Default Circuit racing

Hi all,

Im new here. I have just been sponsored from my company and we have just bought an ap1 to use for circuit racing. I have quite a good knowledge of the game however it is the first time i am setting up a RWD for this season...usually. I used to run AWD cars but after this season time attack i was intruged by the s2000 and. Here i am

The more information i can get off you guys the better my chances are

I am looking at a 300bhp setup but chassis tuning is key for me...any help please?

Thanks

Need more info. What class are you running in? Does the ap1 have anything done to it currently?

you wont come anywhere near 300bhp unless you go forced induction with the F20 engine.

Hi sorry for the late reply... The classes are still being decifered as they are written in italian ( in malta there is no track ). The track is autodromo valle del templi racalmuto..there are a lot of corners mostly right handers with a up hill along the straight.

Costs were not in the scope of your statement. Your statement was explicit to the NA capabilities of the F20 engine.

barun79, how much track experience do you have?

My budget is 40k.

I have completed and alwayes finished in the top 3 in time attack open class with a stock engine sti, competed in hillclimbs and finished in top 2 each time and on avrage i do 10 track days a year...bearing in mind that to do one i have to take my car on a trailer and gooverseas as we. Don not have a circuit in malta

My built would be mainly focus on chassis... Most people go for power but clearly they havent been around a track enough ...balance is key in my point of view
