Description
**THIS SETUP HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH MY SETTINGS FROM SEASON 3**

Now this was a toughie to get right!

Will definitely take a bit of practice this one!
It's fast, pointy and lively in the bends. I've tried to make it as balanced as I could without causing the car to understeer into every bend. This setup can be twitchy if not handled properly, try to be careful mashing the throttle while on the curbs as you will get sudden snap oversteer that you will struggle to collect and then end up in the wall.
I know this sounds like it might be a bad setup up but it's not, the fastest way through the corners on this track is to have a car that wants to dive into them, it's just going to be down to you to control it.
If you're feeling adventurous you could add 1 click of rear tow and 1 click of ballast to the rear to make it even faster in the bends but also raising the risk of snap oversteer especially in the uphill right hand in sector 2 (before the slow chicane), doing this will make the back end more stable but also make the car more pointy so it completly changes the balance of the setup with these small changes.

Best advice I can give is slap on a set of Mediums with around 12kg of fuel and get used to driving it that way when it feels heavy and sluggish, then put on some Supersofts with half the fuel and you'll feel the difference immediately and gain so much more confidence!

So practice practice practice, you will only get faster!
Good luck ;)

Heh. If it was the fronts that dropped grip the heaviest it was probably due to the front camber settings. But yeah generally I had a similar problem with the performance drop once the tyres hit 20% or so. Remember that this etup was updated with my settings I used for season 3 where I had a few chassis and downforce upgrades added and most of the engine upgrades so that's why there is a little more camber on some of the setups than I used in season 1.

I must take back what I'd said before, because your setup turned out to be faster in career mode, but in the race tyre wear suddenly felt like a problem. I started on used (just 4%) supers, which felt great only till about lap 10, so I put on fresh softs, but they were losing grip almost as quickly and I got rid of them for a spare set of supers somewhat mid-distance, which gave up 20 laps before the finish that I spent on mediums (actually liked 'em better than softs). So I'm wondering, did you have wear problems in Hungary? Actually, it's not even the wear itself in percentage, it's the loss of pace, which was more noticeable than before. I didn't expect it to be worse than @ Silverstone, 'cuz in RL most drivers only pitted once in 2017. Couldn't be bothered to compare wear on this setup and a different one, though, just maybe you know from experience.

100% is close to real life lap times on most tracks, some though are even faster! Ha. Try 101% and see the difference in the AI behaviour!
Maxim Leonovich 14 Jan, 2018 @ 10:13pm 
Oh, btw, do you know at what difficulty qually and race laptimes start matching real-life? I'm usually a couple seconds off the RL pace, I also use no assists but 110%... That's alien territory :)

Guess it's just down to driving style dude, this has worked for me, maybe I'm just more aggressive as I'm playing on 110% and no assists. I don't like the car understeering too muchon a track like Hungary as I find I gain much more time when the car is loose. :)

Drove it, couldn't cope - seemed very snappy on the edge. 5-5 is a pretty low df for this track, guess that's why... Try mine ;) - Hungary McLaren TT

Hey man, thanks for this insane Setup!! It took a while for me to get used to it but after a few laps and in FP3 I really could oush to the limit. And in Q I was even able to drive crazy lap times in rain for first time (always struggled then)! Thanks again and keep on creating such great Setups! :D
