Also note your preferred steering angle, I like mine 20+...
Paul Ricard '75
Version 1 last updated Oct 16, 2009 [Download]
Race set on mediums, though softs are likely to last. 1:52s with meds are what I've gotten out of it. Increase rear toe out one click if it is too slippy-slidey in the slower corners for you. Fuel strat
Porsche Cup '07 (rFactor)
Nordschleife
Version 1 last updated Jun 23, 2009 [Download]
Race set, about as stable as it can get out of corners while still being fast. Adjust steer ratio to suit.

Brianza
Version 1 last updated Jan 10, 2010 [Download]
Race set. Very stable. Curb usage is OK. If you can drive within the slip angle limits of the rear tyres, you may find this is a very fast set indeed!
Lime Rock Park
Version 1 last updated Dec 26, 2009 [Download]
Race set, fuel is correct. Do not jerk the wheel on turn-in. a bit loose in T1 + T3 braking, but use it to your advantage to get the nose pointed in!
