I just had a look at the results of S4/R2 at Watkins Glen Stockcar, and I was highly discouraged. I did some testing at the same track for the SRCA Americas S1/R1 race, and with a slightly tweaked baseline setup I was 3 sec of the pace.
I've only been sim racing for 1 year, so I'm still learning when it comes to making setups. It's a steep learning curve, and there aren't many setups going around in the community.
Looking at the results, I notice that some people are in the same boat as me. The difference in top speed between the top drivers and mid-pick is almost 10km/h. I know that's not all due to differences in setup, but in this case I'm pretty sure a lot of it is.
I just want to have an open discussion. I'm not saying we should definitely have fixed setups. I just feel a bit discouraged even though I know that this series is more about being safe than it is about being competitive. If this series is meant for newcomers, maybe there is something we can do to help and level the playing field.
