    Michael Mazurek was practising on Rouen and gave me his Auto Union setup. I'm sure he won't mind if I share it, because he's not doing the series himself.

    Oh, those setups :mad:. I (pretty much) drive with the default one, because trying to change something, almost ALWAYS ending with worse lap time for me :(. But, I think, the most important factor it is lack of time, everyone recommending to change just one thing at a time and then drive xxxx laps and then come back and change another and so on.
    For the last race, I really liked the Auto Union, but I have found it to be a little harder to control then the Mercedes. My favorite from this three cars it is Alfa but I found it the most "difficult" one on the default setup.

    Thank you guys. I didn't feel like it was my best lap in qualifying, but the clock at the end showed otherwise. @Maddie Shepherd made my race “easier” with her DT. Everything was under control until I mistakenly shifted into first gear at the end of the backstraight around lap 10. Then after a few spins on the grass I found the track again. @Neil Wood didn't want to wait for me and drove past. After a few laps of good racing I was able to take P1 again. Close racing is pretty difficult with these cars because they don't like changing direction that much :D But I think we managed it very well ;) Congrats to all finishers and untill next time!
    Setup: I just stiffened the springs and lowered the ride height. Since my driving time is limited, I decided to just do laps. I think that gave me more lap time than tinkering with the setup.

    Yeah, shame it is too late.
    I'm sure we'll use it for another series sometime.
