Testing - Mettheim

Additional note: This setup benefits from glued sidewalls and will still deliver good steering while on the forgiving side

ETS spec prep and test report

Tech report part 2: This time I rebuilt the car in ETS spec apart from the speedo – for which I chose the Team Cayote Crest Evo this time.
The new V2.0 software on it has two great new features which I wanted to fully understand. A separate deep-dive video on 'Auto Boost' and 'Brake compensation' and why they are fabulous, so I can explain the difference in driving feeling in more detail to you.

TL/DR – huge step forward in balance and performance with short wishbones, -1 camberplates in front and a special little flex trick in the rear. 😉
Therefore this write-up focusses on some option parts, setup and setting up and XRAY X4 '26 for ETS spec carpet racing. I went to the lovely non-permanent indoor track of Mac Mettenheim with a great layout and ETS carpet that has juuust the right amount of grip and consistency.

A note on droop:

I played with droop a lot since I got the new Droop and Up-Stop Gauge HUDY #107730.

For those who still use a regular gauge, I put the standard values down too.

Due to the way I run my rollcenter (0.5 under hub in the front, 1.0 in the rear) the front and rear values translate as follows: f 23.8 = 6.6 ; r 22.6 = 4.8

With this you should be able to make more sense of new values in setup sheets I hope?

Even just a .2 difference between runs makes a difference and it's a great fine-tuning option.
