Mmm, my first reply must have got lost, or I didn't press the right button.... mc, you mightn't have seen these before, but here are the Roland Kussmaul settings that have been reproduced here a couple of times, most recently by @spiller a few months back. I'm running pretty close to these, with Dunlop Direzza ZIII hybrid Road / Track tyres, and I'm very happy with the handling, especially after fitting the adjustable length rear toe arms, which transformed my steering. spiller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree! I used to run -3.8 on my old GT3 and it was perfect. Went for -3 on my current car and it needs more, but not getting too carried away as it’s not a track car. I think it’s also important to look at front to rear camber ratio. If you like a car that turns , it’s best to run less on the rear than the front otherwise it will plow everywhere. mc968cs and Shedpest 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoHeadsTas Posted 8August, 2021 Report Share Posted 8August, 2021 Slack of me, no photos, but Super Sprints with Light Car Club of Tas at Symmons Plains today. I wanted to try out the new clutch, great not having to concentrate on getting the co-ordination of the shift just perfect, light clutch made it so much easier. Did 5 sessions I think it was, got down to a 6 which I was pretty happy with on my Direzza ZIIIs (improvement of 4 secs during the day), will be interesting to see what I can do with my track wheels and A050's next time. Chose the perfect time to head home as a ran into the rain 5 kms after I had left the track..... JWM, tomo and spiller 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiller Posted 26August, 2021 Report Share Posted 26August, 2021 @edgy was nice enough to sell me back my old OZ wheels from 4 years ago. The CS is now looking very similar to my old flame (bottom). I think I’m done now. If anyone is interested in some minimally used Nankang AR-1 r compound/semi slicks/whatever you want to call them, they will be for sale. hugh, micknine01, edgy and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugh Posted 27August, 2021 Report Share Posted 27August, 2021 It's really tough to beat a clean 996 GT3 wearing a set of track wheels/rubber. Just oozes motorsport and a begging to be driven (hard!)
