Hi Fredric

Well what do you specificly want? the PI software.....and/or something conserning setups? There are a few books that can give you a general idea...but seem to be quite theoretical....in your case probably you'd be interested in something more hands-on....I post back later with 2 or 3 books.

By the way....are you only looking for suspension steup info or do you want some info conserning aerodynamics and engine?

Hello Fredric,
you could try playing with set-ups in EA's Formula 1 challenge 99-02..it's quite realistic..probably you can find how to set up your car somewere in the internet

[Monstrobolaxa]

In any case if you play F1 Challenge....install the 2004RH pack...it's more realistic and have the engine braking, diff preload, 3rd damper/spring.....a whole lot more options then in the original version.

I haven't forgotten the books....I'll post them tomorrow....

thanx guys for your info. but in fact what the teammanager said was that i know --- about technical things. so what i have to do is if i have driven i have to look on the computer and i have to be able to analyse everything and then change that into a different set up. but it was the first time i saw such a program, so i just have to learn it. but those books you said can be very interesting. the most interesting things about set up are suspension and rollbar and aerodynamics.

if u could help me with those i would appreciate it enormous

thansx again

Hi Fredric

Well like I promised here is the book....it ended up only being one book cause the others I looked at seem to be more for an engineers point of view....specially looking at car construction.

Competition Car Preparation: A Practical Handbook - Haynes Publishing.

There is another book by Haynes - Competition Car Suspension....but it is more construction orientated.

Here is the link for amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/...s&n=507846

There are quite a few books on the market....Caroll Smith is a very well known engineer....he has a few books...but I havent read his book: "Tune to Win"
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/...v=glance

But he can be very boring at some points.......

Hands-On Race Car Engineer - seems to be a very bad book in terms of setups.....I've read bad reviews on it. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obido...QQJAB6IVA5

i'll keep lokking for some books for you.

Try running a little on F1 Challenge it at least gives you a general idea on how the diferent parametres work....and also has a telemetry program, that to me is one of the best telemetry programs that comes with games.....though not very good for real life...

[f3]

thanx guy
but what do you mean with telemetry.
is there telemetry in the f1 game, i have playstation 2 and f1 2003
i will look

if u have more info, it would be very cool
thanx

[Monstrobolaxa]

Well to me F1 Challenge (the game) has the best telemtry of any other F1 game....check it out...but first install the 2004~RH expansion pack....I'lllpost a link in a while...cause I'm not at home....

About the books I'll look for some more.

guys, that site about set up i immediately recognise things for real.

for example in paul ricard a pilot needed quicker steering in a corner and they made it stiffer. it is so cool to have such a site

if there are more thank u but it doesn't have to be pi system, it can be D2 or magnetti system or wathever, just to have a base to start on

ps: i drove f3 in 2004 and was vice-champion for the first year in car. now we are planning to drive in worldseries by renault, just below f1

[schumiGO]

can you registred in this forrum??

What kind of Renault world series?? EuroCup renault 2000??
